I was mocked for suggesting that a donations bar be moved to the top of the forum for everyone to see.

Players already feel cheated if they lost because they believe other team is too strong, it will be worse if losing becomes a mark on their permanent record.

I would also anticipate far more strategic replacing out, and replacing out is already something that happens too often.

Normal games could become ranked games.

Unless you can point out to me some incredibly and angrily unbalanced normals.

Actually this is a really good idea. Having a points system that could lead to an annual invitational tournament of some sort would be cool.

Actually, I think a survey for newbie players after they complete a game would be good...

1) What attracted you to mafiascum?

2) Why do you like here?

3) What would you like to see changed?

These questions are just off the top of my head but you get the idea. Obviously if someone site-flakes midgame they won't answer but I have seen people complete one or two games and it looks like they never come back.

Prof Fridays recently ran a mini-normal with a 10 day deadline, and many Micros have deadlines of 7 days.

Fakegod sets his Large Themes at 8 days I believe...

I just typed up "online mafia".

Epic mafia was the first result (ewwww) and mafiascum was the fourth.

Typing "mafia online" and we were fifth after the wiki article on mafia.

edit: trying the same thing with "werewolf" was a disaster. Even if people know it as werewolf, they'll get better results with "mafia".

I've noticed a recent batch of micro-games not filling. Is this indicative of mafiascum's overall health?

Edit: Upon reading this post I think it might sound sarcastic. I'm not being sarcastic, I think it's weird the number of micro's not filling.
