How much have things shifted?

[kuribo]

The only thing worse than current site meta is the old site meta

I always find it funny when people have a nostalgic view of the old times

your avatars are too similar can you fix this plz

Re: lynching asshats -

What you do is you work with them, secure the victory then yell at them post game and blacklist them

Soon you'll have everyone except the good players blacklisted and you can rely on some other sucker to do the dredge work of losing games to teach a lesson

[zakk]

^ the bigger your blacklist, the harder it is to play games

[Vi]

^ the bigger your blacklist, the harder it is to play games

...to the point that you're too disgusted with any player list ever.
Which, I mean, if that stops you from playing Mafia, etc. #alwaysonmessage

("you" not specifically referring to Accountant here)

[Accountant]

I mean if you only blacklist assholes and that prevents you from playing games... well, something is really really wrong

[kuribo]

If you meet an asshole in the morning, you've met an asshole

If you meet assholes all day, you're the asshole

[Accountant]

If you meet an asshole in the morning, you've met an asshole

If you meet assholes all day, you're the asshole

Precisely

What if its the asshole singularly and all parties are assholes collapsing into a void from which not even light can escape

[kuribo]

What if its the asshole singularly and all parties are assholes collapsing into a void from which not even light can escape

then they register a forums account

Why would they collapse into a void?

[SpyreX]

Its like a black hole, but made from assholes. An assholehole if you week

[Accountant]

If an assholehole is a week, then do 52 weeks comprise a hole year?

[Zorblag]

The week thing almost certainly be a typo. It could mean almost anything to some.

Or, as a teacher who sees what people be like at a certain age, it clearly be a Thursday.

See, them no show up on Fridays. Because them be assholes who like Troll to repeat things on Mondays. And this be a week end to a string of puns?

But, seriously. People be assholes. Troll might be one as well, but that no stops the rest from having this status.

Mmmm, Mafia Theory.

An insightful comment, Zorblag. What do you think we should do about it?

[SpyreX]

My phone is an amazing helper.

I don't know what the answer is. All i know for sure is i get so tired of lurkers it makes me sad and i bet that never changes

[Accountant]

I hate lurkers, but I hate losing more.

[SpyreX]

Lurker games, like asshole ones, always make me feel like I've lost

[Accountant]

Indeed. There is no glory in a victory and no shame in a defeat.

[Ranmaru]

i think overconfidence in reads is more toxic than seeing most of the game as null

If I had everyone as null I'd feel sad and cry on my pillow everyday until I had the emotional energy to scream at someone with all my hatred because they are scum.

Now I just realized that I think Hoopla's way might be better after re-reading Genesis Mafia. Or at least, having a balance. I think I'll strive to have a balance instead. No more emotional investment.

Let's all join a game guys

Down for BaM
Down for invitational
Down for Blink Mafia

Wow, Genesis Mafia looks like it was a real hoot.

[Not sure if sarcastic...]

[Ranmaru]

To clarify I was talking about my own play in that game, I was too confident in my reads and I feel like a fool reading myself there.
