1. Skitter - Null currently.
2. T3 - Null currently.
3. Kcdaspot - I do question his comment about Med looking shady. Also if Med's shady then why wait a page or so to place a vote? I have a slight TR on him for being active and engaging but... anyone could do that.
4. Pooky - Null. I didn't get that feeling he got about the alt discussion.
5. Media - Slight SR. The posts occasionally come off as a bit too aloof and carefree, although that doesn't count for much. The "I just, I dunno" to me comes off a bit forced. That's just me though.

these are just personality/typographical traits common to me
like here are my isos from my two most recent completed games (both as town):
so you can see that that's just who i am/how i type and such
the 'i just i dunno' comes from my attempts at capturing how i would say things in text form and hitting enter instead of backspace when i pause midthought which is something i am constantly refining both within and without mafia but! veering into unrelated to game territory here
also maybe slightly interesting to me that you seem to have similar thoughts to me re: kcdaspot's comment about my shadiness and! kcdaspot's stating that he is waiting to vote while townreading kcdaspot and voting me but eh stated weights etc
alsoalso, if you're going to drop a letter the i is the one to drop as 'medea' is the most common english transliteration, it's just that medea was already taken and it would not let me choose médée (after the opera) due to unallowed characters even though i already have an andrée account

Medeia, wanna make a
Town Contract
with me?
It's simple, and I made it up.
Every time I ask you a direct question you answer me upfront without evasion/deflection, and the same for me when you ask me direct questions. It's not fool-proof but it'd go a LONG way in fostering trust. If rejected or broken that'd make the one rejecting/breaking it look Scummy.

I extend this invitation to you.
i mean, sure
i'm not really sure why this isn't just something you'd assume about me or most players by default i guess
(1)
though i am not really the best at being clear and that is sometimes seen as evasion/deflection like if i am having difficulty weighing something and you just keep asking me 'but does that mean x is scums or not?' or whatever then i could foresee this being difficult i guess
(2)
but on a baseline sure anything that fosters communication generally good
(3)
(1) It's because there's Scum masquerading as Town in this game.
(2) Hey man, that'd be excellent practice at getting direct and to the point.
(3) Wonderful.
I'll wait until about page 10 before asking you those questions, for the sake of getting more context first, unless you'd prefer we start now?

This is going to sound crazy but I overestimated the time I have to play Mafia. If I play just one game at a time this idea may work better, but currently I don't think so. I do like that you were open to the idea though.

Who said anything about claiming or being eliminated right now?
noone said anything about that, well other than me i guess, i just don't see what my vote accomplishes and i do not like to vote outside of those situations
like it just muddies things from my perspective and i think there are better ways to go about gaining information than simply voting and! like i said far too many disasters yeah
Now hold on. I'm asking you to pressure Pooky by casting a vote at him. I never said anything about a claim or an alimination—YOU did. You don't see that votes to pressure other players don't accomplish anything? Clarify that for me please right now. You pressure other players with votes in order to see how they respond. Just because you cast a vote doesn't mean you MUST commit to their claim and elimination that Day.

Your hesitancy on this is making NO sense to me.
i know that i did, i stated that i did in the post that you just quoted
i think interacting with players is more likely to lead to readable content than pressure voting
you may pressure other players with votes in order to see how they respond
but i do not,
as i generally think their responses are more readable in other situations and! i have found that wagons are often pushed through simply because they exist
and! i know that scum!pooky doesn't have a problem with reacting in a specific way to 'pressure' as scum regardless
Both interacting AND pressure voting leads to readable content. It's not an either/or thing.
If you want there to be readable content then you should not have any sort of hesistance on casting a pressure vote.

i... don't get it
like really what do you see my pressure vote accomplishing here if i were to place it
Because two votes in more pressure than ONE vote, and when you pressure players they tend to react, especially with more pressure.
How long have you been playing Mafia?
absolutely none of this makes any sense to me
been playing mafia a little over 3 years, generally haven't been voting outside of the aforementioned situations for the last two and a half years or so? since the binding of isaac disaster
WHAT is not making sense to you?
The more votes on a person the more pressure they feel. Two votes cause more pressure than ONE vote.

like why you think my voting here would lead pooky to revealing himself one way or another in a way that simply interacting with pooky about our concerns would not
why you think my not doing so is likely to come from mafia
what outcome you are expecting from this interaction at this point
In post 162, Random Nurse wrote:
Technically both can lead to disaster, in that if the interacting goes sideways a player could replace-out, so your point is moot.
Pressure voting RARELY leads to disaster on Day 1, especially when it's just TWO.
You're making it look like you're refusing to pressure vote Pooky and I want to know WHY.
i mean, i generally take great care to keep everything within the game as much as possible when interacting with others and have interacted with pooky at great length in the past, i really don't see how you would possibly think that should be an equivalent concern to me here in this situation
like i said, wagons get pushed through simply because they exist all of the time and i do not see the great benefit that you are claiming here
what do you mean by 'making it look like'? like you asked me if i was going to pressure vote pooky here and i said no and explained why
you don't seem to like that explanation, but it is what it is

she feels v earnest and playing entirely within her worldview which i believe she believes
she isn't not voting to pooky to stir up trouble or to hold you at arms length
she isn't voting pooky b/c she doesn't believe in voting people she doesn't want to imminently vote out, and pooky has not yet reached that stage
i'm getting a lot of earnestness in her posts + attempting to sort
don't see a reason to sr her rn
There's no real excuse to refuse pressure voting anyone, especially Day 1.
Pressure voting, like interacting, is how you get valuable content.

Random Nurses' push on medeia seems like it comes from town. I liked the way he was assertive about medeia being anti-town and it kind of reminded me of how town often treat lurkers. It seems like Random Nurse genuinely believes that voting people to put the pressure on is a core tenet of how town play.
That's literally part of how you should be playing the game as Town.
It's like playing the game but refusing to vote ever, or refusing to engage. It doesn't look right IMHO.

As I understand it Scum team members will typically *fight* with each other early on, so I'm always looking for that tell.
I'm a veteran Mafia player but haven't played in about two years, so am rusty.
Saving this for later. Kinda curious on how accurate this is...
I don't know about this, actually. Staged fights are useful, sure, but there are benefits to other strategies.

Although I would caution Skitter that someone with 20 years of playing Mafia would know exactly how to appear as the towniest Town to ever town. What I'm saying is don't develop a blind spot.

A cat's paw is slang for someone being used by another to do something unsavory or dangerous, etc. Kinda like getting someone disposable to do your dirty work for you.

could you maybe also give some thoughts on the game while you're here?
like i am fine with t3 claiming as i said above but would also like more than
'game's dragging t3 should claim' from you
especially since part of game dragging is due to absence of you/others
Some thoughts? Sure, I'll give you some thoughts. Currently this game sucks because it's dragging, and I'm in the work deathspin and not quite willing to replace out.
If you're going to ask me who Scum is I don't know. I can only give you gut reads or vibes, and then wave away paranoid flailing. I'm inclined to think Skitter is Town due to engagement but as you know that's not AI—not much actually is, and I don't know people's meta here. Pooky I can't tell, and it's a chore trying to engage because of the attitude. You I don't know currently. T3 I don't know either, but we're running out of time and barely anyone is active. I only have a slight gut ping on Chicago but that's it. I don't even remember who the other players are.
What I NEED is a flip so I actually have SOMETHING tangible to work with.

t3 can ghost as either alignment its basically a coin flip of sorts, i dont feel great about it but hes kind of being deadweight
It doesn't help that he's not engaging much, and I don't know if he's Scum or not, but I am willing to compromise on a lil if it means getting a flip.
What I would prefer is if he jumps in and starts engaging more. Now that I have a small bubble of time I can pick at this game a bit and just let my thoughts flow.
Basically everyone, because I have no idea who Town or Scum are.
Even my Townreads I can't tell because, as you know, Scum can be REALLY good at blending in.
no its not a trick question - its weird to me you say you're paranoid but I have no idea who you're even talking about. when i say i'm paranoid about something i usually point to a certain specific scenario - i dont see it used often as to say the entire game.
If you're Town like me I'm trying to reach out to you and try to make a connection this game. For me personally my gamestate is that I'm literally paranoid of everyone (as TOWN) because I have been fooled many times before by Scum. By that same token when I am Scum I struggle hard because you have to act as Town despite knowing you're Scum: I'm a terrible liar. As Town I can take as many liberties as I want because I legit don't know and win with Town.
I think with you and me it's more like differences in gameplay and perspective, assuming you're Town. My absolute strengths are actually my aggression and interrogation as my main. When I can start chewing into the game and pumping out content and sorting people out, that's where I find my strength. It's just tough when you're constantly working and mentally drained.

Despite having been inactive for awhile I would hazard a guess that Scum are among the inactive because it benefits them greatly. That said I could be very wrong. How do you guys feel on that?
