"Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday."

I’ve learned my lesson. (The lesson is to find a way to get killed before my team can throw the game so it isn’t on me and/or to just go back to observing like I should be doing.) ;)

For real, though, I still feel bad about that game :(

I will say that thread has a lot of posters in there who weren’t involved in any of this and are mostly there to get in on the drama, so it’s a bit hyperbolic. But good to read if you hadn’t heard about any of this stuff.

Yeah, I had basically no idea that most of that had happened, and I even played in Riven!

The posts from the people that were actually involved are quite reasonable and understandable. But there is definitely a lot of misconstruing and people chiming in who clearly have no idea of what even happened and are reacting to a thread title

I think the “adventures of jemery” RPG would have probably ended with fewer people upset (but many more people confused)

A lot of this is about another game too (which I never played so idk) that people are maybe conflating with the Riven stuff too.

I think one problem I have with mafia is that I want to like it more than I do. I'm a loving dogshit terrible mafia player. Like seriously, I'm really loving bad. I'm terrible at playing games. I'm not too good at running them either. So generally, I just admire mafia games from afar. :(

Thanks. I'd like to get back into running games occasionally. Over recent years, I've realized that I'm not nearly as creative as I wish I was. I feel like Mafia, playing at least, requires a high level of creativity in how you sculpt and frame arguments. It's why I tend to prefer to run games.


Also - goddamn that drama. I was part of the Riven game (spent 99% of my time extremely confused) and had no idea that poo poo was going on.

Well in that case, I should finish polishing up the design for a 15 person game: Mistborn: Chaos in Luthadel.

Is there anyone that would be willing to skip playing in order look over the design of this game?

The seeds were planted from the start with stuff just being an unhealthy environment in general. But the main drama they mentioned in SAD was from later games than that. There was one really contentious bit right near the very end of Riven, and a lot of people might have either ignored it or checked out before then. It didn't get much attention at that time unless you hung around to do lots of postgame chat.

if you divide the times I've won mafia games by accident or because i had a teammate that was better than me who wins it for me, by the total number of mafia games i've won in general, the mathematical answer equals 1
