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

[Marshmallow Marshall]

We face dark hours, my friends. The citizens of this once great nation that is SC2 Mafia are for the most part gone, and the FM moderation team, along with its head, SuperJack, is missing. We need to do something by ourselves, for nobody else will do it for us. We will fight for this community or die with it! EN TARO TASSADAR!!!!


After this dramatic introduction... I think we need to get more players in. Yes, it's not a new thing, but right now, the site is lacking players. Just 2 more regulars that actually play the games, and the site would be running much smoother. To the people in other communities, tell people that we exist! And to everyone, promote the FM games in and out of the site! We need to stand together and get a new playerbase. This site is unique. Fight for the Motherland! :P

[Marshmallow Marshall]

dont

It's Voldemort.

And sure, removing those things isn't a priority and I don't think I have the power to do it myself anyway. It's still something to consider, though.

[Marshmallow Marshall]

But what makes the site unique and different from the other mafia sites is that it’s SC2 mafia and that everyone in here is “special”. If you recruit random people from other sites then the site is no longer unique - in which case you might as well just play somewhere with a bigger userbase. Part of what makes us keep coming back here is that we all love to hate each other so much - and I don’t think that’s going to ever completely die off.

This is partly true, yes. But at the same time, we must get new people in, and they will love and enter the meta as much as we do. You're having the closeminded veteran syndrome here, and it's honestly scary to see a SMod like that lol.

still waiting for something other than sfms... and a decent setup that interests me.

Do you ever read any games? Why no interest in S-FMs?

I knew you popped in every now and then, but I had no idea you were simply waiting for a game you'd be interested in joining.

[Marshmallow Marshall]

Well, which kind of games do you like? :P

[Cryptonic]

needs to have potential. like when you read the sleeve of a book.

Well the game with the wild coyote stupid op jester has potential, JOIN US!

[Yayap]

Games that I'm looking for:

stupid op [insert role name here]

Games that dont have this for starters...

More interested in playing in a bigger scale for FMs.. not 13 players or less
Not interested in playing non anonymous right now since I have no clue what the current player base meta is and I'd most likely be a high target as of day 1 for anyone who has played with me in the past
Looking for setups that have a decent chance for any faction to win... aka neutrals evils shouldn't need a miracle to pull it off. And, as little chance as possible for people to go against their current win condition because of possible changes to win conditions.. like planning to be recruited by cult.
And looking for a solid setup that doesn't have any broken mechanics that can be exploited or are so vague that the host ends up in a position of being forced to "soft confirm" people as a role because no one knows except that person how a role can be used.

I've decided to give the player base a chance to see if it has improved since my hiatus.. which was when I last hosted and modkilled over 50% of the players for inactivity.

Still waiting for you to apply to FM Moderation.

[Marshmallow Marshall]

Still waiting for you to apply to FM Moderation.

[Gyrlander]

Let's try to make it amazing and shiny!!

[Efekannn02]

Let's try to make it amazing and shiny!!

i disagree lets make it disgusting and terrible

like your saltiness and our private conversation

[Marshmallow Marshall]

Lol this was a joke for a joke setup.

We could try hosting an M-FM. Which would imply you'd get in it though lol.
I don't think a lot of people will remember you, the playerbase has changed.

This host deserves a good spanking O.O

[Gyrlander]

TBH, if rules were strictly applied 2/3 of the posts here would be infracted. Lmao.

I know this is going to get me hated... but we really need to apply the rules here. For the sake of what this thread was supposed to be discussing lol. This community's members are too immature to self moderate, and this saddens me.


MODERATORS, I CALL FOR THEE FROM THY ETERNAL SLUMBER, ARISE ON THIS GROUND AND PURGE THE HERETICS!

I got the feeling that if we hard applied the General Discussion rules we would be raged at. Like a lot.

True.... but it is the result of not having applied them xD unmoderated community inevitably becomes cancerous community, sadly.

I hope we can discuss these issues when you belong to the Staff.


Now, how do we get new players in here?

[Efekannn02]

he! *coughgyrlandercough* started the war dont blame me!

if there is a thing i know is that playing a game of patience with me is a lost case scenario i will win in the future anyway

Gyrlander should just apologize and admit he was being salty because the way he talked to me encouraged me more to be active and entertaining for you guys

[Cryptonic]

No srsly make memes

[yzb25]

Try talking to people in unrelated circles, or even IRL. IRL people seem the most amenable cuz when you're talking to someone IRL you can convey how much it means to you with facial expressions and stuff. Don't even tell them to play. Just share some anecdote about some antic that happened recently on the site.

When I tell people about this place, a lot of them seem interested. The main thing that puts people off is they open the site up and their first impression is: "this site looks like it's from 2004 and might give a virus" XD. The next issue is that a game requires a lot of time throughout the day to play best and a lot of people just don't have that.

There's also this weird confusing thing where you have to pm a mod for permission to post after signing up or something? idk it's weird and seems pointless.

Uuuuuuuuuh.... no? Only sometimes, just to confirm that you're going to be active to avoid people who just forget about the game, so you can replace them immediatly.

[yzb25]

No it’s just that you have to verify your email for your account to be fully activated. The issue is that without verifying the email, people are still able to post in a few places which probably makes them think their account is fine - then they come back later and are confused why they can’t post in most places... it’s just cuz they never verified the email. Probably, it would be better if new accounts couldn’t do anything until they verified their email, then less people would forget to do it.

I shouldn't have brought that up because it happened years ago and I've probably forgotten key details lol.

So you don't ever have to PM a mod? Why did we have to do that then? XD It was probably a technical issue idk.

Is this why?

I think the only time I ever had to PM the host was in the Masquerade Madness game, to confirm many things.

Yea you don’t have to pm anybody to get activated, just have to verify your email!
