...at epicmafia? I'm still a somewhat of a new player, and I'm not that good at the game. How did you learn to get better?

I learned to get better by playing the same setup over and over again. Once I had a basic knowledge and understanding I read the suggested strategies and then did the opposite. Soft as doc, hardclaim cop d1, when gunned as cop deny gun, etc. Then from there see what works well and what doesnt. Make modifications. But then I came up with a next level strategy. I was given the OK from several mods that my strat was legal. Then giga reported me and self-modded his own ruling and gave me a violation. He said that I was warned not to do the strategy. That was a boldfaced lie. Even worse, the game in which he reported me, I didnt even do the next-level strategy. So because of that, I guess my advice to you is this: Don't think outside the box. Just stick to the outdated strategies that have plagued people from being innovative and unique. This is the reason people think FP is lame, they think it has all been done. And now when innovators like myself and others come up with new techniques that buck the system, we get reported. De-mod giga.

I played a few games then realized I had to model myself after a good player. I still remember reviewing some of Monk's games back in the day.

Just treat yourself like you're stupid when you're wrong, learn from it, and you'll be less mediocre than the people you're playing with.

I feel like I used to be super obvious but I've gotten better like my maf percent is higher than town now. I mean I used to not put in as much effort as maf cuz town is more fun its like solving a puzzle truecrime , maf is just lying. Apparently i've become a better liar hahaha.

I would disagree that town is consistent. Often as town I change my mind, as do others. "Tunnelling" is often a null tell, and only bad town do that, IMO. Yes they are consistent in such a way that they don't contradict themselves (usually), but they can change their minds.



Pinacolada says

One of the biggest mistakes I see in comp players is focus on fossing people for being "all over the place." Mafia usually has a game plan; a strategy in mind, and will often stick to a fos or rationalize a change in fos, while one word may change town's opinion and they'll get called flaky. Honestly, it could go either way.


as i said, i was only giving principles. yes, town can change their mind. they can change their mind a bunch of times even. it's that there has to be foundations beneath it for it to be town. mafia are opportunistic. if anyone seems to completely forget a fos, especially if it wasn't an altogether articulated one, they're probably mafia. feelings don't disappear as quickly as mafia rationalisations
