I don't like the idea of a full PM game, I think those games often turn to boring for most people involved. I don't think silent nights will do much, we will still have 100+ pages day1. The 40 posts a cycle seems a little strict though, maybe 60 or 80?
We did discuss silent nights before, checked some anecdotal evidence.

The point being that it cuts maybe 20% of the posts out of the game, and also gives everyone 24 hour breaks that are really nice to have.
Also, rayn is banned, so that's another 20%

I'm not arguing it btw, I don't particularly care, I'm fine with a posting restriction. Only reason I bring it up is Ver asked for input and I feel silent nights is a really good mechanic to reduce the strain of posting.
Also the 24 hours off is a good time to either just fuck off and do something other than mafia, or to read whatever you may not have been able to keep up with during the day.

Feel free to suggest any ideas for limiting spam without restricting play overly much.
Some other options are:
1) Full PM's (doubt it)
2) 2 Person PM's (like Sicilian) + PM roles
3) Larger Day 1 post count limit, lower night post count.
4) Silent nights (this might be boring/restrictive?)
another twist you might try is imposing the post restriction on D1 starting from zero at one of 12 or 24 hrs(12 would be enough IMO, but prolly 24 is better as its a global game). Normally all posts in the start of D1 are a bit empty headed but someone has to post something. making townies tradeoff between posting in the random bullshit part of the day to get it going and wasting posts they could use later to get something productive done/lynched, and conversely allowing scum to hide there early D1 by burning all/many of theirs may have unintended consequences on play styles.
letting the game >start< naturally, but then not get bogged down in long meanderings might be whats being looked for.
D2 and onwards the restriction is for the whole days posts.
Also that feels about right as I think extra posts are naturally made and are useful D1.
Dunno how that would pan out.
Best plan I know to limit spam yet still play mafia is to have people that neither want to post spam nor read it.

I'm /in for this if you don't have enough of a turn-out from vets.

/in hopefully this starts after catastrophe
|
Also I will /out if pms become involved, just not my cup of tea

Like, I think we should really try an actual post limit game and not do the Sicilian thing again

Welcome to the mafia forums!
We strongly recommend that new players like yourself start off in a newbie game to become familiar with how the game works. Promethelax is hosting the current game, which you may sign up for here.

I actually thought post donating was cool. Getting to see who the lurky players want talking more makes for a pretty interesting dynamic.
