Best way to learn is play. Not be told things. That's how I learned and most of us did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This removes speculation related to mechanics, and reduces the game down to its simplest form. @Counselor, you’re not playing wrong or anything. Just a village idiot claim in a game where all the roles are known, and village idiot is not among them, is likely to garner scrutiny. It’s cool to lie about your role as any alignment. I do it all the time, but we just know VI isn’t in the game. So, basically, people are likely to categorize you as a guy lying to survive, lying to take a hit, or misreading a PM.

When I worked in Alaska I had a vice principal at my school who was from Oklahoma and who played dumb saying “I’m just a dumb Oakie” so he was never put in charge of anything because he messed up the things he was put in charge of early on. He collected a 120k a year salary while the rest of us shared his duties because we actually cared about the success of the students and the school for the same amount of salary as we would get if he was doing all his responsibilities anyway. Point is. Sometimes it pays to play dumb Yeah, I would agree in a closed setup. I’m an open setup, claiming something not in the setup post is only going to have everyone looking at you.

I’m providing some semblance of direction, which is beneficial. It’s the same as teaching a person a new card game or board game in person, or providing them a cheat sheet for point values, or any other analogy that is helpful to visualize it. In fact, what I’m advocating has been an educational paradigm since the start of civilization. They can ignore everything I say. I don’t advise it, but they can. I was Mafia in my first three games with great players and their guidance helped me a lot. As Town, I have incentive to help them as much as possible while I can. It evens the playing field because (unless Mafia is two new players) I doubt a new player on Mafia has a teammate telling them “lol figure it out bro.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. If you bold a name or no lynch, the last name or no lynch bolded in the post gets counted as the vote. Also, scum usually likes to hedge because it gives them an excuse when the person comes up civ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a very empathic person. I agree that all the newcomers should not be told what to do and should just play the game. I also think the longer they play the more they might enjoy this, hence why the no lynch, which is not a great strategy usually of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
