What helps you win games?

almost 8 years

These are a few things I find helpful:

(1)——In danger of getting lynched——try really hard to find scum (or fake so if you're scum). Defence cases usually doesn't help as much as doing proactive town things (ex. putting effort into making scum die). You should still hulk-smash any arguments being used to accuse you along the way.

(2)—It's /easier/ to get somebody to do something if it's their own idea. This particularly goes for not pointing out your own intended towntells, but it's surprising how often you can manipulate people by getting them to connect the dots themselves and thus become excited about an idea because it's 'their own.'

(3)——In Lylo——avoid being the first to vote (unless unusual circumstances ex. doing so to not look like you're hammer-sitting). You're just /mechanically and statistically/ substantially more likely to bag the win.

(4)—Town morale is important——I think effort / desire to win is the biggest factor in not getting lynched. It also makes you less likely to go along with what you feel might be a mislynch.

(5)—Loudness(contributing lots) —If you're loud, persistent, rational (not simply fillering or spurting garbage) and /not/ annoying you'll get a lot accomplished. I find It's generally difficult to lynch a loud person who is being useful and making sense.

Back. I'm town. Lynch denial. Redino is town.

In reality though the level of participation corresponds to how important the game is and how much work I have to do. Sometimes it's also no necessary to speak. You don't have to filler. I try only to speak when I have something useful to say. Plus, "power players" generally don't get ML'd on day 1 so it's a little bit of a relief. On the flip side, if we get fake guiltied or real guiltied it's like 90% chance we are done for since people are always looking for an excuse to lynch us and being a cop report allows the mob mentality to take over because they don't have to 1 v 1 us to lynch us. Lastly, we have actually earned the right to be sheeped because of winning numerous trophies and generally being correct way more times than we are wrong. So it's always like, "let's leave this guy because if he is town he will help us wreck the mafia and if he is mafia he will be difficult to lynch on an ML anyway." Side tip- I usually have to lynch a mafia or I am scumread so I often bus on an ML....so that means I should be sheeped regardless of what you think my alignment is and by doing that, it will work out in your favor more often than not if you are town.

why is soda tred when all he does is isp? why is brownpimp007 tred when all he does is isp? why are so many powerful players tred when they simply isp?

heres my tip: just play a bunch of ranked games and get like 2000 games played under your belt. then in every comp game you play start to isp. people will think you are actually good town reading and then vote. its actuallyr eally easy when u think of it

Had some downtime so I figured I'd comment in this thread.

Claiming brownpimp and getting sheeped for no reason while being townread for ISPing and playing almost exclusively with my friends helps me win games.
