What is your favourite thing about Mafia?

[Soft-spoken]

my origional interest in mafia was purely political and psychological. i wanted to understand how to manipulate other peoples decisions, and how to see when i am being manipulated. influence, intrigue, interpersonal psychology... how does the hive mind work and why?

i feel like i have mastered much of this, but am continually surprised about how the hive-mind evolves over time. not only in individual games, but over the course of several. the "meta" (in a group sense, not an individual sense) of how to think and perceive.

and here i am, planting myself into a new format of the same game... a whole new world, i can start over and see all these things develop from a fresh perspective... but its all the same... it will always be different. mafia is the most dynamic game ever conceived.

now that i have determined that all is relative to circumstance... my new fetish is creating unique circumstances. style.

I think my favourite thing about mafia is the opportunity to see how a person's brain works and understand them as an individual. I like it when pple drop the veneer and you begin to see the player behind the screen as a person with an intrinsically different way of looking at things the way that you do. that's just really valuable to me.

I also like winning tho. also what ut said.

This. This may be why we have a hydra.

[kuribo]

[Tere]

No you have a hydra with mollie because everyone has a hydra with mollie lol

[McMenno]

I like faking post restrictions and roles, faking guilties on D2, then "breaking" those post restrictions on D3, and after that hammering myself!

i like the cut of your jib

in the event of my untimely death, would you like to steal my soul and take my place?

[Looker]

Hearing other people's problems, seeing their awkward interactions, and realizing that my life isn't that bad...

[Quilford]

Winning, I guess.

Ya

Also having fun. Mafia should be fun! I try to inject humour into the games I play

[GuyInFreezer]

The community it builds.

Seriously, few things bond people closer together than trying to murder everyone around you.

Since I make no sense, time to let everyone else explain how I feel.

The puzzle and race against time to figure everything out before you lose. I find it to be so much fun as games near their end and all your suspicions/feelings about people come together.

Outsmarting people on the opposing side.

weird roles that require creativity to use

1- To perform the ultimate gambit

What is my favourite thing about Mafia?

Performing the ultimate gambit. Outsmarting people. Watching behavior and reactions.

Deep somehow these got lost.

I've always been someone that likes to analyze people. It came naturally not being much of a speaker, I was never confident during my time in School, very shy kid. I'm not as shy now, but back then I was really really bad. Due to not communicating with people much, aside from my close group of friends. I often spent a lot of time analyzing different people. What kind of person they were like from how they acted, dressed etc even without speaking to them.

This sounds really creepy when I type it out, but I think we all do it or have done it at some point or another. You make a guess at what someone's like or what their story might be without even meeting them personally or only briefly. This sort of ties in to what I love about Mafia, analyzing people's motives, who they side with, why they say what they say. My only problem when playing is I hold back more than I should due to being anxious, even though I should just let my thoughts flow regardless, even if I sound silly whilst doing it.

Nothing. I hate this game.
