Here's a basic rule of thumb, if thatguy isn't killed off Day 1 or by the first night's hit, he's mafia.
How many times have we talked about this. I think I've only been mafia three times, anyways. Maybe three. The last time I played, I was neutral, and lived several days. Before that, I died by mafia hit the third night, I think. I was mafia before that, then, I was a townie for a long, long time, and helped lead several townie wins. Just voting someone out because they are a good player means very little, and a lot of the time, it can mean the townies lose.
Besides, how many times did someone initiate a conversation with me this game? The only time I got a PM without sending someone a message first was when I had Plugabugz for my vote on day 2, and asked people to PM me about that. No other follow-up, or anything.
There have been games where the mafia keeps good players alive just to get them voted out. Following the route of voting out good players just because they are alive isn't a good choice. Plain and simple. It's a bad way to allow the mafia to take advantage of you.
That's how I feel about that. Whenever you play a game, you need to put everyone on equal footing, and never underestimate anyone. Labeling a player as good or bad is a mistake. There's mafia, neutral, or townie. Those are the appropriate labels to base things on, with adjectives such as "suspicious" being good to use as well.
I can't imagine what would have happened if on day one, a random player messaged me, said I was in the mafia, and said they were the detective, that they wanted to make a deal with me. What would have happened then? I don't know, but I guarantee the game would have gone differently. That's just one strategy, but it's an interesting one that shouldn't be overlooked.
I know I'm ranting, but I'm trying to help. All I'm saying is that there's a lot of players that use the same strategy: Judge people by public information. That's not a bad strategy, but it's an easy one to manipulate when it's the only thing in play.
I just wanted to let everyone know that I investigated thatguy on day one and had already PMed Khush asking to investigate stevey on day 2 before I learned I was killed in the middle of the night.
You're all fools.
Also, I'm voting for Spak on day one from this game forward. He needs to be punished for acting like a total asshat this game.
And then you proceeded to talk like one would imagine the cop would, though. I messaged several people on day one, and of all the people, you were the one that most acted like a cop trying to hide would, IMO. I decided to hit you that night. Don't say everyone is a fool when you made foolish moves, yourself.
