Seriously though, I'm working on a setting, but not based on Sailor Moon, so don't get your hopes up.

At the request of many, if I have a free moment, I will also post some pictures related to Sailor Moon, but you understand the issue: I have accumulated a lot of pictures, and they don't all fit into one set, and the pictures are great, and not all of them are about Sailor Moon...

this is a creative process that requires some effort and time.

Hero enthusiast, maybe you have plenty of free time, or maybe you're at work, sitting in an office, browsing the internet, or you're not working yet and you're studying (while skipping lectures and seminars). It's your right: I don't think it's optimal to spend more than four hours a day on even such an interesting pastime as Mafia! If someone else confirms your position that the forum should only have hardcore gamers who spend more time online than in real life, I'll leave and won't bother you anymore. But for now, excuse me, I'll reserve the right not to rewrite dozens of pages of text from scratch that someone has already written. I'm not writing a thesis; I'm preparing an introductory post. I'm trying to take into account the players' wishes: Do you need pictures? I added pictures! Do you need pictures of the same size? I adjusted the sizes! Are you too lazy to click on a link and familiarize yourself with the setting on the wiki? I tried to explain that it's silly, but in the end, I gave in and spent several hours editing the "copy-paste" so that it would fit. If you have such a quarrelsome nature that you are always dissatisfied with everything, then, you know, it's not my fault. Any customer's whims should have reasonable limits. Just say directly that you don't want to play, and you'll save a lot of nerves and time!!!

you were given the right answer here.

If the "Beast" doesn't intend to use information from books/other sources as necessary in the gameplay, then you can easily do without role descriptions.

Then why... did you make me do these descriptions when I was trying to avoid them in every way? Do you have seven Fridays in a week, and I'm the scapegoat? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlXn2tDjHGQ

and as an off-topic! I've always been annoyed by this phrase:

Those who want to find a way, those who don't want to find an excuse.

Tell a person dying of cancer that they don't want to be cured! Tell a blind person that they don't want to see. Explain to a doctor who didn't save a patient that he "didn't want" to save him. Tell a raped girl that if she had wanted to, she would have avoided the violence! Tell a mother who lost her child that if she had wanted to, she would have found him again!:mad:

It's not necessary to copy and paste; just write a couple of sentences about each role in your own words, especially since the hints in the newspapers are based on information that can be gleaned from the descriptions.

If you are naturally inclined to be argumentative and constantly dissatisfied with everything, then, you know, it's not my fault. Any customer's whims should have reasonable limits. Just say directly that you don't want to play, and you'll save a lot of nerves and time!!!

Okay.
Here's another suggestion. Leave the current setup as it is for now and play a couple more games with other GMs (fortunately, there are some available now). I think that will be enough to understand who is dissatisfied with what. After playing a bit, it becomes clearer how to best format the posts so that everyone is comfortable: so that players don't waste a lot of time studying external resources, and the GM doesn't waste time writing unnecessary things.
What do you think about that?

P.S. Is it okay that I'm using "you"? Just in case it bothers you, it's better to tell me, don't keep it to yourself.

Okay, this is really off-topic. If you want to discuss possibilities and desires, there's a chat room and a forum for that.

It's not necessary to copy and paste something, it's enough to write a couple of lines about each role in your own words, especially since the hints about them in the newspapers are based on information that can be gleaned from the description.

Previously, this was considered insufficient. Those who didn't read the book demanded "more info" and were indignant at my unwillingness to provide all the information about the setting.

12-16 hours a day, the rest goes to sleep :(

but I also have work and a personal life, and I'm not going to sacrifice them for the GAME! Does anyone want to judge me for that?

Is it okay that I'm using "you"? Or is that annoying too?

it's not annoying

it's better to talk, don't keep it to yourself.

phrases like these in this context are annoying!!!!

Here's another suggestion. Leave the setting as it is for now and play a couple more games with other GMs (thankfully, there are some now). I think that will be enough to understand who is unhappy with what. After you play a bit, it becomes clearer how to best format the post so that it is convenient for everyone: so that players don't waste a lot of time studying external resources, and the GM doesn't waste time writing unnecessary things.
What do you think about that?

I'll say "Brilliant, Watson!" In fact, I started working on my own set only because I was asked to - "others, they say, are not ready, but we want to play." Now it turns out that a lot of people want to run their own games - go ahead! But don't pretend that I'm some kind of idiot who really wanted to beg you to play in an unfinished, unusable version of Mafia, okay?!

So, what are we going to play? Maybe we should start?

As I understand it, among the ready and tested sets, there's the "Kill Bill" set you suggested (have you drawn conclusions from the "test run," and has Mafia had its capabilities slightly reduced?). And there's the Shaman set.

It seems like it's your turn first, and then you can decide among yourselves who starts.
Otherwise, it's really strange. There are so many ready sets, but no one is starting a game.

I'll say, "Brilliant, Watson!" Actually, I offered my set only because I was asked to – "apparently, others aren't ready, and people want to play." Now it turns out that a lot of people are eager to run their games – go ahead! But don't pretend that I'm some kind of idiot who really wanted to beg you to play an unfinished, unusable version of Mafia, okay?!

Well, there weren't any sets available if you're following the overall situation and not just your own feelings...
Okay, so you agree. I hope that a Valdemar or Shaman (or someone else's) game will start soon, because the closer we get to New Year's, the less chance I have of participating.

Vall d'Emeroll, what is the correct transcription of your name?

previously, they considered this insufficient. Those who hadn't read the book demanded "more information" and were upset by my unwillingness to provide all the information about the setting.

You didn't seem to have any of that. Only the functionality of the roles. Look at the last Mafia game, for example. It was also based on a book. The Game Master could have also summarized the work and fit it into a dozen posts, but instead, he concisely described the setting and the characters. Short and to the point. Why can't you do the same?
P.S.: What we have now, despite its volume, would be much more readable if there were more punctuation marks and they were in the right places. I understand that a rubber keyboard isn't the pinnacle of convenience, but you could at least try, right?

If that was the case, then that's their problem. The main thing is to describe the functionality in these few lines, omitting unnecessary data that is not relevant to the game.

He compares the ancient, powerful vampires to some goblin-elves.

Really, Kosha? Vampires, especially the ancient ones, are practically walking heresy. And Falmer... Ugh, if it weren't for these guys, Skyrim wouldn't be nearly as interesting. They're very atmospheric. And together with their insects, they are one of the most dangerous opponents, even at high levels, because they deal a lot of damage.
So that poor vampire was very lucky that he was given that pompous name, "Falmer."

You're talking about being overly dramatic, right? )

By the way, I think we were talking about a Skyrim-themed mafia.

I'm not against it either. But maybe, if we're going to create a mafia based on the Elder Scrolls, we could choose a different episode? Or the same Skyrim, but a different time period? Just a suggestion, but I'm not insisting.
