Why do you play mafia?

[Fumuki]

I'm almost certain that people won't take this thread serious...well...but some good jokes aren't bad...

Anyway, as the self-explanatory title asks, why do you play mafia?

If someone did ask me it, I would say that's because it's one of those games that really let you make your own strategy unlike most "strategy games" where you simply need to analyze what the game benefits (what do more damage, what is the optimal way to manage your resources, etc) and simply follow the recipes. Mafia can be played in whatever way you want and playing against real and different people adds not only variance but a lot of possibilities/outcomes too. Plus, the idea of catching liars among people is genuinely interesting (although it gets stressing when the whole town becomes paranoid).

And you? What are your motives aside from the thrill of lynching people while they scream "I'm town!"?
