As you said yes, there is a difference. The notable difference is it is not punishable by the rules unless it's stated so.  I know. And I understand your angle here. But I don't agree that all rule violations should be punished equally. Whatever, I don't really care that much if he gets banned or not.

So, here are my thoughts on compulsive mafia shots:
1. If you have compulsive mafia shots, you as a host need to be prepared for mafia not submitting a shot. 2. If mafia fails to submit a shot, either RNG it or call it a mafia concession or modkill all living mafia, in descending order of how good of an idea these ideas are. RNGing it amongst non-mafia if mafia fail to submit is imo the best way if your setup requires mafia shoot every night. 3. It's important that whatever you do as a host is consistent and clear so players can play the game
HtS has requested no ban for MoosyDoosy. MD has requested a ban for himself. I don't want to overstep any bounds here so I'd like HtS to change the request if appropriate.
On Onegu:
Onegu, you don't deserve any ban list action. You became ill and were unable to play. This is just a thing that happens and should not be punished. You will not be punished for something like that.

Yeah as I was in the midst of all this discussion I'd be likely to modkill/concede for a single Mafia remaining but RNG with multiple left. IDK, some people consider any form of RNG too much host interference but going forward if I make Mafia shoot, I'll be clear how each situation is dealt.

2 After discussion with others on a proper solution, MoosyDoosy, the mafia vigilante, was effectively modkilled for failure to submit a shot in a game that required the scumteam to shoot. I'm not placing in a recommendation for an actual ban, unless there was actual precedent for such by other moderators. Part of my issue here was that I've never encountered a situation where scum failed to submit a shot in a mandatory shot game, so if there's a proper reasoning where someone in the past was penalised for it, then that's the precendent I'll follow.
One issue is that he did not post all night phase in thread or in mafia qt after his remaining teammate died. The instructions to concede were first given 2 cycles prior to this, when two of his teammates were alive, yet up for auto-lynch. It was to be expected to know to shoot and also to properly concede. Additionally, there has been some peripheral discussion of rulebreaking involved that I'll leave up to the experts to expand on if they wish.
3 Onegu replaced out day 2 due to illness, and so, no action necessary.
#2 revised as follows: per modkill requirements, one game ban for failure to submit a mandatory shot.

Alright, if that is fine with everyone, a 1 game ban for MoosyDoosy is approved. Note: MD's last ban was sat out over 6 months ago on August 16, so this is a 1 game ban.

In fact it is inpossible to deter some behavior even when it does- therefore I am starting to think a stricter atmosphere is in order.
Because people like me will always skirt it.
On February 18 2016 21:16 raynpelikoneet wrote: I see your point. My point is that every rule the host puts in their game should be enforced, and the enforcement should be a modkill followed by at least a 1-game ban. Always. Warnings don't do anything, because otherwise the people who have not warned before are being treated differently under same circumstances -- in some situations breaking the rules actually becomes beneficial to your team, and if there is no punishment it's more likely to be abused.
The line of punishments should be the same, regardless of games, or the rule that has been violated.
One example, how can anyone justify yamato's one game ban for failing to vote is in any line with ~7 games after that where ~10 people have failed to vote? yamato's punishment is perfectly reasonable, people telling those other people "there there...next time just remember *pats on head*" is not. If you break the rules, or are incapable of reading them, then get your appropriate punishment or do not play at all. QED kudos rayn

Warning to lightningstrike for outing himself twice and getting mod killed.

I sorta think it's bad precedent to ban moosey here when he was probably going concede anyway.
That's just me I would perhaps say an activity ban would be ok so meh.

MoosyDoosy seemed eager to get banned and talked the host into it, so I'm going with their judgement on this.

I think MD's ban is appropriate.

think of the wifom caused by an rng nk though...

when the decision went down I was really confused, as someone who wants to understand a little more about hosting in general, I picked HTS' brain in the postgame as to why she made the decision she did - she said part of the reason she didn't want to RNG the NK when she discussed it with whoever she consulted was because of the host interference. She said that people would assume scum NKed someone when they really didn't thus creating misleading information for the town. And it wasn't at the time, fully clear in her OP, granted that's her fault and she's learnt from that.
I know she's re-examined what she'll do in the future if she runs another game where mafia have to shoot, that said, IDK on the ban. I read the mafia qt and if I had to put myself in the shoes of one of the mafia, I'd be annoyed there was no communication or at least a change in strategy for Moosy or whoever agrees to go late-game and try and carry for scum. Now I know that's not a bannable offence, but posting during the night AND not submitting an action? That's negligent at best. I could understand if he'd afked for more than say 36 hours, but if I were a scummer, I'd feel that I might have just wasted my time if I was trying to advise someone to play after my death and then they just fucked off. IDK, just my opinion.

Eh, I think the whole situation could have been handled better by everyone involved. I was fine with the initial host request HtS made (no action), but MD requested that he be banned for a game, and HtS complied with his request. Since the driving force behind this is MoosyDoosy, I don't feel like there's a huge use in discussing it.
In general, advice to hosts: Make it clear what happens in your games if scum fail to submit an NK. Either make it so no-shoot is allowed, or specify in the OP that the NK will be RNGed if none is submitted. As long as the rules are clear, things are fine.

If there's one scum left, they will nk someone random to implicate an afk player.
