The Root of Toxicity in Mafia Games

[Alisae]

is from the game itself.
Its not fun.
It pisses people off.
It doesn't work as a competative game or a fun party game.

In a competative video game, you have a clear chance to just whoop some ass if you are a good player.
Do you really have that option in Mafia?

In a fun party game, your friends can get into it and, have fun.
But in Mafia, what happens is you get into fights and get mad at each other and start yellin.
The only time you get to really connect with your friends is when you're shitposting memes and literally not playing mafia.

And then you get to late game where honestly, no one really cares at all they just want the game to be over because the game has just gone on for way too long.

[Alisae]

and why do people want to one-up each other

[Alisae]

and they have that ego because they wanna be the guy that gets to beat some ass

[Alisae]

Mafia was a game that was meant to be played rl not on an online forum

[Alisae]

my response to everything youve said here OP, is: why you here then?

So you clearly haven't experienced mafia on this site yet.

in what sense does that fact relate? you just said the game at its core doesnt work in any context people play it in and that u only enjoy "shitposting" in games. why are u on a mafia site?

personally i love the game in any context so ill probably enjoy it on here

Well Yugioh, my boy, you wouldn't understand.

[Alisae]

it's probably because alisae is a toxic person let's not pretend

no way

[Alisae]

i would never

[Alisae]

I am only nice to people

[Alisae]

I'm basically an angel

"It's teamwork + you don't know who your teammates are!" sounds like it should be a mitigating factor, but when I think about it more, I don't think it is? If I have a correct solve in a 10:3 I have to cooperate with the same number of "teammates" as a micro.

and when you do find out who your teammates are, it turns out that they're wild animals.

Also I'm seeing a lot of comparisons to League in this thread.

This video still holds true about 4 years later

[Alisae]

if you really think about it, League of Legends and Mafia are the same game except Mafia is worse.
They both suffer from the same problems

[Alisae]

See
League is better than Mafia in that
if someone is literally running it down mid in League, they can get banned.
If you rand scum with someone and their first post is:
"I am a town roleblocker that is also a modified paranoid gun owner (I can only kill one visitor per night)."
And then that person proceeds to deathtunnel 1 person while refusing to work with your team and also not even trying to hide that he's scum.

You can't get that person banned. He's trying lmfao.

[Alisae]

i know what I said

[Alisae]

psst
no one tell him

[Alisae]

the toxicity in league and mafia and a whole bunch of other games comes from the players being immature

so being frustrated is immature
Ok dude

[Alisae]

if you're toxic about it, yes

I like how you responded to my post but not the post that challenges your thought process.

[Alisae]

well, apparently, if you even consider or think about talking shit to someone else, you're immature

[Alisae]

wow that comment was really immature of you
