I used to play on MU but that was also exhausting.

Nah, it sucks, cause other people don't put their efforts or do things to hinder you. Usually that's scum's job and lynching/killing them should win you games, but way too often these people turns out to be on your side

Satisfaction is directly proportionate to efforts put and that's true not just for mafia

I think the problem here is that you're presupposing you shouldn't hate it

It's unhealthy to try to force yourself to enjoy something you don't

There's about a forty different things that can make any game of mafia bad. It's not an intrinsically good game. You can have good games of mafia, but it is frankly just not open to the closely balanced gameplay of things like chess, LOL, starcraft, etc.

Functionally every time you play mafia you're gambling on maybe having a shit experience or not

Timeshift still takes the cake, because worst.town.ever. but RHPS can never be dethroned for worst game ever.

When people are literally begging the vig to shoot them, you know you’ve hit rock bottom.

Mafia is arguably comparable to “Risk”. Use caution when you play it with friends.

I find that in a lot of games I’ve played , I’ve felt like
figuratively
smacking some people. Am I alone in that? :lol:

When I started on this site I felt like I was 1v1'ing a lot

It took a lot of effort to be more chill but I think it had a negative consequence of basically increasing my naivety because I felt like I was just beliving everything and missing the scum lying to me

So I'm trying to strike a balance there but it's tough.

Overall though I think its positive to develop yourself in the long run so I see the benefit of trying to work on my own personality I guess

That's what keeps me here, trying to make the site useful for me in terms of developing my own skills in dealing with different people
