why couldnt you save me?

i didn't know for sure who was going to die... i figured you like to post-a-lot, and pick on the mafia.. you deserved to die LOL... kidding.

i just didn't know who was going to die...

I think the recruitment is a good addition, either the mafia team is seriously lacking members due to them being mostly owned (this game), or than one of their members cant be bothered to play. if they recruit an important member, such as the sheriff, doctor or alliance, then... we'll have to think of something... but its going to be hard.

I think Lt-DavidW is making efforts into the next season, cause I dont think I am able to at the moment, courses and exams, but I hope to collaborate with lylesback2 into making a voting system for the future seasons.

Here is a concept that I gave to lylesback2, maybe i could get some public opinions?

Wow - I think it looks great. I don't really have any feedback, but then again I'm not a programmer.

Looks good mate, but will their be specifications for who is who in the voting system? Or will people be referred to as Player 1 or 2?

People will be displayed as names. All names will be posted (excluding your own) from the voting system. Even mafia members, doctors, sheriff and towns people will all be displayed, so it doesn't raise suspicion as to who is who.

The voting system will display 2 votes in advance for people who has busy schedules, and once voting session time has closed, the results will be posted, the member killed, saved or hung and eliminated / saved from this game. Each role in the game will have a custom designed page. Mafia members will have an elimination vote page, the doctor will have a Save Player vote page, the Sheriff will have a Suspicion vote page, and the towns people will have a Suspicion voting page too. Depending on your role, your screens will be custom and should not be shared with anyone.

If the member has been caught as mafia, or wrongfully accused, results will be instantly posted.

The system will be only for voting and results. The topic forum here on Neowin will be for discussion.

I'm quite amazed cause in my head it is quite a complex system, yet you said you can do this casually... big props to that.

On my mind right now is that, by everyone has a custom page do you mean there are specific options that is only displayed to certain members? I only have a shallow knowledge of PHP thorugh working with wordpress, but I know that PHP is able to pull strings of code depending on user, so you can have a general template, and pull an additional "Doctor" voting string that displays another option for Doctors vote and such right?

Another thing is that, rather than having members register for hte system, what if initially at game start, the system presents each player with a set of 4 letter code and each member logs in to the system using that code (fixed, cannot be changed) this ensures a easier system to work with and not have all these people registering anonymously...

Along with lessen the load on the server

Along with lessen the load on the server

I'm not worried about the load on my server, it's a mean server that can handle a lot of pressure :crazy:

I really like sundayx's idea about having a single 4-letter word login (i've always done the username / password) login, but this will be different and easier to code.

For the custom pages, just think of neowin. When you click on your profile/blog, compared to someone elses, you get an editing screen, and when someone elses views it, you get the display only.

I can't explain every detail now, but you will have to wait and see :)

Lyles, since you have a neoblog

Maybe you can like post mafia news in your blog so that for those people that dont check this topic can still be up to date on all the news(maybe do the same for the site)

Sounds great! I will (with sundayx's permission) post updates about the Mafia game

Na no need my permission or anything, besides if you are to host the system with the game, you might be the best person for the moderator...

    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
