The Syndicate

Hey guys here's another thing that might be fun. The Player Archetypes from Magic the Gathering can to some extent apply to player styles for different games/gaming in general and I was just wondering if they might apply to the priorities of different mafia players and hosts.
The basic archetypes are
Spike -- just wants to win. [mention]JaggedJimmyJay[/mention] says he will do whatever it takes for his faction to win so he is probably a Spike.
Johnny -- likes clever combos.
Timmy -- likes plays that have really big effects.
Each of these has some subgroups outlined on the wiki page I linked which are more specific and I think could apply even more interestingly to mafia (use of flavor, mechanics, social interaction, etc)
There's also a separate axis of Vorthos, who cares about lore/flavor, and Melvin, who cares about mechanics.

I recommend reading some of the descriptions in the article, it's a pretty interesting approach. (Also I think Timmy is a little harder to apply to mafia, but it can definitely apply to big gambits and such)

Personally I think I lean most toward Spike but I love big plays and cool mechanical combos as well (in any type of game, not just mafia)

Additionally this TVtropes page lists these as well as a few other paradigms for classifying gamer types.

Honestly probably THE GAME. That's not really fair I guess.

there I just switched sprityo and tranq.

seriously though, I hope this doesn't offend people too much, especially those I've put in "evil" -- I assure you that's a mark of respect

I have an easy way to fix this hold on

I’m just true evil

I think I should get an unbiased opinion on this from elsewhere

Hahha I promise it's not just because of that game. I surely show some bias in these but they are based on more than superficial stuff like that (and some of them are more gameplay/meta-based while others are more general-personality-based, and many are a mix). You were one of the ones I felt less sure about though. You could maybe go chaotic neutral due to your hosting/game design style.

hope this shows up ok (the column function just doesn't work for some reason so I did it by hand lol)

now submit your complaints, protests, and suggestions :P
