Batman Mafia Discussion Thread

What i mean is brain and chain.

Been reading mafiascum. Apparently most of the actions I used in this game are treated as scum tells. Go figure.

Yeah. I was rofling so hard every time you made a scummy post.

It is an interesting concept. All these laws put together are almost like rules established to mark a good citizen. I would argue that some of them are based on assumption that everyone is of similar psychology which is not always the case.

That is why I disagree with going purely by the book when playing mafia games. You can't always correctly guess, and nothing is 100% until the end of the game.

But the thing is if every town member followed these rules, it would increase the validity of the collective statements themselves and therefore make mafia-hunting easier when they are pressured and put into a corner. Yet it deters from an individualistic style that is too unorthodox from the base rules. So basically once you start playing mafia, you are to understand that there are certain obligations in this game and to not stray too far from those obligations or else you will be punished.

which is why you play to have fun, regardless of what any guidelines say. they can be used to help you develop your own way to play, but to play them word-for-word is weak.

Haha of course.

I have to disagree that it would make mafia-hunting easier. I've seen a few games of "proper" mafia in which the same things that happened in this game happened. Mafia games are more about random chance even if they are played by the book perfectly, sometimes the mafia gets a break and they win, sometimes the town gets a break and wins, sometimes a neutral gets a break and wins. It's all random chance even if you're playing perfectly by the book.

I totally thought you guys were going to kill a mafian after my video-game-booze-after-taking-the-SATs, but you noobs killed a hooker, a detective, and a now-average civilian.

COME ON GUYS.

I know it can't be said in the game thread right now, but you shouldn't be allowed to speak it here as well since you are just spilling the talk on the other thread.

No I'm not. I didn't spoil anything.

It's more of the "I think we should lynch so and so" and "This person said this so we should lynch them tomorrow" talk that isn't allowed. Repeating the day's events is okay though.

I won't delve deeper into this, for now.
