we need to bring back playing for fun, it's a mentality thing

this means also bringing back hosting for fun

be creative with your roles, create broken stuff, reinvent the wheel etc..

it makes the memes stick longer

i can't seem to recall any recent actual giga funny moment off top of my head which is not a good sign

Another problem I noticed that is likely turning people away is that many of the games erupt in arguing and hurt feelings and insults either in the middle of the game or post game people are so gun-ho about winning they forget it's just a game and having a good time is way more important than getting winning if you can't argue your point without getting heated you should step away and cool down

This has been a problem since we started mafia here Yoho, its nothing new lol.

Another cool thing that could be implented maybe have one of the major host in the community (fushi, ratchet, mango, etc etc take on a protege and train them with newer host comes newer ideas and themes

Im down to help @zenox create a Blue Lock based mafia game here. Or @Jaguark101. Or You or anyone lol.

 

[EkkoLoJinx]

@EkkoLoJinx get your video edits ready, gonna drop a game that’ll be more lit than Garou.

sure if the game was funny and meme worthy i'll even animate some stuff

Any theme which would be cool?

skibidi toilet

spoiler: that was the intended theme for ANON 2 but i got busy and never hosted it

all the players will be skibidi toilet characters instead of red, blue, yellow etc..

Hmm I've been playing pretty regularly for almost 2 years now and a good way to bring in more faces and people is to advertise it more, unless you're tagged or happen to see the sign ups post you probably won't know what it is i didn't know what mafia was first time I started playing I just happened to see Fushi's post, could have it like pinned for a couple of days (hey sign up for xxx mafia with a quick explanation on what mafia is, how to play different terms and meanings (i pretty much learned every thing through playing and asking questions)

Long reply cut short

Better advertising
Remember it's just a game
Expand the Host roster if possible

I made a sig to promote it, but the issue is that I'm not the most visible user in the greater forum

But I generally agree, promoting the section passively by inviting people to check out the section

Which is why I want dice so fucking badly, I wanna make a DnD based game but I cant right now. I will legit pay for the software myself If I have to.

Issue is I want to do that and I do, sometimes I implement a cool new mechanic here and there heck even in my Overlord game I just did that. But I dont want to go too crazy because I know people will be outraged at how crazy the game is or whatever, like I can do that stuff but if I do that I dont want people crying to me about crazy shit happening lol.

Fyi I am working on a Jojo Part 5 game with @Crying bc no Cryo so hey maybe I can experiment with that one.

 

[MangoSenpai]

Could host one of those classic bastard setups like Garou again to get new people to join tbh.

Just for the love of all that is holy, don't do the 3 Workers again

I have gotten about 4-5 people into mafia here in the last few months, Id say thats good. Like Boquise,Jaguar,Crying,etc

 

[Fujishiro]

No but seriously I can host another game like the Pokemon games on NF where Melkor got killed 18 times.

What did you say? You want 5 workers?

 

[Yoho]

Perhaps it's time we make it something old🤧

Mafia is just competitive by nature, thankfully toxicity has been down since the new rules for a few months now.

@Natalija Ima need you to promise youll play my next game, itll be Hunter x Hunter related where you create your own abilities part 2.

 

[Flower]

Poor Kvothe saw me make the roles and was too nice to stop my nefarious creations.

 

[MangoSenpai]

Fuck it, divide the player list in 3 and put everyone in a 3-man cell

 

[EkkoLoJinx]

it's the age of tiktok lads,

gotta make each role require exactly about 6 seconds to read or else it's not gonna be utilized properly

in those 6 seconds while you have the attention of the player... stand proud and cook

1 well cooked ability per player >>> 10 raw abilities per player

 

[Fujishiro]

Any theme which would be cool?

Pokemon, DBZ vs One Piece. Naruto. JJK.

Yeah nah, SRMs are thriving lol. RM is fine too but it depends on the flavor,theme and setup.

 

[Fujishiro]

This is the SRM section as you can see the numbers rise depending on the time and also more importantly theme of the game. Ekkos game had 259 pages and it ended in 2 cycles. This entire year we had good average posts per game. The engagement is there. But it seems like the community is more into SRM then RM because:

Here are the RM games from this year:

As you can see guys the engagement depends on the theme of the game ( If its anime related like OP,Naruto, or some big franchise like HP or SW it will have traction) for the most part. But yes RM games have lower pages in general then SRM its just the nature of the beast.

Now if you check the year 2023, it followed the same trend, OP games and or unique games where say you create your own role or I create your character? Boom engagement, normal RM game? Slower engagement. I am talking strictly about RM here because for SRM things didnt really change too much. Games in the SRM section vary from 400 or so pages to 800 depending on the setup and time its played.


TLDR: Hosting big profile SRM games generates engagement as is hosting well known themes for RM. The rest will get lower engagement as the players will engage less with the flavor.​

@EkkoLoJinx read this, I want your thoughts. You too @MangoSenpai

 

[EkkoLoJinx]

@EkkoLoJinx read this, I want your thoughts. You too @MangoSenpai

think SRMs have more posts because there r day actions and more stuff to talk about + more number of players + dead active players often times resub back + the acceptable amount of fluff in them is generally larger

post count in of itself isn't a great measure of engagement imo, it's usually inflated by 20% of the players

🤔 has there ever been. Mafia game where everyone is a serial killer

🤔Win con- kill your target and be the last survivor
