Well while I'm new to this website and mafia forums in general, I'm no stranger to the actual game of Mafia. I've been playing it for few years now so maybe that's why it looks odd how I argue well while looking like a noob here.

Oh and I'm currently writing an analysis of what I believe to be the current gamestate, but it's getting pretty lengthy. Should I keep it to myself or are you guys ok with what is amounting to be my will and testament?

Like literally I've played some terrible games but this one is in a tier of it's own.

Spiffeh and Kyubey so self righteous in their idiocy that it's just sickening.

In post 191, Kyubey The Kid wrote:While I can't really townread anyone at the moment, I'd lean more towards Jean being town than not. He hasn't done anything that would stand out as either alignment, but since his approach has been more investigative than accusative, my gut tells me he's town. That said, I wouldn't bet my life on it or anything. I don't agree with him voting for you though.

Why is being "investigative" more likely to make someone town?


Because of what drives both sides. Unlike townies, who are supposed to be motivated to find out who is who, scum's objective in the game is to mislead others into lynching the wrong person. In other words, they're not in it to find out anyone's alignment because they already possess that info. If the majority of posts someone has are at their core just accusations, then it's more likely for that person be scum than not. Of course everyone HAS to accuse at some point, and the frequency of accusations someone does is also very dependent on play style, so this isn't exactly a foolproof method of identifying scum. On average though, I've found it wiser to be more suspicious of those who just accuse and don't make it a priority to explain their reasoning over those who try to understand the other players and explain their thought process to everyone without being forced to. It's not that being investigative proves innocence (since a good scum should already knows this and will therefore try to be as investigative as possible); It's that accusing a lot makes people more suspicious of everyone and therefore makes it harder for the townies to band together, which at the very least is anti-town. This is largely based on my preference in play style and how I think so I'm not really asking people to base their suspicions on what is largely just my gut instinct.


I puked in my mouth that this passes for "logical analysis."

You have no idea how to play this game. There are people who aren't good at this game and that's fine, but don't start spewing nonsense and pretending you have a clue when you clearly don't.

Basically, though I'm not sure on the wrong/not wrong bit.
You're playing like a shitter and everyone just kind of wants you to explain things so we can move forward.

RadiantCowbells, I'm going to issue you a plea: I'm fairly convinced you're town at this point. I empathize with your frustration wholeheartedly. That said, you're being tremendously uncooperative and unhelpful. Please, either calm down and try to reason with people and actually explain yourself, or replace out and let someone who wants to play the game take your spot. You're doing yourself no favors, you're doing the rest of the game no favors, and if you're town (and I think you are) you're hurting things needlessly by acting this way, and I really don't want this to get screwed up because you got annoyed by people in the game.
