Playing as Mafia - A Guide with Flavor

[Bell]

Thank you. I'm not particularly looking to improve my mafia play (though perhaps if I'm a better mafia player I'd be able to identify who they are when I'm town). But you capture a lot of the social dynamics and concepts that is typical to a seasoned scum game.

Possibly unrelated, but have you ever aTe'd a pocket or placed them under pressure not to vote you in an elo situation? For example, "I'll never forgive you if you vote me in elo, you should know what my alignment is by now. Just vote the other guy." I've pretty much decided beforehand where my boundaries lay when it comes to this and just won't do this as either alignment, but I'm curious is there's a way not to fray relationships when you lean on a pocket like that.
