Some people on TL seem to play each game only to further their Mafia meta. They sign up for games, see they got Vanilla Townie or something, and do nothing for the rest of the game but make stupid one sentence posts so they don't get modkilled. Then when they finally do roll Mafia, they can continue with their "do nothing" play but aren't actually hurting their team by doing so. I shot one as a Compulsive Vig but it didn't stop the exact same behavior in the very next game. I don't understand why people sign up for games just so they can not play in them. Who cares if you're bad (Ace does!) but at least take the time to post something more than one line fluff designed to avoid modkills. Or don't sign up at all if you're only going to play if you get a powerful blue or Mafia. | ||

Did someone actually state they are deliberately crafting their meta? Otherwise it sounds to me like case of giving too much credit.  | ||

+ Show Spoiler + So, reading up on Zorkmid's thing made me remember how fucking madI get at people who cry about bad towns or themselves being tunneled are. Like, really, there is no one responsible but you. If the town is not agreeing with your logic, even if you're right, it's not because they are bad, it's because you are not doing a good enough job convincing them. If you are being tunneled, it's not because whoever is tunneling is bad, it's because you haven't clearly enough established your innocence. I don't care how bad the reasons for tunneling you are, if you get lynched, you're the problem, not the people who got you lynched. If someone got you lynched with terrible reasoning or on policy, good job them! Sure they may be town too, and thus be detrimental, but if you are town, you must be able to deflect that shit. Let that sink in for a moment. Someone came up with TERRIBLE reasons, and yet he still managed to get you lynched. How bad does that make you? Getting lynched in a mafia game is always your own fault, there is nothing else that can make you get lynched than you failing. Even when the odds are stacked against you (you're red, and a dt has a check on you), the responsibility is yours to make sure they hang some other bastard. If you think there exists something called "bad town" you're part of the problem. Part of your responsibility is to find out what kind of logic appeals to the town you're trying to convince. You'd not use the same methods to explain something to a bunch of kids, and to a board of executives. It's your responsibility to tailor-make the arguments to fit the people you're trying to convince. If person a) says "LOL, YOU MAFIA" and you say "No, here's a detailed analysis of why you must be scum", yet the town lynches you anyway, it's YOUR fault. You did not recognize what arguments would work with the town you're playing with. It's never someone else's fault. There is no such thing as bad towns. The only answer to the question "Why did we lose?" is "Because I am terrible and must improve". | ||

also nice rant palmar. To be fair, sometimes it is just bad town being bad. In most cases, tho, you're right. | ||
