BASICS How do I join a game, pl0x? Whenever you see a "Mafia Sign-Up" thread, simply go in and add your name to the list of players. If you are too late, you can always put your name down as a replacement. I personally wouldn't recommend being a replacement until you have a couple of games

In a recent game, there was a big debate on when MyLo should officially be called. In summary, there are two competing definitions:MyLo is the point in the game where if town mislynches during the day phase, then the mafia team is guaranteed to gain parity and meet their win condition during the sub

Tiny wish list on features1- Add a link for reply's to show what post someone replied to. Small bit but big thing where players constantly have to guess what someone is replying to which is rough.2- Add spoilers that cut sections of text behind a button. Small thing but huge to consolidate informati

Over the past several games, there have been issues with OGI / Angleshooting and other types of behavior. We have gotten several new players and we want to keep this momentum going. That said, if we want to keep expanding, then I do believe some of our norms need to change epecially with OGI / Angle

Over the past few games several mechanics would have been deemed bastard on sites like MS and MU. The question I want to propose is whether or not a game mod should warn players in advanced if bastard mechanics exist. Mechanics include:Alignment changing roles like cults or recruiters Games where th

So this was an old idea from DDO that I want to bring back but with a slight twist. The old version wasn’t just for mafia but the idea was you could basically send the person whose hosting the thread an anonymous message and they would post it in the thread but not post who the user who said it was.

I hope this won't be seen as influencing the ongoing game, although Kohai closed the last thread I made and I did not think that topic would be a problem.I don't like the word 'lynch' for voting someone out. Lynch has a strongly negative connotation, partially because it implies that the person was

My personal view is that I think we'll be able to assess the results better after 20-30 games, but the results seem to make more "sense" than I would have expected at this point, I guess. I considered having player votes on performance, but while I think this would improve short-term results, it int

Stop being a wimp. Don’t ever vote unless you’re voting to lynch. There has been at least 1 game in like the past 100 where this has happened, and it’s nearly every game and it sickens me.Who do you people think you are; Mr. No-Balls? When you vote to lynch, you throw down the gauntlet. You don’t pi

You’re not slick. Don’t ever vote on LYLO u less you’re voting to lynch. There have been at least 2 games in like the past 5-10 where this has happenedLiterally stop trying to be greasy and use your brain to determine who is scum before officially voting. It’s ridiculous.

This is from post #170 in day 1 of the currently running Mafia game, but I think the topic is general enough to discuss here.We're one of the few sites where flavor claiming occurs. I almost never see mass flavor claiming. But that's a separate issue completely. Besides my curiosity as to how many s
