Use more energy, Raikaria. I want to feel your lust for lynchmurder.

Is there really a problem with 300+ post D1s aside from the fact it's a pain to read? D1 is almost inevitably always the "longest" day anyway, both in part because it has the full player list on hand and that it takes quite a bit of content to establish the general pace of the game and how everyone has chosen to go about things in that particular game (I frequently play with different tones and playstyles, for instance, but it takes time to make it obvious how I've decided to play).

D1 is a good establishing point, and it's probable that there will be A LOT of of additional content in choosing the first lynch anyway, as most times it is messy business trying to root out the scummiest player of the lot (and every other day will be established on the following deaths as well, cutting out a bit more chaos)

I think it's ridiculous to try and curb the post count D1 anyway, since it can screw over late arrivals, and shorter D1s just make it more hectic, and can even make the post count even higher.

400 words isn't a lot. If it subtly makes people post like 1000 words per day then I guess that's a problem, but I made it clear in the rules that it shouldn't be affecting your play if you plan on playing, because 400 words isn't a lot.

Like, the point of the rule isn't to produce more content, it's to produce enough content to avoid stuff like "idk man this slot has nothing to it, just mark it as null" which is a fucking travesty. I think it'll be more relevant when it's not D1 btw.

Oh wait that's 300 posts not 300 words. I'm not sure what you're trying to say then.

1.25 word po :3

I think NNR misread the ruleset. It's not a wordcount maximum, it's a wordcount minimum.

NekoNekoRex · « **Reply #455 on:** November 02, 2013, 09:36:05 PM »

Nah, I wasn't talking about BT's ruleset, I mean general attempts to shorten D1 (like making it 48 hours)

Conqueror · « **Reply #456 on:** November 02, 2013, 10:29:33 PM »

D1s that are too long can make the game unreadable for replacements and rereads. Like, I saw a game with a 4198-post day one. That should never happen. >_>

I only have a problem with long D1s insofar that I have a problem with days that drag on too long on any day. The difference between 48 and 72 hours is almost negligible imo, but sometimes the game doesn't really get going until a few days in, so.

A short hectic D1 is better than a protracted low-post-per-unit-time D1 that drags out though. Threadsplosions are A+ for reads.

In conclusion, shrug.

Are you sure that's a rabbit hole you want to go down?

NekoNekoRex · « **Reply #459 on:** November 03, 2013, 12:15:12 AM »

I don't think I plan to actually read it, you know

After D2 ends I basically never give D1 a full re-read and just cherrypick ISOs (and context of posts from ISOs, obviously), vital points (eg wagon context and deadline panic) and interactions between living players and flipped scum. By that point of the game a majority of it is going to be useless chaff.

Sometimes I don't on D2 either.

Fire Emblem: Awakening mafia on mafiascum.
To be fair to the rest of the game 807 of those posts were one person but that's still obscene.

If CF7 doesn't respond to my PMs he'll be replaced in a few hours. NNR?

2) Each day has one lynch. Vote with ##Vote. Remove votes with ##Unvote. The majority vote gets lynched and flipped, thus ending the day.

##Unvote
Vote Serela

15) No Lynch is a legal vote and No Lynch is a legal outcome. No majority means No Lynch. I will not be picky with unvotes so don't expect to win through pedantic stupidity.

ok nevermind

BT · « **Reply #467 on:** November 03, 2013, 03:51:18 PM »

Might need a 2nd in line if NNR doesn't want to claim his spot. <___<

Raikaria · « **Reply #468 on:** November 03, 2013, 04:16:11 PM »

Add me to the list for a second game; Raikaria's Bizzare Mafia

BT · « **Reply #469 on:** November 03, 2013, 04:17:41 PM »

Preeeetty sure you can have one game listed at a time because of demand.

Raikaria · « **Reply #470 on:** November 03, 2013, 05:10:40 PM »

Well nevermind then. I'm a derp.

NekoNekoRex · « **Reply #471 on:** November 03, 2013, 06:39:41 PM »

I can replace whoever

BT · « **Reply #472 on:** November 06, 2013, 09:09:26 AM »

Looking to replace PX.

Mitsuki · « **Reply #473 on:** November 06, 2013, 09:25:59 AM »

This is probably the second worst time of this year and Vhaltz will be angry at me I guess, BUT LET ME REPLACE IN

(Please, send me the PM in an hour and a half or later, I have an exam in an hour and I don't want to think about mafia until it's done)

BT · « **Reply #474 on:** November 09, 2013, 12:44:09 PM »

Looking to replace Mitsuki.

Cheez8 · « **Reply #475 on:** November 09, 2013, 03:35:28 PM »

Best of luck with your living situation, Mitsuki. Here's hoping you find someplace good real soon.

...I don't really know what else to say but I really am concerned for you.

GMOFucker: Makin' GMOs To Fuck 'Em · « **Reply #476 on:** November 09, 2013, 09:57:02 PM »

imo, i think the following votecount is very relevant to current game state:
Shadoweh (6): Sky_Paladin, Validon98, Polaris, NekoNekoRex, Darkninjaabc, Dormio
Kilgamayan (3): Mitsuki, Shadoweh, Cheez8
NekoNekoRex (1): SB
Not Voting (1): Kilgamayan
