Killthestory · Post Post #22 (ISO) » Sun Aug 07, 2016 10:26 am

My own SE wall

Mafia is the type of game where you have fun by playing with your friends and feeling a sense of accomplishment whenever you catch scum or trick town when you're scum. However, don't let the competitive nature of the game get to your hard. A game no longer becomes fun when you're trying too hard to play it, per say. Don't try to be the greatest player out there because there's no need to. This is a party game designed about everyone having a good game where they can have a laugh later on.

That said, gameplay wise, I notice that reads are almost always worse when someone is actively trying to make their reads really good. This isn't in all cases, but someone who's got something to prove is holding themselves back. Just have fun with it, but also be intelligent about what you do. It'll most likely work out for you.

Now, let's go into actual gameplay. Mafia is a game where you design your own playstyle regardless of what other players think of it. It's up to you to choose how you want to play, what you want to do, etc. Most people play by how their personality dictates, and I find that this is a good way. However, other people like to play anti-meta, which again, I find as a good strategy. If you just want to play, then play. Mafia is a game where you learn as you go, so just don't focus on anything and play the game.

Fun > Winning. Remember that.
