Closed roles in Main Lobby

over 8 years

This will probably get a bunch of people trolling me and tons of downvotes, but eh, might as well give it a try.

Inspired by this thread and dooze's comment on it https://epicmafia.com/topic/78196

I suggest that we add closed roles in main. Why, you may ask, as it's the thing that Sandbox is known for.

It is. However, Sandbox is also known for being a lobby in which very few people actually cares about what happens and thus the games get full of trolls, and people that just dont play the game properly.

And there are quite a few people that would enjoy playing closed roles setups with a bit more of seriousness. people that don't think there is a strategy for closed roles setups cleary havent played them enough, as in the ocassional serious sandbox games that happen now and then, there is a lot of tactics, role knowing, and speculation people can do, and it actually can be quite interesting.

Closed roles can't be used in ranked games, so it wouldn't ruin the competition in any way.

Yes, I know not everyone takes games seriously in Main either if they are unranked, but in overall, the userbase here is more game-oriented than in sandbox.

People in main that just don't like closed roles games can just... not play closed roles games, so that wouldn't really be an issue either.

idk, i think its worth arguing about it, unless there is a specific reason why they are not a thing here that im missing, which could be.

peace

i think games set in fictional environments exist because we aren't satisfied with the real world

It's hard to feel satisfied in a world which is systematically paved prior to your arrival into it.

im not really sure who she's catering to - perhaps GILF stuff, but even then, her voice is far too unflattering for her excitement noises to really get anyone going

i also think competitive games should be forced anonymous but people are too enamored with their circlejerking and grudgekilling

nah. reputation is a force that exists everywhere in the real world, why not here?

i also like multiaccounting, it adds another layer with more probabilities, risk, and reward

meta isn't a bad thing. it's another layer with more probabilities to read into and it's a driver for people to evolve their game

evolve your game:
step 1. learn everything about every user on epicmafia.com
step 2. use peepl and spokeo just to make sure you dont miss any details
step 3. win with your superior game

everyone plays the same. there's no real meta besides that pranay's going to act the dumbass and think it's badass

Meta is awesome in my eyes, just not the type of meta where people are self clearing to the point it's transparent. It used to be funny being on a stacked table, and you'd kill one of your friends as Mafia but not say anything. Everyone would fos the randomer for 'reasons' without trying to make it look like meta. Other times, the randomer is maf and gets cleared because they think people are wifoming.

anonymous exists so you play actual mafia and not pick out your friends

i mean maybe people on this site are too bad to play it that way but thats what its for

Anonymous play in ranked is cancerous. Grudge killing isn't a huge thing really, except once in a while. Playing anonymously means you spend a lot of time figuring out who people are, rather than what they are.

My favourite games of Mafia were mostly being a mod and extracting information from banned users.

Mafia is actually a great game. It's just impossible to take it seriously anymore. Too many ihaveashitname663 people taking the majority spot in games.

in the end it all comes back to mafiascum

I mean, I'm all for anything that means the site has some revitalisation Foxie. The specifics aren't important to me. I don't care enough about it anymore to have s huge opinion on it though.
