    Theme: Mafia Channel
    I know we already had one similar to it, but it was removed. Besides, I always liked making any kind of theme where I was one of the main good guys in it. It's overall pretty balanced roles-wise. And a few of the bad guys are seen as good guys becaues I want to help mafia players learn not to trust every claim they see. Plus i just like messing with the inspectors ^-^

Well you can refer to such people as Happythetaco, Wobuffet, Dark Phoenix, XerxesBreak, LadyHoliday, Demonic Cake, and Oh So Shoddy for some help! Watch out for players like RockyRd and Wasabi121. They might CLAIM to be good guys, but they're not! They've even hired some help from the trolls of Mafia to help them out too! Serpentine is tired of helping people, so he's just gonna slay whoever he wants.",

    Oh man, I'd like to approve it but those themes simply don't work - people leave, new people come, people get banned, people come back after months, people want their role to be something more important and then it all becomes a mess, your just another theme that no one ever players. Sorry to say it so early but it's denied.

    The theme is kinda interesting due to the flavour, but the way the roles are laid out and such is rather...generic, I guess. The village is fairly standard (which isn't a bad thing) but the mafia is basically reduced to kill during a phase. I like the idea of a mafia daykiller revealing as the Samu, but the ruse is up quickly when one or the other is voted out. All in all it has some okay ideas but it needs something besides flavour to make it interesting.

    I'm gonna have to Reject. Some of your ideas are good though, and you could implement them in a different theme in the future.

    As everyone else said, i to reject this theme.

    The reason is simply, we have had MANY of those themes, and all of them was deleted within a month or so, or where rarely played, main reason was because those got outdated, and some people even leave Mafia if they feel like they got to busy etc.
    We get new people to mafia everyday, and most of the time Senior mafians leave, just like Zzyzx Road said.

    You guys should heed this:

    You're more than welcome to state your opinions. But we actually keep track of the number of approvals and rejections. So until you get invited to the QC team, just state your opinion without the bold.

    As much as I hate to say this - even as I'm included in the theme for the first time, user-based mafia themes do not work generally. It's nothing against you really because the theme could be flawless but the subject of the theme can and will influence how it will be played especially considering the abundance of Users in Mafia. I highly suggest doing other themes that will be based on static objects instead of the fluctuating status of mafia.

    tl;dr, deny

    Normally I'd reject, but I think the point has been hammered in enough. This sort of theme has been tried over and over, and has failed repeatedly. This won't change anything
    I hope this does not dishearten you from creating more themes though, because I can see you have potential.

    Just to reiterate, XerxesBreak. It's not your coding or concepts that are being disapproved, just the character sets. I'm sure you'd have a pretty solid theme were you to base your ideas on some other subject matter

    I'd like to note that having /ban as a command would not be a good idea because Admins+ will server-ban the user and the actual action won't go through!

    XD Yea, i guess I didn't think that bit through. But that would only happen if the admins actually got the admin roles. But yea, i guess this isn't gonna work out.
