what about the new forums makes Mafia hard to play? if there are issues here, they might be relevant to all forums.

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
I am still waiting until we resume games again.
the forum layout is very hard to play mafia in
I'll /in the next one for sure though.
Perhaps someone could host Think Twice? It's a quicker nightless format for 5 players, should probably fill, it's played over 1 to 3 day phases. /Shrug
https://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Think_Twice
Day phases of 48 or 72 hours would work, you could disable hammer except for on day 3, perhaps?
All in all, this should usually end within the week it started, rather short game.
I actually run a 500 people-ish big mafia community, so I might just invite a person or two, who knows. No promises of course.
I've been wanting to try a forum based mafia game for a long while now, I never got into it cause I always played on Discord.
I could easily run that, or anything. But I'd much rather play (:
Or since there are only 2 mafias out there, probably pm is acceptable?
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.
maybe we can revive one day.YyottaCat wrote:

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

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.ClevelandsMyBro wrote:

Yes
Last game ended so time to talk what's next. I know igor has an exotic setup he wants to try, and Sakura was mentioning of a game a month back (community/forums/posts/8224845).
i don't mind if we play sakura's game first
where is sakura?
/summon
/summon
I was sleeping
There didnt see to be much interest in a mountainous game so i'll just Host a Normal instead for a change. It'd take far longer to design a theme.
Because people don't have common sense I have added the following to the rules
Do NOT post in on-going game threads you are not participating or are actively dead in.

- When an elimination has ocurred before the end of the day, the game enters twilight phase, during this time all players including the eliminated one may continue to post until I post the death scene and end the day, from then on the eliminated player is considered dead and cannot post.
- , but i allow a single contentless Bah post.
single and only from the dead player
Seriously it's disrespectful to post in threads you're not a part of or no longer a part of (due to dying or replacing out). If the bah post thing is what's making ppl post i'll happily take it out.
thank you abraker. it was getting really annoying and confusing having random people chime in.abraker wrote:

Did this place die again
Well my Upick was super townsided and scum still managed a flawless win, but yes I can see how town is "too braindead".
yea new peeps dont seem to have the critical thinking skills older folks have
yeah, I meant to say that games are mafia sided because town is braindeadSakura wrote:

So maybe we make a thread on how really to be town and find scum.Penguin wrote:

Pretty sure there's a thread about it made by GIF a long time ago.
I also linked some guides from MafiaScum on some games I played here.

Just at least trying to think is more than enough
you're never going to get better at playing town if you never even try
you're never going to get better at playing town if you never even try
Lets run another NewD3.
Is there still interest in mafia games, i could try and host something if enough people are going to play.

If it was straight up accessible from the main forums then there would probably be more people.
that's a pretty good ideaYyottaCat wrote:

We should host a new one since the new fags would probably be interested
I think I would give it a try. Not sure whether the newly made-up prodding rules work, though.

Okay, I may be ready to set one up! The only issue remaining is that since I don't have access to discord, there might be some trouble to set the mafia pt up.Lunexia wrote:

Hi, just set this up! community/forums/topics/1771564?n=1
looks like this place has revived. But I have missed the two last game 
No worry, I can set up any setups as long as it doesn't include a pt of more than 2 playerssamX500 wrote:

Anyone interested in a ADOFAI flavoured Fire and Ice?
I need a backup/co mod and 13 players, which may be hard to find honestly.
I need a backup/co mod and 13 players, which may be hard to find honestly.
Setup
2 Fire Mafia Goons
2 Ice Mafia Goons
6 Townies
1 Doctor
1 One-shot Fire immune Townie
1 One-shot Ice immune Townie
Mechanics
Daystart
The nightkill of the Fire Mafia and the Ice Mafia will fail if both groups of mafia target the same person.
The mafia groups have a factional one-time bulletproof.
Fire Mafia kills and Ice Mafia kills have different kill flavor (i.e. the moderator will make it clear which Mafia team was responsible for each kill).
Daytalk enabled
I just made some edits to the original setup, anyone here to give a review on it pls?

I feel like this is a good guide that new players should read.
If you dont like the wiki colors you can check the original forum post with fancier formatting here:
https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?t=84028
While it focuses on how to play as mafia, it also enphasizes the social dynamics the game is all about and i think everyone could learn something from it. Even if you're not rolling Red.
