I heard this in a game earlier, and wanted to confirm that this was false. Would love an admin opinion on this.

Were you born a girl and named (What enlyin posted)

Or born a guy and named (What enlyin posted) Then had a sex change and changed your name because being a girl named (What enlyin posted) would be socially unacceptable?

It's not a bad idea! No one ever said it wasn't! What I'm saying is that you can't be mad at these new players for breaking a rule. Even if they did read the rules how much of that information do you think they'd be able to keep based on memory? It's a lot of information and I highly doubt that even if they read the rules they would have flawless game play.

The internet has no rules therefore a website on the internet has no rules therefore Sammy should stop posting.

I think petri needs to remember what its like to be banned again


why do you come in to threads i'm in just to harass me? saying this adds nothing to the topic of discussion so why even say it?

lucid, please. i'm not allowed to discuss this? really?

i'm just giving my opinion. why do i deserve to be banned for that?


long quote


Oh, that's right. So how did you learn then? What's that? From EXPERIENCE? WOW! Looks like you learned the same way that all the new players learn now anyways.


did you not read what i said? i had a negative experience at first but stuck through it and learned.

but if there had been a clear rules apge, that i had been forced to read, then i woudlve known what is and isnt OK to do before having to learn it over the course of 50 or so games, and i wouldve had a much smoother experience..

so why exactly is encouraging people to read the RULES OF TE WEBSITE a bad idea?

ISP is probably the one violation you don't need to intentionally break, which is why you need 5 of them to be lobby banned.

Do you know those ToS' that come with every .exe file that has like all of those words that nobody ever wants to read and click 'I ACCEPT'? That is basically how the rules page is treated right now, and will continue to be treated.

This is the topic that has the most lucid posts in epicmafia 6.0. That's a problem.

and you know what? if i had been made to read the rules page i'd have had a much better time starting off.

just food for thought..

wouldnt you rather know beforehand that C/Ping is wrong?

or that ISPing is wrong and you cant do that in ranked?

or that cheating is wrong?

or game throwing?

or any other rule?

if youre gonna play a game, dont you usually read the rules? like a board game, wouldnt you read the how to play section, even briefly?


I actually agree with everything you posted here except for the last part - I am more of a shoot first ask questions last kinda guy

slow, honestly, if you havent bothered to peak at the rules page by the time you have enough points to join the competition, thats not my fault, is it?


I've literally only once looked at the rules pages in the entirety of my stay at epicmafia as a normal user, and that was to argue with one of the mods.

Ideally, forcing people to read the rules is an okay idea. In practicality, people are going to either get put off or assume epicmafia.com is a very serious site for very serious people, which is the wrong impression we should be giving. And leniency with new users encourages people to stay.

Without the rudeness, the point still stands that nobody should, and hopefully will, get a violation without intentionally trying to ruin the game for everyone else.


good, that's all i wanted to make sure of... thanks jupiter. g2g


No problem. As far as I know, every moderator tries their hardest to follow that, and bronto's made it pretty clear to go very easy on new players.

Sammie you are an insensitive lunatic that can't put yourself in another person's shoes. When you joined EpicMafia, did you bother to go to the rules page and memorize every single scenario for every single violation? Don't tell me yes because I know you'd be lying. You've been playing on this site for a while now and to be quite honest you're not that much better than any new person who joins. I'm not saying this just to harass you, you need to realize how moronic you sound right now. You're arguing with the administrator of the website in a petty argument that you obviously will not win. Stop trying.


i didnt read the rules page because there wasnt one when i joined

if a game is given a note it cant be refunded.

so someone can pretend to be new, gamethrow, and not get anything, and then the game cant be refunded.

that's really dumb in a competitive (gold heart) game.

What if the yak killed and revived the person they're yakking? I know it sounds weird but it's plausible and codeable alternative.
