This is good, not only because it tells people how to play mafia, but it also gives newer players some insight on what to look for when they're town.
It's a good start, but in the end of the day, people have vastly different playstyles. Not everyone adheres to what might be considered standard play. Most of it still lies in your judgment.

And after everyone reads and knows it, and knows everyone else knows it
it can just make a higher level for metagames

I'm glad Chill does not have access to this forum!
Edit: or does he...

that's a proper use of the word... well sorta
i thought of rewording it so it makes more sense, but it makes it easier for you to metagame yourself into making different decisions based on what you know and they know you know think you know that they know how you'll know what you know, right

I hate it when people tell me I'm saying something that's "obviously scummy." It's not like scum and town have different goals in the thread in terms of appearing scummy. Like it's never, oh, you're not contributing positively or something, it's just like omg that one thing you said that's such a scum tell.

Nothing is obvious whenyou dont know something for certain.

So like, screw strategizing or whatever, I just play town and it works okay.
I find that playing on town side is much harder because I need to catch people rather than just blending in. Being mafia last game (TMMM) was such a hassle to me. I went into that game with a townie mindset ("alright, finally I get to relax and spam and troll. yesss.") And then it's like, "you're mafia". -___-. did some trolling anyway cuz I was bored, lol.
So we should kill you day1/night1 instead of Radfield?
...Thanks for the guide Ace! You taught me Darth must die!

o.O Radfield/Korynne's a solid team. I'm not sure I would've gone for that argument even if I was town. The first lynch and first night kill teams were nowhere near noob.

Great thread idea, but I think you missed one of the most important features: communication with your fellow mafiosos. You are on a team together, it is a team win or loss. You should be talking together as a team to help out everyone. Far too often I see teams of mafia who let everyone just post on their own, and that inevitably leads to slipups, usually with either the most prominent/ active players, or the most inexperienced ones. However, it is really important for everyone to put aside their egos and just talk to each other. Make sure you are all on the same page.

Plenty is obvious when you have 4-5 games of the same format and the players repeat the same differing patterns depending on their role.
Was pretty blatant in our first few games, where certain players, when green, would go 100% afk and not say anything. iirc, vivi would only post in the main thread if he was mafia or blue, which made it pretty easy to shoot him if he was blue, and which made him pretty easy to out if he was red.

This is why guides such as this and discussions about play are so important. I have been in many gaming communities where I am targeted for my skill. If we bring everyone's level of play up, it'll make the game itself better.

One of the few games where its sometimes nice to hide your skill level. That is, unless you can convince the medics to protect you all the time

bumatlarge going after me/Ace because our skill level = imba. lol.

good idea, can't believe I forgot to add a full section for it. I've been busy with work so I haven't had the time to frame everything like I really want to but I'll be updating again soon.

I haven't really followed the recent games, but when I was playing TL players really needed to know how to win as town a lot more.

The only way you can kill me is if you're mafia Opz. I've yet to be lynched
Great start to the guide Ace, I hope you add more. HP was my first time being mafia, and I really felt like I was just hanging on at the end. I just felt like all the reasons were there to lynch me, and the more I posted the more obvious those reasons became. So my only goal was to be as under the radar as possible.
It was neat watching you in TMMM. Even though I felt like you were mafia(and had it confirmed by Korynne) I had absolutely no idea that YI was the other mafia. It was really well played by all three of you.
