Game already finished Xonar. I don't know if you knew this: but that's all this game will ever be. There are no other things to gauge people on in this game as there's no after-game after the first vote. There's also absolutely no reason for me to try and convince BarDulL that I'm anyone but a Townie, and using more words than necessary is just wasting both of our time. I could sweet talk him all day and at the end he still has to vote one of two ways regarding me, even if I've done the most amazing song and dance number known to mankind and gave the man a kidney he can still go "But maybe he's just a Frownie tryin' real hard" and vote Frownie anyways.
You say that there being no period after a vote means that there are no other things.
You additionally say that there is no reason to convince Bardull that you're anything but a townie, thus you use only few words.
Then you say that he can still think you're a Frownie regardless.
Are you JOKING here?
Like Bardull correctly stated, in Mafia you gain trust and all that stuff. There are definitely things to gauge, and if you can't, then I advice you join actual forum mafia games to learn how.
Your other two points also apply to other games. There's never a reason to convince that you're anything but town. Someone can always call you Frownie regardless of your efforts. Circular and non-progressive logic here. Once again, Frownie logic.
Literally the only reason I didn't immediately vote BardulL as Frownie the second the game starts as a Townie is because eventually I may become a Frownie myself, who wouldn't want to have a vote yet.
So you're not playing to your win condition. It is your job to figure out who the Frownie is, if you want to do that by chance, sure, but that is anti-town. You
completely disregard all the fundamental mafia skills.
If you haven't grasped this yet: If you're a Townie: your mathematically best chance to win is to vote them Frownie, as if they are you win, and if they aren't you lose. If they're a Townie, they still have to vote you a Townie in order for you both to win, which leaves the odds still at 50/50 but with a doubt factor in the way that you have no control over them or their logic (plus it gives them a chance to win while you can't, and makes the game take longer). I.e. first they have to actually BE Townie, and then they have to use their own 50/50 vote to also claim you're Townie rather than Frownie. In a certain perspective this means voting them Townie lessens your chances to 25% if they don't understand this.
And a good read can change chances up to 99%
Get better at forum mafia.
As a Frownie: there's no reason not to simply wait for their choice as yours doesn't matter. And for appearance's sake you'll be doing the exact same thing if you were to roll Townie to protect future investments.
*shrug*
Game over. Want to try again?
Mafia is fun because there's a portion after the first rounds of guessing games where roles such as the Doctor and Cop come into play, and you have previous actions to base educated guesses on rather than pure math. This has neither of those things. There's no reason for him to think I'm lying when I tell him I'm Townie, and there's also no reason to think I'm telling the truth either. And there never will be.
Hahahaha. Follow the Doc/Cop, are you from EpicMafia by accident?
You completely misunderstand mafia. I suggest you try these things called reading and educated guesses. Trust and honesty are others that you might want to look in to.
