Winvirus' heart seems like a thing of darkness, a creation of the lower lords to fashion into flesh the shape of a man's shadow, that absorbs light and exudes only brownian radiation. In comparison, Taste is merely a deluded fool, a man who has crept unto knowledge that ought not to be known and supped too deep and too long of these ancient secrets. His evil is not of intentional malice, but of ignorant exploration.

You could just say "no."

What about comparisons being made to Winvirus, that Taste is out to make the playerbase suffer? Also, it's a total pick-'em at this point, of course, but still, who you got to take it all?

I understand you didn't identify my previous intro as a Taste impression. I will now explain all my jokes in parenthesis after I make them so that you don't miss another.

First of let's get some things clear here. Taste may be a cruel man, but there's no need to get out of line here, he's not a monster. When taste gets a bunch of people together for a game it ends in good, pleasant things. Things like a bunch of audio files of people awkwardly describing sex, A picture of a bean sucking spiderman off and Merk quitting mafia. When Winvirus runs a game it's raw pain seperated into 40 posts per page, real life panic attacks and tears.

(this paragraph extracts humour from stating controversial opinions as factual and while also playing on winvirus's perception as the human equivilent of thinking there were more steps on the stairs then there were when you're walking up them and accidentally tripping on air and then you land on your cat. (That explantion was an overly elaborate and disjointed metaphor which some may find funny, additionally it itself is a sort of meta joke in that explaining jokes is something that draws out and flatlines otherwised snappy lines. By applying an explanation to a straight forward joke, it defies the expectations of the reader))

Who will win? I'm not going to disguise my prejudices here, It's The Carpet Shark. She's a dark horse and also a fighter. Not much to say here.

This is true, because all I ever see of Taste is him showing up in a game after lurking for like five days and then saying like one sentence. +1

Okay. We'll be sure to keep an eye on her, obviously there's bonus points in the offing if she does make it, next time you're on.

Hiipfire, do you come to bury Taste or praise him?

I don't know who winvirus is. All I remember about him is that really long paragraph about him being a dick or some poo poo, but Taste is cool so I guess virus is too.

I think the winner of Taste's game is gonna be 3p, because I really like the comedy option where people just constantly shoot each other vigs, poisons and whatever the gently caress else Taste puts in it and in the end 3p somehow ending up triumphant in the form of either a survivor or SK or some either weird rear end win condition like Lover or Monk(?) maybe. I can't imagine it not ending in a comedic fasion. If you want to name a specific name, I think I, HiipFire, the extremely cool 17 year old will win.

ohh gently caress I just claimed 3p outside of the thread didn't I.............
gently caress

I dunno how I feel about the graphicsposting, but apparently that's what the kids do these days, so, hey, whatever blows your hair back. Moving on!

DISRUPTIVE PLAYERS. We know them. We've heard them. They're perfectly fine with making GBS threads up people's games and giving people a hard time, and seemingly they either don't know what they're doing or don't care.

I ask, what's going on? Jerks, Spectrum Disorders, or Performance Artists? And what needs to be done about it? MMM, you're up first.

I'll name names. We all know who this shitposter that you're talking about it is and frankly I think it's time to stop cutting him anymore slack. If he's going to keep signing up to games just to blow them off and be deliberately uncooperative than we shouldn't let him play anymore. Actually we should try to see if we can get him banned for making GBS threads games up in the first place. He clearly has no social awareness, reasonable thinking skills or even basic human decency.

It's time to ban Meinberg.

Meinberg: Oct 9, 2011; inspired by but legally distinct from CATS (2019)

First things first, Mr. Trip, or should I call you the MildManneredManikin? Your suggestion that I be banned from Mafia is utterly ludicrous, beyond the pale. I will freely admit that I'm not the best Mafia player, and that at times I do, as the kids say, "lurk." But I'm a vital member of this community. I bring joy and wonder, and confusion. I am the name that is spoken in whispered tones, of my glory and my power. I contribute ideas and theories and new concepts to the world of Mafia.

And what's more, unlike certain other people who are in the close company of bigots and receive from them playful nicknames, I stand for the sake of the marginalized. I want to make Mafia a safe space, in between the poo poo posting and the lying and the broken feelings that are part and parcel of the game. But we don't need to exclude people by bringing in the worst, by bringing in people who's only purpose is to say offensive things and hope that gets them a laugh, who feel that the community deserves to support their bigotry, and I won't hold back in describing the actions of some in that way.

In all seriousness, I'm will to support people who are low effort, and people who are not good at Mafia or new to the game. What I won't support are people who actively seek to disrupt games and those who find humor in the discomfort of others. Mafia can be a safe space for everyone.

I'm not sure, but I feel like I'm supposed to feel insulted here?

As a professional and lurker, I feel have more to say about this topic than anyone else here.

Now,

The way being a piece of poo poo is an art only able to mastered the biggest assholes on the motherfucking planet like me. All you do is you just have to focus all your energy on being such a insufferable cuntmouth that will definitely make any serious mafia player throw their keyboard on the ground and throw their hands in the air in sheer disbelief of your pure shittiness.

I thought that MMM's joke was a C+ at best. Saw that poo poo coming from a mile away and honestly, Meinberg is some pretty low hanging fruit. Step your game up pal.

Meinberg is indeed an awful poster from what I have seen. This is why anytime I have a vig, I shoot him. THis happened once. But it will happen anytime I have a vig.

In general, I think lurkers and shitposters and players like HAROLD KRELL can be really funny sometimes. People take this internet game pretty seriously, sometimes TOO seriously. Its good to throw a little chaos in once and a while. However, in the long term its probably not healthy for the game and community.

I haven't seen enough vigging lately, and the last time I tried it, it ended badly (even though it hit scum), so here's some more points. +2

Yeah, I'm not much for being forever serious, but there's a wide gap between chaos and serious game-making GBS threads. The game-shitters are almost inevitably people who take it too seriously, so, uh, I dunno where you're going with this. -1

And we've been horned. Up next, Buy or Sell, where we talk about something we never thought we needed, and something that we never thought we'd like.

Because time works the way it does, it's way too late in the Eurozone, which means we're going to need to take a break. It looks like the next time we can all get together is Monday? We should be able to finish the game at that point.
