If another thread is just thrown up without the support of the community it's going to inevitably fail, which is why it's actually fruitful to discuss it and hash out positions

I didn't like Lumpen's passive-aggression at all but I do agree with him that if the thread fails, it fails. But I'll post my off-topic chat poo poo in this thread and also participate in on-topic discussions there! I like mafia and I don't think it would be too hard to do both.

Then once again, make a mafia theory thread that is just for mafia theory. I think policing threads for content is terrible in principle, leads to a whole bunch of inane "you posted this in the wrong thread" discussions, and is never going to be worth the effort.

If you think differently then prove me wrong. Make your thread. I will update the OP with a link to it and say that it is the thread for serious mafia theory discussion, and this thread is more casual, and we'll see how it goes.

You know what the best part about this thread is? The fact that it gets 100 posts a second and I don't even need to post to keep it at that level yet the moment those same posters are in a game, good loving luck.

do you like my straw man taste? If you don't agree with me then you actually don't like mafia!

The way I feel about mafia is pretty close to the way I feel about the South

You abhor its cultural racism?

Which is why forums only have one thread ever. Can't possibly have multiple threads with some guidelines and participant crossover.

quote:

If we end up splitting would you be okay rewriting OPs to better reflect the contents?

-Mafia Theory thread gets SA Mafia information, basic Mafia information, guides for Votefinder and modding, links to all the game related stuff (Votefinder, new game thread, supplementary material)
-Mafia Crew thread gets focuses on community projects, other forum games (Awful Survivor, Be a Raccoon), links to all the fun extra stuff like (Plug.dj, etc)

Because if it's really just "We're not going to change anything here but you go make your thread copying features we already have" instead of a true split, we're really not doing what we can to make sure it succeeds. There will be awkward wrong-thread posting when the OPs aren't clear for their thread's purpose. Is that something you're willing to change or are you unwilling to give it the chance?

I abhor when people think the south has cultural racism.

There's plenty of super racist rednecks from upstate new york where I am from.

I think I might be the only one here who was both in the circlejerk thread and the discussion thread, and while the discussion thread was meaner and worse overall (some people got pretty drat nasty) during the schism a lot of people acted pretty poorly.

I'd probably be pro a chill out thread but honestly I don't have much of aa strong opinion as long as everybody is civil.

Hey guys lemme tell you what kept me in the mafia community after I joined:

- I liked mafia and the people
- after leaving for a while Diqnol personally pmed me to ask if I was ok
- playing awful survivor made me feel more genuinely connected to the people here

CapitalistPig posted:

Sure a dead flag that represents a band of rebels may or may not have been tied to racist things, but that doesn't mean southern culture itself is racist inherently.

I'm sorry if you don't realize that at the very least.

Dixie flag is a part of modern southern culture

I don't actually have any interest in continuing this discussion however because it's needlessly polarizing and everyone is an individual anyway so broadly talking about an area's culture isn't important to me

Yeah let's just be real here and say that John Cena is the greatest recruitment tool we have.

Except we're not the entire forum community. We're a small subcommunity within the larger Trad Games community within Games within SA. If we had our own forum then yes there would be the dinner thread and the what is your favourite colour thread and Ecco's roommate blog. If we want to make that jump (which I don't think anyone does, I certainly don't) then we can start separating out topics. As long as we stay here though, I don't think trying to divide things up is particularly fruitful.


I've already said, I have no interest in policing a thread for what is or is not on topic. You are the one who is saying that your mafia theory needs (and the needs of those you anonymously represent) are not being met in this thread, then go meet them. I think it's a bad idea and a waste of time so I'm not personally going to be enforcing it.
