well this new site design isn't exactly conducive to mafia

day time chat is happening in forum posts
PM's are involved as well as far as moderation and role actions are concerned
mafia night time chat and dead chat is done over at https://www.quicktopic.com (example dead chat from previous game)
mafia to me is a lot harder to play when there's a ton of bells and whistles attached to every post
it was bearable before because the site was otherwise really plain and familiar, but I really don't think I would be able to keep my focus on a game on it the way it is, I'm sorry
it was hard enough as it is on the ToL forums and that was before the endless spam since it was essentially a forum/instant messaging hybrid
Probably because if we remove this topic, the mafia subforum isn't used since 1 year
it's very inactive tho

Sadly.
the proportion of pippy's hand and her body/head is quite huge.
Also where is this new site design? I still have the "old" one I assume, since nothing changed for me.

Here you go. This is the new website leading to this thread. You can explore from here, if you want.
anyone interested?
do ppl even still play
we can start playing again
Our game got abandoned I’m so sad
I'm kind of surprised this place still gets posts occasionally, tbh.
shameless self-promotion on the top post in the subforum, what could go wrong.
I'm hosting a mafia game ft. mostly osu!/ex-osu! people. it'll be open setup because I got a specific request to make a noob-friendly game. the intent is to start off on approximately the 25th of June, but this is a hesitant early guess and might change depending on interest and people's availability. theme is cyberpunk, just to make it a bit more fun.
game is hosted off-site because I can't handle the new layout and because of certain GMing/moderation concerns: https://forums.tuuba.moe/viewtopic.php?pid=43142 everyone is welcome, just register for an account if you don't have one yet. please do try to be active though, inactivity kills the game.
e: game's started, but we do tend to host mafias at least twice a year (more can always be negotiated), which might be better than the current state of affairs on this subforum. for now you can sit back and enjoy the action, though.

The necro gods have blessed me. Come forth and raise from the grave, o' dying subforum.
it has been done
There is some renewed interest in Mafia coming from https://osu.ppy.sh/forum/t/852852 and I would like to see a game in here as there once was long ago. So far we have
Mod: Sakura
Death might also join if we get a party going.

Hmm..
I think I get the gist of things about this game but how exactly would we be playing? Like, is everything happening in forum posts? Are there PM's involved as well? Etc.

I can mod if needed, but I dont want to have to replace like half the playerlist midway through the game, I hope people can stick around.
Fingers crossed

Also it just occurred to me that Death is the only one here who can't double post because moderators are forced to use new site
not sure how to go about this

wow I should set up a notifier whenever this forum goes back live, I thought of playing a mafia game recently 
oh wow.
We should try and get another game going. That last one was really fun.
waiting until mid/end of may
I am assuming everyone is going to get busy in the upcoming weeks with finals and such

Ahh I wish I could actually dedicate enough time to play a game of mafia for old times sake.
Racking up interest. I am aiming to begin a game somewhere between June 8 and 15 whenever I gather enough people. Post below saying you want /in if you want to play
Tally so far:

Looking for 4 more people, after which I'll start pinging older folks to get onto the bandwagon. I'm looking at a game with ~10 people.
Also date might need to be pushed back a week or two :\

RIP abraker's mafia game
I'd get overgamed if i play this now.
Should've gotten enough people earlier.

Added. I think that's enough people, but more can always join in the game thread before it begins. Game thread itself will be up in the next week or two (likely 3-4 days after OT!Execution Chapter 3 releases).

Im not overgamed anymore so i guess i can.
I think we have enough people now.
K0j, Penguin, Kyomaku might have changed status since, we could technically be down to 7 people
send out some feelers to make sure people are still up for it
btw do we really have to play with this awful layout?

Is this ever going to happen?
Maybe i should stop refreshing these forums.
Seems like this is never happening in the end.
Guess osu!mafia is dead at this point.

Well the window I was planning for has passed. We'll try for winter break.
I regret participating in the mafia championship. I was really reluctant to go for anything mafia related after that. Too overkill.

Looks like oldppysh doesn't work on forums anymore
I'm no longer interested if that is the case, sorry

Peppy killed the old site. And with it, people's interest in abraker's Mafia game.
Yeah with this style i doubt i'll play.
I get that the new site isn't as good as the old one, I am anoyed by it's removal as well. But how does the style change the game of mafia?
All that said, I know some people are making a stylesheet to reproduce the old site so by the time the game starts you should be able to play with the old style.

so double posting is back. All is left is to get Katoumegumi's webskin so this feels more like the old forums and I think we might be good to go.
what about the new forums makes Mafia hard to play? if there are issues here, they might be relevant to all forums.
A lot of older folks play mafia and are used to old design.
Also infinite scrolling is intimidating on threads with hundreds of posts. It blurs all the posts into a never ending stream. It makes harder to navigate to specific posts you are not sure the location of. With pages you could roughly guesstimate what page the post occurred on based on maybe a 4-6 page range you think it can be on, and you can find it a bit faster because you vaguely remember it's either around top, middle, or bottom of page. With infinite scrolling, if it's post 367 out of 500+ you prob going to aim for the 300's ballpark. You better hope you don't tirelessly scroll past it or you either need to check 100 posts again or start doubting whether it's really a 300's post.
Also is there a way to filter by all posts a user made in a thread? There was this feature on old forums, albeit via crafted url.
It would also help if you can limit post search to a specific thread in addition to user.

mafias definitely getting removed soon lmao
we can still revive
How many player do we have right now, Is it still 11 as in the last edit? If so we might want to start the game right now since we are in quarentine. I know 11 player is not ideal but if we can't get the game going in a quarentine I don't think we will ever do it.
I think it's more like 6 now. I expect half not to be available anymore or lost interest

Man, I've always wanted to play Mafia, but the Starmen.net forums haven't put one on for at least a year. Maybe the mods on this forum could put on a nice one for beginners I can jump on. I think I know the rules reasonably well enough to play...
I applied for a game of mafia like a year ago and it has still not happened. Some people have been waiting for even longer than me.
i wanna apply too
i love these kinds of games. i spent like 150 hours playing town of salem

I got really lucky that I was actually active in OT when we had that one game a year or two ago. People just don't seem interested in actually putting in the effort to play a game of mafia. Would rather post once every few hours to get necro points.
Mafia is already dead when I got here.
