[8/7/2014 2:20:09 PM | Edited 2:20:29 PM] hm: competitive needs to grow up and understand that not all players will as adept as they want to, training needs to realize there is more to mafia than sheeping the clear or following a PR
[8/7/2014 2:22:05 PM] hm: there has to be a balance
[8/7/2014 2:22:26 PM] hm: newer players would learn easier in situations where players were playing at a higher level, and pick up their habits
[8/7/2014 2:22:31 PM] hm: that is how i learned
[8/7/2014 2:22:56 PM] hm: i played games with players much better me than me when i was trash and picked up on their habits and started to understand the fundamentals just by participating
[8/7/2014 2:23:13 PM] hm: mentoring is a system that is good on paper but i feel really distracts from the point of mafia which is learning it yourself
[8/7/2014 2:26:07 PM] hm: they both have attitude problems, competitive needs to be more understanding and stop assuming every training player is ruining their precious mafia game, and training needs not treat competitive like a big bad bully intent on ruining their flawed way of playing (because, let's be serious here, the lifeblood of EpicMafia has always been the competitive aspects but who is to say you have to be competitive in order to understand the game)? nobody is learning anything in training because they are picking up bad habits by players who are no better than them, and then those players grow up to be training tryhards who think they're top *** but don't dare go to competitive

c+ping my conversation i had on skype about all this
[8/7/2014 2:17:24 PM] hm: single lobby is literally the only solution and lucid has ignored it since forever
[8/7/2014 2:17:56 PM] hm: stop trying to segregate the communities, this is why there is so much strife between them
[8/7/2014 2:18:50 PM] hm: both of them are treating each other like mortal enemies over a text-based mafia game
[8/7/2014 2:19:44 PM] hm: this isn't some sort of battle where one side needs to prevail over the other, all problems would cease if people tried to understand the differences of the communities instead of shunning for them not being their own
