You're exactly right. Please be careful to make the distinction clear. It hasn't been clear to everyone. Thanks and enjoy. :tup:

That's retarded =/= You're retarded.

Jesus christ, not only is this stupid, but you're actually interfering with gameplay. Go you.
I made it clear that I wasn't playing the game. I also made it clear that you should make it clear that you're not insulting a fellow member with your remarks. I did so at the request of a member who felt that your remarks were, at least, ambiguous. I repeat my request that you make it clearer in your future posts. Again, I hope you enjoy the game. :tup:


And again, I'm only blue here to make it clear that I'm not playing the game, but acting as a mod.

Suggestion: take the game thread moderation discussion out of the game thread. This thread would be a good place for it. So would PMs.

Can someone get FBM out of here?

FBM we are playing a game where everything goes... vocabulary and attitude are part of gameplay. This thread is for players only, if you have any comments use the peanut gallery.

Best of luck with that. At best it'll be ignored, at worst... we have an interesting sense of humour here.

Great, we've got further outside spoiling of gameplay. Good going, guy.

Look, we can go over this a thousand times. There's a diffrence between criticizing a person and criticizing what a person does. Whether you think the word I used is a bit harsh is basically meaningless. I didn't criticize anyone as a person. If you want to draw the connection that a person who has done a retarded thing is themselves retarded, that's your own lookout, but it's your problem, not mine.

Part of mafia is that you use language to convince people into doing what you want them to do, or to pressure them into giving you information about their role. By harshly criticizing Don't Panic's gameplay (and note, I didn't criticize Don't Panic, I criticized his gameplay), I was trying to do both. I wanted Don't Panic to get with the program and participate more, because increased levels of participation are good for town, and I wanted Don't Panic to struggle a little and in doing so tell me something about his alignment. Or, perhaps, I wanted to give the appearance that I was doing that, while setting him up for a lynch. However, that pressure is part of the game and I was very careful to attack the gameplay, not the person. That was pretty tame language there.

And now I'm going to get criticism for posting gameplay in the peanut gallery. You can never win these things.

FBM was not interfering in the game. This place is not TR (thank goodness) so just get over it and suck up the friendly advice, 'k?

just to make it clear... there is no post editing in mafia, especially by outsiders. if you guys want to enforce forum rules you will need to vote out any offenders because i will not have my game thread maimed like that.
