This is exactly the emotional blackmail that I'm talking about though. Having a meltdown should not be a method of getting people off your case. That create the perverse incentives to be emotionally manipulative. If someone is reaching that point they need to not be in the game.

As someone who used to have that tool in my mafia toolbelt, I completely agree with you. It’s juvenile.

Looking back on my early mafia career, I hated some of the things I would try to win. Emotional outbursts, posting content knowing it would upset the other player so they would make a mistake, gamesmanship as to whether I was available irl or not, etc.

It’s like using an aimbot in a casual fps game. You might win, but you’re actual scum.

Pure, objective review of content is now my only goal when I play. I don’t always get there, but it’s the North Star. It took me years of growth to flush that other stuff out, and I’m sorry to anyone who may have been on the wrong side of it.
