Yeah that's right, I said it. There's no search function, there's no quoting function, there's no text formatting. The pages take forever to load. There's no e-mail notification of new posts. There's no preview function. If someone's account is disabled from posting too much, all of their posts are deleted. YOU CAN'T EVEN GO TO A SPECIFIC PAGE OF THE THREAD IF IT'S NOT WITHIN 5 OF THE PAGE YOU'RE LOOKING AT!!! YOU HAVE TO KEEP CLICKING NEXT OR PREV UNTIL YOU GET THERE!!!! WHO'S BRIGHT IDEA WAS IT TO PLAY MAFIA ON THAT SHIT? And if you don't agree with me, then you sir are worse than Hitler. --FCOD p.s. This rant brought to you by having to read 22 pages of circular arguments first thing in the morning. p.p.s. This is not a jab at the moderators of the Star Wars game, who I think are doing a fine job

I think the worst part is not being able to find a specific player's posts. It's maddening.

This is not a jab at the moderators of the Star Wars game, who I think are doing a fine job Personally, I think it works fine if and only if you have a small game. Which is why the game I hosted was 17 players. Edited: But yeah, in a large game it's nearly impossible to step back and methodically look at things.

1. I agree with you, it's different and not in many good ways. But some of the people only learned on that site. Some only know that way of playing. It's like, you can't miss what you've never have, you know what I mean?
Some people learned how to play on there without the options of quoting or previewing or searching posts. I guess it just depends on what you're used to. Here (and on the SDMB) we're used to that stuff..so I think we sorta take them for granted. Not just that, they DO make it easier to use, no doubt. But it's like I said....some people who have NEVER experienced those things don't know about them and, thus, are fine with it.
2. Echoing what Pedescribe said, it's worse when you have a LOT of players. If you only have, like, 12 or 15 people per game, it gets better.
I may make a rule that games may only have 10 to 15 players anymore...that would: A. Allow two games to be played at any given time, hopefully and B. Make it easier for people to read through small topics/games.

Make it easier for people to read through small topics/games. Eh. Personally, I think a mini should run alongside a big game. That way, the people who don't want to play in a big game have the option of a smaller game. Limiting it to JUST small games is, in my opinion, a bad idea. Games like SSB that have a high body count would last a very short time with only 10-15 players. If the mod is only going to have 10-15 people, great, but if their setup doesn't call for that, they shouldn't be forced to rearrange their whole game...there should just be a mini running alongside their game.

I know we should not talk of a game running - but let me just say - some of these people have no idea what mafia is! They seem to play a game of "compatibility" - either we agree and we together or we don't and then I'll vote for you!

I agree to a point, but really, there's either going to be one big(ish) game..or two smaller games. One big and one small probably won't work because I'm pretty sure one of the games will always be strapped for players (or subs). That's usually how it goes. So I'm thinking for now, instead of doing it that way then, just leaving it how it is.....and having people start their (new) games right as the one before it is ending.

They seem to play a game of "compatibility" - either we agree and we together or we don't and then I'll vote for you! THIS I agree with majorly. Since a lot (read: Most EVERYONE) in the FB mafia group was new (to the game) when they first started playing, I really think that some of them sort of "learned" how to play wrong. Sometimes there doesn't seem to be a lot of logic to it..and then I find out the person is Town (if, indeed, they are) and I think "WTF were they thinking?" There seems to be a huge mob mentality there sometimes...like, EVERYONE votes for one person....just cause that's what everyone else is doing. But actual mafia games (that I've seen and played in, anyway) rarely has that. Votes are usually ALL OVER THE PLACE..not just heaped on one person right from the start.

That is one part of the problem on FB - the other is:
When you say anything that might require 5 brain-cells most of the players go: "Why did you say that" - and soon they will FOS or even vote you just for putting out an idea.
It's just not mafia - it more like a "lets lynch and get lucky game"

Hahahahahahaha.....well, when you're right you're right. Granted it's not EVERYONE...a lot of people are really good and learned well. But yeah, the style of play sometimes goes that way. Even with people who are good, because they sometimes get caught up in it too and soon it's like you're forced to go along with it.

I don't think I'm a good Mafia player by any stretch of the imagination, but seriously, at least I don't OMGUS. There's waaaay too much OMGUS on facebook. It's like "you don't believe me? You MUST be scum!" until a single person has accused at least seven people on a given day of being scum...and thinks they ALL are. I've noticed this in all three games I've played. It's sort of frustrating to vote someone for a good or even decent reason, only to have them give some half-assed reason to vote you back.

That wasn't pedescribe, I'm pretty sure it was blockey. --- I'm in agreeance, Mr. Cow about the formatting and everything. Man, I'm having a hard time reading everything, especially any post that tries to quote anything. I miss my bold and underline and text formatting. Oh, and TL: You had basically a similar role I did in the X-Men game, and that is a HARD-ASS role to work with. I think everybody who has to work with that role should get to join a special club.
