EpicMafia DEAD

[rmpeacoc]

Get ready for an influx of new members! I just joined yesterday, afraid that it wasn't an April Fools joke. As the site (www.epicmafia.com) is still down, it seems that it is being hacked a lot and the owner isn't even sure he wants to bring it back. Unfortunately there isn't another site like it out there.

What this means for mafiascum.net:

If it catches on, you might see A LOT of newbies. If they are from EM, they are going to want the games to move faster than they are now (It's only been a day and i'm sitting here tapping my foot waiting for people to post).

Anyway I just thought I'd warn you all... this could be AMAZINGGGG!

A lot of my favorite members originally played at EpicMafia. Admittedly some of the worst members did as well. I'd be happy to see new faces. Many will certainly have a period of adjustment as the playstyle, meta, etc. is much different here and some will not stay because of that. But I hope many will.

[rmpeacoc]

I do think that the problem will, as I said, be that people will want to play faster than things go on here. We shall see. Regardless, I'm liking the play style and the ability of really being thorough instead of just fosing the first person that says something scummy!

[zoraster]

Oh I'm sure. We always get a trickle of players who come on and whine about how slow the games are and how we should play differently. Eventually they either acclimatize or leave.

That said, Newbie games are actually some of the slowest on the site. Many still have 3 week deadlines whereas 2 weeks is more standard across the rest of the site. If you want a fast pace, I'd suggest either Large Games (because there are more people posting, it seems far more active) or Micros (because they tend to have shorter deadlines and people play faster). Certain Open games are also options. Still, you're looking at games that'll last in the weeks to months rather than games lasting minutes.

[Zachrulez]

Deadlines have been getting shorter as time goes on. When I joined days could last MONTHS. Then the 3 week standard came about, and now 2 weeks seems to be more then norm.

RIP EM.

I played in EM for like 5 months. (Kinda wanna hide my EM username for now)

I agree with Newbie game. Lot of replacement, lot of lurking.

[borkjerfkin]

welcome EM people

hopefully you get a taste of what it's like to have good site meta while you're here

[rmpeacoc]

well if you know me you'll know me by my username because it is the same.

I replaced someone in a newbie game which was nice because i got to join after RVS but I am still feeling like it is slow. I just need to find something else to help occupy my time. Forum mafia is better than no mafia, and even if EM does come back (there's still a chance because I think the owner might just get harassed enough) I'll probably still stick around. Seems to be a good crowd and less if any trolling which is really nice

Epic mafia or not, Dean approves new females

Please do not discuss ongoing games outside of the game itself. This is an essential rule on Mafiascum given the pace of games.

[rmpeacoc]

Don't see how I was breaking that rule... sorry if it was in fact out of line...

Wait what? Lucid shut it down? Because of one deranged 13 year old ddoser?

WAT LUCID WAT

[Timeater]

The site is probably just down like usual I dont believe you

[rmpeacoc]

On the facebook page he said he was going to try to fix this weekend, but he told people in emails that maybe this is a sign that he should just give up on it

[Korts]

Instagram self-pic avatar right out of the gate? I hope you're more entertaining than the last batch of EM trolls.

[GuyInFreezer]

There was a forum topic about it iirc

[Timeater]

He's just being mopey, have faith

And if it doesn't come back its time to build something better

[rmpeacoc]

I just uploaded what I had. I used a peacock feather on EM

I'll try to entertain. No Promises though!

[rmpeacoc]

Yeah I figured I can get over it. Like I said I'll just need to find some other things to occupy my time.

[UberNinja]

Wow you certainly post a lot. You should join a game with me and Vifam

Also, ignore the assholes and/or be really good at mafia, and they shut up eventually. lol

[UberNinja]

Also, RIP EM if that's true. I loved my 5 days or so of EM. haha

[GuyInFreezer]

Crap. UN found this thread. My secret is revealed!

[Nero Cain]

If this is a true story then I'd welcome playing with new players, I just hope they learn a lil' how to play on this site.
