Claiming Mafia As A Joke

Do you think it's funny? Aren't jokes by definition funny? If it isn't funny then isn't it not a joke, by definition? What about in setups with daystart, where mafia don't know their partners? Is it a super funny joke then?

Claiming mafia/hooker/nilla/disguiser at daystart during daystart setups is funny, and I'd like to continue seeing it every single game

You don't even have to ban people who claim maf for trolling, you can just ban them for being unfunny cringeworthy children.

Can someone explain to me where the humor comes from? Is it funny because really you are not mafia?


Or because you are, and no one realizes.


And actually, there have been studies done into what exactly makes something funny to people, what the root cause of creating a laughter response in a human or animal is.

If I'm remembering right the researchers found some connection to humor resulting from a situation being not what it's expected to be, but in an innocent way. Though that does not cover all forms of humor that we experience, of course.

So when someone claims mafia in a game where the entire objective is to hide your identity as mafia, and yet the game is largely unaffected by this, it's funny.

well consider if someone said

"hooker"
"oops I forgot this was daystart lol"

that would be self deprecating humor.



Self deprecating humor is implying you're r.etarded or that you're an invalid or something. What you're talking about is not knowing what a joke is

It's my policy to lynch whoever claims mafia, unless I am mafia.

If anything my biggest complaint about my trip is that I haven't had enough time to play, I don't think you understand how much I love mafia.

theres no way someones touring japan and at night after a tiring day sight seeing, he decides to go on epicmafia to complain about the state of the game


I was shitposting from the top of Mt. Fuji and nobody could stop me.

Current state of the game is incredible anyway.
