Okay, so I've been busy, but I'm finally here.
That tie double kill hurts my soul, LOL! It is what it is. Read the rules!
More importantly though: is Mafia a game that can be played without toxicity? I think the answer is yes, at least I hope it is. I understand that it is easy to get upset when people find us suspicious,
especially if they're using reasons we can't agree with. It can be easy to get annoyed when the ball isn't rolling the way we want it to. There's a little
in all of us
. It can also be easy for scum to get annoyed when players use AtE/self-voting to prevent their lynch; scum ideally want to retain and keep as many lynch options on the table as possible.
Re: the Ryker situation, it is clear as day to me that Ryker was trying to undermine Soup's presence in order to secure the lynch. In response to Soup's self-vote and perceived AtE, Ryker "blew up" in response with AtE of his own.
In general we should try to avoid AtE, sometimes though it just comes out which I totally get. Classic example is when people team up against your slot and you're just like "wtf why are you guys doing this" and then you scum read them and it becomes a mess, especially with all the undermining that happens in these games. Not sure how to deal with this except that people just need to take a break from the game when they're under suspicion and want to lash out at how wrong the situation is to them.
I apologize for doing that, truly, but I took a gamble to be townread
That's all well and good, but you need to understand that it is
incredibly easy to interpret this action as you just throwing in the towel and giving up as either alignment, I personally thought you were scum giving up at first. In general just don't do it.
Only thing I don't appreciate is being told I'm exploding or having a meltdown, like guys I'm 24 now you think a Mafia game is gonna spike my blood pressure? The only thing that can do that is how I ****ing owe for College lmao
I had fun regardless, though I do wish that people wouldn't instill past behavior unto me, moreso I wish I wouldn't fall back on it due to familiar faces
It's annoying when someone is saying you are prone to behavior based on information from many, many years ago, when you feel their statements aren't truly representative of who you are
today.
That said, I think you understand what it's like being on the other end, so I'm not going to put you on blast for it. Just remember it for next time when you start thinking about saying something like that.
