TL Mafia

[image loading]


As of right now, it seems like every sub-forum in sports and games appears on the sidebar, (DotA2, LoL, etc) currently it also seems like the Mafia subforum is dealing with an extreme shortage of players, due to many of our veteran players being otherwise occupied. While we will be putting up a recruitment post to help remedy that shortage, in general recruitment posts give the subforum a small boost of players for a short amount of time and then they leave and we are back where we started. I feel like this is partially due to how hidden the subforum is. I understand some of the reasons why its not as visible as the other sub-forums (avoiding game interruption, etc) but really right now it feels like TL Mafia needs more exposure. I think a good way make the mafia forum more visible would be to make it appear on the sidebar, making it easier for new people to stumble upon the subforum.

We discussed it as a community in this thread and we seem to have generally agreed that it would be a good thing.

So, can we please get a spot on the sidebar like every other sub-forum?

Thank you for reading

I fully agree with this the Mafia forum needs more players at the moment and this is the best way to go about it.

The change would definitely be appreciated. The current 2+ week wait to get a single game started can be frustrating at times. If its a matter of not wanting a laundry list of threads on the sidebar, even a subforum header whose threads are minimized by default would be helpful.

Yes please! Currently it's taking a very long time for games to start up; a 2 weeks wait usually from the thread being started to signups being filled up. This would be extremely helpful. Also,

I think its pretty easy to tell what's more important.


If Health and fitness deserves a place on the sidebar, so should we in my opinion.

As a completely unrelated person who was not paid to say this, I think that this is a fantastic idea.
Enjoy your day.

I don't know if it's a good idea but I certainly don't think 'because it needs more exposure' is a reason they would visibly put it on the sidebar; similar to their featured streamers policy.

Why not?

What determines that any other subforum, say the LoL forum, needs the sidebar more than the mafia forum? If its a question of who benefits more I think we could argue that the Mafia forum would reap more benefits, if its not a question of what the forums get out of it then what criteria is used ?

I think You've misunderstood which sidebar we're talking about. It'd be placed down in the "Sports and Games" section on Your left.
Yes, I want TL Mafia on the sidebar. Less fun with random rambling, but more people, bigger setups.. What not to love?

Getting more games running would be awesome!
It'll take some initial moderation to crack down on people dropping in and spamming games but otherwise should be good.
We should think of a standard baseline for all the punishments we want in place, eg. mig's ban discussion beforehand.
