My question is: Do you actually NEED charisma to be a good Mafia player?

I think you would be more charismatic if you condensed your message to the essentials and cut out the fluff.

Mimicry and even confidence needs work.

Rude.

Not if you're trying to be charismatic.

Charisma is about telling someone that they are a moron and they need your help in the nicest way possible that they thank you for it.

=)

Sure, if you're actually an asshole.

Lickety! Long time no see!

Barely been around. Been trying to manage IRL commitments and am finally in what I think is the last obstacle to college. (There's always something new, but I think I'm at the point where I can just bite the bullet.) Also personal life stuff being a bit odd. Not bad, but odd. Not sure what to call it.`How about yourself?

Might come back for real at some point, but I'm just lurking off and on MS at the moment. I miss Mafia quite a bit, and some of you nerds in particular, but just don't have the time I used to. I had not one, but two massive replace out sprees prior to my leaving, and frankly, that's not something I ever want to repeat.

I've played a little on a forum composed mostly of friends, since those games are relatively simple, but I suspect if I come back to MS that's going to bite me hard. (The meta is slowly getting better, and there are some good players. However, we still have some really bizarre plays get through that shouldn't have if people would pay a little more attention.)(I.e. A game I just modded where a Scum member was caught lying about their role - but every other player accepted a blatant misinterpretation of the rules.)

Well, I hope you do come back for real sometime. I would love to hydra with you again, that was tons of fun. But I understand rl comes first, so you do what you gotta do.

With that said, I really hope to see you around

Honestly? It looks like its the smaller brother of part of a non-verbal IQ test.

Back on topic, does anyone have examples for each point Firebringer listed? That would be interesting.
Confidence vs Arrogance would be hard to discern I think.

The difference (as I would describe it) is that confidence is strong while arrogance is cocky.
