Welcome to The Syndicate [mention]Fractal[/mention]! Tell us a little about yourself and how you found us. 

Murder, Mayhem, and Mafia

Hello, and thank you! I'm not allowed to talk about why I came here in detail right now, but I'll do that when [redacted] is over. Anyway, I've played some forum games on Mafia Universe, but mostly i've played loads of mafia IRL at conventions and such since a couple of years back. How this community handles roles and such is different from what I'm used to but I'll see what I think about it once i try it out ^^.
How cool is that! Unlike you, I've never played mafia in real life yet (simply haven't met the right people, I guess!). I first started playing forum mafia around 2011? I think.Fractal wrote: ↑Sun Jun 17, 2018 10:13 amHello, and thank you! I'm not allowed to talk about why I came here in detail right now, but I'll do that when [redacted] is over.

I've read around a little, for example the "introduction to mafia" post. I understand that normally it's not allowed to claim things regarding your own role/results (unless the host says it is).
But is it allowed to generally speculate about role actions that's happend previous nights, or openly discuss what a specific role should do during coming nights to be most effective, as long as no one claims or hints at their own results/role? I just want to get a feel for where the lines are drawn so i don't make something prohibited in my first game, but also don't let any opportunities go to waste ^^.

Welcome! I've played a few games over on MU as well, what's your username over there?Fractal wrote: ↑Sun Jun 17, 2018 10:13 amHello, and thank you!

Welcome to the community!! Fractal, it is becoming more common to have games where you can claim your role/results in games. The host will usually specify in the rules whether it is allowed or not but if they don't, just shoot them a PM and ask them. We would love to have you jump into a game and in fact we are looking for just two more people for Courage the Cowardly Dog http://www.mafiathesyndicate.com/viewto ... =33&t=1589 if you would like to sign up. Or, there is a smaller game called a heist in sign-ups (Friends) http://www.mafiathesyndicate.com/viewto ... 07#p458807. In addition to that we would be happy to have you join us on our Discord server https://discord.gg/B8nuAFq/. Some of us hang out there, usually there are more at night but come anytime and see if anyone's there. It's very informal, just a place to talk. Again, welcome!Fractal wrote: ↑Sun Jun 17, 2018 10:13 amHello, and thank you! I'm not allowed to talk about why I came here in detail right now, but I'll do that when [redacted] is over.

We have different setups here, closed and open setups, and claiming is either allowed or not allowed by the host of the game. Each game will have its own set of rules posted at the beginning of the game and players are encouraged to read through for new rules or special game mechanics. I don't think I've yet played 2 games with identical setups here yet which keeps things refreshing and fun! I was also a bit confused by the open setups that most hosts prefer here (and as such don't allow claiming), and wondered how anyone will be able to solve anything. :p I started playing on another website and there weren't all that many open setups to my knowledge. but it works... and yes, of course you can speculate as much as you want about role actions / night actions / and what you think specific roles should do (though you should be careful there because scum can also read the suggestions sometimes :p ).
I'm really excited to see you play and maybe play with you soon! Do you do better with a town or scum role? ;)

Haha, yeah, i've been just checking out that Courage game and was thinking of signing up. I'm going away 5-8 july, so was planning on sniping the last spot if it seemed like we were ready to start. Was planning on asking a couple of setup questions to the host actually. And thanks!juliets wrote: ↑Sun Jun 17, 2018 10:33 amWelcome to the community!!

Yay!RobotNerd277 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 01, 2018 9:56 pm Hi there, I'm RobotNerd277, and I just played a fantastic game with M Plus 7 on Mafia Universe, and I kind of want to see more of the community that bred such a fantastic mafia player. I'm not really like, an MU player, but my home forum is a lot more insular and basically impossible to derive a meta from.
I'm a chronically busy human being, but not generally a lowposter per the standards I am used to, but may be somewhat less than totally attentive in general? I play for fun, but winning is fun, and also, getting to know one another via mafia is also very much fun.
Anyways, I've been playing mafia on plenty of different sites since like 2012 and I want to try out this one maybe. Hope to see you all around!

We're so happy to have you RobotNerd! I look forward to playing a game with you. Any friend of MP's is a friend of ours. Don't worry about being busy, lots of us have to play while juggling many other balls. You'll fit right in. Also feel free to join us on our Discord channel where we hang out and talk about whatever. It's a very friendly group. Here's the link: https://discord.gg/B8nuAFq/ .

Hello! I think we'll get along. I tend to miss 2+ days at a time from mafia games, but still manage to post more than most.RobotNerd277 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 01, 2018 9:56 pm Hi there, I'm RobotNerd277, and I just played a fantastic game with M Plus 7 on Mafia Universe, and I kind of want to see more of the community that bred such a fantastic mafia player.

I played IRL mafia in high school, then played some over IRC, then played one single forum game on SMW Central which isn't really much to write home about, then promptly ignored the game online for almost 6 years until I got bored at work one day. I call Flash Flash Revolution my mafia home site.
I'm not good (and I think I've had a particularly bad run of games recently), but I at least like quoting posts and going "hm" a bunch. And I also like getting around to other sites and hanging around with people who play this game.
So yeah, hi!

Hi! Welcome to the syndicate! We love people that come to hang out with us. We also have a Discord server (which is nowhere near as big as the one you're used to) and it's at https://discord.gg/B8nuAFq/ . Join us if you can and if you can't, see you in the threads. Hope you'll play a game with us soon but there are other off topic threads too. Again, welcome.Khaetl wrote: ↑Mon Aug 13, 2018 2:54 pm Hi. I'm a baby cow and I've waved a single hello to MP7 before.

Hi White and Welcome!! We have some pretty passionate people playing here to so like Epi said you will fit right in. There is a lighter skin which I use called prosilver. Go to the upper right hand corner of this page next to Private Messages where you see your name. Click on the drop down. Go to Board Preferences then Edit Global Settings, then go down the settings list until you see My Board Style. Click the drop down and select prosilver. Scroll to the bottom and click on submit.

Im from another community and Id heard good things about this place so I thought id check it out. Id heard nice things about the community, and I thought itd be good experience to try and switch up the people I play with. I get pretty passionate when I play mafia though, as I hate losing but Ill try and hold myself to a better standard here. Im one of the best on my site though, so watch out for me.![]()
Hopefully we can host some cross community games between us in the future. The games on my place tend to be pretty role madness heavy and theyre a lot of fun. Also are there any lighter coloured skins here?
OMG you must come to our discord server. We have a channel called "syndicats". Everybody posts their cat pictures there. You can get to our discord channel here https://discord.gg/B8nuAFq/ . See ya there!
