Guys, Vall d'Emeroll has come up with this idea. I think it's a good one, especially since we get visitors from other forums from time to time, and this newspaper would allow us to exchange experiences on a regular and structured basis. On the other hand, we already argue about every game (remember the infamous PERCENTAGES in Arcomafia), and I'm afraid this could turn into an epic inter-forum flame war. But I'm not against giving it a try! I think it's quite interesting and promising. I'm attaching a poll.

[19:06:40] Alina: Hi
[19:07:08] Alina: I have a cooperation proposal
[19:07:45] Alina: I described the main idea to the Master
[19:08:03] Alina: He said that you administer the Mafia section of Hv
[19:08:22] Drakkoshka: Hv is currently a bit down, I can't access it.
[19:08:29] Alina: I know
[19:08:38 | Edited 19:08:51] Alina: But are you willing to listen to the proposal?
[19:08:43] Drakkoshka: Yes.
[19:11:16] Drakkoshka: What is it?
[19:15:13] Alina: I'm working on creating a unified online Mafia newspaper
[19:15:21] Alina: I have a host and a forum
[19:15:27] Alina: I pay for everything myself, etc.
[19:15:37] Alina: The proposal is to create an Hv section for you
[19:15:46] Alina: Appoint a responsible person
[19:16:14] Alina: To promote it and participate in promoting the Mafia forum
[19:16:45 | Edited 19:17:05] Alina: We already have forums like TM, Hyper, MF (greetings to Kovalev) and the Vizheneo client-based Mafia
[19:17:37] Alina: The site works like an editorial office: you can upload all sorts of stuff: logs, drafts, PR ideas, etc.
[19:17:48 | Edited 19:17:57] Alina: The result will be a newsletter for the entire Mafia community
[19:18:45 | Edited 19:18:56] Alina: As practice has shown, a newspaper on a small forum dies quickly. But uniting us all is interesting!)
[19:20:01] Drakkoshka: Not bad, I like this idea. But I can't decide on my own. Can I post our conversation on Hv and we can discuss this with the entire section?
[19:20:40] Alina: yes, of course
[19:20:52] Alina: All we need from you is a representative
[19:21:03] Alina: I'll give moderator rights and so on...
[19:21:09] Alina: I'll give you the link
[19:21:30] Alina: http://правдамафии.рф/index.php
[19:21:37] Alina: It's empty for now
[19:21:55] Alina: But to prove that it exists, it'll do...
[19:22:29] Drakkoshka: Well, as I understand it, it's still in the development stage.
[19:23:21] Alina: yes
[19:24:06] Alina: Join us, and we'll develop it together
[19:24:59] Drakkoshka: Yay.
[19:28:46] Alina: I'll provide you with everything you need
[19:29:04] Drakkoshka: I can't give a definite answer right now, but don't count Hv out. I think things will become clearer in a couple of days.
[19:31:33] Alina: ok
[19:31:39] Alina: Talk to them
[19:32:03] Alina: I think it will be mutually beneficial)))

On the other hand, we argue about every game even now (remember the infamous PERCENTAGES in Arcomage), and otherwise, I'm afraid it could turn into an epic inter-forum brawl.

There won't be any brawls) Why argue over a column in a newspaper?)))

So, am I understanding correctly that the idea is to create a website that displays information about Mafia games on different forums? Including topics, features, the start of player recruitment, and so on? Or is the idea to create a special Mafia website that will host the games itself and recruit players from existing places? I just don't understand what a "general Mafia newspaper" is, to be honest.

I think the first option is better. As for the newspaper itself, it will most likely be created as a PDF and distributed or made available for download. That's how online newspapers usually do it, right?

Oh, I'm all for it. If it gains traction, it will be easier to gather people, and consequently, we can create more interesting and complex settings.

If there are any minor adjustments needed in the newspaper forum's engine, I can try to help. Although I can't guarantee anything.

If it gains traction, it will be easier to gather players.

Indeed, another argument in its favor. A call goes out: "Guys, there's a mafia on this forum, and we can't seem to get enough players, come on over, hurry up, the game has these and these features, here's a link to the forum, we welcome you to our little community," and people start joining.
It will also be possible to introduce a more specialized forum structure, where those who specialize in certain things will run specific mafias, and players from all forums will move back and forth depending on what they want to play at the moment. Or even the opposite, we can learn from each other and run mafias based on other people's templates or with elements of other people's templates, and other people, accordingly, will borrow from us what they like. In general, it's a promising idea.

I think the first one.

Then, no words, I vote for option 1 in the poll.

Bumping the thread.
So far, no votes against. I think creating a subforum is just a matter of time. I suggest displaying this masterpiece by your humble servant right away on the main page.

And, seriously, the discussion raises the question of a "forum representative" who will manage the subforum and compile ideas into articles for the newspaper. I suggest choosing two people right away so that they can cover for each other if needed.

The image somehow resembles typical covers of glossy magazines.

Guys, obviously option #1, voiced by Draccoshka. Who will be the representative? The representative registers, I give him rights and the HeroesWorld section. And insert any pictures)))
