Behavioral Analysis, Chapter 2 – Evaluating the Strength of Evidence By Azrael So, you’ve got a case on a player you think is scum.

Behavioral Analysis, Chapter 1 – Causal Analysis By Azrael This is mafia. The entire point of the game is semantics. How do we get better at playing mafia? At the end of the day, it all boils down to one thing: honing our behavioral edge. Role analysis and design speculation only get us so far, esp...

The Pinocchio Problem: When Should a Townie Lie? By Azrael Once upon a time, the world of mafia believed implicitly in a golden rule: lynch all liars (LAL).

I'd be down to mod anything non magic related, maybe mafia? But we already have two mods for that.

Whatever really.
An Entertainment section? WCT? I wouldn't be interested in either of those.

Let's face it, we all used Outside Magic fairly often. Might as well re-create it here.

I'll go out on a limb and suggest the name doesn't have 'mtg' at the start.
But, in the long run, we want it to be a legit MTG site, right?

If so, it should, and it should be MTG: Phoenix.
