    I haven't seen MP7 post at all so just voted them. She/her

    Having a role. I mean loyal servant is great and everything, but in Avalon the most fun part of being loyal of servant is trying to figure out who Merlin is (or Percival) and then emulate them so the assassin chooses you as Merlin at the end. Without a Merlin, being a loyal servant is less fun.

    Cool. What made you want to vote someone who hasn't posted?

    See if they respond/get involved--it's not like we're anywhere near end of day

    But yeah, I guess it would be nicer to ask them a question or something. @MPlus7 who is most suspicious to you? How is life going?

    Cool. What about the reverse? If you were scum right now, what would you miss about being town?

    Nothing really for non-specific role town. I mean I guess I would miss the freedom of not having to overthink anything?

    Why, what do you miss about not being town?

    I'd miss the actual hunt, coming together with other town to figure out the game.

    I know some people feel like they really have to think things through before posting as town, especially whem they're new. Sounds like you don't feel that way?

    I mean, as I think Keldeo pointed out, I'm not exactly lobbing accusations around. Def feel it's my responsibility not to early overcommit to persecuting one person based on a weak read and my first game I worried so much about not posting wrong/trying to identify objective patterns that I didn't really post much at all. This game, I'm just trying to get a gut read

    Like I said, that there aren't any good guy roles means there's no information for me to protect

    dude, every time, why do you hate English?

    Also this is a contradiction of sorts - is he forcing things or is he being passive about pushes?

    Actually, how are you defining a push?
    When I brought up your deviation from play earlier, you focused on the "in regards to tom" part, but I was also speaking generally: If anything, I notice you're being more assertive out of the gate in comparison to MCU and <currently ongoing game> - is this normal for you?

    I do not miss being ninja'd.
    Also, kinda wish posts didn't automerge? And that it counted? Imagine what my post count would be if not for it.

    What do you feel like you have to overthink as mafia? I personally feel like I overthink more as town but I know a lot of mafia overthinkers who worry about different things.

    I've never been mafia in an online game before, but I think I would probably overthink interactions with different people especially since there would be a separate chat. Like should I ignore my scum team or should I buddy up to them or should I cast accusations at them to distance myself

    Why do you overthink as town in this specific set up? Like what is the source of your self-consciousness in a sense?

    So your idea here is that mafia can't be caught (via analysis?) D1?
    ftr, that is not really a tom measure you should be following.

    Not necessarily, you can press on things we take for granted and don't think about.
    And outside of DLP?

    Ha.
    Say sike right now.

    fonti, why do you think Umami's town?

    If she really is more self-conscious as mafia, I feel like her somewhat off-the-cuff posting style so far doesn't mesh with that, but it's a bit early, no interactions have really had stakes yet.

    I like to be right, but it's easy to be wrong.

    Grape, I'm rusty, not stupid, I'm quite aware tom is capable of making that play from either alignment. But as I saw it the same way, I'm inclined to look at it favorably for now.

    You realize it was Sloth, TerRaine & Gemma, not Fonti right?

    Font's filthy scum.
    I'll make up a believable reason why later.

    Yeah, I get being more cautious with accusations, but in terms of actual posting/being cautious about how your word stuff, etc. why would you be more self-conscious as town?

    Thinking about it.

    Too early for Gemma thoughts?
