Mafia 1988: MGSF Legends - bigboss88 - 04-11-2026
THE RULES OF A MAFIA GAME:
MEMBERS — TOWN:
MODS — MAFIA:
PROLOGUE:
Once upon a time, there was a place called MGSF. A humble Metal Gear Solid forum where friendships were made, arguments were endless, and people took fictional military conspiracies far more seriously than their actual lives.
Years have passed. The old members have grown older, supposedly wiser, and somehow even more dysfunctional. Now they’ve reunited, along with a few familiar moderators, to settle an important question: Who really owns MGSF?
Three moderators. Eight members. One game of betrayal.
Welcome back to MGSF. Please keep the arguments civil. The moderators are armed.
DAY 1 THREAD: Cooking with Mr. Tibbs:

Okay, that video is awesome. Leaving the whole AI debate elsewhere... how the hell did it know how to render the Red Eye Beret properly? That thing is niche even by MXO standards. It was a reward few people ever wanted or wore, used by NPCs that were phased out for a redesign after a year or two, and the significance of the shape of its decoration was actually a subtle hint at a twist years in advance. It shouldn't be getting that right.

Obviously a Machine would know how to render something that exists only within The Matrix, star!

You seriously have no idea how many videos I generated with trial and error until I shaped the whole thing to get this outcome. I spent not less than 16 hours on those 2:50 minutes! 😅🤣

You'd be surprised! As technology improved (Graphics cards, the next Windows version), the game rendered incorrectly. I'm not joking. People who installed Vista had new graphical bugs, people who got newer GPUs had lower frame rates. Only fan efforts (that I'm unsure can be discussed here)... as of now... are starting to make what was once MXO play well with modern tech.

1988, the year Chuck Russell's The Blob released. I'm guessing that's the theme?
Try PMing me now, my inbox was full. @bigboss88
The intro is fire by the way, love it.

Some other movies of note from 1988:
Rambo III, an obvious heavy influence on MGSV's Afghanistan portion.
Die Hard, influential on the action genre in every medium, but especially the notion of one character having to sneak and fight his way past a large number of heavily armed opponents.
Twins, wherein Arnold Schwarzenegger was created in a genetic experiment that left his inferior genes in the form of Danny DeVito. I feel like this "we don't need to try too hard" comedy may have been the inspiration for Liquid.
1988 also marked the year some obscure video game called Metal Gear got its first North American release. But it was a buggy NES port of an allegedly superior MSX game from Japan. First impressions are important, so needless to say nothing of consequence came of this forgotten title. AVGN did a decent episode lampooning it, I guess.

This is fucking hilarious. Sublime work BB. Should have had Intandem as a mafia role, though.

I remember Intandem! I hope he’s Okay wherever he is. First, I wanted to do a Shadow Moses theme, but I then I thought that I really missed you, guys! Especially, after playing with you all in the last game and interacting in the other thread. I really did miss our wonderful community in my life. It was a real part of us all. So, why not make this tribute to this wonderful place. It was when I came up with this theme and idea.
And yeah, in case you guys hadn’t noticed, but the game had already started! 🤣

I don't! 🤣
Alright let's crack some skulls and take some names, in that order.
If Aragorn plays remotely well this game I'd say he's suspect.
