Like you see "William Sha" and your mind fills in either kspeare or tner.

When you see "William Sha", you mentally pronounce "Sha" as "Sh" or "Sh", not "She". You're already filling it in with a vowel that sounds much more like that in Shatner than in Shakespeare, so you'll associate the blanks with him more readily

or not e

Listening to the voice acting for Umineko would turn a 100 hour game into 200 hours.


I generally don't listen to full lines voice acted in any game with it. I like having it but I read the line in my head quicker than they speak and then press X to move on, usually cutting the voice acting off halfway through. It's just nice to hear it anyway.

cold is subjective, it's whenever it's noticeably lower than what you're used to in the area where you live
"X degrees and below is cold" "no that's not cold" etc. arguments are pointless


Cold is objective. Anything with numbers assigned to it is 100% objectively quantifiable. And this is a case where certain numbers can kill you. Antarctica isn't not cold on days where it kills an uncovered person in ten minutes instead of eight. And those are numbers, dude. They may not be verified or sourced or accurate but they're definitely numerical and that makes them objective. All in all I don't think your post has much validity, I rate it 3/10


Okay so like first of all you are WAY too intense dude

And secondly I think he's right. Yes scientifically and factually "cold" might have a definition but in general when people say an area is cold they actually mean "it's colder than <what i'm used to>/<the average for this area>" and i'd say the definition of a word, in this context, should be "what people actually use it to mean" rather than "the scientifically accurate definition" so yeah

Enjoy. Unfortunate it doesn't have voice acting but at least the sprites are still an improvement over the original


There are mods you can get to use both the PS3 sprites (which are the best sprites) and voice acting in the steam version.


Oh?

Well that sounds intriguing...? Voice acting can only help, right? If it's easy to do, maybe I should.

(I know someone said we should find something less "modern" than Discord, but I don't know anything else, and I think this is the simplest thing for everyone to use.)

If you've never used Discord before, you literally just have to click that link to join the board 8 server and click on the #mafia channel.

We can't use AIM, but we'll find an alternative. I'm too busy this week to figure it out, but I can on Saturday.

So, unless anyone has any other suggestions, let's spread the word that Saturday night is mafia night!

It supports "chats" as in you can invite everyone into one message window and the window will be called "Dels, Para, Gravy, Wigs, Reg, and 25 others" or something like that

But the interface is really... shitty.

Hmm.

This may not end up working.

http://www.oldversion.com/windows/aol-instant-messenger/

I tried downloading both versions here, but neither of them let you actually log in.

The current version of AIM can no longer be downloaded from AOL's website.

Also, making a new AOL/AIM account now requires you to enter your phone number, which they send a code to that you can't log in without.

So I'm not sure how to proceed.

www.aim.com still works, it's just... lame and not really anything like the program we used.

The first night of AIM mafia played by board 8 was on December 16th, 2007.

AIM is going to be shut down permanently on December 15th, 2017.

It's been 10 years. (Sadly, it's off by one day)

I think, in honor of AIM, and to celebrate our 10-year anniversary, we should have one last night of mafia, played on AIM.

I propose Thursday the 14th. I am too busy on the other nights this week, (I could maybe do Wednesday), and even on Thursday, I won't be able to stay up late, so we'd have to keep it short. And it's the last day AIM will be online. I could also do a night this weekend, but it may be too short notice.

I know AIM is archaic and we'd be better off playing on Discord or anything else, but I think it's only fitting to say goodbye to AIM with one last night of tribute games. (And yes, we'd have to download old versions of AIM, since the new ones don't support chats)

Who would be interested in this? And if so, are you okay with the 14th?

Hey everyone.

Mafia Universe (the site that hosts the championship every year) is hosting a follow-up event. Here is the invitation I was asked to pass along:

Hydra Event 2017 - Interested?

Last year 220 players from dozens of different communities participated in the first ever cross-community Hydra Event. It was a big success and people have been wanting another one, so... It's finally here!

If you don't know what "hydra" means, it's when two people share the same account (two heads). So the concept is that each participating community can send multiple hydras if they want, each consisting of two players, which tends to make the game more fun in addition to making it easier to be active since two players are playing on the same account.

Sign-ups will be open for next couple of weeks. Those signing up will receive a link to a Doodle + a Google Survey so that they can be slotted into a game that suits their availability and preferences wrt game size and type.

If you'd like to play, just find a partner and lemme know either here or in the thread below.

More info here: http://www.mafiauniverse.com/forums/threads/12461-Hydra-Event-2017


As I've said before, I can fully recommend playing on this site: The community has some great people, the admin who runs this event is really passionate about mafia and is even writing a book about it, and the forum software makes mafia simpler than ever before, with automated vote counts and night actions and everything. It's an exciting place to be if you like mafia, and I'm sure these games will be fun.

good job

what happens if you just get killed N1? How do you gather votes to advance?


The system is not perfect, and this is one of the things that is kind of an issue.

That said, there are players who were killed on night 1 who received enough votes to place 2nd or 3rd (And many killed night 1 that moved on to wildcard round, which is partially what it is intended for)

No one killed night 1 got 1st place in votes though, as far as I know. However in one of the wildcard games, the player killed night 1 was widely speculated to be the one who was going to get the top spot.

However, townies who got nightkilled on night 2 were, in more than one case, voted as the best player.

So 2 days is definitely enough to give everyone a good idea of your skill level. 1 day is a lot tougher.
