Lucid, leave it to me. I can make a great tutorial.

Crooks says

I've suggested plenty of times for lucid or somebody to code a tutorial game with bot players doing things that happens almost everytime in regular mafia games, with the new player doingnothing but watching. A bot would make a play, the game would freeze, and a popup would come up telling them what happened. Arrows would also be involved like the thing flea stated. This should've been done a long time ago as well as a lot of other things to make the site thrive, but unfortunately you snooze you lose, too late for that now.

ive never been a fan of watching things I've always preferred to glance through instructions real quick. I think it'd be easier if it was just a saved game that's edited to explain directions. I'd assume that'd be a lot less time consuming to make too.

Lucid wanted to do that a long time ago, but he's very busy and has to prioritize. I think we should hook up the idea people (Crooks, flea) with the coders to make it happen.

Imo we should stop relying on lucid for everything and go to him with a finished product for testing

Having something like this but have it for maybe like three days to click through explaining it would be the best imo.

I love this idea

I think an example game for them to click through explaining basic mechanics would be a good addition too.

We plan to make a way to automatically send new players a welcome PM describing the game and outlining the the ins and outs of the site (should be out by the end of this week).

As for an in-game tutorial, it's out of our control but we will make sure the idea is added to the list of future updates.

This might get delayed. Our coding team is reporting technical difficulties, sorry!

"You see this? This line right here, 'PlayerBot1 | [message]'

this line makes it seem like PlayerBot1 is a complete idiot. In times like this, we make sure to flame PlayerBot1 in the postgame, despite if we were right or wrong."
