In dpicmafia at this point, there is very little support for people who speak other languages, at least from what I've seen. I say there should be lobbies made by em for people who speak different languages, and they should be publicized by the site itself. Maybe this is unnecessary, but it would help for outreach, and it would be good for people who don't want to run everything through google translate. This might not be a problem that occurs often, but its a very simple way to improve the sit. Let's have a discussion/support.
EDIT : This is a lot about the site publicizing and supporting the new lobbies more than anything else. Maybe like programming a dropdown menu to select your language. I know that people can create custom lobbies, but most of them die out very early. So ideally that wouldn't be a possibility with these lobbies. I may have messed up on the wording, main site mods won't need to enforce the rules there, maybe at the beginning until permanent mods could be assigned to those lobbies.

Lobbies for Other Languages

Lobbies for other languages created AND sponsored by the official dpicmafia moderators and site.
that doesnt mean that blacks, being the minority, cant have the resources whites have
english people use em primarily sure but theres a lot of esl people on this site too and we could easily accommodate them
and idk why this is causing so much controversy, lucids done WAY crazier

Gosh, the one thing I'm taking from this thread is that Mafia is a well-known American fad right now and the world is just waiting on someone who knows how to code to capitalize on it by really focusing on competitive mafia.

lucid, can you help get rid of turkeys before deciding to do anything with that?
maybe we don't have spanish speakers bc the whole site is in english?
well give them their own lobby, like sandbox then
yes that's what we're trying to do!!
that's not what idea lucid was having...

People on campus are like "Wow, can you imagine Town of Salem played seriously? That would be a lot of fun" and I really want to refer them to epicmafia, but every time I try they get thrown in an unranked game and decide it's even worse than town of salem.

I really think the money raised by ad traffic would go up a lot if competitive mafia were prioritized more! I see kids in my classes playing Town of Salem all of the time and saying they wished they could find a more serious version!
stop the elitist english speaking views. there are people who want to play ranked mafia in their native language because they can't speak english well enough to participate in conversations.
