This just seems kinda suspicious to me, especially #4 & 5
What I find supicious:
2.I find the "there is no most effective or least effective mafia style" to be off-putting because it was supposed to be an opinion to gauge a person's playstyle against their answers in the future. I find the "theyre gonna be a town leader and go for influence" to be a pretty good answer, because it shows what they think mafia is going to try to do, but then they went on to say how they'll "avoid lynching mafia and go after power roles", because thats the basis of the entire game.
This is Nemsis's opinion, being that there is no play-style that is effective for
every possible situation as you'll be forced to adapt as the game goes on, it's impossible to account for everything and instead we went on to give a generalization of what Mafia might try to do.
Of course they're going to try and control the Town because if they have enough influence they'll be able to sway opinions and control the lynch, which means they'll obviously do anything in their power to avoid lynching their scum partners. It's common sense they'll go after the power roles as well, but I don't see anything wrong with mentioning that.
I don't see what you're trying to argue here, honestly.

4 & 5. The point of these wasn't to look for a lynch target and get a read list a couiple hours into the game, it was to get a guage on your playstyle and who/what you'll be looking for in the future. It also had the secondary intention of generating conversation, because if someone gets triggered and goes full defense mode on a joking accusation in here, we might look to them for being supicious.
I'm aware, but that doesn't really change the fact that it's still only
a couple hours into the game and asking such questions like that is just a waste of time right now when a majority of the thread is fluff. People aren't going to get defensive over someone thinking they're suspicious until they're able to build a case against them and you know, actually become a threat to their living status.
Speaking of which, you've already gotten quite defensive already when you were called out for buddying. Coincidence?

This whole thing just reeks of being overly calculated and taking out any actual information that could possibly be used against them if someone gets suspicious. It just seems way too void of substance.
It reeks of putting thought into our answers to give a genuine reply to something that had no substance to begin with, while others fell for it. Did you purposely tailor the questionnaire to be useless, or did you actually try?

LITERALLY LOOK AT ALOIS' PAST GAMES. They literally ALL end up done in 2-3 days because they find all the mafia on day 1-2. If that isn't a good player and I'm not allowed to say they're good for that, then just lynch me now because I'm not going to justify a compliment.
I've won as the last alive as 3P survivor without a real killing ability which I decided was my goal D2, as well as hitting all the Mafia with my investigative ability in a row each night. It's not that hard if you know what you're doing and overall not that impressive.

The reason Lux pinged me off was because it was blatantly rude and seemed to be an accusation by calling my complimenting alois "gross" and trying to add onto suspicion because I complimented her.
"They called what I was doing gross so they're obviously scum!" is not a reason to find someone suspicious. If your main reasoning putting suspicion people is for being rude then you aren't going to like me, and furthermore I'll know not to fully trust your reads as they could end up being very biased.

Maithax wasn't suspicious because it was a nice compliment and didn't have anything that seemed scummy to me. As you said yourself, the mafia will likely try to lead the town, and Lux seemed to be trying to pin suspicion on me for something that shouldn't matter, whereas Maithax was giving alois a compliment because she is good at the game.
Are you saying that because they really weren't suspicious, or because you're in the same boat as them and it could be turned onto you as well for doing the same thing? Yes Mafia will try and lead the Town but god forbid Town scum-hunt to prevent such a thing from happening.
