This is certainly not a friendly place to play, but there are other mafia sites that are. So don't give up on the game if you like it.

I came back because I missed this game, but it seems the same thing that made me leave in the first place is here too. You can't judge every player the same. I'm old. I'm rusty, I work two jobs and can barely make it one day fully conscious anymore. I've never been good at this game, but I like playing. But I was always first on chopping block because nobody likes my style of play. And yes, I don't have a lot to say Day 1 because it's Day fucking 1. You can't gleam much from that, and surprise surprise, people look for an easy wagon. When you're down two townies tomorrow because you voted me out, would it be worth it?

I should've never come back. The mental stress of this is too much for me to handle. Maybe I just longed for the simpler days, before the endless bore of the daily grind, before the incessant cyberbullying I've suffered that almost made me a shut-in. Maybe I just wanted to relive the innocence of my youth. I've always sucked at this, but I do what I can. But I don't have the time or patience to wait around a month for another game. You all get to play together all the time, that much is obvious. This was my way of testing the waters of whether it was worth it to come back, but as always, I get the short end of the stick. I've always been easy pickings for scum to push a mislim on me, because I'm not good at the game. I wanted a little more excitement in my life, but maybe I'm not meant to have it.

Intent to hammer in 16 hours
HOLY SHIT THIS.

Please don't leave me here alone to teach people that we're people and not just mutations of the perfect Mafia player.

The site isn't all bad, just tell people they're wrong when they scumread you and most of them should learn that over a couple of games.

I don't have the energy to try and look for somewhere else. I barely function from a day-to-day basis as is, this place is the only place I knew where I genuinely had fun playing the game and where I wasn't judged for being myself. But eventually it became way too frustrating when you suck. I thought maybe I'd had gotten better at reading people as my life marched on but I suppose that only works when you have to look at them face-to-face.

Life is hard enough for me without this stress. Being the emotional support for someone who self-sabotages constantly can be just as tiring as working a 40-hour week. I needed the levity, but I guess I looked in the wrong spot.

Heh, but hey, you guys aren't the therapist I need. I shouldn't dump that baggage on you. Always been a problem I struggle with, along with getting frustrated when no one listens. I'm usually pretty decent at hiding that, but when I've hit my limit it just comes spillin' on out.

Well there are sites where people do respect the person behind the player.

Don't think that you're bad. At its core this game is about being able to read people and influence people. I suck at the second bit but am pretty good at the first bit and I get on alright.

When I first came on the site I was constantly ignored and eliminated for being a VI over, and over, and over again. People were horrible to me. Part of the problem was that I was literally 13 and still figuring a lot of things out. But there was a big problem with people being stuck in their own perspectives.

Tge site is in a better place for that right now that I've ever seen it. You seem to have the foundations in a good place for being able to ACTUALLY read people well. So I think it'd be really cool if you stuck around.

Gryff is incredibly obvious town. If you're town, get your head out of your ass and find somewhere else to vote.

If you’re willing to a) vote Firebringer and b) do it with me, that’s certainly on the table

Whether I like it or not, I've always been annoyingly competitive. I can't stand it when I'm not good at something. It's a reason I refuse to play fighting games with other people.

Sorry. I genuinely do want to have fun.

u can be competitive and not care about getting elimmed tho.
if i were u i would be trying to sort who on ur wagon is scum motivated instead of getting frustrated that there is a wagon on u.

I wasn't quite as young as you when I joined (15), and I definitely think that was a part of it, but I also think there was my failure to latch on to the core concepts of the game, as you say, reading and influencing. I recall influencing another player when I was a vet in a newbie game using friendliness and obliviousness to my advantage, and that was about the only times I ever ended up winning as scum. Maybe three times total? I'm not quite sure. But as for town? I guess my failure to accept that I wasn't very good at reading people made me try to project an air of actually knowing what the hell I was doing, even though, as a kid, I genuinely had no idea what that was.

Come to think of it... I think I remember seeing your name around from time to time, but I don't think we ever interacted.

I'm going to go attempt to sleep, though my chronic insomnia means I'll be staying up looking at my phone for another hour. See you all in the morning before I get to my job.

It's just frustrating that I was so looking forward to playing again, only to get the same treatment that made me leave in the first place.

For what it is worth tho

I genuinely do think andante is scum, in part, because the way she carries herself is pretty close to the way I used to play. But there's also the erraticness, and, not to echo someone else's point, but the fact that she keeps trying to force content out of people. It seems to me like an obvious attempt at trying to seem obvtown.

With all due respect, I've left that name behind due to some personal painful memories associated with it. I've been a victim of harassment when using that name and similar ones associated with it, so I would prefer that it remains out of sight, out of mind. I know that will seem as though I'm trying to hide my past, but I genuinely do suffer from intrusive thoughts and trauma from my time being referred to as my former name. That's why I made this account, to get away from it, and let the old me die.

i was really curious because u said u played five years ago, and ive been playing pretty continuously on this site since i joined in 2015. I am now an old fart here.

i was wondering if we crossed paths in a game.
I also used to play in way too many games at once.

I'm starting to have my misgivings on Gamma. I was initially a townlean though with the caveat of Herta being town making her suspicious, though I'll say her jumping on my wagon with basically no fanfare the moment that steam for theirs left is very scummy behavior. Kow would be in the same boat if he wasn't seriously just over this far worse than me, haha.

Honestly speaking I think I had more fun modding games back then rather than playing them due to the aforementioned reasons. There's definitely some nostalgia for my younger days. I remember staying up til the wee hours of the morn reading the games I was in trying (and failing) to actually catch anyone.

I've never been a huge fan of playing town for that reason.

Given what I'm seeing here, I think andante/Gamma are a pretty safe pairing, though I'll admit I have no idea about anyone else.

I will note, I also absolutely do not like red's minimalistic commentary and focusing on hyper-specific (and imo often irrelevant) details
