I have zero tolerance for flaming, and I will ban/modkill you. You have been warned What constitutes as flaming? The real reason I'm asking is I hate not being able to call people dumb when they're dumb. I find it really unbalanced that people are allowed to post stuff that's so stupid that it's borderline trolling, intentionally or not, but I'm not allowed to say that everything they're saying is incredibly dumb and worthless. ie: If I join, can I call people dumb when they're dumb? To clarify, I want to call whatever people are saying dumb, not insult the person directly, though most of the time an indirect insult is taken. | ||

To clarify, I want to call whatever people are saying dumb, not insult the person directly, though most of the time an indirect insult is taken. Why do you hate not beeing able to call someone dumb? Do you go around calling people dumb in your daily life as well? If all played this game like they would if it were a live, I think there would be no need to clarify what is ok and what is not. I see two reasons for calling someone (or what they write) dumb->stupid->retarded and that is; one: anger two: domination technique. And you could argue that domination techniques should play a part in mafia, but just as in real life domination techniques are really counterproductive. It can win you an arguement (even though you are completely wrong), and it works for pushing your own agenda. But in any environment where cooperation is key cheap domination techniques only have negative effects (Be it in a company, in a family, on a sportsteam). Some people see Mafia as a ME v The rest kind of game, and for them I can see using domination techniques as a valid tactic. Yeah, and also for scum it is a valid tactic, as it really disrupt the threads and alienate players. | ||

Then you can still call someone dumb, but everyone thinks you're a perfect gentleman when doing it and wbg will want to lynch you for that. So before doing that you have to check wether or not wbg is in the game as well. Edit: Oh crap those roles are so awesome. There's at least 2 roles I always dreamt of playing and 2 more roles that look REALLY sexy to me :3 Screw you GM for making me dissapointed either way: "ooooh, I've got A and I always wanted to play A, but that means I won't get to play X,Y and Z this time  "This game is going to be so awesome :p | ||

This is a refined game, I expect you all to behave like Gentlemen (or Ladies, as the case may be). I will not hesitate to modkill or outright ban you for excessive behavior, this includes abusive language and personal attacks. I don't mind you saying "fuck" every once in a while, I don't want to see "FUCKING DIPISHIT, FUCK MAFIA FUCKING SPAM FUCK FUCK FUCK DICKNIPPLES". I'm tired of that kind of shit. Standard tl behavior rules. No personal attacks. The occasional "you idiot T.T" or such post (especially if warranted) is ok, no more than that though. 2.) Don't spam. This isn't IRC, try to consolidate your posts, its horrible when pages 20-80 are all one line posts between two players yelling at each other 3.) Activity. Yes, the guideline is one post per cycle and a vote, but I'll be disappoined if that is the most you do. I do keep track of activity levels, so if you are really inactive I'll make sure you don't get invited to any of my future invitationals, or get preference in signups. Too inactive and I might blacklist you altogether. 4.) Memes and Gifs. Zero tolerance pretty much, as in elsewhere on tl, I will not allow them. Pictures that are not memes are generally ok. No memes (u mad?) or stupid gifs or meme based image macros. Its stupid and belongs on 4chan. 5.) Have fun. This is a game, the point is to enjoy yourself, so by all means, roleplay to your hearts content, lynch mafia, kill townies, dance and have a ball, there is no point in stressing out over a game. So if I understand rule 4 and 1 correctly and I'll attempt to adress them in one stone. It would be wildly inapropriate for me to post something like this when the game starts? ![[image loading]](http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvbesyafep1qafrh6.gif) | ||

I want to be Palmar "post your spreadsheet or I'll blast you away" just if I realy end up being a dayvig I know there's noone else being a day-vig so obviouly I won't have the usual palmerish problems. I could bring his strategy to perfection! Edit: LOL screw that. I'm picking town godfather | ||

 what hapens with town GFs and scum Traitors? a scum Traitor would be pretty fucking awesome IMO. When targeted by night actions, becomes town. Except he can communicate with scum! Maybe it should have a limitation tho, which is "cannot claim their teammates without a real case, otherwise town loses" :D Or just disallow scum traitors. | ||

The way I understood it Mafia-roles can only be picked by mafia. | ||

Traitor - You hold no allegiance to the town. If you are targeted by Scum at night with any action, instead of that action happening you'll be recruited by them instead. You lose if the Mafia lose. However you are part of the town count before recruitment. seems like he isn't changing alignments, he gets to be mafia. So a town traitor who gets shot or whatever else gets to be mafia and a mafia traitor who gets shot or whatever else gets to be mafia as well (read: nothing changes). However I don't really like the traitor role at all. Sounds a little imba to me. Instant -1town and +1mafia and you know you'll end up being in the mafia team? I don't see a reason why a townie should not want that given the assumption that it's balanced before roles are picked is true. | ||

I could have totally got behind your coin-flipping shenanigans if you were Two-Face, in fact I would have praised you for getting into the role. Take Town Janitor and then never use it, Toad. I loathe no flips. | ||
