The Syndicate

Haha I hadn't listened to my own posts and I really do sound like I'm on stage, with that echo

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Thu Jan 11, 2018 2:02 am Hey gang, I'm going to assemble a highlights video for the game. It's pointless to save and compile every single recording, because nobody on this planet or any other will ever listen to that. If you could come up with 1-5 posts or so that you think are your best/most important/most interesting/most whatever, I will include them in the highlights. Also, if there is any particular posts from other(s) you absolutely want to see included, say so.

So the ones you should put in there that I think were important are:
My hello post http://www.mafiathesyndicate.com/viewto ... 51#p391251
My response to tink's claim (put her claim in there too) http://www.mafiathesyndicate.com/viewto ... 06#p392306
And my call for JJJ suspicion http://www.mafiathesyndicate.com/viewto ... 78#p392578

I didn't do much this game.

I don't think JJJ and Dunya were the only problem. But that's not the point. I don't think we were trying to get acknowledgements or reparations either. This is simply a discussion, one where we're trying to figure out where the line stands or what the ethical actions are, and how it depends on the players.

It could easily be its own topic.

But I would agree that, concerning this game, we've exhausted it. And Roll Tide as well.

I can read more than I can listen. If it isn't a problem for me, then it must not be a problem at all. 1,450 posts? No prob.

I don't think it's a problem in any normal game I play. At least for me.

there were so few new posts during that time because people had already given up on catching up, but anyways that spare time allowed Sloonei and Made to be part of the main discussion again, it also gave us time to review past posts and focus on Made.

Now I gotta agree here. I loved when nobody was posting, at least during a night phase or a less important time than dayend. I was listening to stuff during that time.

Truly, arguments about what makes the game fun or not fun -- those are meaningful and I will listen to them.

Good luck to anyone though trying to convince me that what dunya and I did in this game doesn't help civilians win the game. It isn't about voice versus text, it's about how the game of Mafia works on a message board forum.

This right here.

I'm giving feedback on the format. How it could be made better, or what could be done to make the game more enjoyable. I'm not trying to complain. Sorry if it came out that way, to any of you garralous players.

You were probably 3rd worst, but that was just volume of posts. I remember several of your posts being terse.

Perhaps those were just the ones I finished, though.

I think that's the real problem here.

And while I think this was a good game, it's something to consider. If you record for five minutes and come to 2 or 3 solutions, RERECORD! Put your thoughts in order, spit them out, and don't worry about seeming authentic in tone. Authentic thoughts will overpower that, and if anyone asks about your composure, tell them you're putting priority on other players' time.

Yes, I recognize that some of my early posts were rambly. I corrected that later, after ranting this at myself privately.

I'm not mad, I'm just putting this out there in case Vocaroo 3 happens. If the players can't handle it, I recommend a recording-length limit or a post/hour limit. Specifically for Vocaroo.

But that's my opinion. I've never failed to keep up (not catch up, KEEP up) with a game before. It destroys motivation.

I agree with all of this. I would definitely play different in vocaroo 3, if I were to join knowing what I know from this game. why r u so damn eloquent!?

I'm an author and a preacher. Only explanation I have. But thank you for the compliment!

Regarding floods of content:

If JJJ and Dunya had been WRONG this game, misled the other townies by accident, there would have been nothing we could do about it. Not enough time to keep up and strongly influence the thread. Luckily, our loud townies were good townies, and those that weren't loud (Tink, Sloonei) used the game mechanics to full effect.

I, personally, do not feel like I had much effect at all this game. And I've usually got some force in the thread, especially in lategame. The volume of content in this game prevented that. I think other townies, especially the mislynched ones, would agree with me. The only reason I wasn't on the chopping block most of the time was because of Tink.

(Tink for MVP, btw. We still might have lost if it weren't for her narrowing the pool significantly. Without that, sloonei would not have been able to narrow the pool further with his thing.)

Now, in most text post games, I can keep up. I can read faster than any person I know can talk, even at full tilt. So content was especially pronounced in this game. I found myself skipping through posts to get the gist of things, or listening to the first five seconds of 6 minute posts before they devolved into hemming and hawing. And even then I only listened to maybe (in total) 15%-20% of this game's posts.

I have never been unable to keep up with a game before, and it's not as enjoyable as being actively involved and putting my voice in the thread to actually solve things.

I'm repeating myself a bit, but that's okay, because this is a text post. :P

TL;DR - Good game, lucky that town leaders were good hunters, I didn't do much, not as fun to not be involved.

It was a cool concept, and I'd be down for another voice game, but I'd rather run it as a burglary. Over discord chat.

Wouldn't count as an official site game at that point, though.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2018 11:44 pm Note: the first Vocaroo game here covered about 400 active posts and elapsed 5.5 hours recording time. If the averages hold, that would project to 21.5 hours recording time in this game.

I refuse to put this game into one video. I refuse.

I only let my kids play because I wasn't expecting so many fucking audio posts, and so much dead air from players.

THANK YOU.

Good game guys, but my gosh, be short. I spent a good portion of the game listening to only the first 10-20 seconds of your posts, because I found that I wasn't missing much in the latter half. I may have messed up a bit at times, but most of my posts were dang short. Argh.

You have an amazingly, distinctive voice btw. Public speaker material.

I am a public speaker and voiceover artist. It's not an accident. Thank you for the compliment!

(The accent was a gimmick, like your raps. It went away fast.)
