[23:16] clefairiel: hi
[23:17] clefairiel: If you do not mind I have a couple of questions for you
[23:22] benguin: sure! go ahead
[23:23] clefairiel: What was the hardest thing about being a mafia for you in the last game?
[23:23] clefairiel: Another one is, have you taken any notes?
[23:26] benguin: I'd say the hardest thing about being a mafia for me is:

1) trying to push the game in a direction that'd be beneficial for wolves whilst appearing to push the game in a direction that'd be beneficial for town and
2) trying to do (1) in a way that is believably consistent with all my previous actions and "thoughts"
[23:28] benguin: And also, I feel like as wolf, I'm much more careful about my choice of words because I'm worried that what I might say might come off as wolfish. Then I'd get worried because people might think that my posts are wolfy if it seems that my posts appeared to be too carefully worded.
[23:30] benguin: And I don't have notes. I mostly wrote notes as a wolf last game for my own sake because I was having such a hard time fabricating actual thoughts that I needed to see a bigger picture of what was happening in order to come up with believable reads/beliefs/thoughts/etc.
[23:35] clefairiel: I find what you are describing in (1) surprising since it seemed like deliberate strategy how much you were saying you were sussing your other mafias
[23:38] benguin: Stupid question that I haven't asked anyone yet because I'm afraid to sound stupid: what does "sussing" actually mean? xD
[23:38] clefairiel: Oh sorry. It means finding somebody suspicious
[23:38] benguin: gotcha
[23:39] benguin: I recall looking up the term once and found that it's a british verb meaning "to investigate or figure out" which I guess isn't too far off lol
[23:39] clefairiel: I played Town of Salem off and on for about 4 years before I tried TWG, and it's normal to say somebody is "sus" as shorthand for suspicious
[23:39] clefairiel: and I also say "sussing" but I may actually be the only person on FFR that says it
[23:39] clefairiel: I am not sure
[23:40] benguin: I've seen other people say it...I think it's the double s that probably through me off since "suspicious" doesn't have a double s lol
[23:41] clefairiel: Although, I guess spending the whole first day saying roundbox is suspicious, was not necessarily bad since others did not agree with you
[23:42] clefairiel: And you were kind of backed into a corner with voting for raeko
[23:42] clefairiel: But I was just surprised how much of what you did, was mafia on mafia violence. Haha
[23:42] benguin: Funny thing is that I had forgotten that roundbox was even my wolf partner during the first day and only figured out once it was the night afterwards lmfao
[23:42] benguin: And then I was kinda stuck to stick with that lmfao
[23:42] clefairiel: Combined with the idea that you are trying to push things in a good direction for the wolves
[23:43] clefairiel: That actually makes a lot of sense
[23:43] clefairiel: That is funny
[23:43] clefairiel: In Town of Salem they have a little thing on your screen at all times that tells you who is also a mafia, so that helps with that
[23:44] benguin: (brb, gotta put my laptop away and hop on this bus)
[23:44] clefairiel: Ok
[23:51] benguin: Ok, on my phone now :P
[23:51] benguin: And that little thing on the screen seems like a helpful feature xP
