I like some rifftrax, but only if it's for a movie I'm prepared to hate, which is different than the just sorta weird and bad old movies from MST3K.

For my making fun of movies needs I just listen to podcasts like We Hate Movies and How Did This Get Made.

do not invite piuro back. actually, gently caress it, yes, y'all deserve him. same with fatluigi

i love/hate mills, i guess thats a judgment call

impureawesome was a dumbass

everyone else cool.

see now this is elitism but w/e

The people on that list are people I remember having fun in games with. Some less than others, but they were people who played games and chatted and that I remember.

idgaf what y'all think of piuro, he's been nothing but friendly and kind to me and when you're trying to grow a community he's exactly the sort of person you want. impureawesome made some games I had a blast in. Mills is good to have around for various reasons and definitely not only because I used to have a massive crush on him.

Maybe we should work on being less rude assholes

Hey, I've got a sparkling personality and I'm not at all an rear end in a top hat.

At least not outside the game.

The crux of everything is in the game itself. If the mod is poo poo and lazy, people won't really have a fun time, if the players are apathetic and inactive, it's awful. That's what would generate content in old threads for discussion, hype for a good new game, funny/cool poo poo that would happen in said games, think the thread thing is whatever honestly.

My problem is that I really want to create the best and most fun games and when people sign-up and barely post my interest in investing time in my game wanes because I feel like people don't really give a poo poo. Or they do but it's hard when a few people are creating a fun atmosphere while the rest shitpost and bring others into it.

Like, the discussion I had with JakeP a few weeks ago annoyed me a bit where it was like "yeah you don't need to post more than a sentence to get through to somebody, if you could say something in 5 words instead of a paragraph you obviously do that, gently caress actually putting in effort I play to win, I dont play for the mod" was the gist of what he was saying.

Alternatively, I played against JakeP and a few other townies the following game I signed up for (BottleKnights game), town barely did anything and it was the easiest scum win ever for Dhaes and Keane and I because town had a bunch of people that had a similar posting style as JakeP, also, Lumpen. To be fair Jake actually put in effort I'm not accusing him of anything that game, just saying a lot of town barely posted and if they did it was like "yeah I agree with dhaes" "ok lets do this"

tldr: not telling people how to play, but if everybody put in 10 or 20% more effort into games it actually helps!! people enjoy fun games!! people actually read these games and notice how much fun or not that we're having!!

Yeah if there is a problem I think it is this and the apathy that comes with it. It is particularly a bummer in your games because I really do like your setups, but they seem to be particular targets for apathy.

Not even wordy tbh, like if there is constant dialogue between people then that's great, doesn't matter how long

My point is that when everybody is posting content it means it's harder to actually differentiate who's scum and who's not. Content drives discussion in games so if 14 people are posting quality stuff there's a lot of things to look at, which makes the game more fun to me at least.

I made this point earlier, back in the day you had waar (rip) and Alasdair, and people knew you could barely have 2 of them in the same game let alone other people like them, when you have 10 people posting like that it's just a shitshow

People change. People grow. I pulled a lot of poo poo back in my day. I'm just saying that a clean slate approach is the best way to do this. If I'm gonna be contacting a huge list of vets and you want them to stick around, one of the worst things we can do is throw past behavior in their faces if they do show up.

As an example unrelated to Mafia, I came back to SA after a hiatus so I could post in the restaurant industry thread after getting a job that was way over my head. I posted like twice and someone felt the need to bring up some stupid poo poo from my past that happened pretty publicly on this forum and that was so horrible for me that I went through a couple parachutes trying to distance from it. It put such a bad taste in my mouth that I left again and didn't come back until Met messaged me.

Clean slate. It's literally the only way. If past shitheads become present shitheads then we'll deal with it.

Chatted with chic. She says she has trouble keeping up with threads anyway but what throws her out of it is how negative stuff can be.

I have to agree. I am basically on the verge of taking a break myself just because I don't like the volatility but I'm sticking around for long enough to make sure votefinder and everything is stable

Games are a total crapshoot. Some games are just SO ANGRY and others are perfectly pleasant, and that's with high amounts of content in both and even with the same posters in both.
