I like conversative mafia and research mafia. I do enjoy a good study of what has happened more than trying to feel things out. I am not the best judge of character when all I have to work with is joke posts and intro posts.
I try to guess alot and rely on instincts in early phases. and that becomes a problem as those instincts shift and become very wild and theoretical. I get paranoid about power scum players hijacking the narratives and forcing them a direction.

My last game was several months ago and it was a no flip on another site. I was a role that helped reveal one of towns PRs had died but I was so inactive in the game I got miskilled anyway and never really was able to do much.

ask me anything you want. I talk alot. so dont ask me more than the game needs to know
In one hundred words or fewer, what do you believe you learned in your most recent game on the other site you mentioned and also in your most recent game here?

Depends on who you ask. Some people would tell you I am quite charismatic. Others might tell you I have all the charm of a cockroach.

I learned that I hate setups with no flips
I am really worthless with no data to look at.

I dont recall my most recent game here very well but I want to say town won? I was a PR and I died day one but then some crazy stuff went down in the scum team with drama and the thread had alot of fights.

I think I understand what you're trying to say, but while the odds of a fakeclaim of a dice roll are likely to center on 1, 2, 5, 8-12, 15, and 20, I did actually do it (and yes I do hope you find amusement in the fact that those values do represent 45% of all possible d20 rolls).
