Mafia has the most clear way of mechanically solving the game because they have the most information.
Town can solve it mechanically too like asoul did at a slower pace.
There is a difference and less experienced mafia players will slip at times doing that
Progression on reads and solving a game as town is natural.
As mafia you skip steps and get caught
What are you talking about? Mafia do not have more information than town regarding game mechanics.
You should just mechanically solve the game immediately because all information on the setup's mechanics is available to town.
Please save the witty zingers - it makes it seem like you let your kids write the posts for you.
Alightsoul solving the game late was not "natural" - I'd assume he probably would've done it day 1 if he was allowed on his account and if he didn't then it would've been poor play on his behalf, same with every town player.
The first thing every single town player should do is come up with a mechanical solution/plan to the game, then play off that.
Do you even read what I say?
The first sentence is just objectively false, the basis of your whole argument.
I think you and I have a fundamental misunderstanding on what the word "solving" means in this context.
I am at a loss for words as I don't think my point even requires discussion.
You know the roles of your teammates. You know their night actions if they were done or not. Who was targeted etc.
Town just knows what single person does at any given moment.
Mafia has less possibilities to consider.
So they have a much straight forward mechanical win condition plan layed out at any point of the game.
Even at final 3 mafia has upper hand cause he can mislynch the weaker or more scummier player. While town has to lynch right.
@faZ You game me some of this advice a long while ago.
It definitely made me a better player.
Finding early game scum-tells, and as scum avoiding them myself.
None of these facts have any relevance on finding a mechanical optimal solution for the game. As I said, you have a different definition of the word than I do - "solving" for you means winning and finding mafia, that's not what I mean.
You can literally solve a setup before the game even starts dude.
really enjoyed flaming myself in the third person
i had the biggest shit eating grin posting that stuff
