    If you can get in someones mindset and think as they think, most likely this will be easier to do however you cannot be as emotionally invested into the game by doing it therefore not giving the same indicators of towniness some people here did.

    Some people are "apathetic", some "involved"... Why do you think I will play another way as mafia? I playing active and agressive with any role, it's just my playstyle.
    I "read" you wrong way not with some "emotions", I considered after "real" sheriff (he wasn't real) revealed, mafia can do the same after, so town will have 2 "no CC pair" with 50% chance of misslynch. It's based on mechanics and strat, not on emotions. If I were mafia, I would likely do this to team up with first "no CC pair", and if citizens will not attack each other and form up the team, target your pair as most likely mafia for them. There is no emotions in it.

    P.S. Noone still explained my emotions in this text. Because it's impossible. You can only guess.

    You could play the same potentially, except there are still ways to read if you are spewing lies or not, it just takes some getting used to and first hand experience to figure it out.

    As for the text you want to tell your emotions for: I can tell that you are trying to make a definitive point with what appears to be annoyance based on how you have written it.

    It may be "impossible" but I can take a fairly educated guess based on the context of the writing as to what it is meant to be. So yes, you can only guess, but you can get a fairly accurate read from it.

    Re : S-FM 304: Instant Mafia

    I guess it's really depending on the context and how the word/sentence that you formulate.
    Expressionless sentence such as "Noone can explain my emotions in this text" are hard to crack and discern.
    The more and more a player write, the easier it is to tackle down his/her speeches based on emotions that were sprinkled by that same player.
    I assume all of this is a matter of game amount and knowing well this specific player you want to understand.

    That's what I said before. "Reading" will probably works with well known players, you have played a lot of games before. For example, if XXX is playing like jester every game, but now staying calm and paying attention around, you can think he is some important role like mayor now.

    Or he is mafia.

    Or he is just tired of this playstyle, lol.

    You are confusing behavioral reading (which is normally called "reading someone"), based on criterias that will work for a majority of people, with metareading, which is exactly what you're talking about, and which should be treated with caution, like you're advocating for. You're not wrong, but others aren't either :P

    Re: S-FM 304: Instant Mafia

    I think problem with Zedus' defense is that he sees "reads" very vaguely. There are too many variables to the whole "reads" business and it would be really hard to explain how it works in this sense. It is far more in-depth than that.

    While reads will never give you 100% evidence, it provides enough analysis to form the great picture for you. This is how detectives work in real life. Mafia is a game where you interrogate people, hunt for leads, make analyses, find connections and links between each person. See how the behave and so on. Once you form enough basis to your theory then you bring them to the court. Saying "reads" is useless is like saying how interrogations are useless. Mafia is pretty much a detective simulator with each detective having different expertise. Some are doctors, some are just citizens, some are sheriff and some are EVIL but still a "detective".

    Maybe he needs a mentor on his next game because I believe he is missing the fundamental knowledge here. I mean, I don't claim to know everything either, I am still learning too and without a mentor I would be a far worse player.

    eh, Zedus is getting there. if you can believe that people need a similar mentality for you to be able to read them, it doesn’t take much to arrive at the conclusion that people ARE mostly more alike than they are different - thereby allowing you to read most people you encounter

    What I think zedus DOES need to work on is their aggression. It’s fine to display emotion and be angry at the town for fucking up and misplaying, just don’t take it to personal levels. it’s not fun being called a bonobovoter or a shittalker.

    Well, then they need some "ego" downleveling. Also wrong interpretation will help them with "reading"

    Re: S-FM 304: Instant Mafia

    Mafia is a social game if you talk to people from a position of arrogance chances are you will have a harder time connecting with people. To be effective town you literally have to connect with others to win so if you want to be a good town player I suggest trying to put out positive attitude. Saying people need to kill their ego in response to this is basically shooting yourself in the foot.
