As I understand it, a great number of the stats and monster information used in Mafia are taken from Kittiwake's Monster Survival Guide, recently Kittiwake, who had only been occasionally updating information in the recent past, resigned from the game entirely leaving lots of question marks about new and updated monsters. Recently an offer went out on the Mafia thread on the Scary Forums from another member of Kittiwake's clan, Hardcore Oxygenation, quoted here.
It seems it would be in our best interests to, as a group, keep the Monster Survival Guide running. It is, as I understand it, the source from which Mafia gets all its monster HP and stat information. I always appreciated having the HP of a monster available to me in my hit by hit decision making, especially when trying to maximize my combats in HCO.
We have quite a bit of the needed information already available to us from our logs. Though I have to admit that this early in my West-Coast morning, my brain is having a difficult time wrapping itself around the precise way to compute Attack and Defense numbers given all the variables, but I'm sure I could come up with an appropriate algorithm given time and practice.
What do you all think about this?
