Looks like Owen Wilson. He doesn't play many villain roles, so that could be it.

I don't even speak English, tbh.

The fact you haven't figured that out already either makes you town or willfully ignorant.

By the way, I am thinking the former for WIFOMy reasons
I am not even sure what this means.

I know like less than 50% of the people playing this game

What's a mash?

Last time you gave me an easy townread for NAI reasons you were mafia.

You die, if you dont die then i will kill you with my big gun tonight.

I see what looks to be a logical fallacy of some sort.

I think Sloonei has had an odd start to the game in terms of calling Guillo out for "logical fallacy" reasons being oddly defensive of HK for no real reason.

Guillo instructed me to look at his hk vote and describe what I saw. So I did that.

Nobody was “called out” or “defended”.

@Sloonei pyxxy is from my home community. Lost wolves aren't a thing there at all
What is lost mafia/wolves? Because I'm imagining the mafia in a car and there's the navigator who doesn't want to admit they have no clue where they are

And by that, I mean I have no clue what it means in mafia terms

Lost mafia = members of the mafia team who are separated from the rest of the team. Usually the rest of the team is unaware of the lost mafia’s identities.

Lost Mafia = a game of mafia using the show Lost as its theme, hosted by Golden.

It still is odd you had to be told to do so though as it was a suspicion that was one of the more laid out ones in the thread

No it isn’t.

Hollowkatt does not easily townread me like that as town and top it up, he just threatened to put me on ignore for pushing him which he never does as town, specially because we are friends, it's an overreaction.

"Happened once when he was mafia" =/= "never does as town"

I'm also not inclined to believe these sorts of "X player never/always does this as A alignment" within the opening moments of a game.

clearly you’ve never played with the 3 of them
Sloonei is 3 people?

This isn't also a read on Guillo/HK

Like I have no idea what to really make of HK's contributions yet though they very easily towntell for me theoretically.

Guillo's contributions have felt EV+ for them with the aggression and suspecting people in the way Guillo usually does.

Sloonei, I have no idea about, never played a game with him

I'm three people in a trenchcoat blindly mashing at a keyboard. It's a pure stroke of luck that most of our senseless mashing ends up resembling cohesive and relevant daeahuiohf ,

A game without JaggedJimmyJay still manages to feature two JaggedJimmyJays.

Four, if you count the other two Slooneis.

it's the feeling I get from this interaction

I dig it. Micro interactions like this feel very spontaneously and can be harder to pull off when you're hyper-conscious of your perceived association with the other person.

The theory is basically that mafia partners are more conscious of how they look in relation to one another. As such, they might be more hesitant to engage in casual chatter like this early in a game. Their interactions might instead tend to feel more choreographed, prepared, or calculated. They'll pick their spots.

So when two players freely and spontaneously engage in a silly little side conversation, it can be taken as an indication that they do not have those concerns about perception against them.

This is not a rock solid tell, nor am I saying that I agree or disagree with pyxxy's read of sig and sabiplz. But I can see where the thought comes from, and it is a read I am willing to acknowledge at this stage of the game (even if I'm projecting my own interpretation onto it).

What's this?

The exercise of Listing Reasons Why You Townread Every Player In the Game.

I have found it to be very successful when done at certain stages of the game. It is not effective on Day 1 of a 30+ player game, unfortunately. It's a very good mid-to-late game exercise when the POE is narrowed down to just a few players.

I meant to tag @lucy since I was answering her original question, but my oversensitive track pad clicked 'Submit' before I remembered to do so. Such a shame.

I have done trustfalls in games with Michelle on multiple occasions.

This would have been a few years ago and she has no reason to remember every silly thing I have ever done in a mafia game. But it's still A Thing and I'm going to make a note of it.

reasonable tell. my plan was to just wait out until numbers dwindle. most likely will sheep alison/mac if i think theyre town since this is their home arena and they'll probs get nkd early if theyre town. once the numbers die down we should work together if we're both still around.

This game is too big. I’ll start solving later when there are fewer people.
