I woke up at 5am today to smoke a pork butt and wanted to update Cookfia but instead find a new terrible thread.

Hey, did we lose the old version of the wiki that had the completed games list from the first ever games ran on SA?

Oi, is the meta to generally try to execute someone day 1? If so, why?

I've seen this a few times and I can't figure it out, and I don't anticipate getting a non-irony-poisoned answer within an active game thread.

Town of Salem meta is wrong.

Lowkey make all town power roles dependent on somebody being executed the previous day. Problem solved

I can see it now: “But if we execute someone, it might supercharge scum powers!”

I was the scum mvp of my game and they gave mvp to some quirky person who really didn’t have an impact. I’m not still upset about it as you can tell.

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.
