Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind!

Alright, here's the deal: Jacob and I want to make Mafia XXX huge. Bigger than any previous Temple Mafia game, the way Mafia XXV was the biggest game to date when it took place. The numbers have only increased since then, as more Temple members have begun to play and enjoy the game, and admittedly, take it a bit too seriously sometimes.

But it has become a thing, a well known and regular pastime here at the Temple. Jacob and I want to make it bigger than ever, and in that spirit, we ask you, the users and players, if you would like to have some badges.

They would be simple; just a record of participation and achievement for this particular game of Mafia. We have the Board Awards, and we have those prizes for the crazy, continuous chatroom sessions, instances where the users of the Temple come together for some good, random fun. So why not have some badges for the biggest Mafia game the Temple has seen?

What say you? Yea or nay?

I voted yes.

But I was tempted to vote for the blank option just to be a jerk.

If we can do awards for chatroom sessions, I don't see why not. What sort of awards are we talking here? Stuff you'd vote on after the fact, like Biggest Mastermind or Most Helpful To Town or something?

Probably at least a participation award.

Whoever voted no is a fuddy duddy. Also, I considered clicking the blank option until I realized all the other kids would do it trying to be cool.

Honestly, they don't, really. The chatroom sessions were (in theory) special occasions that get commemorated by the badges. Mafia games are decidedly not special. NO matter how much Necare and Werebarret hype this game as "amazing" it's just another mafia game. 1 out of 30. I don't see why it should be any different from other mafia games and get special badges too say you participated. It just doesn't make much sense.

Bolding the part this refers to specifically for emphasis.

Understand that I say this without rancor, there's just no way to word it that doesn't sound rude: you are incorrect. What makes the chats special as opposed to the mafia games? A chatroom session can happen at the drop of a hat. There's nothing particularly special about that. Thus, precedent is established.

I tend to agree more with Bowse. I don't mind having a badge for one game, but I can see other ambitious GMs demanding them as well and the award section will get really cluttered. If we could just say it's a special thing because it's a landmark game (XXX) or something I'd be cool with it.

Also, what distinguishes those chat sessions from the others is the length. It takes teamwork to keep the chat alive for 24+ hours. That effort prevents them from starting at the drop of a hat often. Those badges are given out as a reward for cooperation.

And mafia games happen regularly and end regardless of coordination between Kradenettes. That might be why I don't like it. As it stands, the badges are basically just given out to people who were there instead of as a reward.

The chat badges set a precedent that we can give out award badges for things other than Board Awards, basically. In this case, due to the nature of setting things up and the reason for the badges, this will come down to a staff decision, not how this vote turns out, though we will obviously take this poll topic into account, as well as the reasons everyone has posted for and against. We'll also be talking more with you, Necare, and Jacob about why we should grant these awards and how the game will fit in as a Temple-wide event like the chat sessions were. The staff won't be hasty about this, so please everyone just give your thoughts peacefully so that we can consider our decision. =)
