But if I win as whatever alignment, it would mean, I’d bested the best and if I’d lose it would mean, I lost to the best. So ergo, I’d feel great about every single game outcome.**********We just need to tread carefully because if you slip up around her as scum she notices and will tear your spine out and slap you to death with it.

You can go to any team game out there, type the name of a streamer and you would be likely to find people raging left and right at their teammates despite being at the very top level of the game. So again, I think it absolutely changes nothing. It might make it a more challenging game, but it absolutely will not change anything about your frustrations with the game. In fact given the increased difficulty of the game, and the added stress that competent players might bring in the game, it might make the problem infinitely worse.
I feel like it's good to remind yourself that this is a team game and that you cannot control the other elements of the game, such as players. Getting mad at players for "playing bad" (which in a game of mafia can be quite debatable at times) will honestly just make you feel absolutely miserable for no reasons, for reasons outside of your grasp. Changing your mindset towards these elements of the game might be more helpful than wishing for an utopia where every player manage not to frustrate you, which is what you want in the end
Changing the mindset is a long task that requires to be self conscious. Instead of acting like "GOD THIS GUY IS PLAYING SO BAD UUUURGH", try to accept that this is an element of the game you have to deal with, and try to create a positive thought process instead. This is how people that play poker prevent tilt-

I was using Poker as an analogy of elements that are completely out of your control working against you. There is literally nothing you can do if you happen to have bad luck. Even if you played perfectly, a little bit of bad luck and you would still lose hands you should have won.In post 127, Ramcius wrote:Since when poker become team game?
In mafia, as town, it might be townies doing really stupid things and making it easy for scum to win. As scum it might be partners that do really bad things and making it easy for town to win. That's hard to deal with sometimes but not impossible.
My point is: dealing with those types of frustrations is the same method in both situations. You cannot deal with certain things so you need to change your reaction and approach to these elements in order to retain sanity. It's hard but you need to do it, if only for a more enjoyable experience.-

I think the absolute worst thing about mafia for me, is it tends to bring out my aggressive critical side. When I see really dumb play, I have difficulty not calling it out and I can have a very sharp tongue which sometimes gets me into trouble, especially with people I care about, which sucks on numerous levels. I’m really a very nice person irl but it probably doesn’t seems that way on mafia sites. I think it’s all about the ”judgement” process that is involved in every game. You know that the nature of the beast is paranoia based but knowing that doesn’t make it any easier, when you get misunderstood.
I think I’ve gotten a lot better at it though and have become more patient and more chill, which is probably helpful in the real world. Maybe I’m a masochist but I love to constantly challenge myself at an emotional level. Still, it’s an ongoing struggle for me. :/**********We just need to tread carefully because if you slip up around her as scum she notices and will tear your spine out and slap you to death with it.

I’m starting to be legit concerned that I may have a subconscious tendency of masochism.:/**********We just need to tread carefully because if you slip up around her as scum she notices and will tear your spine out and slap you to death with it.

I don't hate mafia. My relationship with people mirrors how I feel about mafia. If I like people, I like mafia.ShowThe scum had the misfortune of Titus being absurdly accurate on day one.Really quite impressed by that.~Drixx
You're letting Titus win the game by herself.Good luck now I guess.You have no chance to win.~Tywin

The best and worst part of mafia, is realizing how you’ve vastly overrated other people’s intelligence.**********We just need to tread carefully because if you slip up around her as scum she notices and will tear your spine out and slap you to death with it.

For me it's fact that I still believe that people can be good at mafia, but it's fading more and more with every game I playIn post 141, Nancy Drew 39 wrote:The best and worst part of mafia, is realizing how you’ve vastly overrated other people’s intelligence.-
