Trusting others makes it easier to have a clearer view on people's posts. Trusting others makes the paranoid "what if" scenarios go out of your head. A few mafia view articles have discussed the importance of establishing trust with other players in the game. I find the game of mafia as a town player to be a maddening endeavor, a paranoia inducing experience where the more a game goes on, the more I lose a sense of what is right and what is wrong, and that right there might be what for me is personally the hardest thing for me as a town player, and potentially my biggest weakness.Īnd to me this is where the basic answer to the above question comes from:

All of that doesn't even acknowledge the skill of the scum players present in the game, who can potentially throw a lot of red herrings around in an attempt to confuse you even more. There is a very real possibility that you overthink a game so hard reading some posts over and over that you eventually confuse yourself out of the very simple answers that lie within the game. Everyone has been frustrated at some people who they deem to be playing "incorrectly", at which point you have to ask yourself if you're talking to a fellow town member who is not playing optimally, or just scum. Everyone has lost their mind trying to make sense of interactions that just raise many question marks in their brains before. Everyone has tunneled their mind off on reads that turned out to be wrong before. Everyone has been confused in a game before.

People need to sit down and process an enormous amount of information and somehow find the scum in what could be an extremely long series of posts that can be interpreted in a thousand ways. While this is obviously true, the road to get there is very hard. "It's simple, good town players nail down the scums in any given game!"
