Philosophically I've come to lose respect for mafia as a game because I think the connection between your play and the outcome is significantly less intuitive and direct than in the other games I play. I like SH and Avalon because you take stances and if they're right you instantly have high winrate. If you're wrong you instantly have low winrate. I'm sorry for conflicting Skitter but we just aren't winning if she is lib who has no other scumreads besides a lib.
2019 stats: Town WR 76.7%, overall WR 81.667%, 1 scum defeat involving a major mod error in lylo vs 8 scum wins.

I will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again. You can come back and be like, “I dreamt that Locke is a N2 Bulletproof Multitasking Cop and Self-Targeting Doctor,” and I will go, “Okay, Locke kill it is then.”

I feel like you appreciate games way more if you take them really seriously and try to understand the underlying dynamics well enough to master them.

I... don't actually respect SH all that much. I don't really respect mafia that much either for similar reasons. To me Avalon is the best social deduction game and it's not even close. You could spend a lifetime playing it and still keep learning new things.

Idk SH isn't really very artistic. I think mafia can be art. Avalon though is a thing of beauty
