No, this goal falls into the category of: "The city will reveal its roles to each other, and in this way, it will win!"

No, this goal falls into the category of: "The city will reveal its roles to each other, and in this way, it will achieve victory!"

Well, from a moral standpoint, there are different ways to look at it.
a) Consider mod killing as part of the rules. Then everything is fine. It's like a business transaction. You pay with the life of a character for the opportunity to express all your thoughts.
b) As a disregard for the rules. It's like, I agreed to the rules just for show, but in reality, I don't care about them.

I don't know, I like both options. Normal people might not like any of them, or maybe just the second one. I don't know. I have specific, distorted ideas about society.

By the way, after that incident, some people started to freak out, or they continue to do so.

it's their right, as stated in the game rules. If this issue escalates, something needs to be changed in the rules themselves. Change it in a way that no one even thinks about revealing their role. But in my opinion, it's a fun feature. It annoys people, allows you to win, so it's not pointless. It's just a different truth, a different perspective on the game.

it seems that law school has brainwashed me. That's bad, droogi!

This rule isn't complicated at all, and the game hinges on it – not revealing your role. A game where you can reveal yourself is no longer Mafia. If you don't like the rule, play something else.

Lynx, I understand your position, honestly! And I even realize the importance of this rule for the gameplay. The thing is, modkill is a loophole for those for whom winning is important. And I understand their position too, because I am one of those bastards who sometimes go to great lengths to win. Although lately I've been trying to restrain myself, because the reward doesn't justify the effort. Even here, it's egoism.

As an option, we could make the consequences of violating this rule more severe. Or accept it, because I'm sure Toxa doesn't feel any remorse. And I wouldn't either. In general, I think I can be understood now. So, I've said my piece.

Aaa... well, it's not far to mental disorders if you try to assert yourself in everything and be a winner. Never losing is also bad; you'll constantly be stuck in the same place, with no development. Send the next draft faster.

Violating the rules, including communicating privately, spoils the impression of the game itself. It then simply loses its meaning.

To reveal your role because you're fed up, leave the game, and go have a beer.
Well, okay, I can do that.

In short, such twists are the only way to save your mind.

arbitrariness. If Tox allowed himself to do something like that, then others have the right to do the same.

This isn't an attempt to assert oneself, or at least not just that. Because, in reality, there's no one to assert oneself against. Or rather, you can only do it in relation to yourself. It seems like an obvious fact. For me, it's a feeling of struggle, a thrill. A kind of adrenaline rush. A battle of wits. Well, I don't know, you can play in different ways, as I said. And playing like that can also be fun under certain internal conditions.

A battle of wits? Well, yes, that's interesting, but where do you see a battle of wits in revealing roles or in an action that deserves a "modkill"? A victory obtained in this way is nothing, just zero. Being able to admit defeat is honorable; I've never respected those who will do anything just to win (when the chances are absolutely zero); such people only disgust me.

What if it's not because they're annoying? What if it's a calculated move as part of the gameplay? Is that also not allowed?
