I don't know if I'd say disrupting, but I would say that for better or worse the skype group did definitely form a clique. As for when, I'd say right around/after popcon.

What's the overlap between this thread and Auspol Mafia?

there is only one hell:
the one we live in now
I'm going to go to the store and when I get back I expect people to please be more civil. Remember that none of this ultimately matters, we are all doomed to the grave sooner than any of us would like. Get right with Jesus everyone.

I think we're all dealing with a lot of imperfect information - none of us know what will happen in the future. I think the best way to figure out what to do is to figure out what might actually happen if we did different things.

Merk a long time ago suggested a kind of "database" of Mafia players, a kind of easily-accessible list of people who have played mafia (maybe someone who is logged as having played 5+ games), including when they were last Invited to a game, and when they last Played a game. Someone assembling that from Votefinder data (probably the easiest) would be a good thing to have regardless of the discussion threads. And, I think the first thing we should send them is a brief survey, asking them why they no longer play, and would they be interested in a (reasonably-sized) "veteran" game every few weeks/months.

Okay and break.

Eh, I think that was more the post war bonding of popcon that happens with the various survivor games as well but I see your point. Anyway I think the big thing is that people were still able to play mafia games without it being a weird us and them situation.

My problem is that I suspect when a lot of people say they don't like the thread what they mean is that they don't like the people in it and the culture that's developed, not the structure of it.

This is almost assuredly what people mean when saying they don't like this thread, and it is hard to see splitting the threads doing anything other splintering the community or speeding up the slow death (despite the fact we actually have a ton of active games and are doing fine). If we want to make this thread more palatable to people who find it impenetrable, I think you the only way to make it work would be to not have a thread for community stuff at all and move it off the forums. I say as someone who even feels like a bit of an outsider in this community that the current geniality is a strength and probably what keeps me around far more than the actual games do.

What are you actually asking? I think one or two of them skim this thread but the auspol crew thread is so fast moving compared to this one i imagine most of them stick to that thread.
They don't cross into playing much with the regular mafia games because apparently a couple of people that joined their games were too condescending and irritating.

I've played in a handful of auspol games as my schedule allows i have actually enjoyed them more than the regular mafia games i've played here too. Bowmore has played a couple too, but he and i are th eonly ones that really post in both communities.

I am officially volunteering to take on this project, I can't code for poo poo and I can't balance games but I am hella great at organizing.

First step is: anyone who feels themselves to be well-connected with the community, specifically with players who are inactive not only in games but on the forums in general, please send me a PM and I will add you to my master list of "hey do you know how to get in contact with _______?"

I'll start on this right away, for real I've got it covered.

I don't think he wants to just make a new thread and splinter the community, he wants us all to be willing to work with it and be behind it. The whole thing just seems like something that is going to escalate and lead to mods being involved and cleaning everyone out.

I don't know why you can't just try some invite only vet games and make another insular community like Auspol and see how that goes.

That's what I figured. We basically have two mafia communities going here that have minimal overlap.

Punt isn't not playing because of the thread. Carp isn't. E+ was in here just today. DBD is modding a game right now, Chic is playing. Kleedrac played a game this week.

Which ones of those are you speaking for right now, when you invoke their names?

He cherry picked some assholes. I picked out some decent people in the bottom half.

also here is an opinion from hiipfire in the skype chat

quote:

ehh the thread's fine, but the discussions quickly turn into half of the group trying to have a legit conversation and one half just insulting each other, which is why I un-bookmarked it, but I'll probably start reading again tomorrow
Something that's kinda funny that I noticed though is that some people use this condescending tone in the discussion thread sometimes that they also use when talking to people they perceive are scum in mafia games
It's almost like the mafia mentality is leaking idk im half asleep that might not make sense
Crew chat stuff is fine

Maybe we should work on being less rude assholes

Oh god, it's going to be a while. I actually have another forum reality game ready to go for whenever I have 2 spare months to denote 5 hours a day to running a game, but Genius 2 I don't know when or if I'm going to get around to it. I'd absolutely love to do it again, but making games requires so much effort that I just haven't had the energy for it.

I need to sit down and mine board games and various logic games for ideas. Plus I still need to watch the last 2 seasons of The Genius to see if there's anything I can pull from that.

So don't wait on me for popcon 2, which will surely fuel at least one murder/suicide.
