Mafia 5 sign up and discussion *CLOSED*

Also Lunar: tl;dr

IT'S A SILLY FORUM GAME!

No. This isn't "Three word story" nor "Attempt to be funny while spamming". Oh wait.

You can create shorter games without removing discussion.

Go on...

Less players.
Less random or unexpected roles and effects.
Stricter night phases. No night phases.
More proper activity on behalf of the players (do note, most of Mafia 3 & 4 was just waiting for the inactives to post).

This last point can be enforced by being very strict with inactives, modkilling after not posting for 24 hours maybe? The exact period until modkilling should be analogous to the time limit on the whole day.

I want your comments.

tl;dr

I think a facepalm is in need.
One wonders why you discuss rather than just getting on with it, since you declare the futility and your indifference of and for (respectively) ones opinions.

Discussion is over!
I think this game needs a new, clean start. I will re-do Mafia 1. Kinda. Looks like I don't get more than 7 players, but we will do fine. Though I think the towns chances of winning are low... but the mafia won't have a roleblocker. And the town will have a doctor and investigator. No, btw... that won't do. 2 mafias vs 5 townies is still unfair. Even if we start with a day.
So, discussion is open again. Maybe only 1 mafia is a good option?

EDIT: Oh, when I looked carefully at Lunars post on page 1, I saw a "I'm in". Must have missed that. Or I probably didn't believe my eyes since all his posts are just full of criticism.

With:
- 4 vanilla innos,
- 1 inv,
- 1 ban,
- 2 maf,

the town has a very good chance of winning. The player list looks like the notoriously inactive players aren't taking part so I doubt enforcing activity austerely will be needed although it should be institutionalised for, you know, deterrence or what-have-you.

all his posts are just full of

constructive

criticism.

So yeah.

So.. are we starting?

7 players is a maaybe, but i guess 8 is ok. So, we will start.
Expect to receive your roles soon.
