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!!!

Pony I only hard SCUMREAD Gerry if he was claiming blue due to his ridiculous pr softs. I too like the way he has handled my pressure. I think he is town.

However pony, I think you are Mafia. I think you have played well, but bad luck


Well sorry to break the news, I'm not maf, I'm trying to prove it to you guys, what more can I do for you to prove it?

me ISPing a lot? you're joking right? i've been around literally all day today except when i was asleep. i've scumread pap pretty much since he came in bc i didn't feel like he was towntelling that well. he made a lot of detailed reads but i just don't agree with them and don't feel like they're that great. for you, eh, it's more of an ISP thing, i tred you when you came in it's just kind of groundhog that i feel more concerned about. and at this point none of your reads are very good.


Well you're lines aren't good, isp probably isn't the right word, what I get from your lines is mainly filler, now, tell me how you're town, cause scumreading pap all game isn't indicative of if you're town or not. Pap is right there with you in my reads, it's not like he's my solid tr, and I know my reads are bad, but in that I kinda adress stuff with everyone, I give you guys something to read me by, it's my attempt at trying, I'm sorry I'm trying to help town here, cause groundhog did not do a good job at that, I'm just trying to make this a town win for once, my bad for doing stuff here.



I want to lynch izzy today, and that is that.

I actually wonder what other PR maf roles there are. I mean, it's actually possible that Mori could be Mafia Watcher. "Town Tracker, Mafia Watcher" Could go together. But, I still town read her.


You mean mafia would have a role cop AND a watcher, and town only a tracker? That's too maf sided. Also, like I said, my lack of reports makes me too useless to be claiming watcher as mafia. I would at least fake a report, and if this was MYLO I would be outing a guilty.

i'm good with either a pap/pony lynch today but i wish both of them were actually on and could make a case for themselves so we know if it's the right choice instead of going for the ISP lynch again


I know it's not just you, but I'm not liking this whole pap/pony thing, like it just makes me want to tr pap a bit more cause like, if we're both town.. you guys would lynch one of us assuming the other would be maf 100% idk I'm just noticing everyone's sudden change of reads.. it's weird, izzy, and izzy only, please explain why you want a me/pap lynch.

izzy says

i'm just worrying about lynching an ISP again, i mean pap has participated but.... idk i definitely get the same scummy feel but i'm nervous


Umm from what I can tell, you’ve been ISPing a lot, I do not see how you are tred by a bunch of people? I notice some seem to be dropping their stronger tr on you, but idk, you aren’t doing anything, you seem a lot like miecraft with the whole read thing. Can you just tell me why you’re town? I’ll try a different approach to get my read on you.

Minecraftfangirlftw: What made you become all of a sudden so worried?

Minecraftfangirlftw says

ok so im worried that we are in possible mylo if we have 3 mafia


because the day before it seems you were joking around by saying “HAMMER TIME” the first quote is like this huge difference in your playstyle? Come on, you were one of my solid trs, don’t make me doubt myself And then…

Minecraftfangirlftw says


Shrub says

i found them. Pap and Gerry are the lynches. Vote.


hey why are u rushing things we can talk more and get more reads and plus the day has barely started


And then 6 minutes later you vote Gerry? All you keep doing is quoting stuff from other games, what roles do, idk, you’re starting to just be less towny, that may change though, but for me it’s hard cause from what I’ve seen you don’t come up with reads on your own, you just tr everyone and sheep them, maybe at the beginning you had original reads? But I’m just not seeing that from you, going forward, I would love to see you start trying to get your reads across, make actual trs, with reasons behind them, instead of tring everyone.

So im still rereading but im pretty sure the people who are here since i see like 4 of you want me to claim so im vanilla townie and it makes me happy to see people doing the strategy now i would have rather done it yesterday still. I am also surprised both shrub and gerry for kinda claiming they didn't know about what the body guard does with role visits. I am still here though im on page 132


This line from you is actually pretty decent, like, I understand you have work and stuff, just it would be lovely if you could start doing stuff that’ll say your alignment a little more, like, I’m really on the fence with this whole town or maf thing, please, tell me why you’re town. Like from how you and izzy have talked I could see you 2 being partners, but once I feel better about my reads, I’ll start trying to find teams.

Gerry: I like how you’ve been handling shrub just pushing on you the whole time, like you’ve just kinda ignored him, then answered his questions like annoyed town, I’m glad I basically pulled the lynch off you cause I think you are in fact town, and judging how you had 3 votes on you at the very beginning of the day, and people are still pushing on you, it is probably maf just trying to get the “easy lynch” cause yesterday it was as if lonerism/you were the lynches, and to some people, it just didn’t matter the order, well, in fact most people, cause I know as soon as I said something about getting lonerism instead, I immediately got the support andI was sheeped, makinging me feel like I should have read more in depth into the game to see lonerism’s other lines, cause from what I saw, they were scummy af…. Anyways, I believe your claim, which also means you’re town, soo yeah.

Shrub: I mean, there is no reason to bus like all of your maf partners, I mean, unless you wanted to fly solo, but that’d be up to you.. I’m just wondering why though, after all game of tunneling Gerry, now you decide that maybe he isn’t maf? What made you suddenly change your mind? Ehh I don’t have much to say, so just don’t act super scummy and we’re good.
over 8 years
Ok, I obviously did something wrong with my reads the first time, like, lonerism was really scummy, and they did nothing for town, then my next sr is the vig, I think these reads are better, the order of them is ehh but as of now I think izzy is the scummiest, feel free to prove me otherwise, remember my reads are still a rough draft…
Dorzel: Well you’re the confirmed clear, so obviously you’re not maf… just stop calling everyone maf.. please. Like just give a decent reason behind it, it doesn’t even have to be long, it would just give me an idea about my reads, cause I guarantee you these aren’t 100% accurate.
Mori:

Mori says

PonyLove can towntell but what I am scumreading are her actions and her decisions (for example, wanting to vote outside of Gerry for a reason that isn't game-related but because she was having fun with the way he was arguing with Shrub)


No, wanting to vote outside Gerry wasn’t all that, it was mostly the fact that we could go back and read gerry’s lines, and look for interactions and stuff, such as Shrub has been putting constant pressure on him for most of the game, and like Gerry has done well handling it, but also shrub became uncertain once he realized if we lynched Gerry and Gerry was town, chances are shrub was next, so I’m mainly letting shrub deal with Gerry, and from what I can tell it’s working. (I have no clue if that made sense? I think it does) Mori is most likely real watcher, I don’t see why there’s much doubt there, mori was quite towny yesterday, and she’s not really putting doubt in my mind she’s watcher.

I think pony love is Mafia due to Gerry towntelling.

I read GHD and Gerry as different roles, and I guess I stand by it,

Gerry says

I think there could be a Mafia Sided Ninja. Would make a lot of sense with town Tracker and Watcher.


thats why i quoted the role from last forum mafs role list thingy it was cause i thought it was possible
over 8 years
town sided tracker and mafia sided watcher sounds believable but town sided watcher and tracker are also believable
