BZP Mafia Discussion

I would almost suggest moving Last Letter Game, Steal the Mask, etc. to a subforum where posts don't count, while the "actual" G&T games do count for posts... because I feel really disappointed sometimes for not being rewarded for my commitments to Mafia and Bionifight and such, while people in the RPG forum... XD

That, and also have a separate profile field for G&T Posts, probably.

Agreeing with Chro, maybe a division into "light" (posts don't count) and "serious" (posts do count) games could work.

(although it does sound a bit odd if named like that; maybe something like "one-liners" and "strategic and text-heavy" would be better :/)

I think it's fine how it is...

A lot of games like Bionifight and Mafia have a whole ton of 1-line posts. (I would be curious to see how many posts I would have if they did count it in the G&T, though =P)

It still is too easy to spam. I would like to be able to see the number of posts you made in G&T and such on your profile again, though. That would be cool.

The profile page now displays a member's most active forum and how many posts they made there again.

First off: Holy moly you scared me, Wind.  That notification was pretty darn scary haha.

Secondly: Really?! When did that get reimplemented? =O

EDIT: Well, shucks. It really is there. That is pretty awesome!

Hurray for showing most active forum again! 

E: I've only made 3667 posts in this forum? Wow. I thought it was higher.

I thought I was higher, too...

Well, now I'm one higher than I was =P

I'm pleasantly surprised by the amount of posts I've made here - almost as much as Voltex! (Although for some silly reason I used to post in Steal The Mask so I guess we can discount about thirty of my G&T posts.)

Evidently you missed Steal the Mask 2 in it's heyday.

Judging by your sig quotes, you tried to make of it something it was not. I missed it by design.

I played in the original STM, but have pretty much neglected the other two. Seems to have gotten pretty chaotic

To the contrary, I think people tried to make it less chaotic and more story-based, which tanked the frantic, silly, irrelevant vibe I saw in the original.

Really? *shrugs* I just popped in one day and saw some really, ah, random posts. Mayble not chaotic.

Well, that too.

I do recall conquering Spherus Magna in the first game, and destroying the mask twice in the first game and twice in the second.

Oh. Ah, my fault for derailing the topic.

SO HOW 'BOUT MAFIA, GUYS

I LIEK

ITS GUD

I like it with a slice of cheese, ten bloodthirsty type twos, a quad-lynching, and interesting mechanics. 

Once the current mafia games have finished, what then? Referring to QP's Mafia and the Ninjamafiago. Perhaps a small break in terms of the side games would be necessary.

That might be nice.

[secretly hopes that XIX will be the only Mafia game running]

I don't see why we need a break between side-games. No one has been complaining of Mafia-fatigue, as far as I know.

Besides, I'm eager to see Seaborgium host a game (granted, I'm not certain if he wants to host a side game or a main game, but side games seem to be the go-to place for new hosts these days.)

I don't know if I've said it, but I have both felt and sensed a certain level of Mafia-fatigue recently. =P

(Including that whole like three weeks where nothing happened at all, or was it longer?)

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm curious as to how many folks here are feeling fatigue. I know I'm not, but then I'm comparatively new here.

As for the weeks-long gap, I think that was mostly down to the hosts being busy or vanishing (though the fact that roles had to be reshuffled in Spacejitsu didn't help.)

I'm mostly over the fatigue now (thank god since I'm hosting two games back to back), but who knows

I too would appreciate a decrease in the frequencey of side games, as I have said before.

The thing to me that used to separate main games from side games is that side games were more rare, and often took place to practice experimental ideas or to act on an exceptionally large amount of activity. I could probably quantify exactly what side games used to be and what they are now with more time. Maybe tonight.

I feel the need to post here to allow for XIX to be teased.

I don't know why.

With Bionicle Mafia XVIII: By the Numbers 2 on the verge of ending, I figured that it was time I let you all in on a bit of what's coming next.

Is this anything to do with the Xaeraz constant?

The Xaeraz constant is the most ridiculous mathematical concept I've ever experienced. If the two are at all unrelated, I will seriously be disappointed.

Hey Voltex, you should see if Wind or Sumiki or somebody (who am I kidding) would be willing to put up an article about the game before it starts. It was neat to see MT's Ninjago Mafia up there... except for the fact that it was quite a ways into the game when that was announced.

The Voltex Constant? That sounds cool. Probably a new natural constant that has to do with mayhem and chaos... anyway,

^ this.

At least I'll finally not be confused by too-similar roman numerals for once. =D

Why would we want XIX on the front page though? I mean, it's not a particularly important game in the grand scheme of things. 

I mean, I guess we could try? There is the major draw that I have approached both XVIII and XIX with the intention that they could be the final Mafia games I host (so that I won't have any "omg i never did this" type regrets if I never host again, since my life is becoming busier).

But outside of that, there's not really much.  

If you think we should try, you (any of you) are welcome to PM Windrider and make the request; I, however, shall not.

It's up to you, since it is your game. I was just bringing up an idea to potentially boost G&T's popularity/population by showing everyone something fantastic (including giving them a chance to participate). Conversely, if this is theoretically one of your Last Games, then it might be best to leave most of the spots for G&T regulars and the like - people who would really not want to miss your last game, rather than people who don't frequent G&T who might just want to play to see what it's like, go inactive halfway through, et cetera. That's highly subjective though.

First post has been updated with links to the Epic Series! I originally wasn't going to link them, but due to a variety of things that are in the works, I figured that they should be added.

Oooh... Exciting...

Well I decided to reread Two For All to get an idea of what I did wrong

hahaahaha why did i think closing voting early was ever a good idea. that's not going to happen again.

Never close voting early, no matter how much people beg.

I'll just put this here
