Suggestions on improving atmosphere

[Verbal32]

For the most part though I would say the atmosphere is good here. I think alot of this stuff is overblown.

 

Absolutely.  Maybe me starting this thread is enough to solve the issues.  I'm back on DM full-time, and I'm going to be paying attention to when games start to have conflicts that extend past the point where they should within a mafia game (i.e. social media nasty insults, forcing modkills, in-thread nasty insults, etc.).

 

 

I would ask that ANYBODY, mod or player or spectator, to bring to my attention situations they think are getting out of hand.  If the mod handles it, then no prob.  If it needs to go beyond that, I'm happy to step in.  That said, I will not be stepping on mod's toes, though....so don't expect a mod ruling to be overthrown from me - that's not how I roll.

[Leelou]

Like, without calling people out, there is a certain player who clearly stepped outside the bounds of a mafia game, and attacked another player with some pretty nasty insults.

 

And there are people before who essentially forced a modkill because they were upset or whatever, and that negatively affected the game (and some future ones).

 

 

 

Point is, in BOTH of the above cases, I'd be willing to discuss with a council and decide on whether those players need a temp ban from the mafia board.  Agree or disagree? 

AGREE

 

 

But really, I just want a legit way to ban Leelou.  Hate that chick.

Hate you too.

I think we all have to realize is if youre gonna play Mafia you need to have a bit of thick skin imo.

 

Its not ideal but it it what it is.

 

As long as its not outside the spirit of the game or a direct personal attack, we have to allow for the fact people are different and some people are emotional and what you say to one person will effect someone else differently saying the same thing.

 

If you have a problem with a particular player dont play with them, (unless its me because even tho im annoying and dumb im still loveable imo).

 

We start giving everyone timeouts we wont be playing a lot of Mafia here on DM imo

Your last point I get. If you think the community doesnt need it then fine.

But, if bias is your concern as you are citing then you should want a few voices to weight in rather than one. The more people in on decision the less chance that it is swayed by someone's bias.

 

 

It's more that I trust Verbal's ability to be an impartial judge. I think giving more people power over the decision will lead to more drama. 

 

-snip-

What if it was just 2 other people?  Like 2 people weigh in with their thoughts and concerns on an issue I bring to them, and then I take their advice into consideration?

 

The decision still comes from me, so people can have me be the bad guy if they want, but I'll have a better perspective if I choose the right people to be the council.

 

None of this is concrete, btw - just fishing for ideas and thoughts.  :-)

 

 

The same 2 people every time, or different?

 

If it's different, then I stand by my drama point. People will be upset about the tban, and will blame (at least partially) the jury. Which will lead to more bitter feelings, etc. 

 

If it's the same, I'm more open to the idea. If you want the help it's up to your discretion. I just don't think that we need it as a community this small, but if you want it, sure.

I would not give a timeout to somebody because another player doesn't like being called a liar or that they have crap reads.  The bold is accurate.

He can't always be impartial though. He does play in games.

VERB GIVE ME A SEAT ON THE COUNCIL!!!!!!!!!1

He can't always be impartial though. He does play in games. 

 

 

But he wouldn't still be an admin after being here for, like, forever, if he let that influence his decisions when he's wearing his admin hat. Or at least, that's my logic.
