First, the announcements: I've been updating a few of the documents at the top of the forum, so if you wanted to check them out, feel free. Mostly, I updated the Mafia Roles tab because the old one was waaaaaaay out of date, so now every single role that's ever been included in a normal game of Mafia is up there. Hopefully that'll make it easier for Hosts to set up games in the future. I also updated the Game Archive tab, and now at the bottom of each thread should be a link to the next thread in the game. That will hopefully make it easy for anyone who wants to to find posts from specific games or even just to relive previous games. I added a couple of rules to the Mafia Rules tab as well--just the ones we talked about over the past few games.
So. In honor of our upcoming Game 20, I'd like to present a small survey for anyone who has ever played Mafia here before! This one is a bit more practical (I have another one that I've been thinking of doing that's more fun, modeled after the 'Most Likely To...' format in school yearbooks, but I'd need more suggestions for categories for that one...), but hopefully it's a bit of fun and a good chance for everyone to be heard on their Mafia preferences.
The GTX0 Mafia Survey!
1. Favorite Game?
1a. Favorite Special Game?
Which game that we've had here was your personal favorite to play in/watch? Why?
2. Least favorite game?
2a. Least favorite Special Game?
Opposite of the above. Please be courteous and respectful of people who may have played in/hosted these games.
3. What role do you think is overrated or needs a rest?
Note: this isn't necessarily your least favorite role, just something that you feel has been done too often. Here's a list of the roles that have been played with 4 or more times in GTX0:
4. What role do you think needs more love or deserves another chance?
Select any role on the role list (besides the ones above) that hasn't received as much playing time as you'd like!
5. What's your favorite:
5a. Town-sided role?
5b. Mafia-sided role?
5c. 3rd-party role?
THIS category is your favorite role overall, not just an underrated role or something.
What's your least favorite:
5a. Town-sided role?
5b. Mafia-sided role?
5c. 3rd-party role?
Feel free to rip into these roles--whether you hated the Survivor, or the Cult, or the Voodoo Lady, or whatever, any role is fair game!
6. What is your personal favorite style of Mafia game?
Do you like Mafia games that have a lot of unique and interesting roles? Do you like games that play with the format a bit (having an extra party, for instance)? Do you like down to the basics Mafia game with more normal roles like the Cop/Doctor, etc.? Something else entirely? Explain how you like your Mafia here!
7. What is your most desired change to the Mafia forum?
If there's something that's really been itching at you, please post it here. No guarantees that it'll be changed (since people may have different opinions), but of course I'll take it into consideration. ^_^
8. Any suggestions for Game #20?
I'll be honest here: I would love it if Game #20 were something special. I feel like it's a milestone for this forum and I'm glad to be a part of it...but I'm not precisely sure what to do for it. I'm going to ask Yeano if he would like to host, but he might be too busy. I'll also be putting out this survey, maybe another one, and a list of Mafia/player statistics that some people may find interesting, but if anyone has any other ideas, please let me know!
Also, do we want to jump right into Game #20? The timing seems kinda...bad, what with some of y'all starting school very soon. I was thinking of maybe letting Feral host his Smash Bros themed game first (if he's up to it), and gearing up for #20 from there. Let me know what you think!
