Some games can have a Rp element to them. Most don't rp, but I think Mafia is best where it is at. Ryu anc Tan are doing character in that mafia.

Yeah, Ras has it, there can be story elements to a game and game elements to a story. Some people have used the RP forum to do stats-based RPs in the past. It's really more like, where else would mafia better fit?

Games, or in it's own forum.
Adding RP elements to a party game does not make that party game an rp.
Th current GMs may be doing very minor RPing, but do you see anybody else doing it?

Yes. Most of the past several games, especially back to Jacob's last game, included RP-like elements.

Yes, but the players didn't participate. If you have one person out of 30 RPing, it doesn't become an RP.

Actually, I would say the games forum would be one of the worst places for mafia to go to. The games forum is not for playing games. It's for discussing them. It also gets new threads considerably more often than epic adventures does. Moving mafia to the games forum could only lead to disaster.

I know, which is why I suggested a new forum.
I'm just saying that it belongs there more than in the rp section.
Which is, a fraction of a percent more than not at all.

I'm not going to be bent out of shape at all if we keep things they way they are- just making that clear ~.~ . But having all the mafia games (alive + finished), the discussion/queue thread, plus the sign-ups in one subforum (if not its own section on the index page) is appealing to me because I'm an organization freak. Model it after the way we grouped together Clan Wars in a subforum maybe?

Also, active topics ftw.

Yeah a subforum for Epic adventures sounds best to me. The mafia thing isn't big enough to warrant a whole forum(at least from my perspective). If Mafia had like 5 or 6 games going on nearly all the time a forum would be sensible, but mostly 1 or 2 games go on around here.

A subforum of EA wouldn't be bad, as long as all threads - signups included - go in there. A front-page forum is a bit excessive, IMO. Though, I don't see what'd be wrong with the current state of affairs; after all, if the Rumble counts as an RP, then why shouldn't Mafia?

because Rumble had a hell of a lot more RPing than anything I've seen in mafia? :/ I mean people talk about "RP-like elements" which I wouldn't understand, buuuut I do know Rumble had the majority of the people writing a lot of pre-match plans/plot, every single match, when I was there.

I could have sworn a subforum was the original intent of seccy's first post but oh well I guess I misunderstood. either way, that is exactly what I'd like to see, too. so.

Rumble wasn't always that way, though; it wasn't until halfway through the first one that anyone bothered RPing. :tmyk:

Sound the horn and call the cry: "How many of them can we make die?"

If you want to get really technical, even if nobody is typing up in-character descriptions, everybody who is playing mafia is still playing a role as whatever they are assigned, regardless of how well they're doing it.

I picture Mafia as a team vs team(vs whoever else) mind-battle with minor role-play elements, so Battlefield would be a pretty good place for it to move to. Yes, I actually was serious about this suggestion earlier. ~_~

Let's just wait and see what happens.

I honestly see this thread as nothing more than an attempt by someone to stir up trouble where none had existed before. (I consider myself an expert on such thing, for potentially obvious reasons.)

Honest show of hands: how many people who posted in this thread wouldn't have worried about it if this thread hadn't been created?

I don't think we have to worry about anyone here being seriously offended by the addition or omission of a subforum. We can (and did) give our opinions in a completely civil way.

Don't fret, we're mature people.

If the Maf folks would like a subforum to co-ordinate things, we can do that. Given the CWR and AoA subforums, there's certainly precedent. ^^; And we might just fold those two forums back into the RP section. Maybe they'd be less secluded that way.
