And yet, I haven't done this myself. I'm a little proud of myself.
A Cthulhu game without at least eight deaths per night is considered a dull affair. It is known.

Less than two hours remain before the Cthulhu game resumes. Spooky.
First mafia game to end before day 2? 22 deaths during night 1 phase.
Aw man, I'm out for lunch with my coworkers so I'm gonna miss the start of Cthulhu day 2. I'll see if I can at least refresh and make sure I wasn't killed when it updates
In that case.
In that case.
I'll keep this in mind. Look forward to the beginning of Cthulhu day 2!

Zatoth better not be late, I'm holding off my lunch break to see results so I can post from a computer and not my phone.
If someone modkills him then he will have plenty of time to update it. Just saying.

Eh. They got a cultist, that's a good night.
R.I.P. Scum! Remember other games may need replacements if you don't want to jump into the dead thread right away.
...hooray for small miracles?
You are so in-character for Mallory. It's a thing of beauty.

Put me on the replacement list. I'll lurk the Cthulhu thread.
Aw man I knew it in my gut. I think I played decently enough at least...
Is there anyone over at the dead thread already? Guess I'll join them if so. EDIT: Unless there is any urgent need for replacements, in which case I'll volunteer to keep the games active.
Ah well. Looking forward to season 3! Maybe I'll work on my Doctor Who flavor proposal in the meantime

Season 4! We already have Season 3.
In case you missed it. This was the game of Season 1 that started it all.
Oh yeah, sorry. I was still in shock from my recent death so I didn't bother checking the correct number.

I may need one if TheAwesomePossum or Kristoffer don't get back to me in a day or two.

Shoo you stupid cat. Those rabid raccoons didn't want you, neither do we.

Lol Cthulhu, I love being in on the back end...
In that case hold off on sending me that PM, Zatoth. Maybe I'll wait a couple of weeks just to make sure no replacements will be needed and then ask for a link.
I can play two roles, boss. I'm ready for it.
Nice final message over in the Cthulhu thread!
Okay. Just tell me or the other mods if you change your mind.

I have a general Mafia question. Are Mafia allowed to PM each other during the day phase, or is that generally frowned down upon?
Mafia has their own thread where they can talk.
EDIT: Oh, just realized who that was. Can you sub in?
They have their own message board to discuss their moves.
Depending on the rules they may only be allowed to discuss the game during night phase.
But in our three games they can discuss day and night.
I think it's completely legitimate to point out whether someone posts very little. We're not talking about actual data analysis or analyzing posting patterns, let alone using data from previous games to build some neural network, but just about whether or not someone has been very active in a longer time span, in my case ca. twenty-four hours.
Mafia is a game that requires player participation. There are many good reasons not to post much, real life always must come first. That said, it can also be used to fly under the radar, thus I consider counting posts helpful to find potential suspects and useful to start a discussion. Might as well ban looking at previous posts.
I understand that post counting can be problematic, but I don't think it should be banned *per se*.
What theme will you choose? Probably Kindergarten Cop. So even more children can be punished.
I really can't comment on my reasoning too much, but generally speaking, it's a sucky and desperate tactic, IMO.
The problem with gauging anything by player post counts is that you are going to have people who post way more than others, and it skews the entire perception of what "a normal range of posting" should be. The rules we've been using obligate people to post once per day phase. That's once every four days or so. In other words, we're looking at the acceptable baseline of posts for these games right now being, what...2 posts? That's a lot less than what people are being called out for.
Of course, it's good if people participate more than that, but we're seeing the overall post counts in these games creep up each gen (creep is an understatement). I'd say we're easily going to reach 3x the posts in these games as the first game, and yet I don't feel like that first game was lacking in posts or discussion.
Post frequency doesn't mean much. There might be more substance to the posts of someone with 1/4 the posts of the top posters. Aside from people being busy, there might be different motivations for why someone would want to deliberately stay quiet - it's not always good or bad. People can reason it either way, so it's a not a clear indicator.
It's just clumsy, meta-game reasoning. I believe one of the reasons we've been having chaotic occurrences in our games is because people are putting more value on talking any amount of shit over maintaining a measured silence.
