On Improving In Mafia

I realize practice makes perfect when it comes to improving. Which I guess can be applied to point 3. I know what helped me improve was better understanding of game theory for mafia. Which I could learn via trial of error, but talking game theory with more experienced players can be exhilarating. Finally reflecting on your own play / self critique is probably very important for improving. Watching my own splatoon 2 play can be interesting, but reading my own play can be embarrassing at times but it helps immensely to do so.

TL;DR: Practice, Learn, Reflect.

I agree with this. I know there are people who prefer the opposite though as well. I generally enter games that are advertised as simple, otherwise I'd join a complex setup if I really like the theme, or the playerlist (or am familiar with them). I think this all comes down to preference though.

I don't know the best way to practice and improve but recently I replaced into a slot in mylo and tried my damn best to convince a town read who I thought was scum and that I was town. So basically, trying to work on my persuasion skill. Yet I made a few mistakes and was onto one scum at first but then reverted my read on them, game over. So going to focus on my reads some more.
