discord is much much better tbh

has a search function
has desktop and phone notifications
can add and organize channels to include actions, results, roles, list of claims/hints, fake claims, etc.. in separate channels as needed
can do voice chat to discuss the game/actions if needed (we have had a 3-5 hr voice chat b4 multiple nights discussing actions in favorites lol. was a 70 player game so lots of discussion needed)

Discord is killing forums and I’d personally rather not integrate it into how we play mafia and give it even more power to do damage. Discord also has no oversight. I don’t know if can trust that people won’t try to steal our members through discord for other places to play mafia including these other discords.

WC was even just turned into a discord. Which is real shame even though we benefited from it in a lot way. I just don’t personally see the appeal of it.

This would also require everyone that plays mafia here signup for discord. That’s also not something I think we should be asking people to do, personally.

Like I said we should just offer it to the scum teams and let them decide

I genuinely HATE using conversations lol. Constantly having to scroll back and find night actions was the biggest pain in the ass

Agree with Smarks points re: discord for the most part but I do think we need a better solution than the chats as they aren't really searchable or easily shared in post game + it's easier to accidentally post in the game thread

Can confirm...

if ur gonna have it so i have to kill ppl, that be good. or at least make it so the check kills them only if its that player? could have been a good alternative

I haven’t seen your role, but the lyncher does exist. The idea is you have to get them lynched. You had a rolecop, though, right? If not, then I agree you had no chance.

I almost did that once too. Would've had to just Irish goodbye into the sunset given my reputation tbh

I personally hated using conversations in this game for scum chat. It's also come to my attention that moderators can see online activity even when invisible which is a major issue given the "Engaged in Conversation" status

We should invent the NEW QUICKTOPIC

 

[Ricky Smarks]

How would a scum QT section fare? It would be like QT.

A new section in the mafia forum that only scum players will be able to see?

Ninja,, but I can theoretically make one here.

I don't think this would be useful as it doesn't solve the main issues.

You'd be just as susceptible to posting in the wrong thread and the activity issue would still exist.

Personally I just think people need to get better at making sure they know where they’re posting because I would personally rather just keep it all on on the same place.

People also said they wanted searching as their primary reason. They’d have that here.

Can we make it visually distinct enough so that we don't accidentally post here? IE change the skin or something in that section

I could, actually. That’s a XenForo option. Forced skins for forums.
