I didn’t study every single post no, I went back looking for the ones that I remembered as sticking out to me. Looking back over the Day around this post, I notice that you called it out as one you really liked, so I can see why you would want my thoughts. So let’s get to it. > [@Mafia Reunion Day 4](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-reunion-day-4/778699/102): > > I thought I was done tonight.

At the time of the vote, Boozy only had one other vote. He would of course go on to be lynched. This would indicate to me that if EnderW is scum, he’s likely Mafia as there is no evidence of much bussing occurring, and the set up itself discourages it. For the rest of it, this seems like a situation of a disagreement in fundamental approach. That is, for some people the important part of Mafia is winning. For that type of person, being lynched doesn’t matter as long as their team wins. Anything that doesn’t strictly increase their odds of winning has no value. For others, Mafia is much more about the actual playing. Anything that lets them stay alive longer and play more is better. Obviously most people fall somewhere in between those two extremes. They want to win, but they also don’t want to die too early. Given the desire to survive so that one can keep playing, defensiveness makes sense. As such, I disagree with him that people shouldn’t care about cases made against them. I find that responding to cases and interacting with them is one of my strengths as a player, and if the case is about me all the better since I know my own motivations. Overall? It makes me think he isn’t a Wolf, but does not give me any reason to ignore the other posts he’s made, leaving me thinking he’s likely Mafia. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-reunion-day-5/779271)._
