Spam spam spam (Day 1 Spam)

Not the kind with cardstock and pawns. Mostly play by post Mafia so far.

Thanks Alicorn <3

I also think it's probably okay for us to keep posting in the meantime. We know about the problem because we're looking really closely and trying not be suspicious but out there they're all still wondering how to get the game started.

I can't find the setting (neither apparently can the person who asked the original question).

Still can't find it. My install is out of date, so I'm going to try upgrading. Deltabeta will do that for me come nightfall. Cross your fingers till then.

Fingers crossed! I don't think it's a thing anyone would notice anytime soon, though.

So 6/19 players are Mafia. Is this around the usual ratio? Last game it was 3/20, so heuristically we'd expect to do better than last game provided we can deal with our traitor quickly, right?

Usual ratio is about 25-33% so this seems about right! Even though they have a higher chance of picking us by blind chance than last time, they have to get more of us to win, and we have more heads to put together and strategise together. And last game you guys couldn't even work together so the game was really skewed in favour of the town.

This forum is about to hit 1% of the total posts on the forum, 3 hours after it was opened. Guesses on how big it'll be when the game ends?

Over 10%, more than the first mafia game. We have more incentive to talk and we have more things to talk about. Since we have more information, and no fear of sharing it.

It would be better for the town if they would share freely too, but they won't. they're too suspicious of each other. I don't mean they should massroleclaim -- if they do, we can just pick them off easily. but they should share their suspicions with each other and talk to each other, even though we're listening. they should be hunting us. but they're not. they're still talking about RNGs :D
