Getting back into playing Mafia

[BlackStar]

Hi. I doubt that anyone would remember me but I used to play here years ago. I think I stopped in 2018. Anyway, I haven't played Mafia at all since then but I'm interested in getting into it again. Is it a bad idea to jump straight into games again? Is there a collection of the best games I could look at to refresh my memory on how you should play? Sorry if these are dumb questions

Funny enough im considering getting back in mafia also.

What's a great game that concluded recentely that I could read through to get a feel for the current metagame?

I think your best bet would be to jump into either an open a micro or a mini normal.

Recently ended games worth reading might be the games from the recently concluded team mafia which can be found here

Though its not going to be perfect to the meta because people are tryharding quite a bit there.

And welcome back both of you.

Might also be worthwhile to check out the mafia rules since some stuff might be slightly different from how you remember.

Two things to call out are
1) We no longer allow the use of the word "lynch" to describe eliminations. The use of the term eliminate or lim is preferred.
2) We're a bit stricter about out of game influence than we used to be. Things like publicly threatening to replace out or telling someone to replace are no longer allowed.

But mostly things are probably pretty similar to how you remember them.

Thanks!

Welcome back! It should be fine for you to jump back in and play.

Only five years? Lightweight. I didn't play for over sixteen.

You're far from the only person who's taken a break for years, just go sign up for a game. You can /in as new in the newbie queue if you want, while the newbie queue is still around.

I do not think the newbie queue will be firing any more games.

The queue switch over should be happening very soon

Where can I read about the new world order (queue changes)

Q: How to get back into mafia?
A: Just play.

It's not the easiest answer to accept but it can be applied to mostly any game as the best way to learn something is to throw yourself into it.
There isn't rly a good way to learn the game and I'm unsure of if I can genuinely recommend reading wiki articles to get better.

Each queues have their own metas depending on the players that play. The players that play in normals might not be the same that play in theme games. Normals in particular are known to house players that only play normals.
Players that might have been in TM games might not be in your playerlist.
So even if you did read a game it's probably not going to help you and you would most likely just be wasting your time.
