--Chief Editor, The Fool
Haters Gonna Hate!
There has been an unprecedented amount of hate in the town of Catastrophe in the past 24 hours. Analysts have reported that while the levels of rage are growing on the whole in the world, this town is suffering a noteworthy epidemic.
"Hosts are not as stringent as they should be about bad behavior in recent years," said analyst Qatol. "However this is one of the worst cases we've seen in a long while."
This information comes as a result of the first ten pages after the game started, which include a plethora of insults, swear words, and people not actually playing the game. Many reported that it is very hard to see where the game started.
"I was reading the thread on page 30 and had no idea the game had begun," said justanothertownie. "I thought people were just yelling at each other in pre-game chat. I tried to tell them to calm down but it just kept going."
Many people often wonder what prompts a player to make such vulgar comments at another. It is not an uncommon belief that players are innately born with the rage, though scientists have yet to find a rage gene to support this hypothesis. Ragers usually have different reasons for being so bm and there is no single reason for a player raging.
"This is the internet and I have the freedom to say whatever I want," IAmRobik said in an interview. "If I want to call someone a fucking idiot, that is my right as an American."
Dandel Ion, another well known rager, has a more selfless view about his own behavior. "The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. If I don't tell a person that they are retarded, how can they ever hope to cure their own stupidity?"
Ragers are usually not self-aware about their own credibility and detriment to the town winning the game. Many other players are skeptical about trusting their reads and the information they provide. Some players just choose to ignore them completely.
"IAmRobik and Dandel Ion? Who are you talking about?" said yamato77. "There's only 28 players in this game and those two aren't listed in the player list..."
To Spam a Spammer
Everyone's expectations about playing in a crazy game has been met (with the exception of raynpelikoneet who hates his role), but nobody was prepared to brave the amount of spam that such a game caused. With over 60 pages in the thread, the amount of reading to keep up with is phenomenal and often very taxing on the players. This creates a perfect atmosphere for the mafia team to watch the town destroy themselves.
"When a player has to wade through so many posts it detracts from their ability to scumhunt," said mafia expert Ver. "Players get discouraged and often jump to conclusions or miss out on key posts. It also becomes very easy for the mafia to join the chaos and blend in."
For some players, the spammy atmosphere just makes them not want to play the game. This can be especially true of townies, who get bored reading all the spam or just don't want to deal with it. Many people often interpret this behavior as scummy, when in fact the opposite is true. Other townies, such as Balla24, may resort to doing absurd things because of all the spam.
"Honestly, random voting is probably going to work better than having to read this spam-fest," Balla24 said.
It is clear that all the spam has affected Balla24's game plan. When asked if he would be playing different if the atmosphere was better his answer was optimistic.
"Would I be trying hard if this game wasn't so spammy? Absolutely. But I got money to make, drugs to deal, and bitches to lay. I don't have time to read through the spam," Balla24 replied.
As expected, some players just ignore the spam completely while still trying to play the game. These players often resort to just reading filters and only going through the thread if they have to or to find important information. Yet others take an even more extreme approach.
"I haven't read any of the game before my first post on page 35," said Palmar. "And why should I? Spam without Palmar is useless spam. These guys should know by now that they need to wait for me before trying to shit up the thread."
Still there are those that advocate making only a few posts per day that are of high quality in an effort to drive the town to victory. Many agree that other players should follow from their example, as their methods have proven success in winning games.
"I'm only planning to make a couple of posts per game day," Foolishness reported. "Even with just a few posts I can bait out information, catch mafia, and generate good discussion. Not all of my posts may contain who I think is mafia, but you can be sure that when they do it is well thought out and properly analyzed. My vote is a weapon and I'm not just going to toss it around without good reason."
Insane Mafia?
A game type that is not often played, Insane Mafia features gameplay with the most bizarre roles you can imagine given to every player in the game. This game type is usually featured in games without the word Insane, prompting much confusion among the new players.
"I joined Aperture Mafia because I thought I was playing in a standard game with a Portal theme. Boy was I in for a surprise!" reported Paperscraps.
Insane Mafia was created for the purpose of giving everyone a role and letting the crazy happen. It was never intended to be taken seriously.
"The name 'Insane Mafia' was given because I like to be as literal as possible when I name my games," said the creator of Insane Mafia Artanis[Xp]. "It's designed to be the craziest game out there."
However many newer players often do not correctly analyze the best way to play the Insane format. It is not unusual for newer players to spend hours trying to figure out their role and how to utilize it in relation to others.
"The problem with this approach is that the possibilities grow exponentially with the player size," says co-host Crossfire99. "There's so much you have to figure out and so many things to confirm with the mods that you are just wasting your time."
The well-known players of the community advocate that the best way to spend your time is to do analysis. Organizing the power roles does not work like it does in normal games or in PM games. Foolishness, famous for his Insane game where he caught mafia only by posting in limericks, strongly suggests just ignoring all the role-related things in the thread.
"Players need to go back to the basics and just scumhunt in the thread," says Foolishness. "Power roles and night actions will sort themselves out over time."
The amount of discussion about roles and what they do can sometimes have a negative effect on the thread. This is because more important posts will get ignored or players will miss out on the real suspicious players.
"For example, has anyone actually read syllogism's filter?" Foolishness adds. "If this was a normal game this guy would already be dead."

Then he went all weird and nonsensical when he was questioning jat.

this is the thing with killing... people are saying he feels more relaxed than in some other game but i dont see it, what i see is a dramatic shift in tone where he gets all serious and explainey all at once but only talks about policy and buttons, it feels like a conscious decision to change his tone but with a lack of any accompanying engagement with reads or the important parts of the game
other reads
oatsmaster is somehow managing to be simultaneously spammy-one-linery and effective-and-helpful. i've never seen anyone but marv walk that line before (boom shots fired at rayn lol)
that said i wish balla had told us the reason for the replacement request, i want to sheep oats but i really dont feel like there is enough in balla's filter to make a determination of alignment especially given the possibility of roleplaying
i like keirathi but cant figure out any reason why
i feel like ve hasn't really said much in the way of actual things, which worries me but only a little
i would've expected sandroba to be way more aggro than the posts he's made up till now, they've been way more thread-direct-ey than like alignment-find-ey

ok that post is actually amazing.
Not lynching foolishness even if confirmed mafia.

great way to end reading this thread. thx Fool.
syllo filter indeed meh, I thought it was better. But it isn't. Maybe I connected him with sandroba when sandrojism was introduced but I didn't understand that joke.
