Is making someone promise or swear on someone/something a fair strat in a mafia game? And if you do it without being asked to?

I have
1 signed
promised that I was town as mafia to win a game or made someone else do it and felt it was fair game.
Promises are fair play?

If you swear on Jesus then you can't go back on it.

soluciones if you dont like the question then refuse to answer it as either alignment. if you always promise as town and dont as mafia it is YOU putting meta into your games, not the person who asks you.

But i think im not the only one who would refuse to answer a question like that as mafia. Asking it is unfair, stating it is unfair and even if you do not believe it, it's still a meta. People who swear on something to win epicmafia games have some sort of depression

You're also probably bad if you have to force out a line like that.

no you still have to read them. some people will promise and lie if theyre mafia, some people will always promise truly, some people will avoid the question when mafia, some people will avoid the question altogether because they think its unfair, e.t.c. you still have to understand why they say what they say and what it means about their alignment

It's not ogi unless u make it honest meta and do it every game.

How does swearing on something like that make somebody "low"? I mean, I do agree that if you take the statement to include someonebody's life, then that should obviously be OGI. But it's such a common phrase now that it means literally nothing, or perhaps that's just British culture.

There was 1 game I was in recently where I was the hard townread of everyone all game. I went into 3way no clears and pushed on obvious mafia (Pottedstuff) who had no argument. I got hammered because they swore on their honour.

Then again, that person mishammered three easy wins in a row and didnt realise how they messed up.

i've seen this guy on more than one game saying "IF I'M MAFIA ILL LITERALLY KILL MYSELF IRL" and he was mafia. and didnt get ogi vio, which i disagree. things like this are just toxic and not fair to use at all

i mean it's not really hard enough to figure out that someone low enough to swear on the lives of their family over an internet mafia match would probably also be low enough to lie about it.

if you swear on your mum's life or something, I'm pretty sure that's OGI. but if you swear on a donkey's left testicle, it wouldn't be.

unless you literally only promise as a certain alignment across multiple games it's not an unfair strategy

Because it is unfair. dont tell me youd swear on your family you are town just as maf and feel good about it. it's like meta gaming
