lolcat Mafia Peanut Gallery

[Mephistopheles]

HA! Yes! RA was scum! And a pretty important scum by the looks of things...

[RappingAgnostic]

That's what I get for having a life outside of the internet.

[J.A.Poisson]

No, that's what you get for being scum.

[Mephistopheles]

No, that's what you get for being scum.

Fucking pwn'd.

Now that that’s over…

I think you can appreciate citizen; crime fighting never takes a break.



I trust though that you and I can still put it behind us…

hey oblivion, please godkill the next person to edit a post. It's not like they haven't been warned.

[Don't Panic]

One scum down, it's a start kids.


Let's see what the morning brings.

*looks at all the people who have made edits*

Hey Oblivion,
Please take a close look at people who are using the peanut gallery to game play.
Wait! That might come back and bite me.
I'm sure you PM anyone who crosses the line accidentally or otherwise.
And I'm sure there is some sort of mafia game karma where people who knowingly cross the line get their just rewards.
On the mafiascum wiki it suggests assassins/vigilantes who lack sufficient evidence to make a strategic "kill" should consider a gratuitous "hit" on disruptive game trouble-makers.

i edit posts because i mix up letters.....i just edit to make more legible....if that's ebil then i'm sorry

[J.A.Poisson]

no, you edited to hide a fos of someone once you realised the day was over

[oblivion]

no, you edited to hide a fos of someone once you realised the day was over

If I catch someone making an edit of game-affecting nature I will godkill them.

I'm serious.

Get used to playing without edits. If you play mafia on one of the serious sites it will get you godkilled no matter how minor and inconsequential the edit.

[Redial]

the edit was a vote to lynch someone, i thought it was day time but it wasn't i got confused, so i edited out saying as such, but my views hasn't changed

[oblivion]

I'll see what I can do to prevent this in the future. Sifaka has posted gameplay posts right after nightfall both game days so far. It might work to just lock the game threads until it's time for the new day to start.

[Redial]

good idea because the time frames are so confusing, and i just got them and then they changed....

I think the no PM and no editing rules have the useful and interesting effect that they enable the Moderator and other players to identify a post which contains information or wording that could only have been possible by cheating.
Eg. Player X and player Y both claiming and agreeing upon a fact which only one of them officially knew.

There are millions of ways they could have passed a note under the table. And a player could make a deliberate typo or conspicuous mistake as a sleight of hand ploy which would allow them them an excuse to edit that post later - at which time they could edit something else in the post. The edit trail would simply show "edited 1 time".

It's not just about the inconvenience of reading posts more than once in case the person didnt get it right the first time or making sure the game isnt made redundant by someone who has worked out a failsafe way to cheat via PM. You might think about cheating and communicating by PM or in real life but it would not do you any good because you couldnt then explain your motives/actions in the game thread.

I think it is a way to show players that if you cheat you will get caught because everything you do in the game is on the record. (Unlike some football players salary caps)

P.S. -

no, you edited to hide a fos of someone once you realised the day was over

Could someone please tell me what a "fos of someone" is.
