I've watched anime since April 2015 and manga from that same Summer, discounting when I was younger and watched Pokémon and Tokyo Mew Mew (which I watched not knowing that it was an anime). The first anime I knowingly watched was Ouran High School Host Club and the first manga was Fairy Tail, which now has a special place in my heart. Bakuman, however, was the anime that really convinced me to watch much more anime, Fairy Tail being what I picked up at a library close to where I live, then sent me onto reading a lot more manga.
I'm monolingual, currently studying Computer Science, Philosophy and Sociology at A-Level. I have GCSEs in Music (D), Business Studies (B), IT (A), Science Core and Additional (both A), English Language (7) and Literature (6), Mathematics (7), Computer Science (A*) and Geography (A). I'm hoping to study Human, Social and Political Sciences at Cambridge University, failing that Sociology at the University of Manchester or University of Warwick.

Mafia Tip #15: Shading
Quite often, in mafia games, you may encounter terms or expressions that you don't understand. To appease this frustration, this section titled "Mafia tips" will introduce you to some of the mafia terms and such that might help you speak on the same level as some other players. Hopefully, not only you will be more knowledgeable but you will also be able to use these tips in the games!
The subject of this month is Shading! Shading is a situation when someone is trying to accuse a player of being mafia.
How is it done?
Shading is different than simply accusing someone of being mafia.
A player will casually or informally mention someone, making their posts looks scummy.
This is done either directly or indirectly, though most of the time the player will be distant.
Example
Shading is almost always a mafia tactic. It's scummy, basically.
Sometimes, it's easy to catch someone throwing shade, other times not so much since townies can also make a such a post.

Join these fellas and be part of the astronauts that helped save the human species... or join the other side and eliminate the human race. Sign-up here!

Watch as they squirm about the cramped space to hog the treasure and be the last pair standing. Spectate here!
Mafia Tip #14: Modgaming
Quite often, in mafia games, you may encounter terms or expressions that you don't understand. To appease this frustration, this section titled "Mafia tips" will introduce you to some of the mafia terms and such that might help you speak on the same level as some other players. Hopefully, not only you will be more knowledgeable but you will also be able to use these tips in the games!
The subject of this month is Modgaming! Modgaming is analysis of a game based on who the mod is. For example, "Osie is the mod, and he likes Friendly Neighbours, so a Friendly Neighbour is a role that makes sense for this game."
Why does it matter?
If the game is closed setup and a player is analyzing it and backing up "evidences" to say facts about the set-up that players could never confirm unless they ask the mods, then it is modgaming.
Examples
Player A: "This role can do this, this, this and that because the host told me."
Player B: "This set-up definitely has 3 mafia because it is more balanced" <- though it is not necessarily modgaming but the player is putting their shoes as the host
Is modgaming a good thing, or bad?
Setupgaming, trying to figure out what the setup is and analysing what you know about the setup separately from the players, is not exclusively bad strategy, but it is very easy to get into wine. Some find it to be a fair strategy though the reliability of modgaming is usually NAI.
Behavior is important, mechanical analysis based solely on what is known is important, and then other factors come afterwards.
On the upside, it has distinct benefits for town or anti-town.
For either side, if you know about the mod's dislike or like for a particular role, you can interpret claims, you can falseclaim, and, in turn, you can gamesolve, more reliably.
For town, you can make a guess at what sort of roles scum might have. This is particularly relevant when the game has reveals, as the town can often say "Well the mod wouldn't put 2 of X role in the hands of scum."
For scum, this is actually harder and easier at the same time. On the one hand, it can make targets easier to choose, and it can help to guess at what roles town is hinting at. On the other hand, it can lead to some bad decisions, like killing a weak role with a nightkill rather than focusing on someone else, or having trouble finding a better role to claim because not as many roles mesh with your role out of things the mod would choose.
In terms of downside for town, it's so non-alignment indicative, and it can look like good analysis even when it isn't.
