being well-liked matters, but that's not entirely separate from skill. mafia is a social game, and if people find you agreeable, they will be less likely to lynch you, and more likely to listen to your cases. (which are things you want as both town and scum)

I think a lot of people forgot I was universally cleared day 1 for reasons having nothing to do with PRs or bucket strat.

I was literally cleared for pushing on a wolf all day 1 and lynching them.

Then day 2 I squared up scum and said I'm vig and I dare you to let me shoot, and they said sure go for it hot shot, and I shot the roleblocker.

Oh yeah that's not to mention the fact town was still listening to me day 4. Like, I ultimately pushed the wrong player that day, yes, but the players in the game were still respecting me and/or my reads and whatnot. So it's not as if I'd committed such heinous offenses that nobody wanted to work with me.

I said it before but I'll say it again, I went into the abrasiveness thing with eyes wide open. Not like I expected people to love me for gloating. The biggest reason I focused more on the wolf bias thing in my reaction posts was that was the part that was less accounted for by me ahead of time. It was relatively "new" info. Yes I knew Silver had blatantly denied that I had any legitimate tell on him, and yes I knew Centuries had the audacity to say he could reasonably see me as 8th best (convenient...) in the town during the phase right after I goaded him into letting me shoot him and before I'd gotten anything wrong - I knew those things, but I didn't know if the result would be affected much or not until all was said and done.
