I really think it's annoying to hear stuff like "lurking is an extremely viable strategy for scum to use".. but it could be just me, and you do what you want. I would like to try something out, yes. Have people compete in writing like they are having fun, just a regular group chat among TL-ers. Joke, make references to starcraft, memes, word play. My theory is that he who lacks the ability to convince the others that he's having fun will most likely be scum. Why? Because lurking is no fun.. and like you said, mafia don't have any problem with playing like that, town does. Mafia want the game to be boring and unreadable, town doesn't. Yes it's rather unconventional and not in the guides yet but let's do try it. So content-less jokes, memes and sc references are now townie? No. This is exactly how scum would want to play, they can get anyway with anything in this idea of a town atmosphere. You know whats fun in Mafia? Catching scum. Not posting just for the hell of it and trolling the thread away. This is a newbie game we should be looking to improve through discussion of the game itself. I'm sorry but your idea is stupid, especially for a newbie game. | ||

Odds are 7 to 2 that I'm going to be townie so I'm not trying to trick you into playing badly so Mafia wins. I just think I gave it a little more thought than you have. I see some problems like the thread turning boring and people going inactive because they're like: aww shit I have to read thorough this pile of accusations, lurker philosophy, poor or non-existent argumentations and whatnot just so I can find out if 30 hours later the guy i voted for gets lynched or if the guy who gets lynched is scum or not. Personaly I'd like some salt and pepper so my curiosity gets me reading and get a couple of laughs as a reward. The discussion you seek will most likely never emerge, i dare you to prove me wrong. My guess is there's gonna be faceless people with no personality blindly accusing and insulting eachother. You might as well go into politics for that. | ||

It is the only way to emotionally stir up someone you don't know on the internet. You are really offending me, needlessly. You can say that you want my family to die of cancer (Alfio style) and it wouldn't be as offending because both of us know that you have no reason to hate my family. But if you call my idea stupid .. I don't know your level of intelligence, your mental achievements, your sense of humor or your motivations in life and I can't have someone i don't respect calling my ideas stupid. So pretty please with sugar on top ..remember to refrain from doing that and politely disagree next time.

What you are calling a personal insult is nothing of the sort. I do not think you are stupid, I just think your idea for this game was. I have to read thorough this pile of accusations, lurker philosophy, poor or non-existent argumentations and whatnot just so I can find out if 30 hours later the guy i voted for gets lynched or if the guy who gets lynched is scum or not. Someone correct me if I am wrong but this is EXACTLY why we play mafia. To read other players, to see if we can outsmart and outthink them to lead our team (town or scum) to victory. If accusations, lurker philosophy and arguments (alongside 30 hour waits) are not what you are looking for maybe you should consider not playing forum mafia. You seem impatient and bored without the game even begining. The fun in the game should not come from the content of the posts but in deciphering the messages that they send. Your solution sounds lazy and as if you don't care about the game of mafia at all, you just want us to entertain you with funny posts. | ||

Should you possess any speck of intuition you would realize that this is not what it set to be and how it was played and is played on higher levels. A lot of veterans even choose to play elsewhere because the rigid attitude that TL has come to identify with lately doesn't reflect the spirit of the game. I'm not asking you to entertain me, but I'd be willing to entertain entertain you .. get lost in the lore and immerse in these roles even.. and I can't do that if someone keeps saying stuff about this being a newbie game and repeat and quote what other people say how you should play. Suggesting I shouldn't play = rude, insulting. Saying you aren't stupid your ideas are = rude, insulting, condescending. I don't get why you do it, I honestly don't. | ||

I don't get why you do it, I honestly don't. This is completely untrue. I do not think that anything I have said should have any of the descriptions you used attributed to them. As for everything else you said I would love to hear someone else's opinion because I am still new here and while I've played a fair share of forum mafia, I have no idea what to say to you | ||

That being said, a TL mafia game is not the place to discuss recent starcraft results or hot news topics, and I don't think that's what FourFace is necessarily suggesting. There is plenty of room for jokes and fun to be had, as long as it is kept in check and does not detract from the game. It also leaves plenty of room for roleplay if that's your thing, or straight up wackiness if that's your thing. You just need to remember that people might lynch you for it Lets all remember that we're here to have fun . I'm going to send out the role PMs in a couple hours, and we'll get started at 00:00 GMT (+00:00) tonight. I'm looking forward to it, and I hope you all are too. | ||

Day 1 ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/sRNDG.png) It was a peaceful morning at the Liquidia Aquatic Zoo. The sun was shining and it was warm outside. The clock went on, and one by one the workers slowly started to arrive. As usual, it was time for the morning routines at the zoo, making sure that everything is alright before opening to the public. Liquidia Aquatic Zoo had recently gained some rare new species for show, including a speartooth shark, a hawaiian monk seal, and a knysna seahorse. These would be exactly the solutions they needed to gain more viewers, and thus enable them to continue to operate their zoo and spread the word about endangered species. After all, everyone wanted their years of hard work to flourish, and the Liquidia Aquatic Zoo was currently everything they had once hoped to achieve. While passing through the tanks of the animals, going by the sharks, the seals, several species of turtles... everything seemed to be fine, until all workers were suddenly alerted and asked to gather at the office. One of them was shaking, and his hand was partly covered by blood. He then went on to tell everyone what he had seen as he was passing one of the reptile areas. One of the alligators was contently chewing on a limb, which after a moment was found out to be what was left of Radfield, the Manager of the Liquidia Aquatic Zoo. Also, a small piece of paper with notes about certain species, money, and contact information was found next to the coat of Cephiro, the Vice Manager of the Liquidia Aquatic Zoo. Apparently, some of the employees were planning on snatching some of the endangered species and selling them for money. But who of them could belong in such a gang? And so the pointing of the fingers started... Radfield, Manager of the LIquidia Aquatic Zoo has been found Eaten! Cephiro, Vice Manager of the Liquidia Aquatic Zoo has gone Missing! Day 1 will end in 48 hours, at 00:00 GMT (+00:00) on Sunday Apr 1st(or Monday morning for you Euros). A few reminders before we begin: This is NOT a majority lynch setup. Whomever has the most votes at the end of the Day will be lynched. You need to post at least once per Day and Night, and voting is mandatory. You may not abstain, vote for a no-lynch or vote for yourself. From this point on, if you would like to be replaced out of the game, please PM me directly. DO NOT post your replacement request in the thread. Please keep things civil, and treat each other with respect. If I feel like you are stepping out of line, I will send you a warning via PM. If you receive a warning from me, please heed it. Most of all, Have Fun! Mafia is a frustrating, rewarding and enjoyable game, lets make it a good one! + Show Spoiler + Full credit to Cephiro for the picture and story! | ||
