Is someone in tuz a psychologist?
I am wondering what is the reason why some people are so afraid to be killed in this game?
Janna for example, was bragging how she wasn't killed as a G in some old game, despite her team losing eventually. Why is staying alive in a virtual game more important than winning?
Klin is so afraid that he might be killed, that he refuses to think logically and sees conspiracies and tricks in everything everyone says.
Is it our basic instinct for survival in real life that forces our actions in a virtual game?
Some people, I guess, would just like to play longer.
Is playing the game longer the ultimate prize or is it the win?
Perhaps it's different for everyone, but once you learn how different players approach the game, it's easier to play (with) them.
In the unique setting of mafia in XTs rules and this forum too since it was taken from there (no where else is it allowed to talk to eachother in PMs or chats about the game, more boring IMO). I find it more enjoyable what you risk in thread and behind the scenes then staying alive.
Most fun games I had as C have been games I been whacked (not when its first day tho, that sucks), same thing with G, besides doing your best to avoid being investigated, risking being lynched and loudly defending yourself or throwing fake smoke in every direction to deflect is whats fun.
Which is why I why I thought ALC was kinda boring because he didnt want tro try to outright go for a passionate and manipulate last stand as G, he just let it happen (he wasnt investigated no?). Thats when its truly fun. He just stopped trying, no urgency or desperation even if odds stacked against you, no fall guy to try to frame, its why I got tunnel visioned on piotrr, he showed the same kind of laize faire non saying defence to being accused. When 90% of the time, atleast for me, I accuse someone just to see how they react, if its barely a reaction, no urgency or desperation to share their thoughts of innocence or suspicions of others, I tend to lean on that they are either a G or a special role C etc. But then again its been too long around here so you dont exactly know how peoples playing styles are, only remember how Klin, Alen and Matt plays.
In short, really should not matter, even if you should survive aslong as possible, its better what you throughout before your untimely demise.
Best G game I ever had was one I was investigated and lynched as G in 2nd day, because managed to fake being D and get BG whacked first day (and D same night I was lynched). Knew from day 1 I was dead, but PM convos with real D in first day, and faking D in thread (D was a new quiet player that slipped a little in a post), was way more fun then the idea of being quiet and surviving to last day.
