I got pmed to come in here about an IK for mafia games. I am sorry to say I do not read the mafia thread, but if you all come up with someone you want as IK for it, I will gladly add them.

Got no problem there doing this - I just cannot tell you who would make a good IK because I have not played mafia or joined in here.

I think the big thing that happens somewhat regularly (or did when I was regularly playing here, mostly 2-5 years back) is that people will press others too hard and it will prompt an emotional rejoinder, especially when the person pressing is doing so in a way that seems unfair or rude

this is usually sorted out by someone leaving the game or conversation cooling off and people taking a break, which is an explicit option under every ruleset and never needs to be justified, but sometimes the person pressing the other is the one being a dick (rather than he person attacked needing to opt out of an emotionally affecting situation) and things can get tricky

this is a tone issue for the most part and I like to think people being warned for being too rude is a thing that happens, but it's worth mentioning because many game runners may be hesitant to interject when things are borderline

I think this is pretty spot on. I know I was pretty regularly guilty of this when I started playing again.

I started playing mafia as a teen in high school. Now I'm older but how I used to post and play still comes out. But most of the time a simple reproach from the community makes me feel like a pretty lovely person in real life and rightfully so. I like to think it was something I got better at but I think that's more how the community handled it.

I started playing when the community (and forums at large) was a bit more hostile, but I’ll say that I feel like usually people were very good at keeping a level of separation from the games and reality. I think to me that’s more important than everybody being nice to me in the game: understanding that players in the game are not going be talking to you in the most sincere way since the game is afoot.

But this also means that when I talk about being rude in games I’m thinking more along the lines of like people calling my case a dipshit argument and not stuff like mocking somebody’s dead cat.

That’s the story but I’m pretty sure winvirus did it way worse than lumpen but somehow got lumpen to take the fall (or maybe I’m thinking of another thing but that definitely happened at least once with those two because people already hated lumpen)

If you guys offer us one or a couple or three candidates I would like to then chat with them via PMs just to make sure we're clear on roles and responsibilities etc. Also I'll just say it out loud, we're gonna look at rap sheets and a little posting history and make sure the mod team feels like it's a good fit. That's not some kind of grueling test, just like a two minute conversation where me and antivehicular go "hmm they seem fine" at each other.

It is a volunteer position so it is OK to say "I volunteer" here. If you're thinking about it but have reservations, I can chat about them with you, too.

got some chores tonight posted:

taste graciously invited me back to the mafia community but im sad to report that im incredibly normal now and get paid a lot of money to be an important person who materially improves lives and is universally beloved in my irl life so i may not have enough time to pretend im a misanthropic moron who doesnt use capital letters

glad to know that yall got rid of some of the racists and sex pests (i.e. my posting enemies) from before, solid work.

also give ecco the star even though its a completely meaningless title and will only inevitably lead to corrupting power it would make them happy and they deserve it for being way too into mafia and also theyre a good person (i am detecting this with my really strong detecting skills)

Congrats man

To toot my own horn, one may remember I was the first in the community to suggest we move away from "lynch." The nay-sayers said nay, but history has been on my side.

I've been using "execute" and derivations (e.g. "EXLO") and while a bit clunky at times it's fine.
