EPTAlso you can filter multiple people at once. This is really good for looking at how two people interacted. Also you can filter a player plus the host. This makes it so you can easily contextualize someone's posts with what day it was and most recent vote count.

But on this site, if you want to filter someone who hasn't posted on the page you are on, you either have to find a post they made or go to the op. Sometimes even the op doesn't have their filter (damdred..). Here's something else super useful about multiple filters. Say you want to filter someone who has been replaced. You can filter the original player plus the replacement to get a full filter of the slot. | ||

Of course that doesn't work so well with phone but i don't wanna go arguing about that because playing by phone is such pain in the ass anyways. | ||

We hardly ever have Instant majority lynch though, almost all the games are with a fixed deadline time and plurality (or deadline majority) lynch. | ||

I've played both. I prefer majority lynch, but its not like I'm not going to play a game because it has plurality lynch. Its actually the way I learned to play first. | ||

IML is probably the "worst" in a sense that people can make less arguments about the votes than in other methods. That's true, but you can also leverage bandwagons better with majority. | ||

Newbies usually take longer to fill up (on account of needing newbies), but we are at 4 (once I move sqrt) so it is not too bad. Another game is underway as well, so that might be impacting some vet spots being open. Just depends tbh. | ||

I am pretty sure this is mostly wishful thinking since this game has been open way longer than the ongoing game. If people in that game wanted to play this one they probably would have joined this one. | ||

I was talking about the now empty slots for this game. | ||

You can ISO up to 3 people at a time just like you can do for one person's posts here. They also have voter tags. They also have all your standard forums stuff. This forum is a bit odd, but workable I think. I think ISO is better on this site than a lot of sites, but there are some things this site lacks like something as basic as custom avatars. MafiaScum is the best site to play forum mafia on because that is its specific purpose. I have to feel this site out a bit more before I decide how it compares to other sites with a fair outlook. As an aside if I get to have a coach and I can pick who that is I would like to pick you as my coach. FYI requests are cool and esp if you have a specific aim, but considering rayn is a listed town coach if you roll scum, you will get whoever the scum coach is. (That said, he is a good coach otherwise in spite of what he says about his English language ability xD.) Filter debates aside I've debated trying out mafiascum because of my work schedule (48h cycles are not sustainable for me anymore, if a random business trip pops up, I'm canned) - are all games an entire week for a dayphase or can they vary between 4-7 days? I know replacements are oftentimes because the game just goes quite long and if you have a 4-day game where town loses in m13 after 4 MLs, that equates to games taking a month long assuming 6-7 day long dayphases. I'd say the key things here are the 48h dayphases (and 24h nights), plurality lynch (most people here hate majority, I can handle deadline majority, all it means is that towns need to work together better - but IML is a joke because of timezones most of the time), forum layout and to some extent the mechanics. As for community, most people here are civil. Some aren't and thankfully they are dealt with accordingly/debated for punishment post-game. With respect to gameplay, I'd say MOST newbie games are slower paced, but non-newbies, depending on the signups can be spammy. Some players post way more than others and in certain threads, it has been mentioned that the 48h cycles have a lot to do with this attribute given the types of players this type of cycle would draw. Also TL in general is first and foremost a gaming community, so many people here will also game with each other outside of forum mafia, including members "retired" from TL mafia. I play a lot of Dota 2 and a few things else with others, but others here play overwatch, sc2, league, hearthstone and a host of other games on the TL discord channel. | ||

I play a lot of Dota 2 and a few things else with others, but others here play overwatch, sc2, league, hearthstone and a host of other games on the TL discord channel. Yeah, wasn't really sure how the coaching works here. I think it is somewhat up to the discretion of the game maker what length the games are technically, but I've never actually seen a game with less than a week long day. I think I prefer a 4 day long day/night cycle with majority, but I've never actually played a game like that. 3 day long day phase seems the right amount to me. Enough can get talked about to make an informed decision and I like the way majority works with Bandwagons better than plurality where everyone is pretty much just doing their own thing (as Town). There are always a few bad apples no matter where you go. Some sites however, are just plain toxic. Glad this isn't one of those I guess, but I suppose that kind of thing is relative. Yeah, I know what TL is about since my brother was a huge BW player, but he now plays Dota 2. He did play SC2 a bit and did the whole manager thing, had a good team, but I forget why he stopped doing that. I don't really play blizzard/valve games too much because there is just something toxic about the player base that completely turns me off to it. I'm more of an RPG guy myself. | ||
