Best way to screw someone over in mafia?

Post by F-16_Fighting_Falcon »

Brainstorming the best way you can screw over another player/get revenge for entertainment. Pick one or add your own.

You as town, your target as scum:

1) Lynch them D1 and figure out their buddies through interactive tells and lynch them all on subsequent days.

You as scum, your target as town:

1) Endgame them.
2) Mislynch them D1 after they catch you.
3) Mislynch them while they are absolutely convinced that you are town.
4) Let them lead lynches on a bunch of townies until they self-destruct and set them up to be lynched in LYLO.
5) Lynch them after they get a cop guilty on you and get away with it after they are dead.

Name your own and make it graphic and violent.

Make them Voteless.
Make them a Survivor.
Put them in a game with a Cult.
Everything you say and do matters. People will respond in ways you may never see. May those responses be what you intend.

The best way to screw someone over, as a mod, is post restrictions.

Town players should
never
be thinking about getting revenge against a player. (Okay, outside the RVS, at least. Venge-voting in the RVS, nice friendly way to open up the game.) EVER. Because know what that does? That incites bias against the player in question. For instance, the listed case of lynching them on D1 and nailing their scumbuddies? That's not revenge, that's
playing to your wincon
. And doing a dang-good job at it. If a town player thinks that they're getting revenge against a player, then what they're really doing is confbiasing against that player.


Scum players, on the other hand? Feel free to have fun. I've endgamed an innocent child. I've managed to get a mislynch after having been pegged by the player, multiple times. (In fact, it's one of my favorite scum tactics!) Twist the dagger in by mislynching them when they have your trust. All the myriad of different ways to troll players are things that I love to think about. I actually described my process quite well in the last QT of Antihero's Paranoia. I made it so that I could get revenge against AP and actually beat him (again--the last time before that being Mindreader Mafia), and also beat GreyICE. ('Coincidentally', both games made heavy usage of QTs as an integral mechanic of the game. I'm deadly-competent with them, which is one reason why basically every scum win of mine has had daytalk. I know how to get my mileage out of QTs as either alignment, but especially as scum, I know how to manipulate them to my favor.)

Note, though, that to me? Revenge is not the goal; winning is. Winning that just so happens to be accomplished WITH revenge, though, is truly a beautiful sight to be seen.

Extremely. There's a reason that AP and I if we're both in the game and on the same team are basically an unstoppable force.

cop someone on the very first night (or daycop them in your first post without saying anything or asking any questions if possible)

nightkill someone N1 before they get a chance to catch you and/or do anything about it (LIKE MASTIN IN AOT </3)

claim 1-shot sensor or some other ridiculous role and let town convince themselves that if you're scum they've already lost

Suicide bomb the mod
Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.
I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play?

claim a cop guilty on them while their hydra partner is VLA and watch as the real cop with a real guilty on your scumbuddy forgets to counterclaim?

Counterclaim whatever PR said hated target claims.

If they don't claim, claim guilty on them D2.
