"Psychological" Mafia: - Guys, we need to eliminate someone, otherwise the city will suffer. - Hmm! Guys, he seems suspicious! - EXECUTE!

Vis, aren't you tired of it? Let Thory, a player on your own team, confirm that psychological mafia games are just as interesting, and psychology can be used very effectively. Do you think I identified your mafia role on the very first day by chance? Okay, let's say that's true. But Lisa, with that kind of behavior, needed to be eliminated, because it was either complete indifference to the game or a mafia role. I bet on the latter and was wrong, but I wasn't afraid of making a mistake because such indifference is sometimes scarier than a negative role. It seems you either haven't played psychological mafia games at all, or you've played a couple of times and were brutally defeated (rather, exposed), after which you decided that psychological mafia is terrible.

But Lisa, with such behavior, needed to be banned, because it was either complete indifference to the game or collusion. I bet on the latter and was wrong, but I wasn't afraid of making a mistake, because such indifference is sometimes scarier than a negative role.

Yes, that time his NNO didn't hinder us, as there were still enough players. But what if, on the last day, we were left with such an "ally"?

Psychological mafia games are just as interesting, and psychology can be used very effectively.

Psychological mafia games are the best invention of mankind, yeah :) When the fate of the mafia players is determined by the complexity of the hints given by the game master, it's not good, in my opinion.

Here, the fate of the Mafia players is also determined by their ability to analyze the situation and think ahead. Of course, in psychological Mafia games, you also need to do all this, but the approach is different due to the lack of information. When you can get information about the roles of the eliminated players until the very end, the game plays out completely differently. And when you can find the murderer based on clues, even more so. I enjoy both Mafia games with clues and psychological ones equally – each has its own appealing side.

Gil, aren't you tired of it. I have played. Please tell me, what criteria did you use to "identify" me in the early stages?
Let's play, I bet that psychological mafia games are terrible.

Vis, after the first night, in his post "The Mafia got totally owned, lol x)", he bet that you were a member of the Mafia. The feigned emotionality in such a short message. Compare your post with Ara's post, which comes before yours, for example. There's no reasoning, just a fleeting post to create the appearance of participating in the general joy. Yes, it wasn't a 100% guarantee, but I didn't immediately claim that you were Mafia. I started observing your subsequent actions. And there were almost none. But then there was this:
"Execute Arandor!
It's better than nothing, lol."
This convinced me even more. Ar was almost certainly a town member because of the block and the absence of several town roles. There was no point in such a departure from the majority, and even with an accusation against a town member. Even considering that you were criticizing Ar. :D
After all this, I was about 84% convinced of your Mafia affiliation.
The next day, you only confirmed my suspicions, increasing the probability of your Mafia affiliation in my eyes to about 98%. The unwillingness to engage in dialogue is a standard fear of revealing something.
I'm not forcing anyone to use this method – in fact, it's more beneficial for me to be the only one using it. I'll have more control, no problem. :D In general, I don't understand what all the complaints are about. You were still hanged based on the evidence. I was just more convinced than others thanks to psychology. So what? I wasn't wrong. Regarding Liz – well, don't try to prove that Liz played well by saying that the Mafia boss is probably a good person, so let's make her a town role. And with the phrase "if necessary, I'll change my vote" 5 minutes before the end of the voting.
As for the suggestion to play – I'm not against it. But with that attitude, you'll probably say it's terrible even before the game starts. :D

approximately 84%
up to about 98%

How did you calculate that?

How did you calculate it?

It's just basic interpolation formulas; there's no need to even mention them. :rolleyes:

Can you use them to calculate percentages?

Gil, I'm too lazy to look for a facepalm image.
I use similar phrases in every Mafia game, I suggest executing Arandor in every Mafia game, and I don't answer stupid questions in every Mafia game.
For any minimal psychoanalysis, you need to know the person at least a little (not like Arandor, he's funny). Do you know him? No, you just took a shot in the dark. I'm curious how you can reveal yourself in a psychomafia game without any clues?
Therefore, it's a waste of time, this wannabe-psychologist stuff. Lol, guys, use your intellect; psychology is key.

Okay, fine. But Lisa should have been banned for such behavior, because it's either complete disregard for the game or collusion.

Oh, this unwillingness to admit one's mistakes undermined even such a strong player. It's sad...

I'm curious how one can be exposed in a psychological mafia game without any "snitches"?

It's possible. You vote on the wrong side, react nervously to accusations, defend a player who ultimately turns out to be a mafia member, get caught during a commissioner's check, behave inappropriately, become overly emotional, become silent, don't participate in the search for mafia members, are lazy about rereading previous days, don't follow the course of the game, become overly involved in acting, and so on.

Vasya the thug is very aggressive, writes aggressive posts, and behaves aggressively. But he got the role of a doctor in the mafia.
How can you vote the wrong way if it's impossible to determine "the wrong way" due to the lack of snails?
- Guys, that guy over there is mafia!
- Ok, ok! Mafia, mafia!
- Definitely, definitely!!
- Why is he mafia?
- Aha, now you've been caught, execute %username%!

Can you even use them to calculate percentages?

You can even play the piano with them, and you're asking about that.

Oh, this unwillingness to admit one's mistakes undermined even such a strong player. It's sad...

Don't want to talk about your own mistakes? :smile51:
