I'm feeling similarly about YS as I am Vinnie. I don't see a very noticeable change from the previous game, where he was a Townie. I don't think he's getting coached and don't think he's worth our votes at this point.

For those who are talking about coaching: what would you tell an inexperienced player who had been in the last game as town to do?

If it's someone like YS/Vinnie/Racer: Don't read the maf chat during the day and post a lot. lol

Someone more experienced I wouldn't bother trying to coach.

Racer just had to post more solid info about his leans, from there I can judge wherever he's suspecting one of his buddies or not, making him look scummy.

I honestly think they're fooling around about last game, though TYG was serious and I don't trust it much that he jumps on him. Dan is slightly town lean.

As Orange managed to post more, despite the joke posts, I think he's an inexperienced townie.

Zarkov has a higher chance to be maf than town.

Sam seems to be frustrated as a townie, but I don't know why he would play the game if he barely posts in here?

Crap I forgot to say @TvK

This is such a poor reason for not being active. You realize that with the exception of the Cop, everyone started on the same footing? It doesn't matter that you're vanilla or a power role, no one has done anything special thus far.

I take this with a grain of salt, because he could just be trying to act oblivious in order to get this exact reaction.

I gotta go. I won’t be around for EoD… good luck guys.

Shock where do you get that I haven't explained my reasoning on my leans? I've done that multiple times. Plus Sam wasn't the leading lunch when I went on him. And I stand by my opinion. I just feel you're finding fault with me and letting others slip by. Lafungo is one of your leans, but because he hasn't been around it's like you've just let him off.

Plus I've said earlier that's not how I play. There are others who do the same. I don't have oodles of free time to dig through every single thing.

Anyway, im not gonna be around until after eod as I'm heading to the pub for some BEERS.

I think Darius is experienced enough that if he were scum he wouldn't need any "advice" coaching his partners. The question's kind of useful because it shows who's willing to do the thought experiment and after people flip this could be another point of information we can use to our benefit. But I see your point as well. Your careful thinking about what to post and potentially tell mafia gives you a slight town lean from me I guess, but the biggest teller is going to be your scumhunting and I'll definitely be re-reading this thread N1 and spending some time reading over your posts again.

As of right now, I'm fine with the following lynches (in this order): Racer, Sam, Yoshistar, Orange.

I've made my point clear on Racer. I can't see him posting as he has as town.

Sam has reasonable odds of being mafia, and if he's not then he's useless to town by his own admission (doesn't care about the game because he's vanilla).

I dig TvK's post on Yoshistar and am willing to lynch him based on that. Not that I need much convincing to lynch Yoshistar given how poorly he plays.

I wanted to lynch Orange immediately upon reading this

as well as the following posts. But eventually he got somewhat better, and it seems like he might do something of use later. I also have trouble seeing him as maf despite the awfulness of his posts, so I'd only lynch him now if the other three aren't an option.

No. I don't buy it. Someone truly town would post more in order to help the town win by not looking scummy. A Mafia would post little in order to not mess up their image. You haven't really posted anything with substance and your excuse is you don't like your role? I don't buy this. If anything you are a vanilla Mafia trying to look town by posting little until the heat is extreme. Town members will try to prove their innocence by scum hunting. And I don't feel like you have done all you can. Noob or no noob, I net you would do better if you were town.

That being said, you played like this last game, and so I don't know what to think. If you end up town, I'll look pretty bad because I was pushing you hard.

Let me explain. Zarkov is a strong player at this game, he pushes hard and questions what he sees. When he's town he can be a nightmare. I haven't seen that this game. Sure, he's scum hunted when the heat is applied, but I expect him to scum hunt no matter what if he were town. Something fishy is going on with him, and I don't think it's because he went to a sushi bar.
