Apropos
In the interest of transparency, I temporarily paused the round for a few reasons:

1) there are still a good number of reports, appeals, and requests for refunds open that involve this round

2) I wasn't aware of if there were any open investigations this round or not

3) none of the other mods (outside of charley, who only recently came online) were around to handle the reports or verify if there were investigations, meaning if there were nobody could pause the round

the pause was just temporary and should be getting unpaused before midnight so the round should finish today

I only paused it out of precaution since nobody was around, thanks
thank you and gl. thx mods also

To clarify, when I say "playing well," I mean either finding the mafia successfully and consistently or, as mafia, staying alive until the end of the game. I also believe playing similarly as town and mafia is an excellent indicator of skill level. The best players, I think, are ones that seem ambiguous every time.

or take a look at some of my setups? ;3

Give daddy something pleasurable to play for next round @Luke/Putler/Bogmire/Transcend/anybody off of the leaderboard with over 1400 points and 10 hearts

I actually think winning and playing the game well are completely separate entities.
Without question, anyone who thinks anything else is kidding themselves

MisterPresident
I would even go so far to claim that winning a game of Mafia involves way more luck than skill. One player can be absolutely stellar and still not win a lot because the people around him or her influence the win.

I think you can only say someone is more skilled than lucky if they win multiple trophies/win a lot, such as brownpimp007 or Crypto.
This is an interesting debate but at the end of the day, mafia is a team game. You're only as good as your weakest link unless your clears are good enough to carry the burden

Oh, and I guess Giga13 as well ;)

My favourite setup, Cry N' Oh (CnO), has a governor in it

Depends on the setup; you can't blame the governor role itself
Bogmireover 8 years agoedited
MisterPresident
I would argue that guns and the governor role both have a big impact. It comes down to the fact that both "powers" place control of the game into the hands of one single person.

Mafia is a lot of skill and a lot of luck, so I would also argue that you are unlucky if you do not win sometimes. That does not necessarily mean you are bad.

By playing setups you argue "bad," you are also at fault for taking the chance in putting your fate in someone else's hands.
In the first 9 days of this round i went 28/40 (11 losses & 1 veg) for a 70% winrate, in the past 2 days i have gone 5/15 for a 33% winrate. look no further than this round and my statistics as an example of this
MisterPresidentover 8 years ago
Some setups with governor are quite competitive. O2R/some of its variants are good setups.
