You can read Link's terrible justifications for that, or me when/if I start playing seriously. Both will be eternally more helpful.

Only mafia wants that kind of ammusement.

Only mafia takes a joke and turns it into a lynch target

If we insta-lynched everyone who played poorly in a previous mafia, half of the players in each game would be eligible for it. I'm not at all defending how she played, but I don't think lynching her this game will help anything (except maybe feelings of revenge/justice).

I never said we should lynch her

It wasn't necessarily that she played poorly, it's that she played in a way that was detrimental to her own team, essentially by her own admission.

Dear UTA
You are suggesting we leave a player who killed two different towns for zero reason whatsoever and lied to the whole town entirely conscious of their actions while being a town player alive

This isn't bad playing, this is playing against your own team. I can see leaving BAD players alive - Like Crockett, for example, after his fuck ups, or even Link despite all the terrible explanations he did last game - as they have actively tried to contribute - they just fucked up.

This player in specific destroyed the whole game for absolutely nothing. There wasn't even a "Oh maybe this is right" behind it, it was just straight up 100% lies that harmed town entirely in all scenarios.

Do you see how they're different now?

[Dm]

EBWOP: Sky herself has admitted that she knew that what she was doing yielded nothing for town and was extremely against town. Honestly, I don't even know how she was allowed into this mafia - she clearly played against and harmed her own team in a team-based game. This is plenty grounds for a ban in Mafia.

Honestly I'd just lynch the worst town players first off.

That's one way to see it, but from my perspective a confirmed town should not be killed off, even if said player plays badly. Even if they're not confirmed, huge public mistakes are usually town flaws, because mafia members have teammates to look after what one does and it's pretty hard to slip that badly until the endgame. That's why if there is a chain of players making huge mistakes, the good thing to do would be ignoring those people for a while, confirming the main character of the chain, and focusing on others with the lynches in the meantime.

Too bad this playerbase isn't smart enough to do that and is a massive lynch-train hopping hive.

Seems like lynching Dm would remove the most drama from Mafia 53 at the moment

Choo choo!
