Forum Mafia III Sign Ups

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.

All moderators are fun, -vote spy.

[Yayap]

Spy hosting... sounds like a very entertaining story coming up.

Claw should be on the list way before Spy. Just to be fair, y'know. I don't care if he doesn't want to.

[Elixir]

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

[TheJackofSpades]

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

[Goonswarm]

I am in, not voting tho

[Illidan]

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]

sign me up

[Narks]

1. Make a rule against the posting of absurdly oversized pictures or text - this is just annoying.

u mad gay

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...

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]

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]

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

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.
