I've always felt that mafia is more of an emotional/psychological game than a logical game.

I don't think anyone is arguing that faking emotions is not allowed.

I do think there is a point where certain behavior crosses the line - eg attacks and appeals that are personal and not game-related. Games aren't a free-for-all where you can say whatever you want and there's no consequences, especially because a lot of us play with the same people again and again. There is also some trust required that we take each other at face value when we say personal things. You're free to break that trust if it advances your wincon, but with the consequence that some people won't like that you broke their trust or behaved badly towards them, and they won't want to play with you again. Like if someone told me that their family member was really sick and that's why they were acting a certain way but it wasn't true, I would feel personally betrayed that they had lied to me and I'd probably choose not to play with them again.

which posts of mine do you think crossed the line where I was lying about my personal feelings or circumstances?

that was meant to be a purely philosophical post, I'm not trying to refer to anything that happened in this game and I'm sorry if it came out that way.

like I post usually what I think because I want to be open and transparent about what I'm thinking - some of my thoughts are a little bit crazy and I probly shouldn't post them but I have a tough time filtering myself. I will try to cut down on what you think crosses the line in the future.

i think from that vantage point u were mostly fine tbh

i have actually made a lot more progress in recent games in being much more restrained and less spammy about thought-posting =]

it's just rare that I get the opportunity to play with people who are this committed to the game so I got carried a way a little.

ok a lot - and probably to the detriment of my side in this game.

I was talking about "faking emotion" not emotional manipulation. There are certain lines about real-life and personal events that I think are out of bounds obviously for the sake of an internet game.

this resonates with me a lot i think. there's a distinction between letting emotions show as either alignment & outright emotional manipulation. and like tbh nobody wants to be emotionally manipulated so just avoiding players who do it is a great idea.
