I'd love to have you in this game, boxerfred, but it looks like you were recently modkilled for inactivity in another game, and the host of that game is ordering standard ban list action against you. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/427933-tl-mafia-ban-list-20?page=128#2553

I'll give you a quick rundown of the hows and whys of the TL Mafia Ban List.

Typically the way these things work is that, Mafia games rely really strongly on people ONLY signing up if they have enough time to play. If 20% of people signed up without time to play for the next however many days, games would be utterly ruined. Heck, this would happen even if 10% of people signed up without time to play. It takes a big commitment to play a Mafia game: a 13 player game can take nearly 3 weeks, and you need to be able to post at least once a day, ideally more, during that time.

This only gets worse when players overextend themselves and sign up for multiple games at once, for example, and are unable to actually play. A single person being busy for 48 hours and not being able to play (say, they miss all of Day 2 and make zero posts) can ruin a game for 10 people. So, in order to discourage inactivity, as stated in all the OPs, if you force the host to modkill you for inactivity (usually for failure to vote or post during a 48-hour day), you will be forced to "sit out" a game. What this means is, you are not allowed to sign up for games, but instead sign up to "/sitout" a game. This means you may observe the game, but not play. Once that game is complete, you may "/in" for games again.

It's no fun to be forced to /sitout a game, but that's in part the point. If you sign up for games, then don't play and get modkilled, you ruin a like 2-week game that 10+ people are playing, so having to wait a bit before your next game is a fair price to pay, and may remind you to be respectful of other people's time, or better about planning when you can and cannot play.

I won't be adding you to the sign-up list.
