You don't like rolling mafia?
Why not then and there?
I've actually encountered the opposite in my experience. Scum tend to feel awkward, like they'd be overacting if they made a post proclaiming relief at rolling town. Honest town, on the other hand, do it all the time. I also really doubt that it's a major tell in this context.
:/
At least you're consistent. When you're done with this, can we talk about the reasons for waiting?
I didn't see it. I may or may not being skimming your posts. You're probably going down the wrong path with the Bomb dude, though. Dorian already told you why.

I don't like how you're deflecting here. I'm asking you why you found him to be awkward at that point. Address that.
That's fair. Why not say say that, then?
You agreed with me, I agreed with your logic, and you sounded genuine. It's a start.

Real quickly, since I have these quoted, I'll throw these in:
I quoted these yesterday mostly just to stimulate some discussion (and because I think/thought there may be more to them).
A term we often use here on 2+2 is TMI or (too much information). I dont know if that's a term you all use elsewhere so I am sorry if it seems I am explaining a stupidly-simple concept.
Basically wolves have TMI because they have knowledge of everyones roles. Often, mafia/wolves (**** me, I am going to mess this up all game), exhibit TMI through their posting as "slips". Not even the best mafia are able to mask this all game.
The bolded ARE NOT necessarily examples of TMI. The wording could be just as easily used, in context, by a townie. However, recurring plausible examples generally start to set off red flags in my mind.
The bolded often imply knowledge (or a higher-level of confidence (if font is town)) of anothers role - "you're probably going down the wrong path with bomb dude and dorian already told you why" is like a really, really hard post to make from the perspective of a town (especially this early in the game).
On page 2, a townie should be wary of virtually every other player in the entire game - using 1 players post (dorian) to justify easing fear over another player (smart) exhibits confidence in smart's role that a townie probably shouldnt have by page 2.
Its possible that font is a townie and was already fairly set in his read of smart...but I am/was just trying to highlight examples of when/where people exhibit confidence that is just not natural for a townie to have based on the information available.
__________
I am actually simply just going to cut off there because I dont want to get stuck over analyzing something from page 2 when there are 7 more pages of font's posts for me to still read. I may end up changing my POV on him entirely so I dont want to get tied up critiquing something that I wouldnt even agree with had I had more information (which I do!).
