The only experience I have with RTS so far is Halo wars 1 and 2 (both which I love, and halo wars 1 is arguably one of my favorite games). I am now downloading Ancestors Legacy which looks pretty fun as well. Never played star craft, but I am thinking of giving it a shot as well.

Any good RTS recommends?

Twas the night before christmas on DART,
The forums were quiet, the users were smart.
They spent time with their families, the day was perfect
We were all living lives, except PressF4respect.

Not a mod was in site, discipline was supbar.
Decorating a tree, was our humble mod Ragnar.
Wylted was out partying in some awesome clubs,
And noobs in overwatch were getting dropped by Supadudz.

Oromagi rested peacefully on top of DART's Ranking's,
Old posts took a day off from being bumped by Dr. Franklin.
SirAnonymous was out caroling to his next door Neighbor,
And Airmax got his ass kicked by Lunatic at Beat Saber.

Most Dart members were happy, even RM could not fret,
Except for the sadness felt from poor thett,
For Zmikecuber's absence left him feeling empty,
And the mafia forums dearly missed Frenzy.

Mike made some features, that were put to good use,
And Bsh1 and blamonkey's debate was still at a truce.
Greyparrot played mafia, and went out with a bang!
As did banned members, such as Ethang.

Virtuoso wrapped presents, his wallet was empty.
Airmax was a jew though, so his still had plenty.
Raisor ran for president on DDO, despite all of it's spam,
While mafia thrived because of advertising by drafterman.

A-R-O-S-E got a new I-pad to shove in everyone's face,
We were all pretty jealous, especially Speedrace.
Trump got impeached, we got rid of his stench.
The democrats cheered, none more-so than imabench.

Irontoaster drank cocoa, being cozy was his goal.
Scrolling through grindr, was Dart's very own Coal.
This poem is quite boring, you all get the gist,
I'm couldn't find something clever for TheRealNihilist.

There's many more members I prob'ly won't get to
I am lazy as f***, unlike Ramshutu.
Twas the night before Christmas, and I bid you goodbye,
Stuff your face's with yum yums, like ILikePie5.

Since it's Christmas Eve, let's all get along and not fight.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

First off I gotta say this is an amazing game. Its basically dodgeball in VR and one of the closest things I've seen to being able to play sports with someone living in a completely different state. It is not only a good workout, it is an absolute blast. There is strategy to timing your throws (when you have the ball you get a one time use shield) so you have to carefully plan your attacks.
Also usually max destroys me in this game, but I had some good luck yesterday and won a best of five. I did not include his audio in the recording for his privacy.

I am really loving VR and am excited to see what the future holds for VR. I will be playing half life alyx, lone echo 2, and some other VR titles this year and me and airmax will be on the lookout for more coop VR games to play.

Title says it all. I'm not complaining about the moderators btw. I know they are just doing their jobs. Just curious as to who decided punishment lengths and maybe trying to understand the logic behind them a bit more?

For example supadudz being gone 7 days for a violation of a restraining order seems a bit long, especially when the harm in context of the violation seemed minimal. He's also one of the more active mafia players so the community will miss out on a much needed player slot for the next week.

Also I don't know TheRealNihilist well but i know i've seen him post a bit and know his absence effects the activity around the forums a bit. Max commonly temp banned people but I don't often recall that lengthy of bans unless it was a very serious offense or if it was a repeat offence.

Dont y'all think 1 or 2 days is good?
Again I don't know the context so forgive me if I am mistaken about these just went through the mod log and saw all these lengthy bans and was curious how that rule about long ban times was implemented

I am interested in the mafia communities opinion on this matter, because my opinion has sort of changed on the subject. I used to prefer better balance but lately I think I like the idea of role crazy a little bit. I mean I think every mod should strive to balance the game as much as possible, and at least try not to leave one side a glaring strength or weakness. But it's rare that it won't be argued in an endgame that a game isn't balanced anyway.
Would you rather have an all vanilla/goon game (which I guess is as close as you can get to perfect balance) or a game where most or all players actually have a night action?

Still no current mafia games going on, so I wanted to see who was up for another one after drafters game? 


Game will start in NP0 just as his game, but I will have normal mafia rules outside of that as far as lynch mechanics go.

Also that game was active, I think we can get a seventh. There will be 5 town, 2 mafia. If I can't get a seventh we will do 4 town, 1 third party, 1 mafia. Roles will not be randomized. I liked the will mechanic, we can keep that. You can leave a will that will be posted in the day phase upon death.

Mafia Win!
 

Night Actions:
 
Thank you to everyone who played in this game! My main reason for choosing this theme was to advertise this new show on Netflix! It was fantastically made, and I hope some of you had a chance to learn more about this cool universe while researching roles etc. If you did share your thoughts on the dark crystal with me!
 
As far as the game goes it was absolutely crazy!

Day phase 1 Drafterman got really unlucky. Funnily enough, Drafterman had a solid claim. The podlings as a group of characters was actually a role that would have been included in the game, but was removed because of downsizing from 13 to 10. Then AROSE fake CC’ed him him as Hup (not sure that neccarily counts as a CC, but it would have hurt him). Not sure what AROSE was thinking there. If drafter was town he would have really screwed over his team there, he basically lied about his claim and CC’ed drafter over a strong gut feeling drafter was guilty. Well it would have turned out horribly for him if Drafter didn’t claim JOAT right after. That sealed drafters fate. Obviously drafter wouldn’t have had a way of knowing that there was a town role connected to his that was also JOAT so it wasn’t necessarily a bad play, just really unlucky on his part. I am really surprised that this worked in towns favor, and I seriously am not trying to be a dick, but I think AROSE plan (while successful) was a bad town play. It worked for him out of extreme luck. Draftermans luck worsened that night phase when he killed Warren. Warren’s role was designed to be a bit swingy, the original game just had 3 mafia and no 3rd party. I changed it when I was only able to get 10 and warrens role was made. I figured the best way to balance 3 mafia would be to do it the way I did, and have them not be able to communicate with warren or know who the ascendency was if he chose to join them. Warren did try dropping hints to mafia in Day Phase one when he first mention affiliation changing roles, but I guess that would be kind of a stretch for mafia to pick up on. Their night kill choice wasn’t a bad one, just unlucky again.
 
Day Phase 3 is where towns luck started turning around IMO. I don’t know why this Speed VS supa thing meant one or the other was town. Greyparrot did awesome staying undercover.

I had a feeling all that time spent deliberating a decision was gonna be ultimately pointless. At the ens of the day he still only had a 50/50 shot of hammering correctly and didnt even make a detailed analysis for his decision so overthinking might have hindered instead of helped. But supa had some bad play so I kind of figured he would have been lynched.

A-R-O-S-E :You are the UrRu, otherwise known as “the Mystics”. After the Great Division, the UrSkeks split into two beings, good and evil. Thus Every UrRu has an evil Skeksis counterpart. If your SkekSis counterpart dies, you become a vanilla townie. You are the JOAT. You have 4 abilities that can be activated. You can choose a target each night, though you will be unable to choose which ability is used each night. The ability used will be decided by which UrRu’s Skeksis counterpart is active that night. You will be told which of your abilities are used. You cannot forfeit an action, you MUST choose a target each night. Your abilities are as follows:

Ability 1- UrSol “The Chanter’s” Tracker: You will see who the person you selected visited during the night. 
Ability 2- UrVa “The Archer’s” Watcher: You will see who the person you selected was visited by during the night.
Ability 3- UrTih “The Alchemist’s” Doctor: The person you select will be protected from a night kill.
Ability 4- UrSu “The Master’s” Vote steal: The person targeted will lose their voting privileges during the following day phase. Instead, you will have two votes. 

You win with the town.

Warren42- You are the Arathim, also known as the Ascendency. After being banished from your home, the caves of Grot, you are the enemy of the Gelfling and Skeksis. You start the game as a vanilla third party. Anytime before night phase 2, you can choose one time whether to join the town, the Mafia, or remain 3rd party. If you choose mafia, your number will count towards the mafia. The mafia will be told the ascendency has joined them, but will not be told who you are and you will not be able to join in mafia communications. You will become a mafia goon with no extra abilties. If you choose town, you will count as a town number, however the town will not be told of your existence. You will investigate innocent, and will gain a role. If you do not choose a side, or choose 3rd party you will become a bulletproof third party survivor and will win above both sides if you survive to the endgame without being lynched. You can only choose once (no take backsies).  If you are investigated before you choose, you will investigate guilty. Your choice will be publicly revealed upon your death.

Welcome to the Dark Crystal Mafia! The Dark crystal is an amazing world created by Jim Henson, and was masterfully created into a film using puppetry in the 80's. After reading the books, and watching the new show on Netflix, I wanted to make this game. The game may  include characters from all sources, books, films, show, and comics. I hope you enjoy this game, and hope it encourages you to at least watch the film at some point. Please do not edit posts, or copy and paste role PM's. Standard mafia rules apply, if you have a question about what those rules are, please message me privately.

Bsh1 is just a very bad guy. How do we keep letting him get away with all the horrific things he does?! He thinks he can just be a moderator of some debate site and that clears him of being a skeksis responsible for the gelfling genocide? 

Tsk tsk. I'm ashamed of this man.

<insert more libel and slander here>
<insert more whining of debate site injustices being done by the corrupt Nazi leader bsh1 here>

We aint gonna take it!

Hey guys, with the new release of the Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance coming out on Netflix, i've gotten pretty into this universe and would like to host a mafia game with this theme since ive probably been on the hold list for a year lol.

I realize warrens game is going on atm so I can wait until thats finished before starting. I dont know how active mafia generally is right now so I'll start sign ups with 13 and see how it goes from there and adjust as needed.

Earth- You are Belle Rayburn, wife to Kevin Rayburn. Your priorities are your new child, and the well being of your husband who may have bit off more than he can chew. You are vanilla townie, and can contribute with your voice and your vote. You win with the town. (Killed NP1)

Drafterman- You are Roy Gilbert, a successful business man who tarries in the illegal. After funding John’s campaign for Sheriff, you became close with Kevin Rayburn, as he is easily manipulated and in a lot of trouble. With money comes resources, and you are able to assist Kevin with removing and hiding the body of Marco Diaz. You are thus the Janitor. You can hide the body of your night kill choice at any time. However only one body can be janitored at a given time. If you choose to janitor another individual, your previous body will become uncovered for the town to see. You win with the mafia. (Lynched DP2)

Vaarka- You are Meg Rayburn, one of the few Rayburn children who hasn’t actually murdered anyone. While you are definitely not what most would call a good person, you aren’t the worst of the crop either. Unless of course you count concealing the murders of a brother and ex-boyfriend for the sake of your brothers, you really are an angel. However, when you move away to start a new life right at the beginning of the Eric O’bannon trial, some do find it pretty suspicious. You are the miller, and will appear guilty upon cop investigations. You win with the town. (Killed NP2)

We will do standard 3 day Day Phases for now. Given the game took a while to start and not all players have re-confirmed, their may be some inactivity which may call for an extension later on, but we will review player activity at that point and evaluate. Standard mafia rules apply, most people in this game I believe should be familiar with them. There are no flavors or third party roles in this game, your role works exactly how it says it does.

Good luck everyone, and have fun!
