Forceful_Dragon 05/13/25 8:09:56 PM #12:	How feasible would it be for someone to run an anonymous game? Someone could create a batch of accounts with some sort of naming theme get a few karma on them and then distribute the accounts when the roles go out. The benefits would be two-fold. The accounts would be stuck on 50/75/100 posts per 24 hours (or whatever the limit is) and we wouldn't spend as much time trying to solve the game based upon individual player quirks or getting hung up on our past experiences with specific players.

EDumey 05/25/25 3:12:27 PM #39:	Maybe it's because I've only really played B8 mafia, but I don't super understand how post limit games work. Like, sure there's less back and forth fluff to read through, but that just means there's even less activity, when activity is frequently a thing we struggle with. Like, having post limits doesn't guarantee higher post quality. So less active people that struggle to post because they don't have a lot of thoughts on the game or strong reads are still gonna struggle to post because they don't have strong reads. I'm down to try a game with heavy post limits just to see how it turns out though. --- my links broke. :( <cite>EDumey posted [p:985187377] in Is Mafia D...

Inactivity is a different thing which has no real solution. I also just don't at all understand inactivity due to lack of thoughts. That's just impossible. I understand fear of posting something "wrong" but after your 2nd or 3rd game you should really be over that. --- _foolmo_ he says listen to my story this maybe are last chance <cite>foolm0r0n posted [p:985187982] in Is Mafia D...

I understand fear of posting something "wrong" but after your 2nd or 3rd game you should really be over that. Post limits really mess with certain player's ability to process because they're used to making points and realizations in sequences instead of walls. The bigger issue isn't post ceilings. It's the arbitrary post floors that often accompanies them. For example, Mafiascum has a 10 posts a day floor. Virtually every game there, 1/3 of the playerbase posts 10-15 times a day and almost none of it is content. The rules consider them "Active", even though they're not actually doing anything meaningful. Example: There's a specific player named Not_Mafia who's been there for years and almost never content posts in any game he ever joins. His very existence just boils down to when town finally decides enough is enough and votes him off. But as far as their rules go, he is an "Active and contributing member" in every game he joins, even if nearly every post he ever makes is deliberately posted to interrupt or derail the game. The other people who sit around doing nothing all game? "Active and contributing member". It's awful. --- Never underestimate the power of stupidity in numbers. ~War13104 Never stoop to the level of idiots.

Inactivity is a different thing which has no real solution.I also just don't at all understand inactivity due to lack of thoughts. That's just impossible. I understand fear of posting something "wrong" but after your 2nd or 3rd game you should really be over that.</quote>Post limits really mess with certain player's ability to process because they're used to making points and realizations in sequences instead of walls.The bigger issue isn't post ceilings. It's the arbitrary post floors that often accompanies them. For example, Mafiascum has a 10 posts a day floor. Virtually every game there, 1/3 of the playerbase posts 10-15 times a day and almost none of it is content.

foolm0r0n 06/02/25 12:59:39 PM #43:	Yeah I don't think the rules can fix bad players, the host and community should handle that. But given a less active community, you do have to scrape the bottom of the barrel and take what you can get. In that case, it's possible that rules could prevent some of the worst play. I haven't seen it work myself but I get the idea. --- _foolmo_ he says listen to my story this maybe are last chance <cite>foolm0r0n posted [p:985276194] in Is Mafia D...

Meow1000 06/02/25 1:16:23 PM #44:	It's also related to a lesser extent the same problem MU has where some concurrent games have crossover. My experience with MU is it's common to find the same players in 4 games at the same time and inactive in all of them. --- Never underestimate the power of stupidity in numbers. ~War13104 Never stoop to the level of idiots.

I like to think they at least partially contributed to everyone chilling. My only issue was the balancing but I already told you some suggestions and it's also not super relevant if you're not going to be hosting much --- No problem!
