@Lea good luck on your game. If you would like any tips on the players (I have played with many of them) you can dm me to get a run down on suggestions. If not knock em dead!

I have gotten used to playing mafia with people who weren't born when I started to play mafia

It's not a new experience lol

Well, we've got 11 people in the check in topic. The cool thing about MU is if we don't want to play with anyone from MU you don't have to, as subforums can restrict who plays in their games at their leisure. I don't think having a couple of people from MU in games would hurt too much though, its like a new person stumbling onto this forum except you know, not.

Also I doubt this MU thing is going to replace mafia as a whole here, plenty of people just want to stay here. Think of this as another option rather than a replacement.

I assume these turbos are not JST friendly

they happen all the time, tbh

they usually last like, 60-90 minutes?

Lopen posted...

Turbo is like aim mafia style right. I'm never playing another one of those again. But yeah let me know when we play a normal game over there and I'll play.

Kind of. In mu the turbos are open setups with like 15 minute days.

The most popular is a 10 player with a town joat and 2 mafia goons. Pretty fun tbh

Also to join turbos you just join the mu discord and !in at the turbo channel whenever a game signing up.

They are pretty chill. Mostly.

If it's in our subforum they are 100% hands off

A lot of our games would involve manual adjustments. Given we do nothing but manual here nothing changes lol

I might host an auto game there this weekend or next week just to get people to be familiar with the commands and stuff. We can keep planned games on b8 still since I know many don't want to go over quite yet. Cool thing about MU though is you can do turbos and more quick games so if nothing else we can run games in between our normal games lol

I had the admin setup me and Matt (marth) as liaisons just cause no one else really knows mu stuff

I am playing turbos more on mafiauniverse. They are 14 min day 3 minute nights. Join the MU discord server and the turbo channel if you want to play. They are simple open setups

everything all better now

Lesnar is one of the greatest sellers ever tbh

When he wants to

I sort by set, the numbers going from 1 to whatever pleases me lol

Lopen posted...

Yeah full agree. Bully God Chris was much easier to tilt and had worse reads on the whole (which I always felt was Chris's big weakness-- still is but now Id put them above average)

VERY true btw. I self admit my reads are my biggest weakness and also tilting always fucked with me.

So now if I get mad at someone I automatically assume they are town

100% good rate so far lol

Lopen posted...

Total package Chris is the best player here though I think he is not the best at any individual element of the game.

And honestly yes I wish the games were more chill here-- weird to hear me say but at this point Im probably one of the nicer players-- just a mirror who will fire back hard if people start with me (which gets me a rep since the meaner people are on the whole delicate for reasons I cant understand). I didn't just pop in to take shots at Crescent, just to say that yeah being nicer than here is probably good and Crescent would have been banned in any community with any sort of behavioral policing.

I feel like on a nicer community my raving theorycrafting would not be met with as much hostility which would be refreshing. I'm not sure I care enough about playing mafia to visit another community though, is more my problem.

Tbh they would like you a lot.

Also my scum game when I am not in meta hell has proven terrifying to every community I have been on this year rawr etc

But yeah it's highly subjective.

You arent playing god if youre genuinely the best player.

But also like. If you read most of the games there I am being super chill and just having fun lol

I like competitive games.

Let me know when you are free in the coming months and I will shout at you on fol or mu

Corrik7 posted...

Competition is fun to some and to others it makes them upset.

Yeah and I would say if you want a seriously competitive game just let me know and I will find the player list for you

For example fol runs 2-3 games at a time. I would say about 30% of the games are pretty competitive and the others are relaxed or fun gimmicky mafia variants.

I do enjoy real talk. Let's see if I remember how to do this.

Real talk? I don't need to play God anywhere. I am not a God on FOL, although I wrote flavor for a game poking fun of that image of me if anyone wants to read it, I am a teacher. Not that you would know this since you don't really know the situation but i was invited there a couple of years ago after I had a rough game from a good friend of mine as a chill place with low toxicity. Then the first game someone told a fellow player to kill themselves oops. They got permabanned at least.

At any rate like any community they have their strong and weak players, and on average I have proven myself to be above their average capacity as both alignments, but I could say the same for here as well. They just haven't quite learned to fear kill me as quickly as you guys did.

There aren't any places for me to really go. I play in a lot of different places. sc2mafia is a well known, highly skilled community. Won a 3p game there last year while having a delightful time. The Org has some of the very best people swing by to play in games, and I had two excellent games including a scum sweep of a player list full of people i would say are as good if not better than I am as a player blow by blow.

MU, mafia universe, is the biggest smush of players that play mafia online and in their year end awards I have a nomination for my scum play, my town play, and my mechanical play. I'm good in the confidence department when it comes to mafia.

I don't play here much (although I did play a fair few times last year) because the lack of features is truly mind numbing once you go elsewhere, and really there's nothing left for me here because I feel the way I am treated is set in stone most games. The meta on how to play me hasn't evolved in a long time. Maybe it shouldn't, you know fair. I enjoy most of our games together, but those two things make it so I feel like my mafia playing journey here is complete. If i ever felt like i could just be goofy and relaxed here I'd probably play more, but it is hard to be that way here for me.

The fact you need to spend so many words insulting players who just play the game for fun, and are mostly eager to learn and who a lot of them are barely adults says more about you than it does them.

Mafia is supposed to be fun. It's a hobby, and I already spent too much time here treating it like it wasn't. I would love to play with any of you on fol, on MU, or any other site i visit. Any of you are always welcome to play with me, you are my friends. But fol has been kind to me when I personally needed a lot of kindness, and the worst thing i can say about 95% of the people on there is that they aren't as good at mafia as me, which is ok.

and that player crescent loved to play with? He was once young and inexperienced too. He'd tell you that I and others helped him grow into the fantastic player he is today. You don't get players like him if you just toss aside people wanting to learn.

Crescent-Moon posted...

Sultan was trying to figure out what I even did to get banned and I think it's because I told some people in that game that the horribly ineffective way they were playing mafia in general was wrong.

I do know it pissed off that twit Leafia to be told actually having justification for your votes matters, for example.

I mean calling people twits might have something to do with it lol

Crescent-Moon posted...

Seriously though, if we ever do have another game here, someone at least invite Millium from that site to join. Some others would be ok, but they above the rest earned my respect.

They're a legit player who is being wasted by that community, and I want them to see a real mafia game.

Haha. Please have no fear. I know them by wisp and they are a very well known player who plays on multiple sites. I did a lot to help him when I was around on mtgs.

But this site is absolutely tragic for mafia because it isn't a mafia forum. I have raised the thought of having a sub community on mu but you lot don't like the idea so hey fair enough.

After your ban if you want to be a nice kitten I can just clue you in on which games have banger player lists. Usually when I am over there these days I am relaxed and carefree because they are young and many are pretty chill. Our community doesn't have one of the best track records in champs for nothing we are very strong here. But gotta pick your spots elsewhere.

You would probably enjoy playing with people like marl, windy, arete, and litten quite a bit to name a few.

Crescent-Moon posted...

I'd say maybe 1/3 of the players I've dealt with have any actual concept of how to play mafia. The common strategy tends to be "pile on people for no reason and hope".

Some of the people in the games seem to play quite lax, this is true. You also didn't get a chance to play with several of the better players who kind of do other things to begin the year.

It's always a mixed bag and player lists do matter. I think though, objectively, you could have handled yourself a lot better even if there were some players who were lacking.

Not like all of our games always have had banger player lists over the years.

Crescent-Moon posted...

I was far more tame in my second game (as noted by multiple people) and still got banned for a month for basically doing nothing.

Worthless site with a mostly worthless sack of players. No thanks.

You probably got the ban for the first game. You kept at it.

Great site tbh

Crescent-Moon posted...

I called someone that I've known for years dumb and got a warning for it.

Well fair, but I think a lot of comments towards that one newer person were pretty mean spirited tbh.

It's everyone's choice to play there or not so fair, and if you think the environment isn't for you I understand but i really like playing there precisely because people don't feel the need to insult a lot.

Eh, I do not seem to have lost any of my ability by simply not insulting people. i do agree, plenty of people use that sort of tactic. Its not that any one person is incapable of handling it, but it's not a rite of passage to be able to withstand insults.

I also think it hits different if you know someone prior to playing with them vs being a relative stranger. I will, for instance, insult my good friend litten all the time but it is understood that I adore him.

Crescent-Moon posted...

If there's one thing I have to say about this, getting multiple "Toxicity" warnings for the tamest play I've had probably in a couple of years is sure a thing.

My god this community is soft. In all the communities I've played in, I've never seen one this oversensitive.

The community is made up a lot of younger players, and pretty much all of the comments I imagine you got warned about aren't really needed. Especially on a forum where you don't know anyone other than a few people.

I have received no toxicity warnings in 2 years there, for example.

Last week had a few big upsets, although many got Denver right to my surprise. Sorozone did the best though going 11-3, beating out a lot of people who went 10-4 including my Partner who doesn't know anything about football and just goes with whichever one she likes more. Amazing gameplay tbh.

Well I'll give super super basic but. Water is your best friend drink more water and less of everything else. And Basic cardio does wonders even just walking. Also stand as much as you can Even just standing helps alot. Sounds silly but it helps first few days suck but doing so just releases bad toxins and it gets better

Thankfully I drink almost nothing but water! I dont drink stuff like sodas or anything, and yeah I walk as much as I can before i tire out. I've actually lost 20 pounds so far this year! I do appreciate it though, these are in fact good tips.

Base Set 2 if in good condition is still worth quite a lot tbh.

Also, there were 3 (4 but shh) runs of Base Set basically. First edition with no shadows, then after they printed the rest of the cards that were premade with no shadows without the stamp for first edition. Then every other set had shadows and thus were much more common.
