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.

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.

Look in this subforum which is full of these games. Here is a previous one if you can't decide which one to click on: https://old.ppy.sh/forum/t/552912

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)

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

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 :\

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

IDK. Maybe it's just that no one cares about it anymore. I've played a couple rounds in other forums though.

Just an advice, don't say that in France. Trust me. Everyone plays or played this. Oh and yeah it's called werewolf (loup-garou), not mafia.
