Without flips, PM's are helping to balance the setup IMO.
Regardless of your stance on them, PM's are very pro-town, no flips is very pro-scum
That said, I'm not in the game, but you guys should consider it before voting.
This is how I felt. Me and Forumite have decided that people seem to be against the idea of PMs to the point of not playing, while others wouldn't mind PMs.
So with that in mind, I intend on dropping PMs from the game so that sign ups can continue under that pretext.

Not sure exactly what you mean by this, but maybe this answers your question?

Please check the player sign ups, if I have missed you let me know and I will add you in, as of this post I believe it should be current and correct.

Actually, I'm really sorry to do this RoL, but I wanted to play this game in part due to the PMs, cause I've wanted to play a PM game for a while.
As some people may have noticed I've been really busy lately, so the only reason I actually decided to play a game (I meant to not sign up for anything after L (also originally a PM game) really, until my schedule clears up), is the fact I thought I could just chill around in IRC/Skype and kinda play the game in the background.
So with no PMs in the game, it's basically just another game. I have no problem with seeing that the majority of players don't like PMs so I'm perfectly okay with you changing it.
It does however mean that I'm /out
Again, I'm sorry for promising to play but then outing, and this is not some ploy to get you to change your mind on removing the PMs. I just don't have the time and energy to play a normal post-based game. Good luck with your game, and good luck to the players.

I get it, thanks for the explanation. Good luck with everything Palmar.

Dunno.
First people leave because it is a PM game.
Then people leave because it isn't a PM game.
Seems like an uphill battle for host/cohost to please people.
Also, you should probably hear VisceraEyes if he's really still in since he actually did /out. I'm sorry if I gave the impression that I was in contact with him and knew something that you didn't. I hope he'll be less moody now that Palmar is /out and stay in the game 
MAN I REALLY WANT TO PLAY

Wait, no PMs? Did you just say that PMs were put in place as a balancing mechanism? Are you going to change something else to account for their removal?
|
I think people forget this is a game and that you play it for entertainment. Nothing wrong with being a bit competitive, but people make such a big deal out of the small things.

We´re not changing anything apart from removing PMs. The setup should be balanced with or without them.

Wait... why don't people want to play PM games? They are so fun!

I like non-PM better, creates that much more suspicion.

Le Sigh. I miss the days when hosts decided what rules go into the games and not the players. 
RoL, I am disappoint. I would expect you of all people to be all "Bitch please, it's in the OP. Don't like it? Don't sign up!" lol

I can see how hosts would of course like to accommodate players as much as possible, but I would think that the best strategy is to balance the game and then stick with the rules, unless someone breaks the setup or similar.
I hope 30 players die in TL Mafia L tonight.

That's not cool at all purp. Leave other games out of your post.

k i have nothing to add just gonna stop bumping

I don't think it breaks balance, it just provided another avenue for players to pursue. I think it benefits town slightly to have PM's, but there are pros and cons to it. It just depends on how you use it.
VE, I'm hosting a game for you guys to enjoy, I thought PMs would be fun if people don't want it like that then I will oblige. Another reason though is I think I will enjoy reading this game and not missing anything in PMs.
