The status of SC2 Mafia FM, and how we can (and must) improve it

[Ganelon]

MU is another solid option cough cough

Improving the player base wouldn't be a bad thing either...

I think our site-meta's main issue is that we focus too much on WIFOM, and that we take the mod as an example of what forum mafia play is about.

Namely:

WIFOM is. such a big thing on the site that literally every action is considered so NAI that we. get to the point where the only. things we read are either retarded slips (which by the way almost never happen) or really shallow reads like "this guy is attacking me" when there's more to player perspectives than "negative"/"positive" opinions. No two posts/positions are the same.

Its because people post way more. And 90% of it is total waste of time and meaningless lol

We need to cut on troll posting for some players, and I need to cut my own posting a bit xD

The 1 and 2 are just plain wrong because we don't have that lol. 3, maybe... we need to grow a bit more before starting this.

But you are right: we need to play more standard setups. I know a lot of similar threads were made in the past, but we are in a situation without any precedent on the site (as far as my knowledge goes).

Thanks for input

@ people who like to make setups: If you got ideas on balanced and simple setups, please sumbit them. I'm going to make a few myself when I have time to. This way, we can play more classic setups without it becoming boring and repetitive.

Yeah, so adding Vote History and an ISO function for each post would be an easy upgrade using VBulletin. If you need help with this, I'd recommend reaching out to another mafia site admin that currently has these functions (there are many).

Standard setups don't necessarily have to mean 'boring'.

Just keep it standard:
(Mafia * 3) + 1 = Town
(Town - 1) / 3 = Mafia

If you want to add power roles, take a look at Matrix 12 setups for inspiration on how to balance them

So for example, you could potentially have 4 mafia vs 13 town in a 17er setup
You could potentially double stack mafia roles to make every role a power role, or nerf certain town roles to fill it all out

This works particularly well in CLOSED setups

If you're looking for open setups -> Matrix 12 17ers are always solid

Alternatively this setup is pretty badass for a semi-open: https://www.mafiauniverse.com/forums/threads/19343

I read someone say here in the thread something along the lines of too much posting is a bad thing: nah

An active posting community is an active community

Just keep the toxicity in check like; recognize everyone is putting in time and effort and it's a game, keep it in perspective and have respect for fellow players

MU is another solid option cough cough

Lol

I mean, SC2Mafia is a pretty solid fun casual community, especially on the mod in the actual SC2

I am hosting a game and you're welcome to sign for it:
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Mash 49+ game
https://www.mafiauniverse.com/forums...-Mash-Sign-Ups

We're at 45 with 4 subs so get on it if you're interested

Starts November 12, rand starts November 9

By the way, it was a pleasure playing you blinks. I really didn't want to see you leave that last game so early.

I think we can improve sc 2 mafia by posting more religious posts about God. lets all start religious topics to draw people closer to God!!! ^_^

I can't tell if you're well intentioned or just baiting people;

The SC2 community is by and large from the SC2 mod, a video game on the internet, revolving around a game about lying. I don't think posting about God fits this demographic or the purpose of the site, but I mean, as long as it's not hurting anyone go for it

I mean - yeah

Play games without neutrals, a straight up Town vs Mafia

Level 1 play goes a long way to eliminate that needless style

Active = good

If you want to challenge yourself, have Light games with longer phases and capped lower post counts (50 posts per day, last hour the restriction is lifted)

----------------------

I'm pretty busy until December but I'm happy to join an FM here sometime in the winter

I'll invite some dudes but ye - definitely figure out what is possible with upgrading the site tools for mafia specific purposes

Cheers
