Fol is more based around reads and interactions then night actions.
A lot of his posts from RM3 at Day 1 seem pretty useless
And then he started using a bunch of ISOs
Ah. I mean my class isn’t very important, I would claim it D1 in ToL TBH. That’s why I asked
FoL is not a mechanically dominant game like ToL. It’s forum mafia, and like all other forum mafia games, it is post analysis and social deduction dominant. Scum have powers here that they never could have in ToL, but with the right analysis, BD may also find scum on day 1.
It’s a much more methodical and analytical experience. It always is.
I’m going to be honest, I trust you all, but it’s still really weird to me just how different the attitude towards information is here compared to there.
you never want to give information to scum when you can avoid it.
i’m not the best at explaining why it’s bad to give information here unlike ToL
a more seasoned veteran could probably give a better explanation
Why do people townread this?
I see copious amounts of shade and weak analysis to go with it.
likely laziness
and also because he is the king
which in it of itself adds its own element
I don’t really know how to describe it well enough, but basically you can see the effect of claiming early in SFoL 48
i hadn’t iso’d him yet. if i had seen THAT iso, my town read of him would have gone out the window.
Still in a pathfinder session.

You can’t mechanically confirm players nearly as easily
Claiming just makes the Prince hunt significantly easier for scum
You’re probably right and I’m probably overthinking everything.
I wouldn’t solidify a TR on Kape by this point though due to the excessive shade.
I’m realizing that town Dat is usually more active and slightly less fluff compared to scum Dat.
Here are my thoughts so far. I still don’t want to tunnel, so I will hold my perceptions lightly, but this is just what I see for now:
Top BD reads: Maxwell & Htm
Top Scum reads: Kape & Derp
Maxwell is being helpful and trying to push discussion out into the chat. Reads very BD to me. I don’t think scum would draw this much attention to themselves. I could be underestimating Max, he might be the best FoL player ever, but otherwise I seriously do trust him. He does seem quick to push suspicion on others, but I do think he is just BD trying to figure out who is scum and doesn’t have any ill intent with it.
Htm is using ISOs and trying to figure out who is saying meaningless things that aren’t helpful toward BD, which I think is useful in determining who is evil. They don’t talk that much, but they weren’t all that talkative in the last FoL match that I partially read and they were GK. I do think they are trying to deduce with BD genuinely.
Derp has said nothing to try to help deduce. They are a new FoL player, but still, if they were BD don’t you think they would at least try to make an effort?
Kape is talking less than usual(?) according to Arete, and he is also pushing suspicion on me when he knows that I am new.
