Forum Mafia III Sign Ups

[Elixir]

With Forum Mafia 2 drawing to the final days, we're planning on having less of a downtime between the games this time, so the sign ups are going up now and will last for about 7 days.

Goonswarm and FalseTruth will be cohosting this one.

Sure, why not. He can be on the poll of 100% importance

Cool, thanks. Will vote for him in the hopes that it will make him uncomfortable.

Don't let Ozymandias partecipate again please, it really sucks when one does not care about it at this level.

[Raiden]

I'm obviously in.

Also i voted for Elixir because, apart for the night 2 mistake, he has been a wonderful host to me. He answered patiently and accurately to all my questions, he has been mostly punctual with the day/night deadlines (except when he was away), storywriting was good and overall i agreed with almost every decision he made. Assuming that DR doesn't have enough time to do it, my choice falls again on Elixir. This time i will even bring my crowbar, to use against the undead army invasion. I won't mind any of the other guys tho :)

I'd also like to share some suggestions for the next game.

1. Make a rule against the posting of absurdly oversized pictures or text - this is just annoying.
2. Make a rule against the usage of cypher codes in game - if we don't do this we may as well allow pms.
3. Make a rule against full lurking - it's ok if someone doesn't have the time to check the forums 20 hours a day, but at least show some interest.

If you agree, please support me. If you don't... just disregard that, i can live with it, i just wanted to point out something that could work for the best of all of us.

[Rumpel1408]

we need something against the lurkers, right now they are pretty much destroying the town
and dont let narks play pls, even if his trolling is a kind of special tactic, you can never be sure about his infos, even in his last will...

sign me in btw

[Deolrin]

DO WANT.
Missed the 2nd game. :(

[chocopaw]

Sign me up!

[Darth Sand]

my last will is 100% legitimate and all information stated in it is true and u mad gay

[AscendedOne]

I want to not die day 2 this game....
/sign
Regardless of my role I will not be tryin any crazy acts day one or nuthin.

[chocopaw]

I'm sure that Philie will want to play again, but I'm not sure if she has access to a pc today, so maybe you can reserve a spot for her?
Zane wants one too. :3

[Zane]

Indeed sign me in please :3

[philie]

Im in, and im ok with anyone really as long as it's not a troll
Although I really liked how elixir did it, except the little hiccup with goon and oops but it's his first time and death descriptions were funny enough to compensate

[monster]

Nice to see some more serious EU mafchan action. :)




2. Make a rule against the usage of cypher codes in game - if we don't do this we may as well allow pms.
3. Make a rule against full lurking - it's ok if someone doesn't have the time to check the forums 20 hours a day, but at least show some interest.


2. Posting messages in the day thread that cannot be read by everyone is equal to using PMs. Should be added to the rules.

3. IF we go over 30 players I fully support some sort of a modkill-rule, i.e. 1-2 mandatory posts per day.

[S.A.S.Cnl.Alpha]

Sign Narks, Oops, Narks, Procyon, Narks, I, Narks, and Narks up. Also I enjoy Elixir hosting as he adds some disregarded comedy or so into it. Rev's just "grimdark emo i bleed when i am sad FOR KHORNE."

[nanosystem]

I'm also in.

[Rumpel1408]

I'm also in.

Possible Lurker?

[Zack]

I'm in again ;)

[nanosystem]

I'm also in.

Possible Lurker?

No, I won't lurk.

[Clawtrocity]

Sign me up and no one else vote for me I'm not really able to take the time to do everything needed to do right now. Mission accomplished Jack...

Voted for oops since I'm sort of interested in what he can offer to the table that Elixir and Dark couldn't(Technically speaking he could add random elements because he's a crazy wizard). I also enjoy the slight rotation of story/gameplay that each host brings to the table. Same with SC2 Mafia it's never fun when one person is constantly hosting the same game over and over.

[Spy]

I definitely do not want to play any more forum Mafias. I also don't think I could moderate one game alone.

I think it's more sensible if there were TWO moderators for each forum mafia game, no?

One for actions and rules, and one for the story line. I prefer to do the latter things. I like ornamenting the Christmas Tree and would be too lazy to carry the Tree from the forest if you get what I mean.

[vornksr]

Count me in, of course!

I'm also happy to moderate, if no one else wants to.

[Spy]

But the only moderator I want to work with is DR. So I guess unless he hosts the next game, you can be relieved that you won't see any trace of me in the next game.

[TheJackofSpades]

Please note, Elixir, I haven't decided whether or not I will be participating in another of these games. I return to college in a week and some odd days.

[Auckmid]

I'll sign in again.

[NorthStar]

Sign me up, and I voted for Elixir, Forum Mafia II was awesome as it is.

[oops_ur_dead]

/in

[Auckmid]

I voted for Elixir too, but the role list was so similar to the previous one... It would be very interesting if certain rule's or role's were added that couldn't be done in Sc2 Mafia.

[Inca_Killa]

woot i'm in already Thx

[Raiden]

Well there are a lot of roles in sc2 mafia that i cannot see being implemented in a forum mafia. Just to name some:

- Spy: absurdingly op, will never make it.
- Arsonist: very hard to implement since the existance of faction switching. I think i said it some time ago, but what would you do if you doused the cult leader and then you get recruited?
- Bus Driver/Witch: might be nice but i can see there's already more than enough mess in the mind of the players :).
- Veteran: my personal opinion is that it wouldn't be very cool in a game like this.
- Mayor: too many people involved to make it a balanced role.
- Janitor: now this is something i would really like to see, however as for bd/witch, there's already enough confusion - unless...
- Coroner: ...see above.
- Detective/Lookout: might be cool if we reduce the amount of other investigating roles, but i'm not sure.
- Survivor: sounds boring to me.
- Bodyguard: not very interesting in a slow-paced game like this, you really don't want to win by dying early.
- Jailor/good aligned Escort: might be cool but i'm not sure.
- Amnesiac: might be cool but i'm not sure.
- Random role: again an expedient which would create even more confusion :)

As for new roles, i don't know. I'll let the host/s decide.

[Auckmid]

So that's why we need to make role's which are not Sc2 implemented :). Also, Cult was fun for the first couple of Forum Mafia's, but I'm not so sure I would like to see the Cult again.

[Inca_Killa]

So that's why we need to make role's which are not Sc2 implemented :). Also, Cult was fun for the first couple of Forum Mafia's, but I'm not so sure I would like to see the Cult again.


I would, I have not had a chance to experience them :|.

[vornksr]

For what it's worth, I'd like to see the cult again. They're kind of terrifying; unless you are them, in which case they're exhilarating. ;D

Putting in an amnesiac could be fun, though, or some roles that aren't possible in SC2.

[MuadDib]

I would like to take part, if that is possible seems interesting and i promise i will add something to the day discussions.

Also i think janitor may be an interesting role to reduce the role counting.
However his strength should be limited maybe 1-3 clearings. (Replacing the romano Mafiosi)

[oops_ur_dead]

I don't see the problem with so-called "secret codes", considering they aren't very secret to begin with.
Also, I guarantee you that PMing goes on without anyone knowing it. You guys might as well allow it. Don't forget that you can lie in PMs, too.

[vornksr]

Yeah, as Narks pointed out, it would be ridiculously easy to crack. But I think the main concern is that, in the mason/cult/mafia chats, someone could establish a code with their fellows, and use that to chat privately during the day too. The important thing is that, if you did that, it would immediately mark you as a member of one of those groups, so I don't see that as being so useful.

I'm entirely ok with banning such devices, though. I'm sorry for introducing something to the game that's made people so unhappy.

[oops_ur_dead]

Or you can just, I dunno.
Actually PM them?
Because, you know.
That's already been happening.

[FalseTruth]

If I am in fact hosting, I will make the following restrictions.

1) If you were in the last forum mafia, you had to have posted at least 10 times throughout the game(excluding n1 deaths)
2) You are not allowed to post images in the day chat. You can, however, do what Narks did for a last will as it does not distract from discussion.
3) You cannot sign other people up. i.e. S.A.S. signing up Narks.
4) You cannot have a warning level on the forums.

Also, Narks is hereby prohibited from signing up for trolling the last forum mafia.

[Raiden]

But I think the main concern is that, in the mason/cult/mafia chats, someone could establish a code with their fellows, and use that to chat privately during the day too.


This.



The important thing is that, if you did that, it would immediately mark you as a member of one of those groups, so I don't see that as being so useful.


This, on the contrary, is not as true as you make it sound. Codes are not only numeric, they can be composed of everything. I have thought of a code to use in this game, although it is NOWHERE near the complexity as the one used by the masons or by you and some other guys that i can't remember. It's perfectly understandable by everyone, except it is hidden quite well. And i actually never used it, so it doesn't matter lots.

I don't really like PMs, but i can see how some people don't like to respect the rules, and as the americans say "if we outlaw something, only outlaws will have access to it". I can't really argue to that.

Also i like FalseTruth's rules, hopefully you'll be an awesome host :)

[oops_ur_dead]

Also, Narks is hereby prohibited from signing up for trolling the last forum mafia. He didn't troll the game, idiot.

[vornksr]

No, Narks was pretty aggressively trolling to hide his role. It's pretty hard to imagine what you'd call his behavior besides trolling, even if he was simultaneously saying true things

[McJesus]

I'm in... hopefully I get to be a villian this time, but probably not.

I think Elixir is doing a good job of moderating but I think there should be a different setup, the one we have used twice in a row is growing a bit old.

[TheJackofSpades]

The setup we have currently running is actually fairly different from the previous one. The differences are subtle, but have played a significant impact on the game.

[FalseTruth]

If I am in fact hosting, I will make the following restrictions.

1) If you were in the last forum mafia, you had to have posted at least 10 times throughout the game(excluding n1 deaths)

Why do you assume a total asshole like you?

[FalseTruth]

Me and Goon will probably agree on a more standardized setup like we see in sc2 mafia, but will add in factions like cult and masons as well.

[Narks]

just because you dont want me to play, im going to sign up

ah
ha

[oops_ur_dead]

If FalseTruth and Goonswarm host the game it will be filled with rage and AIDS.

[Elixir]

@people talking about the set up. You have seen the poll in dead chat right?

[TheJackofSpades]

No, because I am not dead.

[Raiden]

@people talking about the set up. You have seen the poll in dead chat right?


Oh, i would like to see that too. Could you... move the thread, or something like that? I actually like the current setup, i wouldn't mind another of those. Especially, i'd like to see the two mafia factions and the cult again. Neutrals and town roles are somewhat less important to me, even if i happen to be one of those.

[Elixir]

I'll move into general later.

[Elixir]

I'll move into general later.


By later I mean now.

[CaressMeTenderly]

Well.
I'm okay with anyone besides Falsetruth hosting, given his terrible rules that effectively remove SAS, Narks, and I.

[FalseTruth]

SAS is not eliminated. I said it images would not be allowed in future games. You receive no punishment for having used it in the last game.

You happen to be eliminated for having a warning level, yes. Narks has been eliminated for trolling.

[CaressMeTenderly]

SAS has a warning level.
So does Oops.
Oops: 9%
SAS: 14%


So no wait you've effectively removed FOUR people. Good job.

[oops_ur_dead]

If I am in fact hosting, I will make the following restrictions.

Why do you assume a total asshole like you?

What is this English isn't.

Also warning level is actually your awesome percentage. The higher you are the more master race you are.

[FalseTruth]

When i say warning level I mean >20% such that you are either watched or moderated.

[CaressMeTenderly]

SAS is watched.


You're very bad at checking your information, by the way.
How can you be trusted to moderate a mafia forums game when you're the moderator of the forums yet have absolutely no idea who is on the watched list and inaccurately believe you need >20% to be placed in the "watched" category?

[oops_ur_dead]

This is obviously an attempt by FalseTruth to breed a master race of rule-following mafia players so that he can take over Mafiascum.

[FalseTruth]

Okay, if you really don't want him in, I won't let him play.

[CaressMeTenderly]

Excellent counter-argument. "Oh, I made a mistake, and you pointed it out, so I guess now I'll just ban him and change my idea of >20%."

[oops_ur_dead]

SAS is watched.

I agree. FalseTruth is very disorganized.
I can imagine him accidentally leaking info on roles and players because of his carelessness.

[Elixir]

Ironically, I removed caressme from that list a couple of hours ago because I was sick of having to approve his shit.

[FalseTruth]

I was intending on letting SAS play, but you seem to desperately want to prevent him from playing, so I'm letting you have your way.

I personally didn't like how he played the last game, but he DID play a legit game, so I planned on giving him a second chance.
I also clarified that warning level needs to be <20% so that he would be allowed to play.

[oops_ur_dead]

I propose that Narks and I host the next forum mafia.
Certainly would be better than Goonswarn and FalseTruth.

[chocopaw]

Can I change my vote? Under these circumstances I really would like FalseTruth to host.

[CaressMeTenderly]

No, this is what you said.

You were under the inaccurate assumption that >20% = watched/moderated, <20% = nothing. I pointed out your inaccuracy.

Wait, what?

So if he has a warning level OVER 20% he can play? You're not making any sense.

[Elixir]

You don't need to forbid anyone from joining until you start pushing 25-30 players. Even Ozys lurking has contributed to the current game in one way or another.

[oops_ur_dead]

Can I change my vote? Under these circumstances I really would like FalseTruth to host.

I will ban you and anyone you associate with.

[vornksr]

It seems reasonable to forbid people from playing who actively distract from the game or make it less enjoyable for others to play. Complete lurking (i.e. total inactivity during night & day) is also not really acceptable, imo.

[Elixir]

[FalseTruth]

Like Elixir said, the votes mean nothing. Eventually, Elixir and DR have the deciding vote on who will be the next host(s).

Also, oops is just trolling his ass off for no apparent reason and Caress has already been moderated by 3 different mods for his trolling on the forums.

Caress will not be allowed to play Forum Mafia III, regardless of who is hosting. Whether Narks is allowed to play will depend on the host.

Playing forum mafia should be considered a privilege, not a right. Do not exploit our kindness.

[vornksr]

SAS did not "actively distract" or make the game less enjoyable. He is still being banned.


I actually wasn't referring to SAS. For the most part, what he posted on the forums was entirely reasonable.

I just meant to say that I think there ought to be reasonable standards of behavior that we hold players to.

Nah, same rules as last time. I would want to add Jailor/Amnesiac/Witch if the community approves. Or we could do it like last game. I do feel that it is fair that Sheriff finds SK. Not sure if you guys approve or not, other than that, nothing changes.

At least make a rule against images during day chat and codes, as was said earlier in the thread. They really ruin the game.

[Deathfire123]

Id like to be considered for being added

[FalseTruth]

1) If you were in the last forum mafia, you had to have posted at least 10 times throughout the game(excluding n1 deaths)
2) You are not allowed to post images in the day chat. You can, however, do what Narks did for a last will as it does not distract from discussion.
3) You cannot sign other people up. i.e. S.A.S. signing up Narks.
4) You cannot have a warning level on the forums.

How are these restrictions bad?
The first one prevents lurkers, the second one prevents trolling, the third one is because S.A.S. wants to be a total asshole, and the fourth is because forum mafia should be a privilege, not a right.

I don't see how any of these are in any way unfair.

[CaressMeTenderly]

This is NOT the place to debate this topic. This is for sign ups, as Elixir has already said before. So please, act like a proper moderator of the COM forums and create a new thread instead of continuing your nonsense here.

Goon and I will co-host the game. Elixir will participate in the game.

The setup and the intro thread will be out as soon as Forum Mafia II completes, if possible.

Good luck everyone! Don't forget to have fun with it!

Also, oops_ur_dead is doing his mafia mutations sub-forum mafia in conjunction with this, so sign up for that if you're looking for more forum mafia.

[S.A.S.]

I think it'd be better to switch the rule from no signing up other people to whether or not they oppose, I am at school right now and cbf signing in.
Procyon asked me to sign him up on MSN, this is one reason why you should actively use it, Elixir, it'd be great
cheating
with you.

[SilentShadow]

Does this mean I might still be able to play in this? I've never played in them and they look really fun so I'd like to try it :)

[NorthStar]

With Forum Mafia 2 drawing to the final days, we're planning on having less of a downtime between the games this time, so the sign ups are going up now and will last for about 7 days.

Goonswarm and FalseTruth will be cohosting this one, I'll be back hosting in Game 4.

Please leave your name below if you want to be considered.

PS: Ozymandias, if you sign up, can you at least make 1 post a day? -_-.

Kgo


Yay, thanks for adding me, I have now escaped Cosenza! Buhahahahaha, time to choose a new occupation.

EDIT: RANDOM POLL IS RANDOM
note: This poll probably wont even be looked at when deciding but will give you the illusion of democracy.

EDIT2: We are hardcapping this at 30 players.

New suggestion: why don't we set up a spectator chat? It would replace the dead chat, allowing people who didn't manage to get in for one reason or the other to follow the game closely, without bothering the guys who are actually playing. Players will also join there as soon as they die, just like the old dead chat.

[Rumpel1408]

But in dead chat you can share things you did not share with the livings for some reason, also it might manipulate the game for some people, and at the end, its just another 500 post you got to read through to get all pictures

[McJesus]

I signed up on page 4, guess I'm not in :(

edit: yay I'm in :)

[Clawtrocity]

Any reason for the hard cap?

I mean I get that more people = more roles and things to track, but with 2 people managing the game this time it'd be cool to get even more people. I know you were thinking of not adding a cult, but with all the people trying to get it in we could have more "fun" roles.

I like Spy's idea of one person managing story and one managing role spreadsheets and randomizing the game.

[Raiden]

Of course living players wouldn't have access to that.

[AscendedOne]

What about me? I want in /cry......
I made a post page 2.....

[Raiden]

Yeah it's quite sad that some people will be forced to stay out... we can have up to infinite people if we gradually add one mafioso to each mafia faction - +1 every 8 townies? - and possibly a third 3-people mafia faction if we reach 40+ players (hardly).

We may also add an additional vest to the sk, one more doc, and either 1 more for each smith or let the smiths target 2 people each night. There's plenty of room for new suggestions, if you ask me.

[MileS]

I'm in.

Well, if we add too many people, then players will have to read through more pages each day and keep track of more people. Good players who cant spend a few hours a day on forum mafia will be at a disadvantage. I think the 30 player hard cap is good, but Elixir should add in McPwnage and AscendedOne ASAP.

The story isn't as much work as you would think. If we do it that way, the work isn't split 50/50. More like 20/80.

...yeah, true. Didn't think about that. Still sad tho. At least if the spectator chat goes in, people will have something to talk about. What do you (and the other mods/hosts) think about that?

[FalseTruth]

What exactly do you mean by spectator chat? Do you mean that it's exactly the same as dead chat but people can see the night chats?

[Rumpel1408]

or what about leaving the deadchat as it is but give everyone who asks the "dead" attribute

[Raiden]

Not exactly, i mean that some people may sign in specifically (or, if they don't get in due to the hard cap) to discuss with the deads and other spectators, instead of signing up to the game itself. It works exactly like the dead chat, except there are also non-players.

Yes this is exactly what i meant, actually.

[AscendedOne]

People who did not get into the game would be able to view and post in night chat. This has potential for abuse, but it's decent in theory.

[Illidan]

I like the idea of the spectator chat. I wished it was here during Forum Mafia I :P

[AscendedOne]

I guess it could be just a seperate chat from night chat completely. Just to talk about the game.

[nanosystem]

As I'm not in for sure, maybe we could make 2 Forum Mafias if we are 40(50)+ players? That would mean 20(25)+ players in each Mafia game, which I would think is enough.

[philie]

Or make 3 mafia clans if it gets big enough, with more aggressive neutrals

[Goonswarm]

This should be interesting, should be fun times.

[fred]

Yes..yes.. can't wait to actually do something in a game and not be silenced the entire time ;)

[Elixir]

Hard Cap extended to 33. (This cap is for a few reasons, mainly so the game doesnt get so big that players have to keep track of like 37891 different accusations / themes, the mods dont have a billion pms to send and so the game doesnt take 7 years to finish)

Added people I missed (im sorry I <3 you guys).

Mafia Teams will have 4 mafia per team in this big set up.

Just out of interest, will the lynching system and numberès be the same as the previous 2 Forum Mafiaès, with 1 lynch per day, and a Majority required to lynchÉÉÉ

è=Comma
É=Question Mark

Yep

I know you are a legit player, but what narks did last game was extremely lame. Outside of that, I honestly don't see why you have a problem with him not playing this time around.

[Narks]

dont worry, i've got something 100x lamer to do this time

[Muso]

Hello! I would love to play. It looks as though it might be full but I would still love to play if a space turns up.

I will be active I promise!

[S.A.S.Cnl.Alpha]

I think it'd be better for two forum mafias of 15 each, it was pretty hectic reading 30 pages each day.

[oops_ur_dead]

I'm not playing if Narks plays.

I fail to see anything bad about this.



Crimson>Narks x 100

FalseTruth = penis x 1000

Because Narks is better than all of you combined.

[chocopaw]

How about a split-up? Oops can play with narks and all the other watched players, and the rest plays with Elixir. Plus, this negates your apprehensions about too many accusations to keep in mind, too many PMs to be send etc.

[philie]

I dont see a point in forcing narks anything, he doesnt even pay attantion, and no matter what he CAn do, we wont even be trying

[Darth Sand]

With forum mafia II ending, how long will it be until III starts Elixir? :)

[Clawtrocity]

False and GoonSwarm are hosting the next one. They should have everything ready soon.

The time between the first and second forum mafia will be way longer than this gap.

[Elixir]

Should start by mid next week I think.

And at the narks thing, if hes doing it just for the sake of trolling and will get over it after day 1, i think his energy would be better used elsewhere. But I aint gonna stop him signing himself up.

Has to be narks though, not Cosenza Town Gallows as Gallows cant talk.

Assuming it's not closed, sign me up please.

Roles are finalized. Intro thread will be coming soon. Forum Mafia III begins on Monday August 15th.

I'm only waiting on DR to give me editing rights to the subforum and Elixir to finalize who is playing.

[Rumpel1408]

Wow, thats going to be an nice birthdaypresent for me^^

[Goonswarm]

The rules and the role list are going to see a theme and mechanic shift. Something of interest is going to be the change in investigator mechanics. We both feel the 50% system is garbage and does not reward skill, and rather rewards luck. % based things in mafia do not work well, it will be very similar to the way sc2 investigations work.

[Acolyte]

I'd like to sign up.

God damn it I'm always late for these things...hope I can still join.
SIGN ME UP PLEASE.

[Ganondorf]

Ooh me please!

Aww crap, I missed it, didn't I. Note to self: check for next sign up before current game finishes...

[Crimson]

this is fucking stupid,

im just going to troll during the mafia game now.

[Auckmid]

Ooh me please!

Aww crap, I missed it, didn't I. Note to self: check for next sign up before current game finishes...
:(. I would like to vote that Ganondorf should be #1 on the replacement list, since he participated a lot durring the last game, and was simply late signing up.

[Ganondorf]

Auckmid, I appreciate the support, but I think that there are already 33 people that signed up. If that's the case, I'll just have to wait until the Forum Mafia IV I guess. However, if there was still room, I would be VERY grateful for a spot on the list: after all, I have to redeem myself for some stupid decisions last game....

oh.....
I decided not to search the thread and hope that it would be shown at the start of it.

[Elixir]

So the whole 31/33 thing means its finalized right?

I can remove you crimson if you'd like

[Elixir]

Final List is up. I'll post the Role List in this thread when I get it.

[Elixir]

op updated.

Game starts On Monday according to False.
