The point is that liking more things isn't really a good thing. You don't seem to like the post apocalyptic snow western for any particular reason so your handwaving is pretty silly.

But then again politics are also mainly entertainment so maybe I do

really the miller and bong joon-ho parallels hold up most when you compare snowpiecer with babe: pig in the city.

pig in the city is probably millers best film after fury road, it certainly beats the first mad max and i think it edges over the road warrior

honestly babe should probably replace articus flinch's place in the canon of american heroes especially now that the guy is a racist or something

of course babe isn't really an american hero, but more of a world hero hence why the big city is a combination of all cities

Snowpiercer is quite good. I don't think it's pro-authoritarian at all. That's all I have to say at this time.

Snowpiercer was ok, it was a little bit silly but it was mindless fun at times. I thought the ending was dumb though.

Snowpiercer bored me so I'm going to find every copy of it and destroy it. Including the copies inside Netflix.

quote:A recent Environics Research Group poll indicates that the Liberal Party could lose two of its safest federal Ontario seats to the NDP should an election be held now - a stunning result that comes just as an election may be launched as early as this weekend.

I am concerned about Mafia. The past few games I've opened struggled to get players (save for Clarent's Calamity where I invited ~a dozen of them, most of them non-active players), and it feels like most games opened in the past few weeks/months have similar struggles. I don't think it's from oversaturation either: votefinder is only tracking three games right now, totaling 26 players (assuming no crossovers, and I know there is probably a handful). This thread also feels quieter. There is always a drop in participation in late august/early september as people go back to school and stop playing until they get a handle on their new workloads, but this feels more severe somehow. Am I crazy? Do others feel this is the case as well? Is there a way to see what community participation was like this time in previous years? If it's true then I think we should brainstorm ways to attract new players. Historically we did GBS games once a year but those aren't really tenable anymore (or are they? I don't go there but I assume it's the same). I am also wondering how much click traffic we got through Little_Mac's banner ad last spring. Have mods who have used the TG Game Recruitment Megathread had good turnout from it? A queue system for games would also be effective at managing game flow. Would advertising on other mafia forums be fruitful? We kicked butt in the 2+2 games but afaik nobody was so impressed they shelled out $10 to join us. I dunno maybe I'm just being concerned over nothing but things just feel a lot slower lately and I worry for the longterm.

I don't think it's from oversaturation either: votefinder is only tracking three games right now, totaling 26 players (assuming no crossovers, and I know there is probably a handful). I agree with this, it definitely feels like there is a downturn in both players and activity lately. I think we need to run another GBS game. Also we need to have more role simplistic games where players feel that they have agency. Role heavy games give certain players HUGE impacts on the game, and then players expect that to happen so they just wait around for someone to either claim results or fake claim results and dont actually read the thread to gain clues through small textual discrepancies.

It is definitely quieter. And I definitely don't participate much anymore. Speaking as a mostly absentee, it's just a time factor for me and I like to be able to commit fully and participate to a high level. And I have a terrible problem of spending all day F5ing the thread in case anyone posts and it takes up all my attention and I get no work done. It's unhealthy for me to play Mafia.
