Mafia Grievances

[bgrishinko]

I think, as a whole, the atmosphere here on DM is pretty good honestly in most games. People just want to have fun. Its a game. If folks are thinking of it as anything more, well, shucks. Like any game, sometimes people make mistakes and bad plays. But in the end those with good sportsmanship say Good Game and shake hands and offer advice to better the game for next time.

I'm taking a break from games as a whole once the last few wind down, I'm still debating whether or not to stay in DPR's and Alanna's signups. The atmosphere, gameplay, and activity level as a whole has been bothering me lately. Not to mention just really bad plays, day vigs shooting the cop as soon as the game starts... One of the worst plays ever...

 

We all have times where we think somebody made a bad play. Sometimes we are wrong due to not having complete information, but other times we are right. In those instances, there is something called TACT.

 

Some people need to learn how to use it.

[hazelkrs1]

Sorry, just to satisfy my curiosity, what game did that happen in?

[WWWwombat]

That sounds awesome lol.

LilKat's Occult game in Thakandar

[Kathleen]

In his defense, there was no way he knew he was hitting cop. He was a new player and he was very excited to have a role.

 

I'm not saying it was a smart move, but it was an excited newbie move and I won't hold it against him. I hope people let that unfortunate incident go and I really hope tht player does give mafia another try.

[Arez Al'Loke]

Haha xD Kudos to him ^^

 

As A vig, you have to take big risks. More often than not, you go on gut feelings. Sometimes, it pays of, sometimes it doesn't =P

[LilyElizabeth]

Verb, I am newer than Jack, so my "old days" are more recent than your "old days" heh

Mine make sense when explained out. I usually miscalculate. Like the SB game my whole play was based on Mafia having kills we saw how that went.

[JenLenaMom]

Miscalculating, is that what you call flouncing out of a game and getting your replacement insta-lynched?

[bgrishinko]

Some say miscalculate, some say bad play... potato, potahto...

[peacesells]

EP it makes no sense when you play a solo game as town. You try a crazy play that has a 1 in 100 chance of working that hurts town the other 99 times. Even if you don't know who your team mates are you still need to play like you are on a team. And even when you do know who your team mates are you don't play a team game. You play a selfish game.

 

I told you that story about the young bull and the old bill for a reason. But you chose to ignore the hint. I'm not going to hint anymore. You play selfishly without regard for others then you get all emo about it when others point it out to you.

 

A little self reflection would do you some serious good.

This.

 

Honestly, when you are in 2-5 concurrent games what difference does it make if one of the games has a bad outcome? Get over it... seriously this is a thread full of butthurt about playing online "guess who".

 

Wow.

Basic game follow the cop is just the worst..

[Sakaea]

Here we go with the inactivity again.

[Nolder]

yell at everyone

that will fix it

 

no seriously though if there is inactivity mods should be on top of it

[John Snow]

If/When I mod, if I can pull it off, I'd like to make a 1 post/day minium rule. 3 strikes and you're replaced.

[Nolder]

the thing about those kinds of rules is I have literally seen people make ONE post a day that was something like "hey, still here! I don't have a good idea of what's what right now so I'm not going to vote. see you tomorrow!"

And then there's someone who's been fairly active and playing the game who just wasn't able to get online for one day

Do you give them a break? Well why not the other guy? Why not for two days?

Becomes very arbitrary

 

And on that note what I try to do is just be very arbitrary about it

Anyone who doesn't check in by the end of day 1 should be replaced or modkilled

And from that point on I give people maybe 1-3 IRL days to be inactive per gameday and if it starts to go overboard I contact them or replace/modkill

 

Basically I just eyeball my game

If it's moving at a decent pace and generally everyone is participating I wont harp on one or two inactives because if it's just one or two people I think the town can handle it via lynching if they want to

If inactives are crippling the game then I get involved

[John Snow]

ergo 3 strike rule *shrugs*

and mod is god. If mod wants to make an exception, mod can do that

[Sakaea]

I'm just getting frustrated, that's all.
