Arcbell I'm not sure but I don't think that the mafia can communicate while the day is going on.

do we even know how many mafia there are


Here's one person I'm 100% not voting today. She doesn't feel like she's dumbtelling at all.

Mori says

I'd say I don't understand how you TR N1'd but I TR'd him last game so I have no right to say anything.


this is what i was referencing. im pretty sure this reads as "i town read him as mafia last game so i cant blame you for town reading him as mafia this game"

but yeah thats okay, i hope you can see the difference in this game and the other game because it feels 10000000% different

Okay. Maybe this will manage to change my mind, but after reading everything, this is, in my opinion, the best vote.

Vote: yoyo

N1ed says

i havent taken the time to read into moris content because now theres more of it but i feel like youre assuming that im mafia, but also that every time i get town read its like you in fm 16 and that it cant be trusted

idk i mean you cant assume that whatever happens in someones scum game is to automatically happen in their town games too, in fact if you look at older games the same exact thing that happened with reads on me and i feel like that could be alignment indicative

idk i got a good vibe from all the just now mori content so let me see what i think after a more thorough read


Eh, actually, I never assumed that you're mafia. I just said that I don't TR you. If you read, I said I wanted to vote in Yoyo and Third.

I also feel this amount of uncertainty and hesitation is towny. If mafia was this nervous, I don't think they'd admit it so openly.


thats quite LITERALLY what i did in forum mafia 16 to make you town read me, but its definitely consistent with what you believe so i mean town points
deletedover 8 years
okay just a second

so mori's content right there was towny and i dont know how well she can integrate her scum game but im gonna take that as a legitimate desire to find scum, kind of like what i saw with sonia.

also, i ask again, can someone please explain this read on mine. i get it, shes a mess and she cant do that as scum, but i feel like thats a bit too easy to just let off and that might screw us over in endgame (the other person able to do that being groundhogday). so yeah, can i get some really good, quality reasons or is it too early and were just gonna give mine a pass to victory for her d1 (lol salt)

Gerry says

I'd vote lonerism on the sole reason they fos izzy which is now my biggest townread. But, I stil think groundhogday is the mafia here. But, if people will vote lonerism, I'll flip


That's what I was thinking too, but I didn't want to say it in fear that they'd say that I was wrong for doing that too, since apparently everything I do is wrong. :) But I'm gonna stay on Third.

groundhogday says

is it good that i want to vote both gerry and the guy gerry's voting since all he does is bus

it seems like the kind of thing you decide to say before you know your role

Arcbell says

Also Ian what do you think of Mori? I strongly scumread her for her opening because it just seems like something she'd do as scum: fly in and read people and give good reads on little subtle things that normally you wouldn't read into but since she knows who's mafia she's able to see the writing on the wall.

I don't expect anyone else to follow along with my read here though because I know it's a feelsy one. If anyone is gonna I'd say it'd be you.

So whaddaya think?


This is just how I read. I overanalyze stuff. I understand why you'd scumread it, though, but I tend to look at the little stuff and because of it I usually miss the bigger picture. This happens in normal mafia a lot.

Dorzel says

I got a theory that i kinda just wanna toss out here firstly,
Since i am utterly hopeless at this and since mafia know each other i have a feeling i am gonna get targeted with buddys/tunnels. Anyways though i think the fact people who don't know me very well are saying i am scummy is good scumhunting. I don't know why i am so scummy, maybe because i am laid back but hey whatever people say goes i guess.


i townread this

i feel accomplished i did something guys


I was going to quote the same thing and then saw you quoted it already. I think Dorzel is kinda towny, I don't know if he can fake this as mafia.


i think it's incredibly not telling of his alignment
