I agree about the lurking and shitposting tbh, it's fun to joke around and be light-hearted during joke phase and throughout the games, but when you have a certain mix of players in a game sometimes it just turns into: lets lynch this guy, then this guy, then this guy with no real motive. Lurking is way worse though. I've had a cool idea for a game and have worked on it but have decided against pressing the submit button since I think my last like 4 games have been plagued by inactivity from half of the game. You do have certain games that pop up and are really active which is cool though. I don't think I'm wrong to say games from a few years ago, content wise, were infinitely more fun to play in just because of the high level of activity and manipulation/effort.

As I grow older, I see myself becoming Dragnix... what is happening.. I never asked for this fam.... But yeah, I mean there was a reason waar (rip!!) and Alasdair were unique because of the way they played mafia. I just viewed a few games and I'm not going to name names but there's quite a few people that will have a bunch of posts, none more than a sentence long. Just typing this alone is putting in more effort and took like 30 seconds. Maybe i'm nitpicking because lurkers are infinitely worse, but sometimes you have people that do both.

Thinking back for a second: The best setup I ever played was Token Female's Presidents Mafia. It was an all Vanilla game with the quirk that four Vanilla Town players were in an unconfirmed masonry. The masonry freaked out so much and started backstabbing each other for no reason whatsoever. What a great game. Let me try to find the link. edit: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3025691

Important votefinder work done thus far: - in addition to all the other things votefinder says when somebody is hammered, votefinder now might say "  PlayerName " or " Playername"

For the fifth time I would have described the urgency of the problem and laid out a series of legislative recommendations to the Congress. But as I was preparing to speak, I began to ask myself the same question that I now know has been troubling many of you. Why have we not been able to get together as a nation to resolve our serious mafia problem?

If I can say what I want to say in 4 words I am not going to fill in the rest of the post with elaborate prose in order to appease the masses. I really hated the old style of super effort case where every case might as well have been a doctoral thesis, I don't have the time or attention for that, and really that isn't how effective communication works. People zone out after the first couple sentences, if you can't get your idea across in that time much of the communication will just be ignored or glossed over.

I totally disagree but hey if that's your style then sure, just straight up saying nobody if the majority of the playerbase is doing the same thing then I think you're effectively not playing mafia anymore. Half of mafia is digesting actions from other players and since we're not in a room together we're just digesting words. I can't get anything out of "yeah hes scum lynch him" and "okay lets do this", no explanation votes, people that don't want to elaborate on their actions, etc. I'm not expecting anybody to be Dragnix and mega-case somebody, but it's good food for the mod to know that people are enjoying your game and participating on an active level with decent content.

I've found that no matter how much I write or don't write, people willfully will ignore what you have to say just to re-affirm their gut or try to skew opinion on you because they're scum.

It's pretty hard to move from someone when you know they are lying about something. I think more people need to swim in the too scummy to be scum ways. It's nice out here and there aren't many people around so it'd be nice to have company.

Casey Novak is the worst Law & Order:SVU ADA. she does garbage that Alex Cabot would never even consider in a million years and loses motions that are completely absurd. these are my "ecco's at home watching tv" opinions, you read them you cannot unread them.

As someone who gets caught up in these from time to time, it's very frustrating when nobody else chimes in at all. You're not trying to convince the other person you're arguing with, you're trying to convince everyone else who is watching, so if nobody even comes in to say which side they agree with then you have no idea how your arguments come off or if you're on the right track or if you just seem crazy and should step away and reevaluate. If two people start tunneling on each other that is the absolute best time to jump in and give an opinion.
