Did you think that fext slipped and revealed that they were in a chat?
It's highly possible that they slipped up and potentially revealed a chat existing, not every game is going to have escorts/lovers/neighbors/insert other roles with chat benefits here. How I see it, the general player wouldn't want to leak such a thing until later on in the game. Revealing a potential chat existing within the first few hours of the game is interesting at the very least.

If Yes: Did you think it was possible that the chat they were in was the mafia chat? If you didn't, why didn't you?
There's always a chance. They are suffering from bad timing. I say this because they just recently joined the forums, and have now been fidgeting in their responses since the game began. From my point of view despite what they say in terms of their experience with mafia-esque games, the fact that they are being super defensive about me simply making a jab at a potential slip-up tells me they are trying to play it off as "I didn't reveal anything, you are the one making a bigger issue about all of this" to save their tail. It's why for now, they have my attention because they could have prevented saying this in the first place.

There's also the chance this can be a mafia role but there's not enough evidence for me to determine where they lean. All I said was that they have a chat and moved on. It's not my fault they want to be defensive about it to the point they then singled out both me and Killjoy for "having unfair assessments" without going into further detail except feeling like they are being targeted or looked into for what they said.

If you did, why didn't you vote for them?
As stated in my previous post, this was during the time of RVS and at the time I decided to go with Light because they are the last person in a previous game I had a strong connection/interaction with regardless of the outcome so it was more so a "Oh I know this person. Funny RVS moment."

Geez, how many people saying I haven't contributed much yet when it's been less than 24 hours. Lol.

I've read through stuff but can't be bothered to go back and check who said what on mobile right now. But someone (I believe Chevy) said I had only tried to figure out the setup so far which isn't exactly correct. I pointed out the lack of claim restrictions (which tbh, I probably don't do as scum and hope people don't notice it for a long time because scum doesn't want to get figured out by a claim fest), and I clarified why there would be lack of dead chat. Not exactly setup solving since I wasn't trying to figure things out, just explaining things.

Someone else (think it was Fext or Seanzie) asked why I would die n1 if I didn't talk much. That's not how it works with me. I could say nothing d1 and be nk'd because I'm considered a good player. I get nk'd n1 a lot. One player has even said if scum wants to win they should kill me n1. This isn't bragging, this is just how things go. Though Ex's question was a partial joke and my response a partial joke, it's very much rooted in reality.


I'm liking Fext. He seems like a townlean to me. He's playing kinda risky if scum, but smart if town.

I don't think you can call his "Pen gave me a chat" post a slip up. It was clearly intentional in some way. Especially considering it was a post by itself, not replying to any question or hidden in other info. To focus on it as a slip up is kind of odd. So Fig is pinging me a bit from that.

I just woke up from a nap so I'll give more thoughts when I'm functioning better.

I think Fig’s self-description of his position makes sense, and if he were scum who knows Fext is town, then I think it’d make perfect sense for him to just vote for Fext instead of only casting suspicion. That said, the way he phrased it in his original post was odd, mainly his saying that “I love the slip,” which seems to imply that he thought it was a scum slip:
Since it's October, that's means it's early voting season. I love the slip up from Fext admitting they have an external chat assuming I read all the posts correctly.

Vote: Exlight

Fig thinks that fext's post is indictive of fext being involved in an out of game chat
of players involved in out of game chats, statistically, most are mafia
therefor fig should think that fext is mafia

fig did not seem to think this however, which would suggest that despite fig thinking that fext is involved in an out of game chat, fig did not think that fext was mafia. The most natural explanation for this is that fig themselves is mafia.

There is no feasible reason (that i can think of) that a town fig wouldn't vote for fex in that situation, having caught them in a slip. Fig's last post seems to be insinuating that the reason they didn't was because "they could be mafia but they could also be a neighbour or something" but it seems clear to me that at worst this kind of slip should still be strongly telling, and so i find it hard to swallow.

Scum fig on the other hand could have avoided voting for fext for a variety of reasons. Given their original post, the most intuitive to me would be that they were hoping to either prod fext into volunteering more information about their role or that they were hoping someone else would jump on fext and thus allow for a fext lynch while allowing fig more room to backpedal after the fact.

I'm rescinding my townlean on Fig. Originally I thought their first post about Fext was a non-chalant "gotcha!", but apparently that isn't the case, so uhh... what? Especially considering that Fig seemed to start to go after Fext after that...
 
I'm leaning towards the Fig being scum argument. I definitely found it odd how he had Fext as his top suspicion and voted for ExLight instead. I feel that he's been backpedaling recently by just calling it interesting nowadays.

Unvote

Vote: Fig


By that logic, I have Rag as town as they are making the best argument against Fig so far.

The only other player I have thoughts on right now is ExLight who seems townie to me but it's mostly a vibes thing right now.

Not only that, but he backed off a bit when I got a bit hard while I started hounding Fext for info

Just because someone has a chat, doesn't mean it's guaranteed mafia even if the likelihood it is a mafia is there. I just explained it to you, I need more context. All I said was "I love the slip-up" but people are now thinking I'm mafia just because I'm pointing it out.
Moreso, it's limited to think that I have to immediately vote for someone because I have the slightest suspicion on them.

Honestly, you either must have me blocked or you're not reading my posts. Ex-Light was my choice of voting because of both RVS and having a strong interaction with them last game. All I said was that it's interesting that we have this piece of information to work with given that this is a potential out by Fext. Loving how you claiming that there is no "feasible reason" as if it's only black and white. Either you are going to seek for information or you don't, I prefer it when town is informed as much as possible as soon as possible. Right now you are just throwing me in a bandwagon that doesn't make any sense just because I'm not "committing" to vote for Fext when there's no proof that they are mafia. Unless you have proof that they are mafia, please let me know. Otherwise you are just throwing me under the bus just because I don't fit your "only feasible reasons".
