communism could theoretically be okay.

exept for the fact that the leaders alway's think that even tough everyone is equal, they are a little more equal and thus deserve more.

FM is Forum Mafia - instead of playing in game, you play it on the forum. The phases are much longer, there is different/more roles, and you have to be more involved. Instead of relying on Night Actions / Dumb Luck, Forum Mafia requires you to read every post, to analyze every behavior, and in general be a better player to either find scum, or hide as scum.

If you want to play a game intended for newer players, you can join NFM.

No. That isn't mafia. The closest thing to that is the rainbow games.

I would say that arguably there has been a cult game or two?

Only 4C and Blacklist FM, and both of those had towns.

I would like to play more FM, but because of my slow reading speed I am unable to keep up. I could spend 5-6 hours a day on FM and still be unable to finish reading the thread, making reads, and coming to a logical conclusion. Does anyone here have any tips for me on how to keep up without spending a ridiculous amount of time?

I'd be a fool to give you tips whilst not utilizing them.

Asking questions and/or opinions about specific matters could help. People may accuse you of laziness, but it helps you see who's pro-discussion and who's not.

Skipping posts you believe do not contain important information about their game stance would most definitely help, but don't forget to read them back when you have extra time.

Suggestion: every so often take a few experimental roles and create a rolelist built around them, like a standard rolelist but the experimental roles take up alignment of whatever their alignment is. say experimental role A, B, C, D.


Spoiler: Role A has an alignment of Town Killing
Role B is Mafia Deception
Role C is Town support
Role D is Neutral benign

So a standard-ish role list is built around these four roles, and the respective Alignments are filled in with one of each role, say:

TI
TI
TP
TP
TS
TS
Role C
Role A
Citizen
Citizen
Citizen
Citizen
Citizen

Mafia Head
Mafioso
Role B
Mafia support

Role D
NB
NE
NK

This would rule out the possibility of a closed game. I think it would be best to give it it's own label, separate from the other five, like EFM (experimental forum mafia)
This would have to be hosted by a mod unless the mods think regular hosts could handle this.
At the end of the game, a result will be given by the mod overseeing, on whether the experimental roles have passed testing, failed and need to be reworked, or need to be tested further.

it would probably fit into an sfm or even a standard game depending on what roles are being tested.

are you referring to roles that aren't used often like detonator/werewolf or are you talking about completely new roles being introduced?

Werid question but

If someone manages to break the game rules in such a way that the punishment for it benefits their faction, is it a valid tactic?

i'm pretty sure that it isn't a valid tactic because it's breaking the rules and going against the spirit of the game.

it's like getting yourself modkilled as town to prove your claim. yeah it helps the town get a proper lynch off, but you are deliberately breaking the rules of the game to do it, meaning you would probably be punished outside the game afterwards.

p-edit: there aren't many other good roles out there that would fit into fm which haven't already been used. you could probably use some of the roles that are in the testing grounds, but even most of them are just remakes of fm roles. other than that it sounds pretty good.

breaking the rules is still breaking the rules. I don't know how that isn't clear.

I have heard of a case where someone quoted their rolecard in order to be modkilled, confirm themselves as a Cop, and by doing so, get the person they were pushing lynched
It is because of hearing about this that I am asking.
