Cruward_Darkeyes: just posting cos the rules post said post every 36 hours im new i don't know how to tell who Mafia are and i cant ask for help cos what if i get help from Mafia? i feel i may have a problem here
Its never easy at the start - just keep reading the threads, pick up on what other people say, look at their logic for saying it. None of us know who the Mafia are at the moment, its only supposition and (mostly) shaky logic.
Take an overview - people are giving Rod grief for coming out with info at this early stage. Think why they might be doing that. 2 reasons - he has claimed to know more than a vanilla would, which hints at a power role. If you are Town, you wouldn't do this because you are telling the Mafia you have a power role, thereby making yourself a target for a nightkill.....
If you are under lots of pressure ie only 1 or 2 votes away from being lynched, then you would disclose information to save yourself, especially if you have a power role. But to volunteer such when miles off being lynched is not a pro-town move.
Just look at each post and think - 'Is that post in any way helpful to town, or is it not?' That simple maxim can go a long way to helping you to decide if the poster is dodgy or not.
And trust no-one. Start with the idea fixed firmly in your head that EVERYONE ELSE is Mafia.
