The Great Twist

uranus posted:

what do you want people to say? 'yes make a new thread'? because i think thats what everyone has been saying. there is just some disagreement on whether it will do any good. and also people not wanting to change anything about this thread. otherwise i doubt anyone will be opposed to there being another thread for mafia posts only.

What good is that going to do if Asiina won't make any changes to the purpose of this one? She says people won't split the discussion and she's going to make drat sure not to lift a finger to assist a split actually working out.

We already have 2 threads: this and the new game announcement one, the latter of which was started by someone who, as someone who has been active in this community for the last 3 years, I don't even recognize. The vets that say this thread is too bogged down could just as easily be looking at that thread for games to join, but they don't, which indicates to me that they don't really care that much about playing mafia. I don't think creating a separate thread for just theory is going to fix that, but at the same time the New Game Announcement thread could use some TLC.

Why don't we just close that thread and replace it with "Mafia: Game Announcements & Theory" or whatever name you decide is appropriate and boom, best of both worlds problem solved zip zoom

e: vv hahah get owned

Because we still want recruiting games to be easily found and we don't want people to dig through Mafia discussion to find games that need sign ups?

Recruiting games are, currently, incredibly easy to find by virtue of that very thread already existing. If people are currently unable to find games that are recruiting, no amount of magic wand waving is going to fix that (imo)

that's weird considering our thread as it currently is has made people not want to post at all

maybe we could compromise by having different types of conversations, maybe even located in different threads! that way everyone would want to post

1) Surely that plan that will never fail because Asiina will always be here to update the OP.
2) You guys think Game announcement thread should have all the Mafia discussion as well so that wouldn't be an easy way to find games.
3) No one does Day 0 to recruit in votefinder.
4) Why rely on others when this information could be more easily available.
