At the end of the day it's a game that centers around the extrajudicial killing of mostly innocents based on wild accusations, but it's also just a dumb party game, not an endorsement of behavior. You can play Monopoly without endorsing the problems caused by capitalism, or enjoy a Batman movie while recognizing vigilante justice is bad. We can avoid specific terminology that is very obviously problematic like "lynch", but don't think we have to dig all that deep beyond that

lmao A bunch of people who don't play Mafia anymore boosting up an IK who almost never plays Mafia anymore Who the gently caress are all you people?? Ecco has... what, run one game in the last year? Most of you I've never even seen before? An admin comes in and literally says "I never have any reports about the Mafia threads" - maybe that means we don't need to screw with the current setup by giving IK powers to someone who's disconnected from the actual goings on of Mafia in 2023?

Why do you care? Why does it matter if Ecco has run games in the last year? Ecco is incredibly prolific when it comes to both running and playing games. Just because they're not actively running a game at this moment doesn't mean they're not the best person for the job.

Yes, I do happen to think that someone in a leadership position should actually be at least somewhat visible and active in the community they're charged with leading. Maybe Ecco was a powerhouse mafia player/runner at one point, but that's no longer the case. And if we're going to go the needless route of getting an IK for Mafia, I'd rather it be someone who is actually active in Mafia in the year 2023. Again: A whole bunch of people in this thread that I've never even heard of before boosting up somebody who I've only almost never heard of before. It's pretty silly.

I got the impression the primary role of an IK for mafia would be opening and closing threads as part of the way the game works, and maybe renaming or moving threads too. No?

Ecco may or may not be the best person for the job. I don't know her directly, so I can't be sure either way. However, it weirds me out that she has been so adamant on getting it.

Game mods (the people running the games, not to be confused with forum moderators) do that. There's not really any game-mechanical need for an IK.

I had the impression that there was a push for an IK as kind of "neutral party" in the case that there was drama or if people were made uncomfortable by something. In which case, I think a player with a long history in this community as well as a knowledge of habits and trends would be best - and if that's the case, Ecco seems like a natural fit.

Pinterest Mom posted:The people running the games open and close their own thread Yeah. Sometimes a thread needs renaming (or someone accidentally labels it as "shitpost"), but it's rare, and I don't think we need an IK just for that.

My Second Re-Reg posted:Yes, I do happen to think that someone in a leadership position should actually be at least somewhat visible and active in the community they're charged with leading. You keep saying things like this is needless, and maybe you're right! But also, this recent explosion of activity was caused by an event that a lot of people didnt want to talk about because there was someone important in the community that shouldn't have been. Having an IK is probably unnecessary but multiple people seem to think it's a good idea given, well, all of this, so why fight it so much? I have seen I think two probations in-game, so it's almost a certainty the buttons will never be clicked. Start from the premise multiple members of the community want an IK (and even if we didn't, the mods and admins seem to think it's worth exploring because of everything that's happened) and that it's basically harmless so we're going to do it. Who would you nominate? We have already ruled out Sandwolf, probably the most obvious choice, because, given everything else, it is probably a bad idea to have someone in that position here on the forums that is also in that position where they have direct control of one of the two mafia discords. I think having someone who Cares About Mafia without necessarily being Super Active is fine. Ecco is active in one of the discords and is around the mafia community enough to understand the culture of the place without being in two games already and going "I am too busy in the games I am playing to go press the button the once in five year it is necessary to do so." The whole point is to have someone that is good to go to if an issue arises so having someone who knows the community but isn't always in games makes sense. I'm fine if it's not Ecco. But if not Ecco, who? Like I say, I think most people would nominate Sandwolf, but again, this was all caused by concentration of power so we should probably avoid that.

I think I’ve only seen like one or two probations across like hundreds of games I played in (and one was because I reported someone for a post they made outside of the game so they’d get probated cause they were annoying me)

I have seen I think two probations in-game, so it's almost a certainty the buttons will never be clicked. Regardless of whatever re-reg's problem is, "Mafia had an IK that really didn't do anything but ended up abusing their position of power" is not a good argument for why we need another IK from the Mafia community. There's really not much for an IK to do, just list a few people in the OP of every game who are good resources to talk to if someone feels uncomfortable with anything at all and recommend escalation to SA mods if there's a problem that isn't adequately resolved by that. No need for someone to have buttons for any of that
