Jay said he won't revive the modkill argument but I will.

Let's start modkilling inactives.

Plz.

No. I still don't agree with this at all.

This game would have been much better if Penny, INH and Dom were dead by Day 4.

I do think it's better than leaving a skeleton in the game though.

I hate to do it. Did you see that late replacement I made in Image Mafia? I probably broke the clause I wrote myself to avoid a modkill just to put Jack in the game in the last day.

I advise careful analysis and common sense when doing it. Take your time, look for replacements, try to minimize damage.

But sometimes the game is just so full of zombies you gotta light up a flamethrower and get rid of them. It's life.

The participation scores we had for a time were a good way to deal with it. Though I never saw them in practice, I guess.

They deal with a single person who goes inactive every game. They don't deal with someone who plays 10 games in a row and flakes the 11th one because of real life. But when that happens, we still need to minimize their damage on the game.

Of course. You're mafia. Two for one.

I wish people would stop signing up for games they can't play.

I was busy as hell but at least still managed to post and vote.

I wish people did a lot of things but they don't. Inactivity is part of the game, like it or not.

Also I know I'm mafia but I'm trying to be objective. Even then this two for one would have benefitted the civs imo. It's higher than the normal bad/civ rate, and it only removes vote power from the baddies.

@ Mac

I usually do the opposite thing actually. Don't care about votes, only posts.

One of the best civ players I know likes to not vote on purpose in early days. Not sure if it's a good idea but he swears by it.

But imo the problem with people not posting is that nobody can read them. It turns the game into slot machine.

I agree, but it just doesn't happen. Games get delayed and people get busy before they start. People miscalculate activity. required. Games explode in posts and they can't catch up. They get sick. They get extra work. They stop being active in the site and nobody can find them to ask them to come.

I don't mind P-scores being re-implemented, though. Always thought they were neat.

But yeah I'm modkilling people.

Imo what Jay really lacked here was a Sloonei. Batman just ain't the same without Robin.

Sources say he just got two friends from his home forum to sign in.

At this rate he's gonna beat dunya in recruitment effficiency.

There is so much to be said about just pressuring people for the sake of it and it needed to happen here to get a win.

Imo what happened is that nobody really knows my scum meta here, at least before this game. My previous record for baddie survival was day 3. People had a strong mental image of what civ DDL looks like, and probably no image of bad DDL, except maybe the memory of me easily getting caught. I managed to internalize my civ meta and pour into my posts to at least make people confortable around me. When paranoia started kicking in, it was too late.

I'm probably one of the least often lynched civs in this site. I pretty much only ever get lynched as civ at lylo. People are used to that. I predict this may change after this game as people now have a mental image of a baddie DDL getting away with it.

So yeah next time may not be so easy.
