EccoRaven posted:Like 80/20, yeah, but I do think the community as a whole lost interest with mafia as a novel game around that time, and so votebot was more a symptom of a larger disinterest in "mafia" as a game rather than its cause. It comes in conjunction with the end of the Big Game Queue, too, which fell out of favor about the same time as well. I've had long discussions with Ecco on this in the past and I would argue that Ecco is being silly wrt her two pet projects from back in the day but it is true that mafia was already beginning its decline even when I first started.

dongsbot 9000 posted:man i want to look through the games taht have been recently completed if only there were a tool that automatically compiled it and no im not talking about an extremely good wiki that tonnes of people read and use I mean you say this but votebot is actually not good at sorting games based on completion time, something's wonky with its sorting algorithm. And the wiki used to be fairly active with input from much of the community, but declining interest + spambots in 2014 pretty much made it stagnant.

its actually fairly robust if instead of looking at the completed games list you just look at kashunos game history

Accurate, votebot's sorting is thoroughly hosed up for reasons I don't fully understand. Being brutally honest, if the wiki's registrations could be reopened again (and I know I've asked about this) for some chunk of time, I think it'd pick up the update pace - at least for completed games. As of right now, I only see like 3-4 mods going in there and updating.

I think mafia is doing fine, and I find the games as engaging and the community as fun as it was back IN THE HEY DAY.

how about everyone promises to try really hard in mafia and make posts and then we all join ecco's game which will have some delightful twist like a scum jailer- ninja juggernaut interaction and tmm and kash will get into a big argument about something dumb and then a bunch of people will lurk cuz theyre playing wow and then we'll no lynch d1/d2 and then ill say something like "mafia is dead  " and ill mess up lylo and everyone will say "yeah mafia is doing great"

I'd also probably make the regular editors admins because not having to captcha is really nice. CCKeane posted:I think the forums as a whole has also seen something of a decline. I do not disagree. Things are different but that doesn't make them worse, just different. (I mean I think some things are worse but communities need an Ecco around even if they don't like it.)

i was really triggered for a multitude of reasons, mafia and non-mafia, at the end of the game but i genuinely believe that even if we lynched tremta instead of kaoslord, there was like a 0% chance town wins that game at lylo b/c of the jailer - ninja juggernaut interaction like we lynch tremta, game continues - assuming i live, they kill some other person who i cant remember its like me, pmom, chaoslord im snap voting chaoslord cuz pmom was jailed during a n w/ a k and then we lose SO eccoraven in the future please change your ecco raveniness game scale to make that EXTREMELY TWISTY instead of barely twisty or whatever you put it on and scale accordingly for me ty of course then all teh scum team roll up and say "hmm this game was extremely balanced maybe you shouldnt suck rear end, dongs" which is lmao as heck same thing whatever game had the 5 man scum, 1 sk, 9 town game that kash then was like "hmm maybe town shyouldnt have played so bad" lets do some self-evaluation boys and girls ANYWAY all games from now on should have to get a seal of approval for me and then i get to also play iin them i think mafia would be improved fi i were just given free reign to swag out it would definitely be from my persepctive and i think im morei mprotant than every1 else so.,...

Believe it or not I usually go into every mafia game with the actual real intent of really trying to do well and make real reads and not shitpost and I try really hard but something ends up happening and I lurk or just post like rear end in general.

Weirdly enough I have faith in you and mafia players in general. The one time I asked Jimson to not be a complete idiot hellfucker failure (  ) in a game was Shine II and he did drat well there. Same goes for you in that game, even though I didn't have to ask!
