Like, leaving a legacy is nice but if it crumbles to dust after I'm dead, it's all the same to me: I'll be too dead after that point to enjoy a legacy

Kuribo's read is foolproof: one night he was high on NyQuil, and he's ancestors reveiled Aureal's alignment to him. - Dessew

The key is to not die
There's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.

You must not imagine that for beings like you and us there can be laughter. The low men laugh, and we envy them. But for us, the higher ones, there is no laughter, only an unending vigil, purely serious, stretching on into the night.

Mafia taught me that I'm much better at being convincing than I am at being right.

Assuming you have the right personality type, I would argue these things (charisma, the ability to make others see things your way) become internalized the more mafia you play. Mafia has also been scientifically proven to help you be better with the ladies. This is a fact.

So what you're saying is mafia encourages people to tell you to come to their beds

Ummm

I'm not sure the correlation implies causation here

But I could test this theory more if you'd like.

My ex wife signed up here once and never posted in the game she /inned


She would have been phenomenal at Mafia because she was a CRUEL AND MANIPULATIVE FUCKING LIAR

He was only an X-shot cop and used them all in earlier night phases. Plus she looked really town in early-game.

What if she was town though? Then her manipulative skills aren't useful

Manipulative skills are always useful.

You can't lynch scum, even if you find them, unless you can get other people to sheep you.

Simple find someone who loves playing mafia as much as you do.

Then when you do go to bed you can have fun but not resent the time either of you play mafia.

see problem solved :P
