The culture is absolutely different from what it was way back when, even from when I started playing in... I think it was 2011, actually. It's honestly been pretty interesting to watch happen, as someone who currently plays mafia maybe once or twice a year.

Yeah absolutely. People are actively doing poo poo we used to call scummy and dumb and acting like it's town and perfectly normal.

Hi I have a 15 player game setup but can’t figure out flavor for it if you’re interested

I'm going to send my idea to RF as there are a few specific roles I want in it, but am happy to help with your game if you need some flavour.

Conversely though, some of the standard things people would call scummy were just cargo cult imitations of scum hunting, or rules for the sake of it.

Players are bad now, but they were bad before. Mafia is not a good game for strategic play. Especially in the SA culture focused on the moderator.

It’s this.

I think some of y’all inhaled too many Dragnix megaposts! Every post being a short thesis did not make for the most invigorating experience.

There are times and places for both, but in general brevity is a boon to the game of mafia.

Also do people still use the term "dragnixity"? I remember when soru and I were loving around a long time ago trying to come up with an average word count addition to votefinder and settled on that term.

I was around for the conversation and also played with Dragnix so it's definitely in my lexicon.

It takes more effort to make a concise post with a few bullet points or specific reasons, and maybe a second post with some quotes to back it up, than to just quote ten posts and ramble on.

Hence I do the quote ten posts and just ramble on usually.
