Fwiw I was going to say that SFS's very serious posts have rubbed me the wrong way and struck me as somewhat odd too. But I guess my analysis and opinion don't matter now? Geez...

I'm interested in seeing where this leads, with my above suspicions as my reasonings.

Do you think SFS is scummy, Galzria?

Not moreso than other people.

Can you post what you were going to post? Pops isn't the leader here.  I personally didn't really find anything odd with his posts, I found Theorel more odd.  I think Theorel himself was the only one that commented on those feelings?

Exactly

@Pops, I'm like...RL worked up about this. Please do not handle yourself that way in this game. I don't even care if it's a tactic that some experienced mafia players use.

And here I though DSell was sarcastic with that last post.

O can be O because he's O. TINAS, same thing but moreso. Pops? I'm not buying it. It's WAY to calculated as a "I cannot ****ing believe these guys didn't get themselves lynched. I think I'll use it to stay alive". It's asinine play, but it doesn't feel genuine like our other troll players.

I hadn't started writing yet so I don't have a saved copy or anything of what I was going to write. I don't find SFS suspicious per say but I do find his posts a little odd. I totally understand the desire to get information out there, but 1) He says that he's a funny guy and hopes this doesn't get him in trouble but says we should be more serious and 2) I don't like that he tries to tell us how to post (That's why I'm so frustrated at pops). Feels wrong to me. Like someone said, skepticism is a friend of the town, we need to really think and post our own way without being unduly affected by others.

SFS has yet to show evidence of his humorousness. He really isn't posting much. But he was all like "I'mma be funny" after the town had shown a general inclination toward appreciating humor. Like "Ooh, free town points."

[Axxle]

"Imma be funny.

Don't be funny Axxle I don't like it!"

@O: Puppies of large dogs are cute. I've not encountered puppies of yappy-type dogs enough times to form an opinion on them.
I'm fine with smart children, but there are a lot of obnoxious, loud, undisciplined children that I prefer to stay clear of me.
I think this is where I say: God Bless America.

To be fair it was a little out of character of me.

I agree that there are odd things ABOUT his play, but nothing I've read as Mafia/Not Mafia, and certainly not enough to say "he's town, end of story". It's not the first time Pops has made comments like this, and then refused to answer to amuse himself. Is Pops Mafia? /shrug - but it's worth exploring more than some others in my mind.

Here's what I'm curious about at the moment. It seems that someone will say, "Hey, look what this person did. Suspicious. VOTE: THEM." And then two or three other people will instantly jump on that vote, sometimes with no explanation.

So, you were won over to that pretty easily, eh Grujah?

When I use absolutes I don't mean "I'm right and everyone else is wrong no debate".  Speaking in absolutes is just a frequent mafia convention.  Like... the convention of referring to characters of a film set in the future in past tense. 

I regret upsetting Dsell.  It seems like I made him feel unwelcome to disagree, which is not something I want to cause.

That's certainly what it sounded like to all of us.

It's town.  Lay off him.  Let's move onward.

I don't mean to unduly stir the pot here but you weren't exactly inviting others to post their disagreeing ideas.

[Axxle]

Insomniac - Your timing is impeccable. Not lurking, just getting caught up.  Played golf this morning and this is the first time I've been able to read since confirming my role last night.  6 new pages, wow. Someone expressed concern that this would be longer than MIII, I suspect it will be very long indeed with 15 of us.

Voltgloss - Thanks for moderating this, with all you have going on.

fluff

Axxle - Thanks for the link to the two articles.  I found the second article to be particularly important.

slight townread (for me)

Couple of housekeeping things before I begin the substantive part of my post:
1) I am a newbie, having never played this game at all in any format.
2) I have created a temporary signature to define my abbreviations for people's names. If your name is not abbreviated in my signature, I will do my best to use it in its entirety.  I did this because someone in an earlier post used the salutation "@G", and there are 4 names in this game that start with "G".
3) I'm not going to read MI or MII (with the exception of checking the two starting posts, to verify the absence of the players in my first question below), and I will likely abandon my reading of MIII, which is currently in Night 1.
4) My gender is male, if it helps anyone avoid awkward choices of pronoun.
5) I am on EDT in the US, if that is useful info for anyone in evaluating posting patterns. (God, I'm such a data whore).

fluff

Now, on to substance:

@Theo, Gloob, Green:  You were not in MI or MII or MIII.  Have you played Forum Mafia before?  Have you played IRL?

That isn't substance...

After reading the second article that Axxle suggested, I am of the opinion that random voting on Day 1 is anti-town.  Day 1 is indeed a time for to be as non random as possible.  So, I'll be bold:

VOTE: O, because he will be voting randomly.

Pre-post addendum:  OMG, while I'm wrestling with this, another full page?  I started this literally one minute after #211.

Not original, and he complains later about O not addressing it.  We all know O's random, O most of all.


I really don't see how you can get a town read off this guy.  I'm not getting a strong mafia read off him but pops, can you explain a bit.  Or is it all just gut.

[Galzria]

@Robz, yes, it is very worth watching.

Thanks, though.

I merely agree to Galz post (quoted one).

Though I do find myself getting too easily won over (have this feeling in RL as well as here, actually).

You find yourself getting easily won over in real life, or during mafia in real life?

Generally.

But my intention here was to purposly jump the bandwagon.
