Wow this game!
I really can't understand how people can be so sure of themselves, tbh. This game is literally all about being blind and taking all options into account to remedy that.
Nah, this is good. Decisiveness and forthright discussions make for a much better game than timidity.
I try to look at what others see, then I look at what I see. See if their are similar thoughts in it. If not I go with what I see. It's tough to try to find the hole in the way the Mafia work when you have no clue who they are and other players will play them different then the way others play it.
Idk, I'm kind of of the opinion that if there's a game where you have a group that's deliberately trying to deceive everyone else, it's very dangerous to be unquestioning of your own reasoning.
As much as the night gives a nice break from it though, I am ready to see what day 3 brings.
Now many peoples theory has been blown to shreds it is going to be interesting.
As host, there's a special kind of enjoyment you only get when you yourself know Theodore is Town, and hearing everyone's declarations of him being Mafia (and being so sure of it as well) is priceless entertainment.
You would enjoy the death of innocents you sick bastard!
I'm a sick bastard too though so it's cool.
Staff can read Moogle Hug comments you sillies, and there are several people on staff playing the game. Don't put messages in there! I deleted it and don't worry 'cause I'm not playing, but yeah, not a secure channel.
This is true. Mafia is often a game of persuasion. I can't begin to tell you how many times I've had to persuade a town really hard to lynch someone who is obviously scum (go see the archives!) but it was a constant source of frustration. Either way, from that experience I can tell you firsthand people are likely to believe someone who is confident about their target being scum than a wishy washy "oh they might be, I could be wrong though" half-answer.
They're both correct: it is in your best interest to seem confident even when you're not 100% on a theory. Much of the game is persuasion and (if Mafia) deflection. To succeed in both, you need to be charismatic enough to both get people on your side and make yourself seem above reproach and deflect dodgy questions.
Having said that, I can sympathise, because I really dislike sounding overconfident and I'm fairly cautious. Even when speaking, I litter my words with 'I think' and 'possibly' and 'maybe'. I personally find it really difficult to sound confident, but it is something Mafia is making me practise, that's for sure.
