I don't particularly like mafia as a game. I like it as a concept; the concept of interesting different roles and working together to try and find out who the scum are and get them lynched or alternately hatching devious plans to misdirect and kill town as scum. The concept is something I really like, but in practice what that amounts to is people tediously sifting through and analysing every word that anyone says, pouncing on anyone who might want to show a bit of personality outside of the 'scumhunt' mentality and just generally being insufferable.
Sometimes i forget I hate mafia as a game, or i get drawn in by the interesting flavour (or by the fact that a mafia game is set up to be crazy and fun (blatant lies)) and then I end up in this situation where everyone is like 'oh Ix isn't conforming to how things are done' clearly he is scum and getting lost in reams of highly subjective analysis being treated as though it is incontrovertible truth. Any inclination I might have had to try and work out who is scum and who is not is gone because at the moment I pretty much hate all of you scum or not.
"Why not replace out then, and let someone else, someone who might even *gasp* enjoy playing a game of mafia, play in your place?" You might ask. And yeah that is a pretty legitimate question. But the thing is that I think I have fucked up enough behind the scenes that I kind of don't want someone else to know how shitty I am at this, and yeah, this is pretty irrational because when the game is over everyone will know how terrible I was at this anyway. I think the mentality is that "I've made this bed, I should be the one to have to lie in it" and also did I mention that I am stubborn because I am so fucking stubborn.
"Is there a point to all this?" you might be asking, or you might be saying "Shut up Ix and let us lynch you already". Well I will soon enough just be patient. The point is that my quirk in this game, sorry, one second, my 'quirk' was that I wanted to enjoy myself and do something that I found to be fun. Which I know understand is something that is to be reviled and treated with suspicion. Fun? In a Game? Bah what utter nonsense, right?
So, sorry konec0 but I don't actually have any opinions on anyone in this game, unless you would like me to gauge how fun/unfun they have been to play with so far, but I'm guessing that you could care less about that right?
Now before everyone gets the lynching rope ready you ought to know that I am town and I do have a useful role, or well I might have a useful role. In theory it is, but I've been told it is ineffective 90% of the time, but I'm suspecting I have been lied to. I don't honestly know because by this point in the game I don't honestly care.
Long story short: I'm town, I'm useful (at least in theory), I'm terrible at mafia, I guess I'm okay with going through my role and actions if people want that or whatever, I'm probably going to be lynched for this, I don't care.
