EPTTo the last bit, no you should not. To be perfectly honest I would not put much weigh on his arguments based on what i have seen and how he has acted before.

EDIT: I really didn't think it like that because to me it doesn't matter, maybe for some ppl it does.  | ||

Changing the rules like this makes it more "official" and "accepted" for players, who might be unhappy with this if it were just brought in by some hosts. At least I as host feel more empowered to actually moderate more heavily and not suffer the backlash of being a "nazi mod/fascist host or whatever" for trying to keep games civil Do you really think there would be people protesting if you moderated bad behaviour right now? If so then THAT is the problem - not the rules. Because if you put it in your OP that behaviour will be moderated strictly then noone has the right to go against that and I am pretty sure that noone will. | ||

I don't think so. Why don't you try and see if that is the case before changing the rules? And if you feel confident enough to do your job like you should after this discussion then fine - this thread did its job. But the rulechange still is not needed and should not be made. | ||

The last two banlist drama's have nothing to do with this and you should not be "afraid" of you doing something turning into another one. Also reasonble people join reasonable people's games. There is no way you can please everyone (for real). You just have to choose what you do and what you do not do regarding that. Please do not be afraid to enforce something in your games, some people will always disagree for some reason. Hosting games is what keeps mafia alive because without hosts there are no games. | ||

Just saying "don't be afraid of backlash" is easy for someone like you or me who fears no-one. If a host, especially a new or inexperienced host, can point to official TL Mafia rules, then s/he will feel safer meting out punishment. | ||

Just saying "don't be afraid of backlash" or "crack down on bad behavior" doesn't work, and hasn't worked for the past 6 months. | ||

Your last paragraph is just total bs. There already are rules against bad behaviour and host can refer to them as well as they could refer to the new ones. | ||
