For a mini, between 500 and 1500 depending on the spamminess of the player list.

Why would one of you get banned from the site ? p: Should it ever happen, I think you usually get banned by account name and not via IP unless there is a reason to IP ban you so it shouldn't matter.

You can't!
I mean, you can open multiple tabs then copy the code into one single post, but there is no easy way to do it.

We do have "filter" button though under every post which allows you to view said player's posts in the game in a threaded mode. That's way superior to any ISO-system on any other site i have ever seen.

I think we don't have multiquotes since TL wasn't developed for playing mafia. I personally don't even like multiquotes since it makes posts harder to read and often people intentionally/unintentionally take the quotes out of context making them basically useless. Ofc that's just a preference thing in the end. I think another way is to copy the links for the posts and make a post where you give your analysis of said posts, then people can themselves follow the links and see if they agree with you or not. Imo it makes your post easier to read and follow and regardless if you have quoted the post you are referring to, people should anyways ALWAYS check the post in context. Everything can be scummy or not depending on the context.

I have never played on Mafiascum because i dislike the boringness of a week long dayphases. I have seen/visited the site though. It prolly has more "features" that TL does, not gonna argue about that. Well i actually looked at their filter system and i don't really understand what's superior to TL's in that.. I find it harder to use than having a filter button in every post.

On the appearance I myself find this design best to my eyes, some places (including Mafiascum) hurt my eyes after reading for some time, idk if it's the contrast of bg/text or white text or what... But that is 100% a preference thing and most places allow changing the UI anyways. I also never have avatars showing on any site (or signatures, if they allow anything but text), they are distracting.

..There's another starcraft site that does mafia?? We should merge.

Yeah it is. We hardly ever have Instant majority lynch though, almost all the games are with a fixed deadline time and plurality (or deadline majority) lynch.

Yeah there are arguments to made for all of those and it's again a preference thing. IML is probably the "worst" in a sense that people can make less arguments about the votes than in other methods.

FYI requests are cool and esp if you have a specific aim, but considering rayn is a listed town coach if you roll scum, you will get whoever the scum coach is. (That said, he is a good coach otherwise in spite of what he says about his English language ability xD.)

Filter debates aside I've debated trying out mafiascum because of my work schedule (48h cycles are not sustainable for me anymore, if a random business trip pops up, I'm canned) - are all games an entire week for a dayphase or can they vary between 4-7 days?

I know replacements are oftentimes because the game just goes quite long and if you have a 4-day game where town loses in m13 after 4 MLs, that equates to games taking a month long assuming 6-7 day long dayphases.

I'd say the key things here are the 48h dayphases (and 24h nights), plurality lynch (most people here hate majority, I can handle deadline majority, all it means is that towns need to work together better - but IML is a joke because of timezones most of the time), forum layout and to some extent the mechanics.

As for community, most people here are civil. Some aren't and thankfully they are dealt with accordingly/debated for punishment post-game. With respect to gameplay, I'd say MOST newbie games are slower paced, but non-newbies, depending on the signups can be spammy. Some players post way more than others and in certain threads, it has been mentioned that the 48h cycles have a lot to do with this attribute given the types of players this type of cycle would draw.

Also TL in general is first and foremost a gaming community, so many people here will also game with each other outside of forum mafia, including members "retired" from TL mafia. I play a lot of Dota 2 and a few things else with others, but others here play overwatch, sc2, league, hearthstone and a host of other games on the TL discord channel.
