history

- I first discovered "mafia" in October 2015. With only the most basic concepts of the game down I jumped headfirst into an extremely complex game (day-missions + a pro-town sub-faction) with an exceptional group of mostly veteran players (some of them having played for over 10 years) and BAM, I was hooked. HOOKED!
- 4 days later I went to a party with a new friend and a handful of people at the party were like "let's play werewolf!" I was like "OHFUCK YES! I just discovered it and am playing my first game online!" They'd never heard of an online version. I got 1 of them playing online once so far, he loved it and wants to play more but has a busy life.
- From there it was clear to me Werewolf was meant to be in my life.

 I prefer the term "werewolf" but "mafia" comes out more naturally - I'm working on changing that.

my game

In my first game there was the talk of "oh, so-and-so usually does that as town" or something similar and my brain went "well I have to play in a way to never let THAT sort of read get established! that seems like bad strategy" and so I've been playing with that mentality forever.

Sometimes I decide how I'm going to come at a game before it starts and stick with it, sometimes I change my mind.

Sometimes I decide how I'm going to play based on familiarity with the player-list, sometimes I change my mind.

Most times the game itself; flavor, playerlist, and overall "feel" of the game, determines for me how I approach the game.

 regardless of any of that, one thing remains constant for me game-to-game:  change

Yes, I'm still relatively new and learning more with each game and that brings about change, but I hope I never reach a point where I can become predictable.

 Predictability does NOT equal readability.
