Hatland Mafia

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

I was also joking too. Mostly.

Anyway to explain my upcoming absence it's 2am and I'm gonna sleep. Night people see you in like 10-14 hours depending on when I've got free time today.

I fell for that trap on my first game, so I am rather wary as people start to refer to past games again.

That's indeed true. Now that I think on it I even used the fact that Fenris was using his old behavior to his advantage in the last game, so it's pretty stupid of me to have tried to argue from that point.
I guess I can't really blame you for voting me if that's how you feel about it but I will be extremely upset if you actually lynch me.
I may cry.

Though in your defense, it could be that the first day you just happened to find a mostly empty thread and started posting, or you wish to post a bit more and make yourself known. Still, I find its a bit uneasy so I'm staking a claim and seeing where it leads.

That's basically it. I hadn't noticed a difference because it's just my usual habit to burst in on Day 1 and fuck about. But in this game I got here a fair bit earlier than usual and started the fucking about rather than just reacting to it. So, your point does have validity in that the habit is different this time around. But I'm not sure where along those lines it points toward "scummy" behavior.
I think that's an important thing to keep in mind in early days, people act differently given different roles, but that doesn't necessarily mean they've been given a scummy role.

If I were, say, the PO. I may decide to feign relative inactivity while I build a list of confirmed townies and scum before revealng myself. If I were a Vig I'd probably take a more aggressive route in rooting the enemy because if I don't have suspicions my targeting is useless.

I don't really remember being mafia in anything that's near a recent game so I can't really speculate on how I'd perform under those circumstances. But a lot like the PO the idea would be to keep myself out of the spotlight, because my nature as a joker doesn't lend well to trying to lead town there's no chance for me to gain that position. So the safest place is out of harms way.

Ok, just got home finished reading through the thread again. I've not seen any proper scum tells yet. It being day 1 that isn't really a huge surprise. I'm not hugely keen on the way Snake makes massive walls of text, that is to say that the content isn't the problem just that he isn't forming that content in any where near as concise a way as possible because honestly posts that large are very time consuming to dissect.

No votes from me yet, I do have a few suspicions though.

FOS:Rpgdemon (appears to be some what confident)

FOS:Aldurin (Telling PO what to do)



So yea no one I feel confident voting for yet given what's happened, so far.

My eyes are starting to hurt from staring at Snake's pink text.

Unvote: Fenris

Vote: Solid Snake

Although.... Sifright hasn't changed his avatar from the one he held for Pony Mafia.

Could it be because his new avatar would be A FEDORA???

I mean, in all honesty, I feel like Snake's massive post of roles, player by player, might have been:

1) Bravado/swagger, trying to show off what a master he is at "reading" people

2) An attempt to make himself seem important or something. He's trying to take the lead, for one reason or another.

The way that he's been reacting so strongly to any and all criticism makes me think he's afraid to explain his reasoning, too; I haven't looked very hard at his posts, but I feel like they could be dissected to see if there are certain players he guides the readers away from, or certain players he is unreasonably harsh to (to throw off the trail). Voting for Snake at this juncture does honestly seem like a good bet to me, and it's not just because I'm sick of having to strain my eyes.

Unvote: Solid Snake

Excuse me good sir, I am the best kind of hat.

Okay, Kerensky isn't the only one doing this, but you're the only one to say it in so many words I think. Guys, this whole "snake is writing too much and I have to reeeaaaad it" whining is incredibly pointless. It'd honestly be more suspicious if he didn't write a ton of stuff and frankly it's not that hard to read (whether the logic is valid or not is another subject). It's not a tell for Smarty to get commie all up ins, and it's not a tell for snake to post walls of text. Just treat it like any other post and we'll all be better for it.

Like I literally can see no progress from him once he goes into walls of text mode because he then starts strangling himself and anyone near him with overthought logic while others are too intimidated to try to keep up.

For voting him, I was holding Bard as a semi-joke vote until I could find a more reasonable target, and Snake is looking like a problem.

The main thing that nags me is that his hyperactive textwalls seem different from last game. Like I seriously would think that Snake would try to properly establish himself as town if he was town, but the post where he points everybody out just has sarcasm in his place, where I honestly would have expected a proper defense or explanation.

I do get the feeling that he may be scum trying to recreate his "I'm town SO HARD" thing he did last game.

Never mind, this is actually a better example of what I'm accusing Kerensky of.
