Get rid of ranked games altogether, that'll stop the built in need for 1000 daily game violation reports.

you heard it guys verumback is the last new em user ever. no point in trying to grow the site.


yeah see thats what i dont want
this game is really cool with a lot of roles and a lot of potential!! ive recommended it to lots of people before saying "the game is fun but the people are horrible" and i wish i didnt have to say that second part but Its True
i wanna help i just. i dont know if i want to get too involved with these people bc ive Heard Things and seen things to back those things up and it doesnt seem safe for me, a kid with very little cybersecurity

so you're telling me its better to have noobs and tryhards in the same lobby instead of different


I'm saying the tryhards had already moved to training lobby because they couldn't fill games in comp.

like honestly if you wanna be edgy theres multiple websites full of people who love that where people who are made intensely uncomfortable by it either dont go or know how to avoid it
if edgelords like that are gonna stay and stay backed by those in power nobody else is going to stay. itll just attract more of the same or nobody at all
from what i see of this site?? its all the same people, just a bunch of people who have all known each other for years and keep making new accounts to fill the void. everyone else leaves. like ive been here since november, meaning for about half a year, and still nobody after me has stayed. its kinda, sad tbh

definitely agree with the clamping down on hc thing, as a relatively new user (i think im still the newest not counting those who are only here for like a month) who would be a lot less inactive if they felt a little more welcomed by the community??
another thing is i feel like vocab needs to be expanded, like for roles and their nicknames, bc it took me like 2 months to realize what a "vent" did and another couple weeks to realize it was short for ventriloquist lmaoooo
i could help write short definitions for some commonly used terms that arent already covered so new people arent left in the dark

edit: i just Actually read douras post and theres nothing for me to agree with. yall are the reason i dont like this place

that was less of a merging and more of a removing a very dead lobby from the default tab iirc

merging comp and training was a mistake


to me, this is the biggest thing

Truthfully? I have so many excellent associates that could complete these tasks for us -- yet I would require my lobby returned to me.

This site requires someone as motivated as me to create a fun atmosphere in one of the biggest lobbies on the website -- we could be the most popular lobby under my ownership.

fix the game first, it keeps breaking, don't advertise a broken game

fixing the suicide bug should be #1 priority


i can do that


I bet you could too.

It's gone on long enough. I can't believe we've come to accept broken games as part of our daily life like terrorism in Europe.

Is jimbei still touting trolling as the tantamount reason for low population? You'd have a compelling case if you actually left the site, but seeing as how you're here every day, you must love the attention trolls give you.

When someone says a role, it should have the _ _ _ _ like blue or bw have, and on that textbox, there could be the same description you see when you go to the Learn page.
almost 8 years
yeah, have an explanation on the role you got at n1.
also, you see that icon at the right of the action meeting on some roles, it gives a not so useful explanation on what it does, and sometimes it doesn't appear at all. make that better and you got it

maybe like a sentence at the begininng of d1/n1 that says "you are the x!" and has the explanations of what ur role does
