Not voting is just as much of a condemnation as anything else at this point, since the mafia pretending to be away would allow them to slant the vote to 2:1.

Post Game Discussion will follow this post.

I will be the first to admit this game had a lot of problems, and a lot of that was my fault. We had a lot of issues with participation, and I think my lax way of switching day/night might be making that worse. Voting/tiebreakers shouldn't be how they are, Maf should be guaranteed to win if they are half the population. Partway through this game I learned that mafiascum (where I am getting the game setups) reveals specific roles instead of colors, this obviously has a huge impact on balance so hopefully future games will be a bit more fair.

As one of the mafia, the end sorta felt... off.

Anyway, I only made two picks I think over the course of the thing, RedMage (sorry) and Supershroom near the end.

As a note, Volt has been gone for a week, so that's why he didn't respond.

Yeah this just kinda happened.

I think "the prob" was the lack of roles. Made it hard to discuss anything without rampant speculation as we only had one potential source of info. Also I deffo did not suspect either of the mafia so good job guys :0

Honestly, I kind of felt bad with how it all ended as well. I kept trying to push for discussion and it just wasn't happening. I don't know if people were busy or uninterested or what, but I think it was clear that the game died before the town did.

The town was really unlucky as well. With RMS dying n1 then only having a tracker vs ninja essentially meant it was regular townies vs 2 maf.

Do you guys think a more strict schedule for cycles would help people participate more? or should I keep doing it the way I've been?

It definitely didn't help that Volt randomly disappeared for the last week. I'd say there should be a rule for people who go afk for long stretches for some reason.

There is, it's stated in the signup thread. If your going to be gone you are supposed to post saying so and when you will return. Volt will not be playing in the next game because of this.

I think from now on every person should be required to make a post every day, and maybe even beyond that everyone must vote every single day.

Yea, that is basically what I'm talking about. I think Ill put a hard limit of either 24-48 hours.

I think requiring to post is fair, I don't like the idea of requiring to vote but I'll think about it. The way I handled votes last game wasn't great so I'm trying to think up something better.

I apologize to all for my month-plus absence from the board, and as a consequence flaking out from this game. That the issue was a real life one is not an excuse; I should have at least tried to alert folks here to the issue, which I failed to do.

I understand I'm not to participate in the next game and frankly don't expect to participate in one of these games in the future anyway. I used to enjoy them on another forum but stopped playing there (and visiting that forum) after a while... and trying this again proved my heart just wasn't in it.

Again, my apologies to all.
