Rule Discussion Topic! (A place to help make a change!)
Since there have been many flaws with the game, and/or it's rules, there have been many suggestions. Sadly, I've forgotten all of them.
Although, this is a place to openly discuss rule changes, amendments, and the like. And don't be afraid to come up, because fixing a problem now can make future games run smoother.
Rules of the thread:
1.) No Flaming. Keep your criticism constructive, and don't insult the rules/other people. If you have a problem, be polite and civil about it.
2.) If you have a legitimate complaint, be ready to back it up, or defend it. This is a place where not everyone will agree all the time. However, if you truly believe in a cause, it will help your case.

Re: Rule Discussion Topic! (A place to help make a change!)
I don't remember my old suggestions...
I just remember one:
Make a secondary rule topic that outlines the rules only, instead of explaining the game. A lot of people don't bother to read the rules, since it's extremely long and most of it consists of Mafia vocabulary.

Re: Rule Discussion Topic! (A place to help make a change!)
I've got one for MAMA in relation to the video thing (sorry to bring this up again, but...). Your actions are certainly covered by the line that says "not limited to", however, you should specify that Screenshots of any kind are prohibited, no matter what they're of so that mistake never happens again.

Re: Rule Discussion Topic! (A place to help make a change!)
Yeah, what Karfka said. MAMA specifically mentions screenshots of PMs, but makes to reference to other screenshots. This clearly implies that they are alright. Please change it to make it less confusing.

One step ahead of you all. I'm currently talking to Bee. Any more MAMA-related issues should be specified now.

Re: Rule Discussion Topic! (A place to help make a change!)
Perhaps a clause should be added about commitment. If you do not feel you will be able to make a contribution to the game, or you will likely be inactive for a majority of the time, you should not play without good reason.genodragon1 wrote:One step ahead of you all.

Re: Rule Discussion Topic! (A place to help make a change!)
Alright, I have:
- Commitment clause.
- Specify what screenshots are and aren't allowed.
Insho and I are also thinking of asking Bee and Velo to help us draft a separate doctrine emphasizing activity, commitment, and sportsmanship-like conduct.

Say something like, "And most importantly of all, have fun. Yes, yes, it sounds cliched, but seriously. There's no point in playing if you aren't going to enjoy yourself."

MAMA was drafted by Bee. Therefore, if we to edit it, we must get his permission. And plus, there's no denying experience, and the wisdom from that.EmaTheScienceSkye wrote:I'm not so sure aboot our rules being so influenced by people who aren't on this site, eh?

Re: Rule Discussion Topic! (A place to help make a change!)
I agree completely. I was just implying that we should just incorporate our own version of it into the rules.

But then I'd feel like I was stealing. And plus, the free exchange of ideas will only making things stronger for everyone.EmaTheScienceSkye wrote:I agree completely. I was just implying that we should just incorporate our own version of it into the rules.

Re: Rule Discussion Topic! (A place to help make a change!)
It's not stealing. As good as Bee is (I have no idea.), I'm sure that MAMA was not drafted without external influence.
