I think he has a good track record though that is based on just a few games:

JJJ was one of the few players in S7 semi who correctly town read me. That was a game where basically everyone else hardcore tunnelled me (which was exhausting and confidence-murdering since my quali was like that too but worse).

Iirc, JJJ correctly town read me as a spectator in both my quali and finale game last season. Also one comment I always remember from my vanity reading is JJJ's observation during the semi. He was happy that to see me take lead and actually try to be dominant with my reads. I don't include this game as a correct read because I was outed PR, but still! It is one of those little things that motivates me to improve tbh, and I think JJJ as a player will keep an eye on these little things in this game.

Basically, how JJJ got his read on me is how I expect him to read me, and he keeps being accurate tbh
Cool.

If that's the case, then so be it.

Ender could be using Rondo as an excuse to mess around rather than give AI content though, which is worrying. Rondo I kinda expect this from for the entire game. Ender I don't. Could be in fluff still if he is voting for jokesies, but kinda think Ender has been kickin' around enough already to not be in fluff anymore, so I think his vote on Fingersplints meant something.
I don't really think Ender is hiding behind Rondo. His exchange with JJJ about JJJ's squad of three didn't involve Rondo and was an unprompted offering of AI content. He hasn't been particularly forthcoming about his thought processes, but this is unfortunately not uncommon for townies (even though it annoys me) and he's probably given more AI thoughts than most players in the game.
Sounds like you agree that he is unlikely to be in fluff still, and so there probably was/is something to his vote on Fingersplints.

I don't disagree that townies will sometimes be less than forthcoming. Doesn't mean I shouldn't pressure people to answer things though.
I agree he probably has a reason for voting fingersplints and didn't just pick her name out of a hat, yeah. I don't mind you pressuring him to be more forthcoming, I'm just saying I don't think he's hiding behind Rondo.

Speaking of, what are your thoughts on Rondo?

Re: Halvøsen Ridge [DAY 1]

Tossing out this (maybe slightly disrespectful) read:

In a playerlist like this, it would be psychologically easy for Creature as either alignment to do nothing or simply sheep people, especially in the context of an early D0 without any voting. That he's taking stabs at forming his own reads (#401, #404, #422) and trying to discourage a "do nothing and sheep" mentality (#351) reflects well on him, as I think he would be more willing to put in that effort as town.

Aforementioned "little moments" are micro. Macro, I acknowledge that the guy has made more posts than anyone in the game short maybe of lucy. I can't say he's uncomfortable.
He has 77 posts and I can't think of a single game-related opinion he has other than being slightly suspicious of Lucy for talking about TV too much and then saying he liked a post of Lucy's later on. I don't know if the quantity of his posting is a plus there.

Yes. I have never known him to have a mafia game where he was not eager - if I remember correctly, the first time I ever played with him I (incorrectly) wolfread him because his eagerness seemed so over the top I was convinced it was faked.
I tend to wolfread experienced players for being eager (for some reason most of them prefer wolfing because less effort?), but meh.
Most mafia players, in my experience, prefer being town to wolf, regardless of experience level. I am one of the exceptions, but I definitely wouldn't wolfread someone for being eager.

JJJ often has early TRs, no? Is it the fact he has TRs, or the players he's TRing?


Is your TR on my slot based off just the one post you quoted, or is there something more?
The fact that he has three in a gamestate that I found difficult to parse/extract easy reads from.

What are you seeing that I don't?
"Clear" is a strong word. I wouldn't call anyone in the game "clear". Those three reflect the earliest blossoms of town reads for me, however, and that meets my Day 0 standard. Lucy, for example, has fallen into an archetype that has, in my experience, proven to be a quite reliable town tell (not infallible, but plenty solid). She is a new player to forum Mafia, and she is in a new environment filled with strangers who carry reputations in their wake, and she still strikes me as comfortable, engaged, and motivated. She appears ready to try to make her mark on the game, and it has been pretty rare for me to see that kind of attitude in the past from mafia-aligned players in circumstances like hers.

Whaddya like about Captain Falcon?
I've played with a lot of players who come from chat mafia - they are almost always chatty and comfortable in that chattiness, regardless of alignment. I think the fact that Lucy is refusing to make reads and is just talking about TV shows means that I'd expect her to be comfortable even if she was a wolf.

I townread her for a post she made afterwards where she asked Seanzie about his age. I think her worrying about adjusting her perspective on his tone based on his age was a sincere thought, and it's not something that many people, especially forum mafia newbies, would think to fake. It reflects a desire to get things right, which I guess is sorta close to what you said about her wanting to make a mark. I'm with you on Lucy right now.

What about Boquise and Seanzie? I'm not familiar with Boquise, but he hasn't done anything that jumps out as me as town, and Seanzie if anything is being slightly less proddy and pokey than he usually is.

Re: falcon, I think if he was mafia and said the line about there being one wolf between you and Seanzie, it would have been intentionally made to throw shade on you - but he backs off it relatively quickly and plays it off as a joke, which suggests he isn't really interested in pushing that narrative. Nothing out of the realm of fakeability, but it's enough for a townlean on page 2.

Scum reads tend to make people defensive/emotional. Since D0 seems to be jokish, I reckon it could from one perspective ruin the "chill phase" and from another perspective, give scum hints on how to act accordingly.

I am not really pro hiding thoughts, but I think it is better to focus on town reads. I did have a dude on my ol' homesite who was great at sniffing out scum in our N1 phases tho (we had N1 starting before D1 and open night chat for everyone) by just looking at how players acted, if they were nervous etc.


Creature's response is lol and creature-esque. I'm not really satisfied, but it is D0 so!
Making people defensive and emotional is a good way of both finding and executing scum.

lucy wrote: Sun Jun 26, 2022 3:56 pm A few things I wanna say before we get started for those of you who don’t know. Champs, particularly in qualifiers is incredibly scumsided. The current stats are 54 wolf wins to 19 town wins for qualifiers. Not only that but from what I know there has only ever been one town sweep in qualifier game for champs, and my goal is for us to be the second . Few things I’ve picked up from that game and previous champs games this year that I think might be important for us to incorporate and areas where I picked up previous towns went wrong

-This point may already be obvious to some but : the most important thing you can do as a villager is make yourself an obvious villager. The last town that swept was led by Jjj/spf and they encouraged a playstyle that focussed heavily on finding other townies first before hunting for wolves and the best way to facilitate that is by making yourself an obvious townie and taking yourself out of the miselimination pool and working with open communication to find other townies. Champs by nature encourages a glory hunting playstyle where people want to be the one who catches wolves before everyone and be the one to bury wolves but the most successful towns have always been the ones that focussed more on working with each other and finding other townies before trying to bury wolves. If we can all do our part to raise the bar of towniness wolves will eventually out themselves and either be forced to push obvious townies and further out themselves, bus each other or just give up and lolcat.

- if the game starts too feel too easy it probably means there’s something wrong. The stats don’t lie, this is favored for wolves which means it’s not supposed to be easy for us. People often go for the easiest/least accountable votes on d1 but keep in mind wolves have teammates and I’ve rarely seen wolves bus hard d1 in champs. So if the entire lobby is dogpiling on one or two slots d1 don’t get complacent because we could be way off.
im plagiarizing Illario/happy, who was a wolf in my game, but I found this advice pretty good nonetheless
I bet he added in the second part after the Champs Practice game.

I have 0 people I'd consider clear enough to call them part of my squad - I have a light townread on Falcon and that's mostly it. You have three.

What are you seeing that I don't?

"Warned" is an odd choice of words to use. Who "warned" you about this lobby and why?
Lag, because of player strength, and that this is my second forum mafia game
Generally people are excited to play in stacked lists. I'm curious about your framing of it as a warning, a negative thing. Was there anything specific you or Lag were concerned or afraid about?
excited is quoting me, I was paraphrasing lag. i was framing it as competition where for me personally that specific framing has positive connotations due to the lack of competition I normally face in games/school and whatnot. one concern i had was pulling wolf, thankfully I didn't cause then this lobby would become a burden compared to an asset
Okay.

What's your most confident read at this moment?

I can tell Lucy is a Discord mafia player just by reading her posts.

Werd. What gives me away, Seanzie?
I mean, your general approach is helpful, and even though I kinda think you'd do that as either alignment as it would be expected of you, I'll still give marginal townpoints to people townsiding early on even if it is in their wolf range, but your approach to (and around) Lucy looks good, in particular this post:

Does lucy taking the game PREEETY serious mean something to you?
Something about the combination of snideness, curiosity and pushing the game forward in this post is enough that town bells rang in my head.
JaggedJimmyJay wrote: Sat Jun 25, 2022 9:49 pm I appreciate an early effort from Seanzie to develop a read of some measure of substance at a stage when many wouldn't bother. I temper that by acknowledging that "town read Jay" isn't a "difficult" perspective to adopt, hypothetically. Nonetheless it's a start.
JJJ and Sean doing a cute lil' dance around each other here.


69% chance one of em' is Maf
No.
Life is a lot more interesting if you say yes more often than no.


Mafia is Life.




Ergo, don't say no
I think this post from falcon is kinda townie.
