The Root of Toxicity in Mafia Games

[Krazy]

Realistically speaking a lot of these concerns are tied to setup philosophy. Ranked games need an agreed upon setup. It's also hard to do ranked in a forum because the pace is so slow and replacements so frequent. How would you calculate rank with a replaced player?

Toxicity is also separated by tilt, aggression, and the fundamentals of forum based communication. To say that mafia toxicity comes from the game requires showing that player toxicity in games is greater than the toxicity in forums generally, but I feel like people get banned from the normal talk forums frequently as well. In reality a lot of people are more toxic in a forum setting regardless of what they are doing there.

Probably too much to get everyone to vote on every player. But maybe people could do accolades to reward positive behavior.

I mean the thread is about toxicity and over-valuing "winrate" is a frequent characteristic of toxic players.

I think toxicity is also directly tied to saying literally anything other than "gg" when a game is over
