Inactivity *is* a very serious problem. You had, what, *70 people*? Even at half that number you would have had an extremely large volume of posts. Someone coming to the game late and *giving up* is a definition of inactive towny and yet another reason why large games are a pain. In general, inactive town is far more harmful to town than inactive scum is harmful to scum *if* both sides are inactive in roughly equal measure.

Honestly the inactivity situation was a small problem, but even with the amount of people who decided not to play wouldn't have made it an auto-lose. The problem was no one trusted anyone and we couldn't make decisions as a town. The second someone said something the other person would come back with some part of a clue that might have 1% relevance. If you're a townie you should remain calm and try to work on something without outting the person that outted you. It was annoying to see that every single round and we got so frazzled we voted for the person who "wasn't the nicest" (Hence why we fucking lynched our mayor WTF was that?!)

No. You simply don't know what you're talking about as well as we do. (this is at all the complainers of inactivity, not just Tracil) The main point of townie balance is the mafia hit balance vs # of townies. As in, cannon fodder townies work perfectly in sync with the balance. The town will always have many more voters than the mafia during the day unless the inactivity includes almost all the players -- all the inactive townies aren't needed to get the town to lynch who they want, the active ones just need to not suck. Also, in all legitimate games of mafia chuiu or I have ever been a part of, a mafia has not been elected pardoner or mayor, so the town has that additional advantage also. Your inactive townie vs inactive mafia argument only almost works because all it takes is one good mafia to run all the teams hits, however, if 90% of mafia were inactive and 90% of townies, the townies would still have the same proportion in voting advantage. A vote turnout on any day of 50% or more is strong activity and more than fair for the townies. Trust me.

If a player signs up for 2 games and is inactive and both then he would warrant a ban of at least 1 game, and that would be fine. After we have a couple more games and get a better sense of active and inactive players the rule can be changed to 1 inactive game = 1/2 game ban.

Okay, I killed nobody.

Just as well, because I checked the people on my suspicious list and they were like all townies.

Thoughts on the game -

I think I was just completely overwhelmed by the amount of posting. Way early I was inclined to do a brief post-by-post analysis, and later on I decided I was going to make a list of all players and take notes on them while reading the thread. I started diligently going down the list and making preliminary marks and there were so many damned people that I never bothered to finish alphabetizing the list. If I had taken five seconds on every post it would have taken hours. Combined with the fact it's hard to mentally keep track of people I never ended up doing anything. I don't think I read half the thread.

So in general, I was a useless, lazy bitchy townie.

Also, since the game's over. Can the mafia please elaborate how they killed the 2 vigilantes? Pure dumb luck? Or was there some elaborate plan set up to get the vigilantes to reveal themselves to you?
