How To Improve Your Town/Mafia Play

Thanks to Visorslash for this impressive guide originally from MU. Lots of great advice here:

 

How to Play Mafia Like a Champion

 

After collaboration with many well respected mafia and werewolf players from the joined communities here at MU we have decided to release our critically acclaimed guide to excellent mafia play. I’d like to take a moment first to thanks some of the brilliant minds that helped develop this amazing tool:

 

• Thingy “Hot Angles” Man

• Lissa “If only I read the thread!” 2

• No “hasn’t provided useful content in 5 years” Lynches

• Yates

• Warman

• Originally gamerguy was supposed to fill this slot but apparently he was too busy

 

How to Play Villager

 

Many players have differing ideas on how to play a successful village game, however we have gathered these top tips backed by statistical analysis done by our resident GOAT, Yates. (don’t feed the goat).

 

Insult other villagers and make them feel worthless:

 

Ever thought, “Hey, none of these dropkicks are listening to me. I am the GOAT, they need to bow down to the only person in the game with an IQ above clinically braindead.”

 

Sure you have. And we have the solution. Insult them, blame everything on them. Break them down into tiny pieces until they cry and post sad messages about how you have affected their life. Make sure they understand that their presence on earth is wasting your time and sucking out precious oxygen for the rest of us. By crushing their spirit and breaking their belief they will be more willing to listen to your every word and you’ll finally be able to win the game for your team (if you don’t get strong player killed first for using such amazing tactics). Chicks love it when you insult them.

 

Playing to the Spirit of the Game:

 

Don’t be this guy.

 

Reading the Thread:

 

This is the same treatment they use against prisoners in Guantanamo, don’t treat yourself like that.

 

Use Buzzwords like soab, GLGL, bub and acronyms that nobody actually knows the meaning of:

 

Confound your opponents with words that only a mafia god like yourself actually knows the meaning of (or at least pretend you do). If you know the lingo you can mess with the best. Dropping racist and sexist terms also proves how learned and knowledgeable you are and we recommend using them often to show your superiority.

 

Use your admin privileges to check the mafia teams:

 

Our boy Yates has found an exciting new strategy, this one is hot off the press. Now, this one can be a bit difficult to set up (might require sucking of 0-2 $#@!s – depends how generous thingy is feeling at the time) but with some prime sucking you too can gain access to the admin role, and with your new found powers you can also check who the mafia is playing against you. We recommend you start slow, reading them mafia for strange reasons and then graduate to simply just reading them mafia immediately and clearing townies for nothing at all. People will be so much in awe of your skills that they won’t even think to question how you suddenly got so good. Make sure to discredit all your distractors and send them death threats in private to make sure they stay quiet.

 

An expert level strat is to continue viewing the mafia chats even after you have been alerted to tracking being provided in the private threads. Those peasants won’t dare out you, you are a GOD.

 

How to Play Wolf

 

Sub the $#@! out:

 

Playing wolf brings joy to no one. You are better than this, $#@! that punk that randed you wolf. Sub out and make sure to claim some terrible real life reason that is completely unverifiable. Playing wolf is BENEATH YOU. It ruins your stats, and where’s the fun in the game when you actually have to do something? Nowhere, exactly. Make sure to join the next running game immediately to show them you won’t be fazed.

 

Tank your game:

 

By posting like a child on the extreme of the spectrum (you know which one soab) you can get your wolf game finished as quickly as possible so you can literally post a coherent word and be read village next time you play as a villager. We also recommend fraleying your game as a villager if for some reason you want to get good as a wolf.

 

Get yourself Modkilled:

 

This one can also apply to being a villager if the game is going poorly and you don’t want to get schooled any more than you already have, but ‘accidentally’ posting quotes from wolfchat in the thread and getting the game reranded or finished will not only save your stats, but also your reputation. Alternatively you can just modkill yourself by quoting your role PM and that will allow you to move on to the next game quick smart.

 

Lurk:

 

Why waste your time with the other strategies when you can simply not post? This requires you to spend zero time on the game and still get the desired result.

 

Postgame Management:

 

Nobody can catch you, you are the GOD wolf. Make sure to call everyone who called you scum a button clicker and tell them they got lucky. Tell them they suck and that they should learn to play the game. Don’t respond to any of their responses and simply report any future posts by them as flaming and trolling. If you won, drag your balls over the villagers faces, and over your other wolves to remind them how much they suck compared to you. If you lost, blame the game balance and the host for a broken game, blame luck for bad night actions and blame your team especially for not being good enough to do 1% of the work after you did the other 99%.

 

With these tips, you too can be a champion!
