The 11 Commandments of TR Mafia Redux
Guap suggested after the Assassin's Creed mafia game that maybe it's time to revisit these rules of thumb and talk about them some more.
:
:
- don't trolley track; keep your thinking flexible enough that you will consider all reasonable possibilities - Use Ockham's razor. usually the simpler explanations are closer to the truth In addition to these, I think we came up with another commandment in the AC game: - If you are vanilla town, don't claim unnecessarily. You narrow down the potential list of town players with special roles for the scum team. Folks acknowledged in the previous discusson that there are times when breaking one of these commandments is pro-town, and that breaking one is not a de facto reason to lynch someone without other scummy looking behaviors. So how are these holding up? Are they still relevant? Do people follow this stuff? Do people expect others to follow this stuff?

Scum rules :
There is a strategy to making scum win ,It's not fun ,I'd never use it It's a game , for scum it's a team game, one of your major advantages is team work , Talk to each other ! NK low participant players first rather than full on active town players ,because it encourages town players to suspect each other . Vote for each other as much as possible without actually getting your lynched . Pay attention to time zones , Raven gets Talkative and honest if she is missing sleep (sorry OB ) It's a game , enjoy ! supporting your team members may lose you the game but it's much more of a happy rush if can and still win (or at least do well ) Oh and don't be angry ,Insane , or too flippant even when town Your persona Owns you not the other way around !

yes it is. and I'm saying that Feck is formidable scum and mediocre town. I've gotten a little better at spotting his vanilla town game, but it scares the crap out of me trying to figure out if he's a special or scum.

ratz mafia has improved by miles in a relatively short time. In that same time, TR mafia has gotten worse and worse. We've had something like 3 town wins since December. Town isn't losing because TR scum has been awesome. Town is losing because town sucks. anyway, cutting off the head(s) and laughing at the twitching headless body of TRTown works at TR. It doesn't work in games where most of the players, whether noisy or quiet, are competent at the game.

i'm learning from TR mafia most of what I'm learning is the clever play , but some is how not to play . I learned to play mafia with one set of players , it's mostly a subjective subliminal game unless you do data analysis on the meta .Some of the town play I've seen here has been horrible (people with more axes to grind to any team spirit). but some has been fucking brilliant ,Teeth and Raven nailed the last game Of course town had a strong player with a major role which helped .

town players especially those that are thought of as strong players who post a lot tend to be aggressive towards each other in the early game .Docs and body guards tend to protect these players , trackers etc tend to watch these players If Raven (for example ) hasn't been hit with a night action early on then some people start to suspect . NK ing low posters may not remove strong players from the game but it a relatively low risk kill for scum IMHO

town was starting to tear itself up and self destruct and the main reason was because two strong town players were still alive and that alone was enough to start wifom brewing. this despite the fact that the previous night kills had been completely logical choices of a scum player who was special-hunting.

When I'm town, I come under a butt load of suspicion as the game progresses. If I'm still alive on day 4 I usually have to fight off a serious lynch bandwagon, unless it's obvious that the only reason why I'm still alive is because a half-dozen town specials made themselves targets on day 1 and 2. ETA this used to be the enviable trajectory of damian's game. when he quit playing, I was somehow slotted into that role - the object of the why-is-so-and-so alive meme.

intellectually, I know it is probably good for town to lose a couple of losers early. But, when I'm playing, all I want to do is find and kill scum. if those losers are on my team, they are my team mates.
