Me too (well Eastern Central Wisconsin), but I think we may have had this conversation before.

We might currently be saturated but two of the games should be ending within a week.

Counter-strike seems to be winding down and mine is getting very close to finished as well.

Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.

If you read the fine print it says "you also agree to never be in any other mafia games until then, or the offer is void."

I can't help it if you agree to contracts you don't read. v:silent:v

But Ecco is only looking to centralize mafia discussion in a thread maintained by someone who plays it! If the OP isn't informative and awful then the thread won't function.

I'm more than willing to take suggestions, but the OP isn't for you or me - it's for someone who doesn't know what mafia is about but wants to learn more and join our community.

I know this may shock you but I actually thought fronz's prank was really funny. But if we want to be a community that thrives, and not one that stagnates, we need at least something that is serious (albeit boring).

People joining mafia will generally do it because of our sporadic GBS forays or because they know someone who plays and recommended they join a specific game. Nobody's going to just go "mafia discussion thread? What's that?" and then learn from the OP.

I would like to propose that we continue to have easy intro 9 player games at least once a month and advertise them in the general "looking for players" thread in the forum and not just in here or in the new mafia game announcement thread.

I think it's a useful reference point for people who do show up though. I think it makes sense to have information about mafia and not an unrelated videogame by an OP who doesn't participate in the slightest.

You're the exception. Most players ask questions addressed in our All-in-one OP in the discussion or game thread anyway. The vast majority of people are drawn by word of mouth.

Diqnol, I don't know why you're so upset about an OP that is related to mafia, and not an unrelated video game? Would the hilarity of another game in the OP help draw new players? :confused:

How about you make some suggestions for ways to improve the OP since you consider it lovely and boring?

I like the OP because I always lose the links for the announcement thread and the wiki, if nothing else it's nice having all the major links in one place.

I would maybe suggest links to the last two. For all the bullshit that goes on we do get some useful discussion done once in a while.

And Ecco did you check with fits recently or is that bit of the FAQ super old? I'm not sure someone who hasn't played a game in years is the best one to vet setups

I wrote a better OP once but it was not used due to foul fronz, the enemy of mafia.

Except some people do. There's no reason to exclude them from potentially being part of our community so we can have an OP that... talks about a totally separate video game?

:ssh: the "FAQ" is something I added with this OP. When it comes to the basics, I can't recall a single person posting in here asking "so what's mafia about? How do I play it?" But I do recall multiple newer players saying "hi I am new I wanna play."

Again if you have suggestions, make them! Let's work together on this.

We used to have a that thread, though, and it was terrible and eventually got gassed for being terrible.

Not really.

All three previous mafia threads are at the top of the OP, but in tinier words since they're not as important.

Done. If more people would like to be open for new players questions I'm fine making it like, a separate list or something.
