There's no "Tina!"
@AL sama @Dragomir and whoever is modding the section. is it possible to have games that r ranked and games that arent? so a game thats ranked is meant to be more competitive, more balanced, and more punishing to excessive inactivty/fluffing/bad behavior/excessive drama/angle shooting/excessive language/toxicity/crying or anything that ruins the spirit of the game.
I mean what you mentioned shouldn't be allowed in regular games either. That's the whole reason for the annoyance with Weebs. Also, I think the way we are now is more than enough. I reckon most players here don't play for any sort of prestige or achievement that "ranked" games would give.

Letting games be more chill will be welcoming of newer players and all the variety of reasons that people play mafia for imo.
whereas the normal games would be more lenient, more beginner friendly and generally more chill/more for fun rather than competitive. here hosts can try new setup ideas or w.e they want as well.

ranked game will count toward ur year record or w.e system that we can develop. unranked games dont count.

i will shift more to a host than a player for the rest of the year so if this idea is welcomed we can start working on making rules and regulations for it. are yall down?
I'm fine with the way things are, though. Also, good luck transitioning into a host. Looking forward to your games~
 
to you guys and anyone thats thinking of leaving @Zemmi @MUUGEN @Bortolomeo

would u atleast care to join every once in awhile to play really big games and just have fun with it with 0 tryharding? hope this isnt too much too ask. ik every needs a break here, i do too. id like it if we don't let external things get in the way of the community we built for years.

u guys are all OG players really. you have been playing this for awhile. its understandable that you are tired and arent feeling the same as u used to when u started it. there r lots of newer players here about to fill in ur shoes and experience this stuff for their first time. it will be really nice to play in every once in awhile to have that fresh feeling of playing with newer faces again and share ur experiences with the newer folks.

none will pressure u to it. the site is open for everyone and everyone is welcomed to come play when they have some time to do so. subs will always be there if u r unable to stick with the game or keep up. we can force players to play but we can never force someone to have fun. if u really really arent having fun then sorry about that. i am really not sure how to fix that, but i and the whole community will try our best to keep this as fun and fair as possible for everyone

enjoy your breaks guys, well done throughout the years. until next time :cheers:
I am not quitting lol
I just came back from long break and I have plans to also host a game which everyone of u biches should play lol
 
You guys also need to do something so that it’s more appealing to the new players. In the last couple of games, Worst and Thuru has been the only new faces to even step in. If older members are leaving then we will need more members to play with. I think light games are a good option to get them into the feel of the game before plunging them into role madness mania.
That and maybe awards

I think awards would make games more interesting and fun
And less intense @mods

I also like faster games like turbos
Think they are good way to start

I don't think it's about playstyle and I don't think it's about "wanting to win at any cost", whatever that is supposed to mean. It's a time-intensive game and the nature of it means that more often than not you'll end up frustrated either due to not being listened to or paranoia that you see as excessive, and so on. The game is also pretty competitive and it's obviously disheartening to have invested a lot of time and energy into something and to lose especially if you happened to play well through it.

That being said, we should probably move away from this idea that "I play to have fun, you play for ego/to win etc" which is a sentiment that seems to be creeping. It's important to remember that everyone has different ideas of what is fun. Some people like to use Mafia to chat with people, some people like to use it to debate without the consequences of debating real-life topics, others like to test reactions and lean into the psychological aspect of the game. As long as you're not actively sabotaging the game then it's all valid.

Disagreements and arguments are going to happen. It's a game where you can other people liars and that naturally will result in tension and nobody really likes to feel nitpicked and cross-examined. So it's important to try and keep what happens in the game, within the game.

I don't think having special "ranked" games will help anything. People should be allowed to be as competitive as they want, as long as there is an effort to play the game then it should even be encouraged. In terms of "punishing" players that don't even try to play, it's a fine line. If you pull them too quick then you set a standard where no one will be able to play in 6 months, and obviously if you enable it other players get frustrated. I think to say there are no attempts to try and resolve this is blatantly untrue - we've literally just seen a player get permanently banned from playing here.

Players leave and go all the time. No one likes to see it, but it's a perfectly natural thing. Everyone has their own reasons, and if it's no longer enjoyable then of course the obvious thing to do would be to stop playing. I think acting as if it's some kind of death knell though is misleading - we've just had a game where there were over 50 players playing, and managed over 45k posts which breaks just about every activity record this place, the other place and OJ ever had, and some are acting as if the community is in shambles. "In shambles" should be reserved for the likes of my home site OPB, where before it closed went almost a year with no Mafia and when it did have a game it was a struggle to get 5 players together - on a site that once could fill 30 player games on the regular.

If there is one more thing I would add to this, it's the "standards" we seem to have for what constitutes as "active". On the aforementioned OPB, a game with 1k-2k posts was considered a rampant success. Here, a game with that amount might be considered inactive and slow. I don't think that's very fair - everyone likes to post at different rates and making 100 posts in 24 hours shouldn't be the expectation or the minimum standard. That's not to say that those who do make 100+ posts in a Day Phase should be shamed for it either - both camps are entitled to play however they want. There will obviously be some concessions here and the trend is that those who like to post fewer times are often drowned out more easily, but that's just the way it goes. I just believe we could with less of dragging the more inactive players when by no means are they actually "inactive".

That's basically all I can think of to say on this. The TL;DR is that accepting how other people approach it goes both ways - playing "quirky" doesn't mean you're the only one who knows how to have fun, and activity "standards" are getting a bit silly. That is all.
I honestly couldn't have said it any better then this

thanks ratchet

I have only one question...why do people make a fuss about someone saying they quit? Borto said a year ago he quits, I said a year ago I quit. We still here. Ya all dont know how mafia works huh...mafia players are renownly known to say stuff which they take back anyway. Most people just say it to convey a message and the message clearly is "I am burnt out! Leave me be ningen!".

We went from a handful of players to another legendary weeb game that broke all records of numbers a previous weeb game had. We clearly did something right there and we def are growing so no clue what ya ningens saying. You guys are too much used to see complain because you guys realize when you skim over the OP discussiom threads here, its 99% only complain or unjustified cririque, aka clownfiesta. Ya all should put down the clown fake nose and show us your true nose.

Stop making drama, even I said I will play less and only troll. Oh, I said it before weebs and I trolled weebs and I gave correct reads and I connected the dots correctly. The message I convey is that I had fun and contributed, like literally almost everyone just everyone in their different ways. Thats the beauty of having such a community.

Maybe 4 people did quit. Doesnt mean that 4 people won't restart in future.

Now lets talk about beautiful things, like the upcomming high quality hololive game that ya all are anticipating like fuck. :funky:

Nicely said lol. Everyone needs a break every now and then. Doesn't mean they leave forever.
