All right, so I submit to the consensus regarding mod-killing and replacements. Sounds good to me.

I think that was the major sticking point and I'll gladly make my game the guinea pig for that effort.

Dead thread: I say give each player the option of joining the dead thread or being an alternate for the other game(s) if necessary.

Shall we proceed to recruitment?

Also, I would appreciate it if Kark and/or MattyG would publicly give me a thumbs up or a middle finger regarding my setup. Either way is fine, I'd just appreciate it :p

Yeah could I also get the finger for my setup?

I mean, a thumps up/thumbs down from respective Mafia connoisseurs and veterans?

I think the vast majority of our player-base were totally new to forum mafia, so I'm pretty sure it is. This thread might be a bit technical as we discuss setups and so on, but that's not relevant to someone who just wants to play for the first time rather than moderate; then it's pretty easy - I'm sure the others will attest to that.

Just to clarify, I actually played forum Mafia on Smogon a looooooong time ago. Like 9 years ago. I'm new to GAF mafia though, but I imagine it functions more or less the same.

Count me in!
Really hoping for Archer!!!
And LoC i think some people that were on the replacement list would still be interested in joining.

That was my first online mafia game, and only like my second or third mafia game overall. (It was years ago that I played.)

I actually haven't played THAT much forum mafia, <10 games, but I've played a ton of mafia over video, live mafia,
and uncountable games of town of salem which is stupid easy because everyone's retarded, there's no discussion, and town is flooded with information. I managed to farm up enough coin to buy most of the stuff at one point

I am suspicious of squidj based on this post alone. He claims to have played less than 10 mafia games but has played a ton of presumably live mafia games (?).

He's suspicious so

All I can say at this stage is that my powers requires certain conditions to be triggered.

Additionally, you seem too eager and smells faintly of delicious things O)__(O

Untickle for now

Are in a PG-13 Mafia game airing on the Disney Channel??

Sorry I haven't been keeping up with this thread too much; I got back from Comic Con on Sunday and have been cramming for tests ever since. So are we looking to do Archer for a fact, then? And if so, will it be one huge game or Archer and something else, like Blarg's proposed Gravity Falls one?
Click to expand...

Just to note, Gravity Falls Mafia is RetroMG's, not mine ;) (ooooo, if I'm in that game and I don't get Mabel or Aoshima... ooooooo)


My own game proposal is Roller Coaster Tycoon Mafia for Season 4 :D

Oh, don't you worry, Blarg, I've been thinking a lot about you while I've been setting up my game. How good ARE you at lines and boxes? It might be important.

Also: Aoshima? The thing Mabel rides while she's high on Smile Dip?

I volunteer drafted Blarg as a co-mod and submitted the worst possible concept for a game out of no where earlier.

This is something for my own curiousity.

If I said I softed my role in the AC game how many of you would know what I meant and what action I was referring to?

If I say town is in LyLo, what does that mean? If I say town is in MyLo what does that mean?

I'm debating putting my name down for the next round of games, but I'm also afraid I'll capitulate and lose all of my sanity in the process.

Maybe I don't need my sanity...

Same. Though obviously the LyLo and MyLo scenarios are known possibilities but I have never seen them given terms like that.
Click to expand...

This too. Mylo/Lylo have came up before, but without knowing exact Mafia numbers it's all been estimates. "If there are 6 Mafia a mislynch will end the game."

Soft claiming is interesting though. What would be an example of that? Roleclaiming alignment without specific role details?

and we always have a house rule that you cannot read your role card to anyone either, since even the phrasing can be pretty telling.

So using my example above, and assuming it was my ACTUAL role, and not a lie, would it be okay to copy/paste a section without quoting?

Hey guys, I'm a Bothan Spy. This is what my win condition says: You win when <name> survives the game and their faction wins.

Edit: Few others posted. I don't think anyone will disagree with players paraphrasing stuff. I'm fine with it if that's where we draw the line. There's just a little too much gray area CURRENTLY.
Click to expand...

Honestly, this will always be a grey area. The main point of this rule is to prevent boring "MattyG types slightly differently to that, so you're lying!" technicalities that just aren't fun. I don't really think there's any way to enforce this strictly, it's really just a matter of sportsmanship. If you straight CP'd the whole role PM, I'd modkill you in my games to make a point. If you CP'd the win condition, I'd frown at you but probably leave it. Players and moderators will just have to use their judgement.
