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!!!

in light of N1ed not having actually claimed pr but rather just said some weird sh*t comparing himself to meat, I don't really townread him anymore but on thinking about it I don't wanna lynch him today because at least he gives readable material.

i don't really know (yet) who our best lynch for today is but rest assured i'll pick one.. it's probably one of the ispers

Um. Last game Shrub claimed PR with NO votes on him in the first few pages of the day? A few of you here should know he'd do something dumb like that. So, again. What's another reason as to why you are voting Shrub?


Ah okay. Also he clarified his role so unvote

Right anyhow..

town circle
ian (groundhogday) - I can't really explain the read I can just tell he's town. i think the point at which i realized he was town was when he plussed a certain post of mine. don't expect me to explain this read but i have my ways of knowing his alignment

gerry - his opener and the part where he was going to type something then didn't is probably not part of a forced towntell, so he's probably town.

people we're not lynching today
minecraftgirlftw - pretty sure she's gonna be bad at sustained fake towntelling so we'll learn her alignment eventually

shrub - his reads i cannot follow they make very little sense but he claimed non visiting pr so he gets to live for a while

Scummy :3


He spent an hour writing this one. I can't imagine a player naturally saying nothing for so long and then just posting this.




uh no thats not sarcasm

It's like none of you can tell I'm being sarcastic. Can't you tell by the tone of my voice? No I don't think that he sat here refreshing the page every 5 seconds for an hour meticulously reading every post like I do to only come up with "Scummy :3". The point is that he had an hour's worth of content to read and posted jack-turd in response to it.


I think you are trying really hard to help towns win condition and that's why I townread you but I also think you have no idea what you are talking about and your reasoning goes around in circles and you really need to stop talking.

Actually no I think he's straight up scum because if he claims blue then it doesn't add up and if he claims pr it doesn't add up

I think that Dorzel should claim

I considered this Shrub but it's not like he has to be online for him to later read the game
over 8 years
If he does claim pr it doesn't line up with him saying that he's not paying attention, that seems more like something that a blue would do, but if he were blue I think that his lines wouldn't seem so unnatural.

I feel like you are making the mistake of assuming everyone is online at all times ;)

I read up the role list for the last Forum Mafia and there was a Serial Killer :) So just gonna be vigilant.

Since by his own words he's not trying very hard it seems strange that he bothered to look up a previous game. To me it looks like he's trying harder than he would have you believe.


Dorzel says

You know we have 72 hours per day right... No need to rush



01:58
Instead of looking at what is there look at what's not. Dorzel didn't post for an hour and a half but had nothing to say despite the amount of content he should have read.


Dorzel says

Scummy :3

Dorzel says

Well if i am honest i have only read the last page of every time i have read and you might not wanna keep fosing me, between you and me that might backfire on you later on...



This a line that I need other people's feedback on. To me "between you and me that might backfire on you later on..." blatantly indicates that he's softclaiming pr. I can't imagine a blue posting this. Do you think that he was, as a blue,
warning me about how fossing him could bite me later? I think that he was preparing to claim pr with a line similar to "You can't fos me, I'm the pr!! Got you!!". It would be such a weird line to post as a blue that I think it was obviously a pr soft.

The times given show how long after Dorzel's first post they were made


Dorzel says

*U*
Good luck everyone :3


00:00
Pretty standard, but I'm posting all of his lines

Dorzel says

Quick question how do you do votes? :3



00:24
The question was alright but the lack of any real content after 24 minutes worth of material was a bit worrying. It's like he's not paying any attention to what's going on.

Dorzel says

Okay thank you



00:26

Dorzel says

If i was honest i am not reading everything but i saw N1ed say they were pr and why would you out that?


00:26
This was the main line that caught my eye. We can split it into two parts. Firstly, saying that you're "not reading everything" doesn't make sense because (as you may be aware)
we're playing forum mafia, so you can spend 5 minutes reading all of the posts (this was posted a few hours after the game began, there wasn't much to read up on). This makes this first part of the line seem unnatural to me.
The second part of the line is a real example of filler. The difference between my "filler" lines and this filler line is that this one has an ambiguous intentions behind it. Is he trying to find an angle to fos N1ed? Is he genuinely confused at why someone would claim? The truth is probably that there were no real intentions, he just wanted to pretend to be useful because he's painfully aware of how scummy he looks.


Dorzel says

The power of having a vote on you and you die, isn't really a power now is it... :P


00:26
Ok

Dorzel says

I think groundhog day saying we have about 4 mislynches is a bit weird especially since the setup is unknown.


00:27
Another ambiguous line. I think that the implications are clear though. Why would he not pursue this? Either Dorzel did find GHD's line scummy in which case he should have chased it up or he didn't in which case there was no reason to post this line

I think some of the ISP players should at least talk once in this game. Mori did this last time too..

Nah Sonia, I think you're town, I don't want people to start fossing you, I want people to stop fossing me. If they see that the post that they're using to attack me is similar to yours they they might stop trying to use it.

So are you gonna keep trying to shift the blame off someone else I was just quoting your filler lines I never said that wasn't filler

Maybe I'll have a go at outlining every bad Dorzel line in an attempt to annihilate him.

While I was writing that long post I remembered more reasons for fossing Dorzel and now I fos him again
