Engerek01: With the rise of racism on GOG, I am less and less inclined to check GOG at all. The hate I had to endure this year here just because I am a Muslim Turkish has been quite upsetting and tiring for me.

That sounds terrible but know this - I've pretty much limited my interaction on GOG for the past couple of years to a very particular group of esteemed ladies and gentlemen in the mafia community and have been having a blast. I don't even know what's been going on in the other parts of the forum - that's how nice these people are. So, consider sticking around with us and it's likely you'll just forget you have been pursued and insulted based on who you are IRL as no one here will do so, I assure you.

You will be pursued for being scum though, but that's a nice thrill most of the time.

Lifthrasil: Yes, some people in the forum are a*holes. But like catte, I hope that you stay. The mafia-subset of the forum is quite nice and not racist. And I would like to play with you. Especially after your performance in my game! Please consider to stay, just within the mafia threads.

Huh? I didn't notice that I'm upside down? Am I?

Why? Honestly why?
I can not understand why someone would do this. For me your origin is more of "Ah he is from there." *Shrug*
than anything else. Actually I began with you saying this to recocnize consciously, that you are someone from Turkey. Until now I always had to think about US with their thanksgiving and the celebrationturkey.
For me until someone is an asshole he is just an alias on the forum for fellow gamers and I rarely even conscious recocnize the region there are from for some seconds.

TLDR My mind in incompprehensible from understanding the region hate.

Interesting. I see myself right side up. Another GOG forum quirk, I guess.
Soooo... is this game happening or not?
If we get a 9th it ca be 7 vs 2. Otherwise with the current number it's 7 vs 1.

catte, right?

7:2 is quite OP in the mafia's favour in a vanilla game. It gives the town only a 1 in 3 chance if they lynch randomly, and less in practice because of the mafia advantage.

It would be nice if we could have more than one mafia, but that only starts being remotely realistic when you get to 12 players and it doesn't look like that's happening any time soon.

Do we play with 8 players or does anyone fancy forming a press gang?
Yes, with 2 Mafia players the effective formula won't even be close to 50% till we get much more.

I say give a "final call" to the usual suspects who still aren't playing, and if not just start.

(If we go with 1 Mafia only, please make sure they have Day Chat to compensate)

Day chat is the equivalent to another 1/2 a mafia player so 3/2 v 7 would probably swing it too far the other direction and end up with an OP mafia again.

Good idea. Hopefully it results in a QT full of insane ramblings.

I'm going for a nap, I'll ping/PM people when I come back.
Right, PM'd a bunch of peeps.
I absolutely suck at keeping track of things nowadays

Engerek01: snip
I am very sorry that you have had a bad experience on GOG overall, but please reconsider staying on gog in the mafia sub-community. We avoid all instances of name-calling and hating due to location, nationality, race or creed inside this community, no matter what is the forum as a whole. Honestly, I have stopped using much of the forums except mafia (partly lack of time, partly being frosted with the attitudes on display elsewhere by some of the non-mafia-players.) I can recommend this as a stress-free approach to the forum. There has only been one or two unpleasant instances in the last year that I have been playing, and that has been more due to one particular player who rarely plays with us and isn't in this game.

Korotan spoke, as far as I know, for us all when he said that anybody's location etc means nothing to us except as a interesting tidbit to be remembered for time-zone discussions, or to keep in mind in case of a potential language-or-translation-based misunderstanding-of-idioms if one arises, as has once or twice due to dedoporno or blotunga (I forget which, sorry @dedo and @blot) being from Eastern Europe and another player using a local idiom that didn't quite translate well. This wasn't a matter that caused unpleasantness, however, it was merely a thing that happened where the framer of the statement had to rephrase something.
Further than this, even, I think the people here tend to be quite interested in other players' local idioms that used to express any particular concept.

I know I'm super late, but I don't hate you for being a Muslim Turkish. I hate those who hate you for that.

Even if the whole forums have gone to crap, we make sure that our Mafia games aren't. Feel free to limit your forum activity to just this subcommunity, and let everything else burn down.
