alison is giving similar vibes as jjj
tututu is null for me right now
ted isn't playing his usual town game
michelle from what little she posted looks town bit would love to see or from her
falcon looks townie
KZA null
mac townie maybe
esona null
stou looks townie
odd with the way he dipped is making me think he is scum
long con null
marmot null
TSP slight scum lean
straw looks townie
stay null
fingers null
JPIC null
boknows slight scum lean
If there's anything here that gives me pause, it's the highlighted thing. It's representative of a rather common paranoia I receive from folks newly encountering my style of play who are actually tasked with figuring it out (i.e. town).

For what it's worth to Long Con: I think the frequency with which he receives suspicion is a product of two things above all else:
1) lower activity level -- it may be lame that this happens, but it's not surprising. When more and more players adopt a POE-styled approach, players who offer less material to interpret are going to be read with less confidence by default. It's inescapable. That's why some people seem to find themselves in POE pools every game. I'm sorry that happens, but I don't know what can be done about it on the part of the hunters.
2) Long Con has a way of inviting it as a self-fulfilling prophecy and causing snowball effects. I might as well not even try, because I'll just get read as mafia -- this is an anecdotal view based on some frustrating incidents where trying did result in suspicion. But in general, trying harder is going to result in greater trust. It's also inescapable.
Number 2 was just a phase, I don't think I'm into that anymore.

It looks like someone trying to avoid a trap.
if he's trolling, what trap is there to avoid
the whole context was that we just talked about MIND GAMES...

and the post that cemented him being trolling is LITERALLY "you're fun to play mind games with"

Mac can literally be trolling. It's irrelevant. Instead of addressing the suspicion your head is at "am I being trolled?" or "am I being reaction tested" -- that's not where it ought to be.

i just said i had him as a town read in my head - and it was clearly a troll, you're expecting me to read into troll posts?
it's like saying copypastas are alignment indicative

I'm not telling you to interpret Mac's alignment. I'm telling you to play the game with a civilian mindset. You can read Mac as town and receive an accusation from him without defaulting to "am I being trolled?" like someone who is egg-shelling a perceived reaction test in an effort to pass it.

Joseph set up a "not serious, it's mind games" vibe. I guess mind games can be non-trolling, but it's easy to conclude that he's trolling when he's playing mind games.

Who's Joe?
Also how would Mac benefit from "trolling" ted? I don't see a world where Mac can gain from trolling another player.
