We could maybe use more tooltips for common abbreviations like lk (lightkeeper), bg (bodyguard) to trim down on confusion for new players. That would make the whole 167 roles things a little easier.

I think advertising might be a good idea. The thing is...does EM even advertise? I found this site by googling "play mafia online" and otherwise never heard of or seen EM. So did many other users. If we do advertise where/how because I think it's ineffective af lol
also STOP NOAVI MISTREATMENT >.< thats basically stopping new players into the community
and also some people are abusive and need to be banned
I got banned before because I "talked back" to a mod who called me a for trying to play the game by discussing foses and I wish i could remember that bitche's name. she just wanted to random lynch and got mad at me for actually trying to play the game logically and kept telling me to shut up

so are you saying that you do not have any issues with the current site moderation?
deletedabout 8 years
Also I know it's common for you to post flood a thread so you can either discuss this with me elsewhere and have to read *gulp* full paragraphs or give suggestions on how to stimulate the community into activity
deletedabout 8 years
why are you so piqued

read all the suggestions that people posted, all ever people do is complain that EM is dying so I'm trying to get people to put ideas on the table

Good luck getting newbies to stick around once the comp babbys hit them with 5 reports for being noobs.


ya i think this is one of the biggest turn offs from ranked play (at least in my opinion)

i posted this img earlier as a joke lol

what metric are u using to decide that the site is dying too btw?

just for the sake of playing devils advocate i clicked a random round thread to look at the # of participants in main

https://epicmafia.com/round/519

930 in last round

https://epicmafia.com/round/240

928 in a round about 3 years ago

this isnt defintive, but what other metrics are you using to decide its objectively dying?

n also the new players always get n1d and treated badly n get told to get avis with no other info

i think everyone suggesting that we need new players is skipping a huge step, which is easing the barrier to entry. veterans of the site might overlook this, but hopping into a game and being expected to know 167 roles is daunting.
