We seem to be running out of actual material to discuss now, so I'm going to leave this open one more day just in case there are any last points, then open the recruitment thread.

That's everything. I'll settle on who is moderating from the people who have sent forward applications when we now roughly how many new players we'll get, at the same time any moderators who want to trial modkills rather than replacements can ask me then.
The only thing on that list that worries me is letting people who haven't been playing into the dead thread. I guess I feel someone who is only spectating could be more inclined to wanna fuck it up for everyone than someone who is all ready involved in the community.

So, I haven't heard back from Karkador or MattyG yet. Not sure if it'll factor into your consideration, but I can easily tone mine down to a more contained game; it's how I originally planned it, actually, so it's not a huge deal to me. Although, the amount of players would be subject to change, possibly bumping it up to 23.
Crab! I'm going to reiterate my suggestion of having a pronoun guide as well. I think it would be a good idea, especially if we have loads of new players next round.
I've been very busy lately, but I do intend to fulfill my commitment. I'm sorry if it's caused some panic.
Exactly what is the timeframe that you want to launch this game? I feel like it took us a month for Matt and I to get our stuff finalized

- Stress time commitment
- Opt-in for non-conventional games
- Make clearer voting procedure
- Ban use of email tags
- Make clear referring to user activity is bad sportsmanship
- Make clear copy-pasteing moderator messages is bad sportsmanship
- Phase shortening at moderator discretion, with a minimum 3/1. However, moderator must inform players how phase shortening will work from the very start rather than just shorten it semi-arbitrarily.
- Ghosting only between time-over and moderator posting results
- Potentially trial mod-killing for replacements
- Pausing game briefly in games that do allow replacements so they can find their feet
- No discussion of game material after the deadline, deadlines more strictly enforced [i.e. if Karkador set a 3:00 PM Wednesday time stamp, then game material should not be discussed after that time-stamp even if he hasn't had time to close the day]
- No spoilers in avatars
- Stick to joint dead thread as far as possible
- Allow dead thread to be available to spectators at request
- Allow dead players the choice between going to the dead thread or being kept blind so they could swap in as a replacement if necessary (I doubt this rule will will ever be used, as we've had a long enough waiting list every game to absorb replacements, but there you go)
- Explain the process of becoming a moderator
- Very basic "how to play guide" - as in, basic strategies not explaining how to vote
- Link to some of the more common roles for people to browse

Bolded for emphasis. To be clear, you mean don't deliberately check for player's activity outside of their actual Mafia game, i.e. I think Timeaisis is a Mafia because I see him posting in Pony GAF all the time, but he can't be bothered to reply to anything in the game. Using their inactivity WITHIN a game should be perfectly normal, i.e. RNH is a sandbagging shitbird who has posted less than the moderator has.

Sorry man, I had to bus you for the good of mankind.
Also, can we petition to have one of the bro's change their name? Absolutbruh and/or Quantumdude.
Edit: Another thought, Crab. Acronym list? Someone was just bringing up lylo and mylo. I just used bus. I feel like I've seen other ones come up as well.

Kind of funny in our first game we had two Bros, and in the second we had two Hobos.
Palmer, you're now a two-times winning, two-times surviving, one-time Best Player which probably gives you the best on-paper record of our players.
Expect a lot of N1 deaths.
On the other hand, everyone knows I'm frequently targeted N1, so I make a great target for investigation and/or protection! Come at me, mafia, so we can out you and kill you immediately afterwards.
But seriously, yes, I realize I'm likely an early target. I look forward to ruling the Dead Thread with an iron first and PM'ing the shit out of the mods.
Listen to Crab future Mafia, kill Palmer not me. I refuse to be Barryd again.
There is no way palmer will make it to Day 2 this time.
There's also no way that anybody ends up liking Darryl in any future game.
So we ended up with:
- One dead thread
- no copy/pasting your role PM (paraphrasing ok, win condition at mod's discretion)
- test to mod kill after Day 3 (maybe)
- immediate mod kill if squidy begins posting
Anything else?

Damn, your right. Two time surviving, too. Wow. I don't know how Palmer pulled that last role of his off, to be quite honest.
you're hot out the fucking gate sherlock
It's alright, he'll just put you on ignore

I was hoping someone might address my softing or soft-claiming.
I assume a soft claim is when you've hinted at something, but haven't outright declared it.
I don't wanna be in Hippie Seaths game.
You've activated my trap card!

That's very clearly a Monster Card, though.
If I get in a Yu-Gi-Oh game I'm going to preface all of my posts with
HEART OF THE CARDS
The trap was for you to reveal you know about Yu-Gi-Oh.
If you can find a me a mod I'd be willing to change it to my typical online username, lol.Sorry man, I had to bus you for the good of mankind.
