Flipz Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Okay, I'm sorry if this isn't "Heroica in Space" you're planning, Flipz, but it certainly started to sound like it to me. Everything is of course in Dragonator's hands, but I just had to voice out my opinion about this matter before people got too excited about a new game. And no, I'm not jealous about a possible rivalling game, but I believe I have a say whether I want my game to be copied or not. There is room for only one Heroica RPG in EB, in my opinion. Like I said, I have a whole lot more planning ahead of me before I even pitch it. (For one thing, it's a LOT more story based, and--but anyway, irrelevant, since I have so much ahead of me.) The only reason I even spoke up was, well, I've been working on this for quite a while, and I didn't want someone else to go through all the trouble of working something up when I've already started work behind the scenes. I think Heroica is awesome, and I wouldn't want to just "re-brand" it and call it my own--I have plenty of my own stuff in mind for this.
Dragonator Posted March 10, 2012 Author Posted March 10, 2012 Personally I don't see the need for another rpg at the current time, however I will of course wait until I see your pitch before passing judgement. Bear in mind I will want to know what experience you have in games, particularly on EB. Generally I won't allow someone to host anything until they have actively participated in games for a reasonable length of time. Also, I'd like to make a quick note to everyone, as I have seen a few issues arising recently. If you are not playing in a game, then you should NOT comment on a player's in game posting, particularly with regard to content and style. If a rule has been violated, the game host will deal with it, and only the game host will deal with it.
Hinckley Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 A reminder to those of you putting Mafia/Heroica/History Forum Guild resumes and stats in your signatures: Signatures: As a rough rule, you may use up to four pictures each with a maximum pixel height of 200, a file size of 250k and no more than 200 words. If your sig is bigger than your average post, it can confuse someone reading a thread and you may be asked to reduce it, or a staff member may do it for you. Some exceptions may be made on a case by case basis, but please try to limit the space you use. Font size should be kept to a minimum: ideally no bigger than size 3. No animated GIFs are to be used in your signatures. Perhaps a better place for these stats is your user profile. Generally, your signature should not be much taller than 200 pixels and many of you are pushing that, trying to promote your guild/character/or gaming history. Please put an end to this trend. Thank you.

Thank you. What is the poilcy on spoilers in a signature? (That way, if people are interested they can click, but it wouldn't be immediately distracting. Pics in spoilers would obviously still be an issue [because of how the coding works], but text space could still be there.)

Brickdoctor Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Read up a few posts or 10. Actually, I don't think anything has recently been said in this topic concerning spoilers in sigs. Your post about them was in another topic.

Sandy Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 Alright, I'm sure many of you have eagerly waited for a new Mafia School game to start, so I'm pleased to announce that the sign-ups for the next installment (hosted by me) start next week. However, since I didn't want to host another game with ninjas right after badboytje, I changed the theme of my game. Let me introduce... Find out next week what it is all about.
Masked Builder Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 Wow, I wish I was playing in it Sandy! It looks to be fun.

Brickdoctor Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 Looks great, Sandy. I'm looking forward to making fun of the n00bs following this game.
Capt. Redblade Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) Princess Bride? Princess Bride Mafia would actually be pretty cool . (Hintedy hint hint, all you future Mafia hosts out there.) "My name is Inigo Montoya. You lynched my father. Prepared to be bussed." Edited March 25, 2012 by Capt. Redblade
Brickdoctor Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 "My name is Inigo Montoya. You lynched my father. Prepared to be bussed." 'Bussed'? That means you're both Scum. Vote: Inigo Montoya (Capt. Redblade). I wonder how many people will use the WIFOM Scum tell in Princes Bride Mafia.
Capt. Redblade Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 'Bussed'? That means you're both Scum. Vote: Inigo Montoya (Capt. Redblade). I wonder how many people will use the WIFOM Scum tell in Princes Bride Mafia. Are you the sort of man who would put the WIFOM into his own goblet, or his enemy's? Vote: Westley (Brickdoctor)
K-Nut Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 Are you the sort of man who would put the WIFOM into his own goblet, or his enemy's? Vote: Westley (Brickdoctor) He wouldn't care, if he was poisoned, he'd come to Miracle Max. But in all seriousness Sandy, I'm intrigued.
Nightshroud99 Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 That sounds like a fun Mafia school Sandy Oh and a Princess Bride Mafia would be hilarious.

The Legonater Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 He wouldn't care, if he was poisoned, he'd come to Miracle Max. Ah, but that would depend if he was all dead, or mostly dead
Laura Beinbrech Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) Hi, all! I've been kind of lurking this forums for the past week or so (mainly due to having LEGO block), and not knowing what a "Mafia" game was, decided to look it up on Wikipedia. I found the concept to be rather intriguing, and started reading through the Yakuza Family threads to kind of get the feel of how one plays these games (I also have come up with some theories of my own about some of the night action events, but I shall respect the no-kibitzing rule ). I would be interested in enrolling in this new Mafia School, if you'll have me. There are a few things I would kind of like cleared up, specific to this forum. Namely, what's the policy on non-players posting in the mafia game discussion threads? I know that it's against the rules to post in the actual game threads (Duh!), but I kind of wanted to post some comments on the pictures Def posted in the Yakuza discussion thread, having lived in Japan myself, but decided to wait until I knew it would be OK... Oh, and a big thank you to everyone who hosts these games! I can tell just by looking at the various vignettes used to create the scenery for each day thread in the mafia games that a SERIOUS amount of work goes into hosting them! Oh, and I'm getting a few good laughs at all the "Princess Bride" references going on here... Too bad we'll never see an offical LEGO Princess Bride theme (although I'm planning on incorporating the "Dread Pirate Roberts" into my wacky LEGO setting somewhere). Edited March 26, 2012 by Hikaro Takayama
CorneliusMurdock Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Anyone is allowed to post in the discussion threads. What's hard about that is not posting things that could have an affect on gameplay. So no strategizing or evaluating players. Posting something in response to def's pictures of Japanese cuisine would be acceptable, I think. Just remember that in itself was slightly off topic so don't go overboard.

This has got to be the second most strange mafia game 1st place goes to Belville Mafia (That was disturbing) Edited March 26, 2012 by zakura
Hinckley Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 This has got to be the second most strange mafia game 1st place goes to Belville Mafia (That was disturbing) Second most strange? You've only seen the banner?
Poison Ivy Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Second most strange? You've only seen the banner? I can sort of see where Zakura is coming from. With the banner looking like it is, it looks like the father is telling his son a bedtime story about the Mafia.... (gulps inwardly)....If it is like that, we're going to ruin the poor kid's childhood for sure.

Am I the only person here who ruins peoples' childhoods on a regular basis?
