I just realized bozo is not in this. Where bozo?!?!

Who else are we missing? rdr is presumably busy. Anyone else? Let's shoot for 30 players :D

I actually don't care how my opponents play. Even if all players were seriously going for the win, there still is a variety of skill levels and styles of play. My job is to analyze and assess the most likely course of action my opponents will take. From there, it is up to me to maximize my chances o...

I also tried OpenDominion and had a slightly worse experience. I tried a more conservative approach than sweet, exploring and playing it like an idle game rather than attacking (which is supposed to be more newbie-friendly). I got attacked early on and more or less knocked out of the game. There we...

whats tia mean and confirm

Thanks In Advance

To me, it comes down to the fact that ultimately, it's a competitive game. If I'm not playing to win, then I'm making the game all about me and my personal tastes, rather than making the game enjoyable for others or actually fulfilling the purpose of a game. Stabs, eliminations, and draws aren't pe...

Severely tempted to join and just play as low-effort-sweetandcool

Just slank for a day or two

Slank?!

I decided to try out this game, so here is a review: I was going to write a pretty detailed review, but I don't have the time and I know I can be really long-winded. So I will just summarize. I participated in a tester round, which meant the game was only 12 days long versus about 40ish days. You pl...

Severely tempted to join and just play as low-effort-sweetandcool Dew wit Do it… Alright, I'm in. I suppose I need something other than reading up on postgres to get me through the night. I imagine I'll post less than 10 times per phase. But those posts may or may not be meaty. It's entirely possib...

I keep seeing this crop up as a talking point and I just want to reinforce that when the GMs participating in this conversation say they may reroll because a Mafia team consists of all new players, they are not talking about players that have played 1-2 games. They are talking about completely unkn...

Aw man, I'm missing out on Dousing! Hope you are well. Hi sweetandcool! I’m good sweet-kun hope you’re good too! I actually quit my job on Monday and in three weeks I’ll be moving to Montréal. I’ll be living there for a year (dans l'espoir d'apprendre le français). Oh wow, are you still looking to ...

I have a small question about Mafia then: on the first turn I see people often call out "obvscums" – is that simply guesses to start the conversation or is there somehow some way of actually feeling it? I feel like in this community we don't throw that term around very much during the first day. Ho...

Aw man, I'm missing out on Dousing! Hope you are well.

I think I haven't moved on from this topic. I think we haven't had enough people talk about it and give their thoughts and inputs in. I think we haven't found a perfect solution yet. Though I think no single person can call exactly what to do here, and given it has grown this big, I think the best ...

I don't think I can trust someone to GM Mafia games if they don't swear to never ever watch a Kevin Spacey movie.

Phases are 24/24 and players may talk during the night in the game thread. Participation requirements are unique, please read carefully, you don't have to post, but you do need to vote! If a player habitually fails to post as a strategy they will not be sanctioned. Posting Rules: No Min or Max Voti...

I'll play. I'm in, but will be using perplexity.ai to help me phrase everything in terms of a game I don't know. Also, @brain, if a PR is recruited and consumes the tadpole (eww...why?!), do their retain their powers? Why yes my young apprentice. If Lord Gortash sees fit that you fine PR join his l...
