Info from previous games

This forum is for discussion related to the game.

Is it okay to use info from previous games?

Of course, you should do this all the time.

Sure, when you think it'll help the side your on.

Absolutely not, doing this is like using Crap Logic.

I read that second option though as keeping quiet when your mafia buddy is acting differently, which I don't think you should do if keeping quiet in turn marks you out as acting differently by not picking up on the mafia dude
Well, in that case, it wouldn't be helping the side your on, so you wouldn't do it according to the second option. But really, few enough people put this much thought into the games that they're in that I would be very surprised if someone were accused of being on a team with someone
because
they didn't mention that the other person was acting funny. Only one person can be the first to notice it in each case.

That's why the thread with all our pictures in it was so freaky...I had totally different pictures for all of you.

Electra was a good example of this. Time Travel Mafia was her first game on the site and we were co-mafita together. In PMs, she made very astute points about how it might be best to proceed, whereas her posts in the thread were like "How do I vote?" and "Ooo..mafia...sounds like fun..." and "Hee hee! I'm a girl!" :) She didn't get a vote on her for two full days.

But now we all know she's evil every time. :)

Good point, DP. Perhaps an even more directly applicable example is that each individual grandmaster has their strengths and weaknesses and play particular openings more frequently than others. I guarantee you that every time there's a grandmaster game occuring, each side is well-versed with the strengths, weaknesses, and opening choices of his/her opponent.
