And back to the real main topic of this thread (while we wait...) ANOTHER overused, misleading thing... "Hey I saw GhugBomb2015 online... and he didn't post... he must be scum!" Stop it. Just stop it.

This occurred to me when we migrated forums, and the concern about dead +1ing is what got me at the time.

The only malicious cheating we've had in mafia on this site was a dead player +1ing posts, and rooting it out took significant admin time. I'd love to receive +1s for my consistent in-game hilarity just as much as the next guy, but it's a can of worms not worth opening.

As counterpoint, in that terrible game where dumb Durga and all the scum led a mob on me and Fox because we were missing a roleblock, I confirmed Ezio's scum status by noting that he was reading the thread at EoD and not saying anything.

You had a typo, but I fixed it.

And here was I thinking we should build something to keep track of when people are online. e.g.:

"We just lynched GhugBomb2015 and he/she rolled scum. FooBar1999 was online at night at similar times to GhugBomb2015. He/she must be scum!"

:P

@ghug or Bo

Can you lock this thread in an hour and a half (3 PM Central)? I'll start sending out Role PM's at that point :-D

What does two people being online at the same time have to do with their scum status? Also, I will very often skim through messages during my workday and so my mobile browser is on this site all day even when I'm not staying current. You can read into people being online however you want, but at the end of the day, it's not an effective way to scumhunt.

Dang it, you just unvoted me. I couldn't remember if mods could lock threads, but I know admins can. It was not meant as a slight :P

It's getting scary to see a lot of posts.
I have a program tomorrow early and probably won't play today and tomorrow until afternoon. This happens every game :-D

I really don't think we have enough rules or restrictions. Could I suggest a new rule:

Rule 12

At no time for any reason should the letter "q" be used in any game posts.

Can I query why you would seek to sequester the queen of useless letters? Seem like nothing to quibble about...

I think im just gonna lurk until final 5 min of day 1. And get lynched for lurking. Just so we can prove that no matter what strategy I use, people will always talk about me in excess
