It's like how if you get into a long debate and suddenly find yourself saying "well, can we really know anything? is there really such a thing as facts?" -- yeah, sure, you're I guess not technically incorrect, but if this is the only argument you can use to win the debate, clearly you're in a bad place. This is not what I'm saying at all. The nature of what I'm arguing is very different. I'm basically asking "what makes someone Mafia?", and you're saying that I'm asking "how can we possibly know that someone is actually Mafia?" A lot of people have different tools to catch Mafia by saying Mafia are usually passive, inactive, bla bla bla, and I'm asking if being illogical is one of the traits. Is it? | ||

If you play like you have ADHD then you get your rewards for it. This isn't to say I think you're a bad player, I think you're fairly sharp and intuitive. you just use your tools in a very poor way. I can understand this. I already admitted the fake red check on Rsoultin and my ADHD play (lol I liked this one) didn't help. But I also think, marv, that that kind of play is more likely coming from town than from Mafia. It's not a GOOD play, but it isn't scummy IMO. For example, I think that Mafia would never come day3 saying they DIDN'T get roleblocked and that they DID have a red check instead of an obvious green one. Anyway, I agree that my gameplay needs to be polished. Thank you  | ||

Day 1 town played poorly / wbg and hf played great. There were something like 140 pages by the time day2 started, which is wayyyy too big for a game of this size. Wbg and hf just shit up the thread with endless tunneling and arguing non stop. The chances of a mafia being lynched in that environment are low. In every game there are going to be lazy/busy townies and when the thread is 100 pages of completely pointless arguments they are going to skim or not read posts at all. The problem that some active townies have is that they cant help but respond to every post directed at them, mafia can use these townies to help derail the thread. A lot of times once it becomes clear that someone is completely tunneled in it is a lot better to only start selectively responding to their posts and instead use your time to discuss things with other people. | ||

A lot of people have different tools to catch Mafia by saying Mafia are usually passive, inactive, bla bla bla, and I'm asking if being illogical is one of the traits. Is it? I mean if you asked everyone what makes mafia most people won't even agree. In a real game if you genuinely ask that half the people won't bother answering you even. It's also honestly mostly only obvious how a particular player plays as scum (or town) in hindsight. So what matters more than having good reads is the ability to convince townies to go your way, if you think your way is good, and MOST importantly, convince everyone you are town. Fake claiming, throwing around suspicions willy nilly, throwing around reads willy nilly, is a great way for everyone to think you are scum because your in-thread opinions change on such a whim and at such little precedent that it looks like you're scum just trying to get something to stick. Lots of people will see that and overlook any other traits that may make you look townier because they miss the forest for the trees. When you realize that most people are just willing to jump on lowest common denominator (gonna use LCD here) lynches, then you need to make YOUR lynch into an LCD lynch; something everyone will agree on. That's how I get people lynched as either alignment and it works surprisingly well. It also works to get people OFF lynches if you explicitly show how someone is the LCD at a particular moment in time. e.g. if I were town this game I would've vehemently defended BF and LS just like I did this game because they are two players who are at risk for being that type of lynch. The problem of course is that here you have to assume your read is good to lead a lynch like that. If you fuck it up you lose credence but you simultaneously need the confidence to know you won't get lynched for it. So it's a 3 part thing-Have good reads, convince people you are right, and don't be wrong. | ||
