blaming yourself everytime for every loss will just lead you down a road where your ability will plateau.

I think that this is dependent on the way that you blame yourself, and what you do in response to feeling responsible for something.

I think the best attitude isn't to blame people or groups of people for losses, but rather to examine the play and see what could have been done differently or better. Unless you're living until the end of every single game, there's a cut-off point for where you can project your own influence on the game. So, look at the period of the game you had an influence on, and examine how it played out, and what you could have done to make it play out differently (if it didn't go as you wanted it).

Don't blame yourself or others for losses (unless you did something really dumb that literally lost town the game like shooting 5 confirmed town players at once when there was one scum left and 6 town, including yourself.), but rather look at how you played, and then determine how you could have played better. Win or lose, I find this is a good way to actually approach the game with the aim to improve. Blaming yourself or others for losses doesn't really mean anything, unless you actually look at what you did in the game and how it played out.

At least, that's how I see it, and that's the same sort of mind-set and process I apply to any game. Always look for ways to play better, no matter the results.

I'm with Palmar on this one.
And I think that working out what was your fault and could have been better is placing the blame on yourself, so Wiggles is essentially agreeing too.

This betting, perhaps identify the scum team, extra points for having it right earlier, can change it daily, if you change it from right you get less etc.

It's not really working out what was your fault, because I'm saying to do this even if you win. It doesn't matter whose fault something is, because even if someone else threw the entire game, you can still look at your own play and figure out what you can do better next time, regardless.

There is no blame with what I'm saying, just looking at your own play and seeing what you can do to improve it, win or lose. There's no guilt involved.

Exactly. It's not about winning, it's about getting better. I'm at fault when I win, and when I lose.
