Posts from Mafia: general discussions.

My topic was deleted.

I will restore your topic after the voting results are in, if the voting determines that the topic is necessary.

My topic was deleted - I deleted a topic in response.
Revan expressed his opinion - he was banned.

Your topic was deleted because it was inappropriate and incited people to create similar topics - and in response, you exceeded your authority.
And regarding Revan, I already said, I'm not happy about it either.
Arandora and Neyra were killed in Mafia, and they decided to get revenge in the discussions.

Arandor is a moderator and can assign points to you himself if he deems it necessary.

I am a moderator and can delete my own topic.
And since you assigned points to Revan, go ahead and assign points to Naire. Her insult is harsher than his. Go ahead and assign them; you are a moderator and should act regardless of who is being insulted.

I will restore your topic after the voting results, if the voting determines the need for this topic.

Thank you. You can take your time and restore it next year or whenever you have free time.

Arandora and Neyra were killed in Mafia, and they decided to get revenge in the discussions.

Yes, yes)) it's almost a fact.

Your topic was removed because it was incomplete and incited people to create similar topics – and you, in response, exceeded your authority.

Is this written in the rules? No. What problems exist, other than personal dislike?

Since you gave points to Revan, go ahead and give points to Na'ire as well.

Are you just saying that in the heat of the moment, or are you serious? I have a very positive opinion of Na'ire, but if you insist, I'll have to give her some points.

Is this stated in the rules? No. What problems exist besides personal dislike?

When I said "not a clone," I meant it was a topic with a poll, but it shouldn't be a clone, as stated in the rules. So, Archie, you violated the rules regarding deleting/moving topics, and Slo and Zu were simply fulfilling their moderator duties.
Of course, it could have been avoided, but Tox scared our moderators by saying that this kind of thing would continue.
But you, Archie, can be proud of yourself; you ultimately got the topic with a poll.

Are you saying this in the heat of the moment, or are you serious? I have a very positive opinion of Ney, but if you insist, I'll have to give her points.

Maybe he should assign the points himself? He's also a moderator.

Zubr, seriously. Besides, what kind of sympathy are we talking about when the moderator follows the rules?

Maybe he should set it up himself? He's also a moderator.

But no one asked me; Zubr is used to doing everything himself. Let him set it up himself.

When I said "not quite a clone," I meant it was a clone, but with a poll.

And I don't consider it a clone, nor do many others. I didn't see any signs of it being a clone in my topic.

But you, Ar, can be proud of yourself; you still ended up getting a topic with a poll.

You wrote it as if I added it. Why would I need a poll for topics that don't violate the rules?

No, I don't approve of Reinhard's ban. Many people wrote here, and in a more aggressive way, but Revan ended up being the one who got banned. And in the end, everyone knows him and knows his communication style on the forum – he's always been like that (because he's taking an example from Morny)
And in general, I'm kind of tired of all the arguing... I'm going to go play Heroes 6.

But no one asked me; Zubr is used to doing everything himself. Let him set it up himself.

He set it up. Are you satisfied?

Many people wrote here, and in a more aggressive way.

I'm accepting requests.

I'm going to play Heroes 6.

I'm envious... you play during the day.

But no one asked me; Zubr is used to doing everything himself. Let him set it up himself.

You don't have the guts, that's why you're asking someone to do all the dirty work of the hated moderator for you?

She wrote it as if I added her. Why would I need a poll about topics that don't violate the rules?

A couple of days ago, you were complaining about your poll. Wait a bit, they'll return your topic, and then you can relax.

Added 3 minutes later

I've set it up. Are you happy?

I think so, more than happy, actually.

I'm accepting requests.

At least demand a reward from him for this. Otherwise, you're just working for him.

I'm going to play in the 6th realm.

I'm envious... you're playing during the day.I'm envious; I don't have access to the 6th realm

You have a thin skin, so you're asking me to do all the dirty work of the hated moderator for you?

I can find other swear words and add them. Do you need that?

A couple of days ago, you were complaining about your poll. Just wait a bit, they'll return your topic, and then you can relax.

You have... well, you know.

I can find other swear words and mark them. Do you need that?

Go ahead and punish all the people who use swear words, but don't get tired of it.

you have... well, you know.

I understand, but you're mistaken. Moreover, all these days and even now, it's you who is suffering from this. And you, just like before, are still the one who takes the blame.

Okay. I said that if Revan and Zubr clash, a nuclear winter will ensue. It's a pity.
Personally, I don't see any grounds for awarding points for insults in his post, but these are my personal criteria – what I consider an insult and what I don't. I wouldn't give any points.

In general, this whole topic about merging with the Workshop has long turned into a feeding ground for trolls, so I'm not commenting on it and won't be. But I would like to respond to something in Revan's post:

Oh yes, almost forgot. It's very mean to recruit players in private messages, without registration. "Only players who please me will play in my game!" and who cares if someone might have wanted to play.
I'm all for the GM having complete control over their own game and the topic related to it, but in this case, if they really wanted to see only specific people in their game, they could have created one on some forum like Yuku, or somewhere else, instead of clogging up the queue here.

This is not the first person to say that recruiting players by invitation is unfair. Maybe. But the point is that the usual "first come, first served" registration also has nothing to do with fairness. This is Mafia, not a 100-meter dash. How many people also "wanted to play," but there wasn't enough room for them? I think everyone remembers examples from different settings.
Recently, it has also become fashionable to show up in the topic with a bunch of business cards and take places for an entire group at once: "I want this number, my friend wants that one, and also my friend's friend and the friend of my friend's friend."
If, back in the days of 25 (if I'm not mistaken), Neyra's attempt to reserve a spot in advance was discussed and condemned, now it has turned into something like an attack of old ladies with bags on a bus: you come in five minutes later, and there are no places left, and bags are standing on the free spots, it's occupied.

But spending the night with a pillow by the monitor and guarding the opening of the game in the hope of being able to sign up – that's not very convenient, at least for me. By the way, I personally invited Kyle to my last game, but he simply didn't have time to sign up – the places were taken in less than a day. Kyle wanted to play and replied to me as soon as he could – please forgive him, he also works. Is this an example of fairness?

I can even appeal to logic and prove, albeit with some paradoxes, that "first come, first served" registration (which is what open registration has turned into) is the least "fair" way to register for Mafia.
So.
Those who spend all day on the forum sign up the fastest, that is, they don't work or study, that is, they are lazy, that is, they don't have high intelligence, and therefore have the least right to priority registration in an intellectual game.
Isn't that logical? :)

This was a joke, just for the troll-inclined. The point is that both ways of recruiting players for the game are debatable from the point of view of impeccability, so let it be up to the GM. At least, it is the GM who works while we play, so they have the right to this bonus.

but I don't ban people or assign scores.

Recently, a trend has emerged where people show up in the thread with a bunch of business cards and try to reserve spots for an entire group: "I'll take this number, my friend will take that one, and also a spot for my friend's friend and my friend's friend's friend."

That's where the root of the "battlehurt" comes from.
