I can typically formulate some kind of theory or model that could conceivably represent what he is doing even if he rarely makes it clear. This time his posts seem extracted from a random generator.Sloonei wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 2:32 pmDo you typically know what he is doing?JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 2:28 pm I have no idea what Tony is doing in this game and might just park my vote until I do.

Isn't it better for the fruit vendor to claim right away? Basically an IC, yeah? Could have me (the watcher) go on 'em too. I know it's delayed mechanics and all, but still useful as long as I'm not killed.
And for everyone's efforts on this page, I'm gonna slap a small townread on all of you good folk right away. I'm warning ya though, my mind changes easily, but gettin' good vibes from this crowd. I like Jimmy's idea too, about Stayposi being naturally on guard about his early buddy-buddy with her. He seems like a good player, so I think her being naturally curious about all of that is pretty nice as far as ground zero reads go.
I would have shared a read by now if I wanted to.TonyStarkPrime wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 4:21 pmwaiting on sloonei and proving a pointJaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 2:01 pm Does TonyStarkPrime really read me as mafia? Is this a real thing?

i think that you're correct that it's more likely for me to put a higher level of effort into the beginning of a game if i'm a wolf, and maybe it's even villagery for you to pick up on that, but your meta expectations are wrong
lol this read is gonna sound so silly, but i wrote that post about sloonei likely being a villager when i was a little bit stoned, and i think it's kinda villagery for dizzy to have picked up on my vibe on that page being "different" from the vibe of the rest of my posts. it tells me that dizzy was genuinely attempting to parse the thread for ~vibes~Dyslexicon wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 8:22 amAlso SPF. Her delivery and timing of Sloonei town read was anti-musical. And she's a good musician.Son of Anarch wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 12:36 am Man this game ain't spicy enough. You all are being way too careful. So ya know what? I'm gonna toss out a spicy take here and get a temp check:
I think Lime Coke's entrance to the thread was relatively safe in a wolf-y way. Man's dropped a townread on Sloonei after Jimmy already said he thought Sloonei was town and then half his explanation, as that nice lass StayPosi pointed out, was about somethin' to do with what Sloonei did after he made the read.
Oh yeah and as far as TSP goes. Well, I think I might be pickin' up what Sloonei is puttin' down here. Originally I was thinking in my head that TSP agreeing and changing his mind was kinda villagery, but now after Sloonei revealed the meta was fake, I'm almost wonderin' if TSP changed his mind to not try to outright disagree with the meta, but discredit it in a way.
Anyways, that's all I got for now. I'm pretty tired and my eyes are drooping... I'll probably still be stalkin' the thread because I'm doing some raids, but won't bother writing more until the morning.
But otherwise, ok. I don't really have a take on TSP myself, but I can definitely read him because of that one time I caught him as mafia.

just to quickly address this, you might want to read page 2 of this recently completed MU game, where i was a villager and i opened the game by asking a series of increasingly nitpicky and overtly specific questions to a wolf: https://www.mafiauniverse.com/forums/th ...

Similar to Hally, I feel she can be prone to more try hardness early as mafia, without actually having hard experience/proof of that.

Hi, Sig.
Dizzy hey! I like all your posts but it’s killing me you made so many
actually, sig quoted post #198 one minute after saying that he liked dizzy's posts, which is a point before dizzy had started posting in this game. this means that sig's catch-up was likely not at a point where he had reached dizzy's posts, even though he had a positive opinion about them
how so?
this could actually be a point in favor of illario being a villager, because i think as a wolf he would have a certain level of cautiousness about trying to pocket me/jagged. it's likely that he would want to do "towny" things to get into our good graces instead of just calling us town right out of the gate with no concern for how little reasoning he hadilario wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 12:38 pmNahhh I didn’t really extrapolate into why. Tbh I don’t even have a reason, though I didn’t particularly feel like flipping mafia in this lobby since last time I played against spf sloonei jjj combo they were all town and I kinda wanted to see what it would be like to town with Atleast a few of them, so I was pretty relieved when I saw my alignment.Dyslexicon wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 12:31 pmI don't think so, but I noticed other players having played with you and wondered if I had too.

Anyways, I was riding the high of the flip and I saw spfs and jjjs posts and my gut told me that they both just seem tonally towny to me in their first posts I saw so I trd them for it. Don’t have much more deeper insight for my original read unfortunately
this is partially a meta-based read - im working off of the assumption that illario's actions as a wolf are usually pretty strategic/calculated, whereas his opening posts in this game felt pretty recklessstaypositivefriend wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 5:30 pmthis could actually be a point in favor of illario being a villager, because i think as a wolf he would have a certain level of cautiousness about trying to pocket me/jagged. it's likely that he would want to do "towny" things to get into our good graces instead of just calling us town right out of the gate with no concern for how little reasoning he hadilario wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 12:38 pmNahhh I didn’t really extrapolate into why.

Regardless of that, I'd be pretty surprised to find Ilario scum here. He's been actively trying to find other town and seems excited about it. The way he's talking to me feels like town finding town, not buddying mafia, that would almost feel mean lol (maybe I'm naive about that in particular). In any case, unless he's cc'd why not just have him town imo. Not that he should necessarily be cc'd if he's lying =)falcon45ca wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 12:25 pmThese posts in particular are what I'm talking about, feels like Ilario is playin' a soft cuddly game
The part where he says “not buddying mafia , that would almost feel mean lol (maybe I'm naive about that in particular“
Is the moment where I townlocked dyslexicon into never rescind until lylo category
To explain why: I feel like both our trs on each other is more of an emotional read/matching of vibes as opposed to something tangible that’s happened in game. I normally love when I successfully pocket people as mafia for game related reasons but if I feel like someone’s read on me is based on an emotional level then I feel guilty about it if I’m mafia and they’re town. This is why you will almost never see me resort to using ate as mafia to convince people because I don’t feel good about playing that way. So when dyslexicon says that my approach would feel almost mean it really does match up with my own feelings about the game and it’s principles in general that I just can’t help but townlock him here
Honestly I wouldn’t even be mad if I end up wrong on this read because It’s been a while that I’ve trd someone strongly and ended up flat out wrong and feelings like that make the game worthy replaying so I don’t even mind if I’m wrong here.

I took a glance. But I believe you in that it's not strictly one way or the other as either alignment.

again, i think the underlying thought process behind your read on me is villagery: (ie: "SPF has been more chill in the recent towngames i've played with her > SPF was not as chill in this game > therefore SPF is a wolf") even if the read itself is based on an incorrect assumption
Indeed. Which is why this is my most burning unanswered question yet, though you laid out the whole reasoning.

I reread Lime's ISO a while back, and it reads to me like he's mafia in the beginning and town after a certain point. So that's cool. I'm not very interested in chopping him this day in any case, as it stands.staypositivefriend wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 5:48 pm i wanna note that i feel pretty confident about my ability to read lime coke. i do not have a confident answer on his alignment yet. last night, i was suspecting that he was a wolf that was trying to replicate his village-meta by TMI'ing sloonei as a villager & riding that read super hard. he has subverted those expectations by collecting a lot of very confident sounding townreads outside of sloonei, and i generally think his posting has gotten better with time even if something about his "vibe'" feels a little bit off to me. perhaps it's just the fact that we are on a different forum than the one we typically play on, and the atmosphere will be naturally different
i do think his posts on the last page or so are fairly villagery for him, and upon further reflection, i think it's kinda villagery that his reaction to jagged saying his vibes were off was: "i thought we were vibing!"
so, gth i think limecoke is a villager, but i don't fully feel it yet. i'll update when/if i do
I think it's not even that elaborate.
