Mostly this, then you defended yourself by "I don't like how people accuse players because they are good and haven't died yet or they are quiet so find more reasons please"
The fact is you WILL be targeted by the mafia if your a good player. You WILL be accused if your being quiet. And I find it very weird that you haven't died yet.
My vote stands.
Not Necessarily.
It wasn't as much as a defense, as I was not being accused of or argued against in that time and circumstance,
but more of an opinionated response to what was being discussed during that time period.
Again, as I stated before, it is a personal opinion I've had grown over the period of these forum Mafia games.
It's mainly stemmed from back when those who have played a quiet role in games back when I first joined into these forum games in Mafia Season 2, and has been somewhat apparent in the Mafia Seasons afterwards.
The fact is: This idea of "skilled players" has only come into focus this season due to actions formed last season.
We shouldn't just base our thoughts on singular examples that honestly, occurred by chance during last, and past seasons, as was the case with Defiant.
Again, as I stated in my elongated post on the previous page of this thread: I do dislike the idea of people soley having an outlook of "this player is quiet and/or considered skilled" as a means of lynching players off.
I found it to be a shoddy, biased form of an outlook on how the game works. Unless there was some proper evidence or suspicions brought through discussion, I don't really find arguments using these forms to base themselves on very reliable.
How is a player even supposed to defend themselves against accusations of being a Mafia when the only idea being forced down their throats by the prosecution is; "You have been to quiet this Mafia game," or "you are very good at this game."
It's a one-sided argument, and leaves a lot of be desired in terms of ideas to actually back up such claims.
If this was to be the case in which we actually decided our lynching format, then perhaps players falling under this category shouldn't even play Mafia in the first place.
Perhaps, because I, or Darth, or Sploorky, Jolteon, or etc who have been dubbed "skilled" or "quiet" should just stop playing in any further installments of Mafia because we obviously will all die in the first few days; and if not, then we obviously will just be Mafia in the end.
What is the point in playing if that will just end up being the case in the eyes of the other players?
I won't even have as much of a chance to really discuss anything properly or even look out for possible suspects if I, and other players will just be bombarded with said accusations of "being to quiet" or "being very skilled" in certain aspects.
This idea goes for players even if they are the Mafia or not.
If this must be the idea that so presently holds certain players, perhaps I will simply not participate in any more Mafia games if this must be so.
The thing is: Mafia, as I have stated so many times before, is a game where our roles are RANDOMIZED. We do not know whom is whom, and unless we find good ideas to base ourselves on instead of rudimentary ideas already set in place such as "quietness" and "being skilled," and even other categories people can fall under like "being less skilled/mediocrity" (hate those terms, especially in Mafia games), or "people who talk just enough or people who discuss a lot."
We should not focus on these categories, because there is no evidence behind them.
We should focus on people whom we deem suspicious through their actions, and any ideas you might have that can lead to possible suspects, in which we can actually find some ideal evidence or suspicions to back those ideas up upon.
I do not have a defense against that claim, because I do not need one in my opinion.
What I have stated here continues my opinion which I have created for myself from the following page, and other posts of similar interest.
If in any case, it was to shed more light upon the idea in question.
So, If I must be suspected on an opinion and ideal I currently have set myself upon and that I do dislike;
If I must be suspected on an opinion;
Then so be it.
