Controversial Venting Thread - Mafia Edition

I can't really judge you from your performance in the last game here as you've been an indie with a hard-to-achieve wincon but if you want to have any chance in champs to advance or at least leave a good impression you should be aware that champs is not mech-heavy and it is required to be actively participating and solving. I say it out loud, Worstgen is a weak mafia community, most of the other reps are used to play in communities with higher standards. It's like in One Piece, Luffy can only become stronger by facing strong opponents, that's a big disadvantage because you can barely evolve as a mafia player in Worstgen as strong players have become rare in this forum.
Idk whats considered a strong player tbh everyone has their strengths and weaknesses but I volunteered for Champs mostly for the experience and a chance to meet others from different communities that I might one day want to try mafia on, I have no delusions that i'll win it all, if I do lucky me if I don't I'm just glad I got the experience weather i last 1 game or 100 games
 
The worst thing is, and it's not only a WG thing, is that people don't punish inherently scummy behaviour.

Let's say player A always plays scummy on D1 and D2 because of how they post and approach the game, even as town.

It is my good right to call this out and lynch player A because of it, even when they are town and have people vouch for them because of "meta".

Scummy behaviour/playstyle is being rewarded here instead of being policed, which is quite bad.

And sometimes you have to weed out town with mislynches before you progress to find mafia.
It would be so better if this weeding out process would happen less frequently because people in general play townier rather than wolfier as town.

I know there are people who won't like it because they would end on the chopblock every single game. No need to namecall anyone, but yeah it is what it is. Lol.

Cheese for everyone!
Hate me all you want but this playerbase here is so messed up, when (more than) half of the town players aren't even trying to win and are making themselves unreadable every single game then you know right at the moment you receive your role PM and it says that you rolled town you're screwed right from the start. To me that's not acceptable, as the few players who put in actual effort as town and want to win games, apparently aren't allowed to have any fun in Worstgen mafia games. And no, auto-losing games because nobody (from what was supposed to be your team) cares about their wincon is no fun at all. At the current state Worstgen mafia has hit rock bottom.
A few bad apples won’t rot the basket, also nobody hates you.
 
Good question actually.

Better one would be why I even tried to write about this topic in the first place. No matter what I say, nothing is gonna change here, people like Fuji will only be sugarcoating all of this and encourage bad play. If I'd be signing up for his Pokemon game which would be coming next (I will not) it's so obvious I'd just experience the same shit all over again. Takes one look at the player list and you can immediately see that this is gonna be another game where almost nobody cares and the few exceptions are gonna get screwed over again.
