Played ~15 micromafia games by chat. There are 3 players: 2 townspeople, 1 mafia. They last under 2 minutes, for there is only 1 lynch: if the 2 townspeople lynch the mafia, the town wins and mafia loses; if a mafia and one townsperson lynch the other townspeople, the mafia wins and the town loses. And then new roles are sent out and a new game is begun. Sometimes roles are basic, sometimes roles are connected, sometimes random. Sometimes it comes down to skillful gambits, sometimes a lucky guess. There is no history, no night.

This is so symbolic: the reason we can’t play a game is because we might have fun.
