i just think town of salem is a superior game tbh.
this person loves and respects women and does not think of them as objects
yea forum mafia is trash lmao
overall VERY good stuff in this thread
throne of lies is the pinnacle of mafia mechanics gameplay so i dont know why we all dont just go there
games where the prime methodology for winning is “meta-reading” how big-benny is trolling the current day are objectively bad.
Go play town of Salem. Problem solved.
Forgive them father, for they know not what they do.
i don’t think this is necessarily true; there was a period of time where players would read me based upon how much effort/thought I put into the game’s design/solves and I privately held that it was perfectly valid. I have also lost games based on my own personal “meta-reading”.
you can’t take “meta-reading” or “tone-reading” out of mafia; I just want discussion facilitating out of actions players can take in the game/mechanics of the game itself.
does lynching someone in the game actually feel like it’s not worthless to you right now?
does your lynch even matter?
d1 literally ended like this:
Slowdive(3) - Nyte , Iaafr , Wintermute
Kaptenrobert(3) - Roragok , Ian , Flopagis
Flopagis(2) , Big-Benny , Nmagane
Nyte(1) - Slowdive
Iaafr(1) - DEEPTHROAT
Big-Benny(1) - LuckyArtist
Ian(1) - KrazyKat
Nmagane(1) - Yns
KrazyKat(1) - Friend
DEEPTHROAT(1) - Kaptenrobert
Well one of the problems is that town isn’t coordinated here
But I think streamlining our lynch process solves some of this
Pretty much everyone has given me shit whenever I make posts about gamesolves, the setup or game mechanics for not playing “real” mafia
And whenever I tried to host a mechanically complex game everyone wanted a vanilla setup with a cop and a doctor
Yeah because there are different people with different opinions
being noninteractive and stubborn is an individual player problem and multiple individual players with this problem leads to a player pool problem yeah
having played mafia lots; more interactive and engaging players who are capable of being influenced by other players and engaging in a meaningful way make games more fun, but nadota’s playerpool has always been on the weaker side in terms of this metric
also this site culture is weak on making cases and engaging with cases
but idk im getting to a place where im getting sick of forum mafia altogether again
i don’t even think it needs to be mechanically complex; I just want roles/designs that incentivize people to do things in terms of claiming/fake claiming.
Shut the fuck up I swear to god
I will tell you what I told daniel.
Voting should be a radio menu with buttons to pick your vote and it should have a list that is always viewable and live updates on the side of the page.
Nobody should be typing lyhnches so people have to go searching through the thread to find who’s lynching who at this point - especially now that we’re on a forum with no fucking pages
ill cook up a game and host it ro something
