The thing about not coloring all my posts in the color is a good idea! Thanks for showing me examples of players who pulled it off previously! I could learn a thing or two from them! Stalker mode ACTIVATE!

In Mafia, you must learn not to give a shit. When you no longer give a shit, getting into "fights" can even be fun.



Alternatively, give so much of a shit that you spew molten hate into the thread for page after page while bleeding profusely from the nose in real life

If you are expressing emotions and reactions that aren't yours, yeah.

You're doing it wrong.

It's like finding a good wrestling gimmick.

Take a part of your personality that you're either comfortable with, or that you don't let out much.

Then dial it up to a thousand.

Like, with me, I treat people decently in real life. I rarely get into arguments in my personal or professional life. But there's a part of me just below the surface that bubbling. I realized that during the Nobody Special thing a few months back. It's a chip on my shoulder. A righteous anger, an overwhelming desire for justice and fairness, and a hatred for unkindness. Were it ever that the power to be given to me, I would become an unrelenting force of good, a voice of the voiceless who violently crushed any who dared take advantage of the weak. Now, dont get me wrong--- I'm not a violent person by any means. I've never assaulted or harmed anyone. I know it's not my place to dole out justice.

The point is, there's a part of me inside the smiling, caring, compassionate individual that's seething with fury for an unjust world. And I tap into that when I play mafia.

Probably a little too much, and that's why I don't play anymore.

Other problem is it's REALLY hard to turn off once you go down that rabbit hole. One minute you're opening the floodgates and the next minute it's YOU MOTHERFUCKER I WILL SEAL YOU INTO A STEEL ORB AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FUCKING SEA, I WILL FUCKING EAT YOUR STUPID LOOKING FACE, AND PISS OUT YOUR FUCKING SOUL

Look. I understand you're a strong and sexual person, but emotion doesn't belong in Mafia games. Mafia is meant for logic, not anger or aggression. If someone thinks I'm scum, they need to calmly present reasons why I may be scum. Simply yelling, "HE'S SCUM" doesn't move anyone to bring anyone to their cause - not here.

If your playing style isn't working, and I suspect that it isn't, find out why and change it.
