Best MafiaScum Game to Explain Mafia to friends

[vizIIsto]

Hey guys,

The question is plain and simple: if I wanted to show an exemplary game to a friend or relative, what do you think is a great game I can use as an example to help them understand the core physics of this game? I assume it would be a Newbie game, but everything is allowed, also a game from another site if that helps. I feel like games such as Town of Salem and Werewolf Online are bad to show to them because they are fast-paced, and that will only suit regular players that have already played a few games of Mafia / Werewolves.

I could also show them the rules with the Wikipedia page but that's far from all. They hardly even discuss 3rd party roles on there, so yeah.
Preferably a game with a few power roles, a few vanilla roles, and if possible, one simple 3rd party role like serial killer or jester. That way I can show them a game and explain what is happening in that game after having explained the core rules.

Final note: It's obviously better to play long-timed games first instead of 15 minute rapid ones you find on Town of Salem, so I'll always recommend this site to them. Do you agree?

You can select 3 answers which best suit the question asked in the poll. I picked 3, 4 and 5 (in that order) because I think it's good when they've seen a low-paced game, and seeing you play a fast-paced game might be good when they already know about the basics of Mafia/Werewolves (despite it going so fast)

Thanks in advance from the viz.

Anything but TOS

Seriously, TOS is no fun, 30 second day phases suck

I still struggle with this lol.

Tell them not to play it ever because you, a scummer, have wasted 10+ years on playing this crappy game here on MafiaScum.

Wikipedia and newbie game.

Reading other people's games is boring imo.

Really?

I basically started on this site by reading games and it was highly addicting

[popsofctown]

It's not exciting to me unless I have an alignment.

Part of mafia's fun to me is the roleplay of believing in my heart that I am a noble villager aiming to root out corruption and evil

That's why I hate rolling scum so much I have to literally be evil so black much cry

I read games for about 2 weeks before I decided I had nothing better to do and signed up

I don't read as much games anymore but yeah when you start out you really lose track of time

[chennisden]

Also hydraing kinda works

I would say just join a newbie game. It’s okay not to know everything about the game, and the more games played the more you learn, and that’s the case throughout the mafia career.
