Mafia As A Social Game: An Argument About Charisma

[kuribo]

I've only ever been mislynched twice, both at lylo

I hate the term "fate copycat" because I was yelling at people long before fate. HOWEVER, I do feel his success here has led to enough people trying to emulate it that it has reduced the effectiveness of rage. I notice this in my own games, people are so used to getting yelled at that it just doesn't matter to them. I can't speak for fate, but I know for myself that raging helps me gauge people's reactions. Or I'm just legitimately pissed off. I also feel moderators are more lenient than they were back in 2008 when I first asked someone to put down the crack pipe. The proliferation site wide of the "autism" insult is an example of this. Not for the better.

Sad thing is I've been yelling at people so long I've just about forgotten how to play without caps locking, name calling, or photoshopping my avatar murdering theirs.

I'm considering doing a series of public service announcements about why we shouldn't rage, as part of my MafiaScum Rage Rehabilitation.
