Random Voting Stage. Basically the beginning of the game where people "randomly" vote each other and get discussion started.
For some players they leave RVS right away, others are still in RVS right now.

Ic ty
the pics are breaking for me what r they
U wot mate
The pics are Zenon's Law not existing except in a game on mafiauniverse in like April where a player called Zenon posted on the same page as the word law happened to be used.
But that still didn't include "Zenon's Law".
I.E. this doesn't exist lmao
anyway this is bad logic because several players didn't vote early (e.g. Blazade) and it's just ruling them out of the interaction entirely. I didn't vote in RVS either
It does exist. Just because there isn't a mafia universe article about it doesn't mean it doesnt exist lol.
People don't even play mafia that much on forums anymore. Most of the games are played in discord FYI.
OK and live chat mafia and forum mafia are two extremely different games with different metas around them, so live chat stuff is irrelevant here lol. I've played both, and gameplay is outright different.
Everyone was here during the RVS stage, no? Someone not voting doesn't hurt this law, it helps it actually.
When my depression hits the graveyard shift
In live chat maybe, yeah. RVS is more important in live chat mafia. Forum mafia has a very different relationship with especially early game.
It's really not that different.

Faster interaction? I guess, it depends on the player just like in forum mafia. I can go real time interaction with Celever but usually not AG.
Discord mafia and Forum mafia are very similar, all the mechanical stuff related to votes isn't invalidated at all. The people play very similar, as many discord maf players are forum maf players and vice versa.
At least where I played, discord mafia is basically exactly like Forum mafia.
The way discord is setup now it resembles a forum more and more everyday too.

Not faster interaction; live, universal, interaction. Everyone is there all the time and a game wraps up in one session. This means half the time you're reading into reaction time, and it also means the entire game is playing with pure gut because you don't have the opportunity to go back and analyse messages with a finetooth comb.
Not voting during RVS in disc mafia implies you're frozen. Not voting during RVS in forum mafia is a playstyle quirk where you want to sit back and analyse later, or where you want others to start getting interactions for you to read into without muddying the pool. Plus, especially in a game like this where we're basically all playing sequentially, RVS votes tends to be jokes.
Not to mention this game actually barely had a RVS stage. Some people tried to stick in RVS for longer than the game flow did, but they got capped quickly for doing so.
Forum mafia is much more solved and game theory based than disc mafia is. It's not to say disc mafia is low skill, but it's far more fluid wrt strategy.
I also see now you've said phase length is similar in your bullet point. That would be extremely irregular. Live mafia tends to take 30-60 minutes, and if you're playing long mafia games on disc that's a strange hybrid system that is rare.

Yeah Zenon's Law is probably BS lol. Multiple people arrived late and how they behave in RVS is more personality than alignment. I'm too much of an old fart to be playing discord mafia but if it's really 48h phases now that's interesting. I always remember how different the playstyles of say, Town of Salem players are when coming to forum mafia. Gut reads, fast and loose play, etc.
Seems like people are largely agreeing with my reads which makes me a bit suspicious, I'll have to read back at lunch and see what I can get from that.

I don’t agree with ur reads
I feel like psy is usually very transparent during his town games and here he’s just…not
Ok, cool. I was mostly gesturing at how I started to see a lot of skip/AG scumleans or votes after I went to bed and I haven't processed the wagonomics of that yet. If I'm wrong who's capitalizing? If I'm right, is everyone solid?
Interesting point about psy though, I thought he has been pretty transparent, can you elaborate?
What are you talking about? No they do not. The phases last 48 hours 24 nights usually.
No you have plenty of downtime to go back and analyze.
Celever you dont know what you're talking about.
Yeah, you can see me noting that in your post later and realising you're talking about a really niche type of mafia that is barely played. All major mafia communities have forum mafia, and short live chat mafia. That you are in a rare community that plays long form mafia on discord doesn't mean that
I don't know what I'm talking about. Your bad attitude is coming out again for no reason lol
I feel like there’s a difference here considering we’re only at page 19 on a psy game. Psy hasn’t tunneled anyone, screamed at anyone, nor has he consistently spam posted, he just feels too clam and it’s rubbing me the wrong way
Maybe 5 years ago, things are different now.
