1. Content
2. Behaviour
3. Activity
4. Contributions
Chele
Chele has some of the best content I have seen for a new player on here (experience elsewhere and prior research plays a number in that) in a while and I must say that it is excellent to see. She is presenting new or enhanced ideas and looks in depth on each player before making judgements, meaning she has a clear head and is certainly not easily swayed which I appreciate. (something I may or may not lack, lol rip me) Her posts are definitely helpful and informative which to me is nothing short of town play as she is boosting and helping us look at different perspectives or the same perspectives with better points. The only bad thing about Chele is that we don't get to see enough of her at the right times, however when she is online she is certainly trying her best and having a difficult time zone is terrible. (I feel you) I haven't picked up on any kind of behaviour which is alignment indicative, I can tell that she is confident and collected which could easily be applied to mafia or town, so she is neutral in terms of behaviour. She has made 8 posts so far and most of them are clearly full of effort, making posts that are full of quality is more important that posting a bunch of trash. Take notes Nightmares, Dedenne and Punchy.
Ness
I'm a little disappointed in Ness' content so far because most of it is fighting Nightmares, this is town indicative to me however as he has a history of flip-flopping his playstyle, one minute he's trying his best to produce constructive content and the next he is fighting with a bunch of immature folk. Ness focus on the former please. I do like that he was trying to end the plethora of stupid/unhelpful/unnecessary posts which half of the playerlist were making but you would never run in to a bull elephant; you would walk away from him, so do the same here lemon. The main post which to me is his best contribution would be his reads list, I specifically like the points he made against Dolby which is how I have interpreted him thus far and I will dive into that in this post. Yeah his behaviour so far is townie Ness, smug/sassy and somewhat aggressive. I have already said that I'm a little annoyed by some of his posts but I can see that getting better now as the chaos has subdued, thankfully.
Evan
I like how he came in and gave his input on things despite forgetting that he was in the game, what I find interesting about him so far is his scum reads, all three players are either new or below average in mafia which makes for an unbalanced game. So that is my only problem with him, his behaviour is reflective of town Evan but we just need to wait for somebody to call him scum and then he will scream at them which is a huge indicator of town Evan. His contributions and activity is nothing to write home about as he forgot the game and hasn't had time to express his full thoughts I suppose. Need more from Evan but from what I've seen so far, I think he is likely town.
Nightmares
It's common knowledge at this point that this is how she plays as town: her content is garbage, her contributions are garbage, her behaviour is garbage and her activity is good. If she actually tried she could honestly be average at this game and she has done nothing to boost/help town her. It's clear to me at least that she joins these games for the drama and if nobody else can see that then wee woo. Scum making this much of a scene is hard to fathom, she played very carefully when she was scum and this doesn't seem careful at all.
She blows the whole structured reads thing out of the park because it's hard to have good reads on someone when they have done NOTHING to advance us in the game.
Dedenne
Has literally done nothing but contribute to that wave of useless posts which clogged up the thread for people who needed to catch up. Her reads list prove that she has been reading up all along but decided not to contribute anything meaningful during that time. Her tone is genuine but seeing as she is a new player it's easier to fake.
Seroja
Waiting for posts from you boo.
Sorry didn't mean it boo. I'm reading your reads list now. Honestly I'm so glad I signed up for this game cos it has so much quality content I'm crying. My fav new player is hands down Punchy :hearteyes:
I will need to reread the thread again and try to set aside bull**** from actual content. With so much **** posting it's hard to discern who's genuinely crapping and who's trying to blend in, but I do have a few ideas.
To answer the rqs:
Timezone is gmt +8, she he
Hmm I usually go by meta and tone? And process of elimination.
Im most concerned for Zendel, Toads and Evan. I've been fooled a lot until the last minute by these fellas.
Scorpio and ssssnake
This post made me laugh btw, when I was reading though the thread again.
Toadsworthy
> Started off the game with the RQS, started conversation.
> Is being nice to me, I dislike when people are nice to me or "understand" me because it's manipulative and I'm not for it.
> Posted quite a bit and generally active, not many posts have much substance and have little to offer imo. (Sorry Toad)
> Many posts look like attempts to look like he is being helpful but they may be genuine.
I don't know how I feel about Toad and something just feels off but I can't put my finger on it.
Punchy
Bullet points for this one.
> Lack of real content
> Really active but isn't contributing to advance us in the game which in all honesty is ruining the game.
> This supposed town slip and claim which confirms him because Dolby doubts that there are any safe claims, which is a bold statement.
> His earlier posts seemed robotic but later progressed into how he played in the micro game.
> Peculiar statements put further doubt into my mind that he is town.
Bianca
Another bullet point one.
> Random vote on Ness which is a dumb inside joke which is old and needs to stop.
> The first thing Bianca felt the need to talk about was how people were spelling my name wrong, throws suspicions on punchy and nightmares, then leaves for a few hours.
> Comes back and implies that she WANTS to be lynched, wtf.
> Acting like she is on something.
> Hasn't helped town.
> Hasn't posted around 100 posts by now which is worrying.
> Seems like she is bored of the game and never wanted to play in the first place.
She is either a third party or scum, wanting to be lynched is indicative of the jester but it could also be a way to scare us from lynching her. I was tempted to put her in the confusing or concerning section but I cant help but think she is scum.
Dolby
> Put the idea of "no safe claims" out there to possibly sway attention of Punchy, possible team.
> He is just there, which is not how he plays at all.
> Flip-flopping around, called Nightmares sus because of another game but back tracks and says:
Honestly, except for the random vote, this is how Nightmares acts as town, so idc about my sus anymore
He does the same with Punchy:
15 minutes later...
Actually gonna retract this, he did the same thing with Waffles last game
> Tone change.
> Implies he was trying when it doesn't really seem like he was.
> Lack of substantial posts, the only one being his reads and that "safe claim" thing. Sub par honestly.
> I think he is severely bored of the game and wants out. Not scummy but I just feel bad if that is the case.
As always, please don't hurt me if these are bad. I'm bad at mafia (really bad, like omg). lol

Btw I kinda gave up on that read structure thing because writing so much when I could be doing other things is very tedious.

I apologize if I offended anyone, having to read through this trash again is..........ugh.
