Re: Mafia Game "Discussion" Thread v.9 - Part 5

Well, until this moment the criteria was simply ¨3rd hostkill and you're out¨, so technically we shouldn't ban Kdowns

...that doesn't mean we can't

I don't think i will play the game any time soon.

I dunno why and what made Evil pick Naruto's theme, but finally i had a game which theme i really really like (way more than the LOL one for instance). I end not participating in most of the games, and until some point i had decided to not actually play this one, but i am so happy i did.

Nevertheless my thanks to Evil because it made the game so much fun and awesome for me

i could tell you were having a blast...i believed you and nuno from day 1

Inactivity was a big issue with this game, kdowns barely made it at times, and his night presence was nonexistent, sure it brings no help to his mafia buddies, but it was an annoying wait, also we waited for thorn quite a lot of days.

Days and night get shorter as less and less players are in the game, the thrill is bigger and people are more anxious, it's getting to the wire, 16 hour day and 8 hour night is still "fair" considering some people can't even make the 24/12 hour set up. >_>

I think in Night 4 or something like that his 1 line was ¨I think we should kill 3c¨ when everyone knew he was the bomb, lol.

Re: Mafia Game "Discussion" Thread v.9 - Part 5

The problem with any sort of ruling on activity is this...

If someone is inactive, they have a great chance of ruining the game. Penalties don't actually do anything once the game is started. Hostkilling doesn't either, but it's kind of inevitable in many situations. The problem is nothing we have in place actually prevents the possibility of an inactive player, only bans and potential permanent bans.

So regardless of rule changes, it doesn't actually improve anything. I think it's the same deal with post requirements. Before we had none, now we have some in order to force people to post. Now we're making value judgments on what kind of posts can/should count. It's too many rules man, this game is supposed to be casual and fun. Sure, we get people who REALLY get into it and get all srs bsns about it, there's rage because of that. So just kill the person if you think they're not valuable to the game, hostkilling/penalties influences the game in a negative way just as much as inactivity, in my eyes.

Re: Mafia Game "Discussion" Thread v.9 - Part 5

Meh it's too much work to measure post quality. I went back on that statement... Too complicated and troublesome.

Re: Mafia Game "Discussion" Thread v.9 - Part 5

Well that's why I asked the penalties to be discussed again. Sometimes we can't know if the person will go thru something and become inactive, but that has to be an exception, imo. What bothers me is that we kinda know some people that are troublesome and rules nowadays don't keep a good record so we can refrain those people from taking part. And I'm sorry if I'm saying that some people shouldn't play, but when they often ruin a game by getting hostkilled or showing little activity, I don't see the point in having them... We just had two mafia that showed very little activity, and I can imagine the frustration of the rest of their teams, it ruins the strategic part not to be able to use their roles, plus what that does to the odds... Gladly they were from different teams xD Anyway, not saying a hostkilled person should be banned forever, but we do have "toxic" players, and I know we're free to chose not to play with them, but I kinda wish that wasn't the only option. So I think that 2 or 3 penalties in a game should lead to a hostkill, and that a person that get a certain amount of hostkills should be taken away from the game. Maybe, later, the host can review this "permaban", considering different cases, but still...

man


the host can see if they are being contributive or not...
no post,no night actions,no night time contributions on mafia....there were a few guys here that did that,no?
that's my biggest gripe....i loved those three penalty votes in the game...that will heat up your seat

Re: Mafia Game "Discussion" Thread v.9 - Part 5

A host deciding whether someone is contributing or not and hostkilling them is completely unfair. All the requirements should be is that they're posting and voting, that's it.

A host can deny people playing, ban or not. As long as it isn't an unfair reason, I don't see a problem with it. But a host going, "you know, this person isn't playing like they should"...that's way too subjective. Killing that person is basically the host playing the game for people.

Re: Mafia Game "Discussion" Thread v.9 - Part 5

How about carrying over the minimum requirement the next day if they fail to meet it. Like they'll have to make 6 posts instead of 3?

Obviously, sometimes people are busy. But having one inactive mafia getting modkill and another one just stay quiet throughout the night not saying anything is kind of annoying, tbh. But I don't think there's anything that can do done about the latter.
