If they were scummy enough and they couldn't justify themselves properly, yeah. No need to rely on night actions.

If soldiers game is not me vs. Asiina then there is no justice in this world.

(I would accept derp vs. Maturity as a suitable alternative)

If we're trying to get older mafia players back into the game I don't think they would care about what you guys did on survivor a couple of years ago! :(

I'm thinking something like CCKeane vs Good Sports Likers

I suppose if it's a big problem we can always close it after a day or two and then just have it opened up periodically for people who missed it this time round or who join after.

Intelligent and bright, they explored a world that was new and strange to them. They liked it, they thought - a whole world just for them! They were dimly aware that a God had created them, was watching them; they called out to him, thanking him in a chittering language, before running off.

Leaving it open for a week should be okay. It's not too difficult deleting spambots it's just tedious; I'll patrol the User Log and clamp down on them when I see them.

It's not something I think we should pester Xythar with often. If possible it would be great to get the super super admin stuff to other people to take care of things.

Yeah by periodically I meant like, once every 6 months.

But having the responsibility passed on to someone like ecco would be ideal s we on't have to bother someone who doesn't care.

So, while we're all finally getting onto the wiki and updating stuff, had a thought:

We may want to break the completed games list down further, because those lists we've got right now are literal word-walls of the sort that your eyes just glaze over. I was thinking we break them down by year?

I definitely am part of the first category though. Rogues are cool. They can do sneak attack damage when attacking a flanked opponent.

EccoRaven posted:

I asked you to hold off on sending messages, though; what are you telling them anyway? I mean, I think it's important once we reach out to players to have them have something to play if and when they come back. Just doing it for funsies (like what Met did earlier this year) doesn't seem that effective, and seems like for the few people it'd bring back (you), it'd just cause many other people to go "huh what?"

idk.

e: I mean, the times I've sent messages to old old players, it's always been an invitation for a specific game (or in LMIRL's case a "are you still alive? ok good" poke.) (he hasn't responded to my message back in may :( .) Generally that's worked well at getting responses and people coming back, at least for a game or two.

I just mean it should be more concerted than just a "hey are you alive come back" thing.

Yeah no that's really really not gonna work. What I'm doing is sending a basic message that says something to the effect of "hey the Mafia community misses you, come hang out with us again, here's some relevant threads, and if you're not interested is it just a spare time thing or is there some deeper community issue we should be addressing"

I get why you think there needs to be a big epic game to pull people back in but tbh I don't think that will work; if the idea here is to try and actually cause community growth then a trickle is preferable to a flood. People who want to come back will come back, find games, play games, life as usual. If the pitch is "come back and play this soldiers game" they will leave once it's over, and anyway I've already had a couple responses of "I can't keep up with large games anymore, no time" in which case Soldiers is just gonna be a turnoff and perhaps just a couple really fun minis are what's called for here.
