charts bad, the axes don't even have anything to do with mafia, and aren't even equal things. Emotional play is a hindrance to good mafia play, whereas intellectual thinking is absolutely a stronger trait to have in a well rounded mafia game. Positive and Negative have nothing to do with mafia ability at all, and is just a weird thing to rate, especially since it is irrelevant.

At least the old chart was kind of fun, Raritys chart is pretty insulting imho

I strongly disagree with you that emotional play is a hindrance to good play while intellectual play is a plus. My big issue with the chart is that emotional play and intellectual play are not opposing play styles.

Maybe? I look at it as if it is saying you make decisions with your head, or you make decisions because you are mad/sad/whatever, where making decisions with your head is what you should do because mafia is a thinking game, and making emotional decisions is bad because that isn't how you play mafia. Sure playing emotionally can be good for making people realize you are town, but that can all be faked. Making emotional decisions in mafia is bad making intelectual decisions is good.

I think that's a one sided view of emotional. Being able to read the game emotionally is important because you can figure a lot of stuff out about people's motivations and stuff. The classic emotional player is yuming and she's renowned for her ability to read players.

Intellectual thinking has its place as well but I don't think it's strictly better. People often out think themselves or do weird stuff based on trying to logic things out.

mafia is not about logic and thinking because people arent logical and dont think when playing mafia. mafia is all about feeling.

Well when I get upset it is because I am able to understand that I was wronged immediately, without the need for conscious reasoning.

This is why getting upset is intellectual behavior.

I just look at reading emotions/motivations is an intellectual thing, not an emotional thing. I mean if we are going to call that emotional then what is actually intellectual about mafia?

I guess it goes back to what MMM said that the 2 things aren't related

Yeah I don't think it's a duality.

As an example the more emotionally invested and worked up I get in a mafia game, the easier it becomes for me to hash out the logic of the game

You can make a divide from someone who plays and goes "well if this is true then this behavior is strange and thus..." And somebody who shoots from the hip and says "there's something weird here, I don't like how JakeP posted this, it hits me weird..."

Just using the definition of intellect:

the faculty of reasoning and understanding objectively, especially with regard to abstract or academic matters; the understanding or mental powers of a particular person
