They're holding an exhibition game for backups who didn't sub in during the actual championship games. May it be a more pleasant experience than the Mass Effect game I participated in over there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheIrishman Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 I'll sign up as well. I'm trying to find more places to play mafia that don't suck, any suggestions (just wanting to multi-task and gain experience faster)? Not a huge fan of mafiascum's layout. Unsure about Mafiauniverse. Seems like too much for me from Orange's 2000+ post Mass Effect game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeP47 Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 As much flak as I give it, I'd say MU is still worth checking out. The game I was in was an exception where there were so many players the OT kind of overwhelmed the actual game, and there was just one guy in particular who was a poor player IMO that kind of ruined things (flipped out so much when I called him scum that he blocked me). Barring those two things, though, it seems like a pretty good site. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsure about Mafiauniverse. Seems like too much for me from Orange's 2000+ post Mass Effect game. Having watched several of the Mafia Universe Championship games, I think the biggest perils one can expect to run into there are the fact that people make a billion posts, and sometimes people react in very unexpected ways to things that you might think are normal, just because what they are used to doing on their home sites is different. I've seen heated arguments over very basic mafia concepts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Category 5 Hurricane Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 I shouldn't say biggest. I mean, most likely. The biggest problems you might run into would involve a massive outcry against a perceived illegal move involving a fake-vote-trap or something similar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheIrishman Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Alright, I look forward to it, though I am a bit apprehensive about what I'm seeing. Like, I don't like how they seem to always mention the team composition, e.g. 13 players, 4 scum. For us, we can be in a situation where there are 2 scum dead, but the game isn't over. Is there another scum? or is there a TP SK? or might there be a TP cult leader? Figuring it all out yourself is part of the fun/challenge. Also vanilla roles are the bane of my existence. Just makes the game boring if you're unable to do anything. Actually, the more I look over their games, it seems like theirs have training wheels (or ours are just more chaotic). Locked in votes on Lylo? Letting people know certain roles don't exist beforehand, or even the exact mafia roles? If I do try to do a game on their site, it'll probably be later when a game with flavor pops up that interests me. Can you explain more on the fake-vote-trap? And the something similar? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Category 5 Hurricane Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 In one of the Championship games, during LYLO, a player tricked the automatic GM system by spelling a players name incorrectly "Yetl" instead of "Yeti". The scum player in this game immediately pounced on the vote thinking he won the game. When the game didn't end, the both town players figured out what happened and thusly won the game. Most players on the site considered it an illegal move and wanted the town victory annulled and the player removed from the competition. I feel that in a game of deception, voting tricks are one of the few tricks town has, and scum need to be careful about jumping on something when being incorrect about it would mean certain loss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheIrishman Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 I agree about the latter half, but I don't think I can agree on voting tricks. Simply because it's essentially the same thing as a fake action, which is considered illegal. Also, if a person accidentally (obviously not in this case) misspelled a person's name for a vote, that should also count, imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Category 5 Hurricane Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Speaking of game composition and roles, it does seem that basic vanilla setups are most popular there. Hell, I just saw a guy drop from the backups game because the setup included one alignment cop. No other roles, just vanilla town, alignment cop, and vanilla mafia. That said, there are always several different games open, so if you're looking for a game there, there's multiple to choose from. Failing that, there's even a forum section where people advertise games that they run on other sites. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're using automatic vote counters, so good luck detecting and correctly assigning misspelled names. The official response to the "problem" was to make the system loudly report a vote that is invalid, in addition to officially making fake voting against the rules. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeP47 Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 The Mass Effect game was anything but vanilla, and it was a closed game setup, as opposed to the open type which I can agree tends to not be as fun. It's main problem was it was like a 35 player game. The rare and exotic games do exist there, they're just harder to find, partially because the automated system can't be used to its full extent so it requires an active GM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeP47 Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Oh, and forgot to add, there's a separate forum there IIRC for the non-fully automated games that you might have more luck in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Category 5 Hurricane Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 More like the game probably needs to be adjusted based on the number of players. A 12 player minimum is rather optimistic for this board, especially when doing an off-the-walls concept. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killing_You Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Such a shame. Perhaps you could retool this for fewer players and maybe try to run it at a later date? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
