People often complain about getting "n1'ed" but it's usually a fearkill, often aimed at players of perceivably higher skill level. So is fearkilling a legit strat?

my personal strategy for deciding who to kill n1:

are they a new player?
yes: give them a chance

did they join the game early?
yes: let them play

did they die n1 in a previous game?
yes: give them a break

otherwise
kill them

Fearkilling works. I kill Jamal n1 everytime because he just random FOS you and now it's up to you to defend yourself, even if you're a town. But hey, now the mafia knows your role.


I don't randomly FOS anyone. I say I locate the mafia and that is exactly what I do.

If I am a member of the town my goal is to locate the mafia. If the mafia is clear to me, why should I stay silent?

I do not FOS town unless they make themselves look suspicious. Do not make yourself look suspicious and I will not FOS you.

if the pie is based solely off of bakerswag wins then using it as a basis for killing might not be the best idea :^)

N1 me if you agree I am the best player. You can make up other excuses if you want.

Town always loses when I get N1d, so it's pretty obvious mafia figured out that fearkilling works.

This is why deck games are really good to prevent OGI related starts but everyone writes them off as a role playing feature. 'Member color maf?


People still do this and when I played a color maf ranked it made me extremely happy because I didn't know which player had 100,000 points and which one had 2,000. If I did I would've fearkilled instantly.

I often get fearkilled, it's sad. I too am just trying to enjoy the game and win, so do not fearkill me.

In Sandbox? Everything's fair game.
In Main? Frowned upon but not illegal.

You weed out the people who have a history of taking sandbox games seriously by scumhunting mafia (which can lead to your death). I mean, you would kill a vigilante as mafia, wouldn't you? Well, this is no different - you just kill the people who are a threat to your winning. If you kill randomly how do you expect to win?

Remember kids:

If you don't kill Golbolco, she WILL kill you if given the chance.


Only you, actually.
