Sure. Slender is the cop and bomb, my teammate, is buddying them so when they flip cop overnight or after the lynch today, they look supportive.

It's nice to have a friend, banks. Even if I have to eventually kill you.

Some innocents (though probably not many here) don't realize that it naturally sounds scummy, some like to say it anyways cause it's the honest truth for them, and some do it on purpose to try and increase their scum-factor for whatever reason.

So my first thought after reading over all the bios is that Doc sounds like he could be my twin, and I'm either going to have a really tough time reading him, or I'm going to agree with everything he says, naturally want to trust him, and then be constantly paranoid that he was too easy a read. The latter is totally how I felt about Fiction in game 5.
also think this entrance is awkward

i think they would call it a SHAPE read here

I dont think it is an amateur wolftell. I dont think it is a tell. I think it would be the most standard opening regardless of your role. Actually from my little experience i think that starting out claiming wolf is slightly more often a wolf than a villager, therefore claiming villager, should mathematically be sliiiiiiiiiiightly more villagery than wolfy..
Mathematically doesn't come into it. Even if you found that Mafia will more often claim to be Mafia than Town would claim to be Mafia, that doesn't have anything to do with the maths behind the odds of Town claiming Town over Mafia claiming Town.

Once I have walked my dog I will be able to be here for several hours.

A few notes before I do anything more than just search my name:

I find it kind of weird that saying good morning could be seen as wolfy, and the person who said this then follows up as if it is some great big alignment thing why at 8:30 in the morning (or so) I might not have time to be readily available. I don't know if this is a good or bad weird yet, but it's for sure weird. Bankertin was the man, for reference.

I won my putt putt game and established dominance over my 5 year old nephew and 6 year old niece. They were totally demoralized.

Quick question to come back to: who among the wild cards read the other games?

Be back soon.

Got a different seer read atm. but yours is a good choice.

I don't mind dying as long as I do so gloriously. Make sure to include a bunch of stuff in chat about how my picture should be a donkey and not a goat.

Bomb not doing bad at all although you should prolly bus his first post is getting a good chunk of heat.

Openly saying anything of strategic value day 1 *feels* like a lie. Whether it is or not is less relevant. And if your allegiance feels like a lie, that's bad.
did smartbomb's post feel like a lie to you, and if it did why?

I'm asking you to go through specific parts of my OP and explain how they are like that. For future reference, if I'm confused about your meaning, I'll tell you.

"Interesting" tends to come off as a scumread. Why not explain everything instead of making a vague and non-committal comment?

OK.

Just getting up now actually and red through the thread. Already love all of you.... which is to say that any of you who cannot prove to have good logical reasoning and a willingness to kill to learn more will end up on my sh*t list.

Going to go get prepped for the day and then chat witg you guys a bit.

But honest question, in what world is saying "glad I'm a villager" day 1 not the most amateur wolf tell ever? In my world that's an auto lynch just for either being that stupid of a newbie or for making a "meta" joke as a veteran that no one really appreciates.

I am giving half of the benefit of the doubt that that sort of light hearted shenanigans is more acceptable where he comes from. But I fully believe "WW (mafia) is serious business"
So in your world, that's an auto lynch? That means you're changing your playstyle to appeal to people playing here. Interesting. Interesting. Can't wait to see how changing everything that makes you "you" works out for...you.

This discussion is irrelevant for the game, but I can see what you mean, as they can choose not to claim..

Glad to hear you let them know what's what on the greens. The way you talk about it makes me laugh and thats the best thing that has happened in this thread so far. Aside from fonti hating me.

I was trying to get your attention thanks for noticing me

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.
Could you be specific in the specific ways you would specifically like slender to be specific? Specifically your specific response is what I'm specifically after.

Ease up on the cop, fonti.

And how come you are not that nervous? This is game 6!! the step just before the final and epic game of champions, and you are not that nervous?

Hi everybody! Sorry, I thought I posted this before my morning meeting. Damn work getting in the way of good mafia-ing.

Here are all my feelings right now....

Banks talks a lot. Talking alot for the sake of talking can be good in getting stuff out or it can be scum trying to much up the boards with nonsense. Nothing definitive yet as a read but it stood out to me.

Slendy's "Once I've seen more posts from you" post bothers me and intrigues me. It's a very "shoot first, ask questions later" mentality. I dunno - could be good strategy but it is not something I would do. Maybe it's because I am more cautious of my vote within the first 2 hours that the game is open and I want to get a sense of how people are posting? But the answer to "Why are you voting for me?" is awesome if it works.

still digesting others but those are the two that immediately stood out for comment.
