There have been complains and what not. So I'd like to conduct a poll on the em public of whether most people generally support, or do not support the merge of training and competition lobbies?
literally don't have to be a selfish about everything. that got censored i think ol

no. We are in main lobby. You still have comp games.
If your games are full of "noobs," than that just shows the comp lobby was growing stagnant.

@Caroline,
part of playing again is helping new players adjust to it and learn it. I highly doubt 100% of your games are filled with people who all don't know how to play/a majority don't know how to play.
There never will be a perfect mafia site, and you know what, every single person here on this site is still learning and adapting, not just the new ones. Let them learn while you play. Basically what caro just said is that she wants to play with only people that know what there doing, thats like saying (real life comparison incoming) "This new guy they just hired here at my work, yeah he doesn't know anything lets just not bother with him instead of just letting him in and showing him some stuff to be nice about it."
My initial support of the merge sprung from a debate that occured earlier this year, where because comp lobby was stagnant, comp players were suggesting that training lobby be adjusted to create a tier system that would encourage training players to join and try out comp lobby. Most training players were against it, myself included, because we liked training the way it was, and didn't want to change it to save a lobby full of, people we believed, were stuck up.
I support it now because unmerging the lobbies won't solve the issues comp lobby was facing before. If you raise the point entrance level, the lobby will become stagnant again, and if you don't, noobs can still join it.

Is your idea of a perfect mafia site one where people go to learn to play mafia but once they've learned to play the only thing that they can do with that knowledge is to teach more new players?

I still think that this thread is being used as a tool to get attention, I'm going to think that until you either change the argument you put forward or clarify it because right now it seems like you just put forward an invalid opinion to justify your stance
So then be the better person and help them out during the game, thats just part of the process. Explain to them the situation instead of just tabbing out or something along those lines and thinking "This game is screwed" (had to avoid censor stuff)

Caroline, the point of this site is to have fun. Why are we then making people essential go to school to learn to play a game that should be open and accessible to everyone? Here's an idea, have the comp players IN THE GAMES teach the new players! And maybe, if they're nice, the noobs will listen lol.
the debate started because one comp player wanted to separate himself from noob players. shivv isn't the representation of all former comp players, and the mindset that all comp players are rude jerks is just some bogus residue from when the lobbies weren't merged. if you weren't clearly biased against anyone that came from comp lobby your argument would hold up a lot better.
meanwhile, most comp players have acclimated to the lobby merge fine, and this is one of the first complaints since the merge happened.
@caro and you're saying that the mentorship program actually works lol :3
deleteddeletedalmost 12 years ago
well they should sign up for the mentoring program and not join comp games until they are 100% confident enough to actually try instead of asking questions and dumbtelling the whole time. if they don't put in any effort to try and understand setups, why should we help them

I doubt that makes you mad

@sims this debate started because some comp players want to separate themselves from noob players and make it more difficult for them to ruin the "precious" gold heart games.
A lot of them do, but not all of them yeah, some of them have integrated themselves into the new community perfectly and they're good examples of what the others should follow. Not just "THEY SUCK LETS BRING BACK COMP LOBBY!!!!JERKJERKJERK" lol
