Sample Role PM:

Welcome to Forum Mafia 17, Matt.

Your role is Vanilla Townie, sided with the town.

Your only power in this game is your voice and your vote. Good luck.

You win when all threats to the town are eliminated.


Scumhunt your heart this game out if you're town or towntell like none other if you're not, because the player that Jeff and I feel plays the best game will receive a 20 token prize!!!

I can't even remember why I fossed Shrub tbh. Maybe I should reconsider at some point.


Yeah I used to have the feeling of "these reads are just so arbitrary and he's so insistent about them for no reason so they must be made up and he's trying to play the stubborn town who deathtunnels their fos"

But upon his continued posting I get a distinct feeling that it's really important to him that he ends up being right .. like I can feel the dissonance gushing out of him.

Shrub has successfully transitioned his pride onto the idea of just lynching me rather than having good reads. Good job Shrub, picking battles you can win.

I only asked you if you had other reads as a transition into our duel.

I don't care if he townreads me. Honestly I'd prefer to be SCUMREAD by him. Also Arcbell, note how despite what you may think I have been outing reads outside of you throughout the whole game.

Looks like Shrub has proven themselves to be very useless, no matter their alignment.

Shrub can you stop responding to yoyo's well thought out posts with "no" and like that? I'm getting the empathic feelings for him.

Yeah I hate that too.

Shrub says

I kinda want to lynch Gerry..


Have a go at explaining this. Please don't reply to this line with some trite comment or blatant deflection comment. Have a go at making your first quality post. For guidelines on making quality posts see: my posts.

You may get me lynched at some point (not today) if you're some pr that's hard to kill like a bulletproof or bomb. At that point you'll probably try to tell yourself you just wanted me lynched because you dislike me, not because you fos'd me, and that'll become your reality because you can't stand the idea that you were wrong about this AND I beat you at the townread duel (which I will even if you play but your stupid rules which force me to use ian instead of you)


Well I won't deny it would be to do with how frustrated you are getting being funny and being lynched by someone who is "demented" would be a cherry

Oh yeah it was because you claimed blue for no reason early on in all caps and then claimed pr and somehow managed to convey that you had your tail between your legs through text. This seemed very inconsistent. Your fos on Arcbell was completely out of the blue and may have had bad intentions behind it because of its lack of specific reasoning. You had a seemingly unnatural low number of interactions with Dorzel, who I scumread. Your townread's reasoning on me seems a bit strange which may indicate that one of your partners is on the bw for me and this is you trying your best to stay off of the wagon. A number of very basic tells in the world of forum mafia, but they may still apply here considering your inexperience.

On the other hand the way that you post your awful lines seems quite natural despite the overall content being difficult to swallow. By that I mean that when I read posts I write them on small pieces of paper and then eat them. It helps me gain a deeper understanding of the game. Anyway you do have some merit. Maybe if you correct a few things and start playing more intelligently I'll move your name from my list of fosses.

I just have a need to get you lynched at some point now.


Yeah because you're flippin' demented.

Thats cheating tho. our individual ability to towntell shouldnt count for anything. Your list does not include me otherwise you have only given 5 townreads.


You're not towntelling through any merit of your own you're towntelling by being a stubborn idiot and feeling the need to be right about something you're wrong about and posting more to convince yourself that you haven't sh*t the bed than anything else.

You didnt have a reason just like you havent had a reason for anything you have been saying. You randomly outed reads 20 minutes into the game and have for some reason stuck by them
