Sounds like bad at mafia needs a sister quiet at mafia.

The larger issue I've seen is that the rapid fire mutiposting style turns into pages of nothing. Hell, back in my day 'white-noise' was a legitimate scum tactic. Because it snowballs and then people stop reading for nuance in favor of speed.

And Fate was many things, but never that. There is a marked difference between the multiposts and active posting - usually it was actualy fairly easy to tell alignment when a fate-tirade started.

But the post speed, extra meta push and overall increase in acidity are definitely some of why i stopped.

I think wall is being exaggerated some.

I've seen games lately where your above post would be considered a 'wall' and be the longest post for dozens of pages (which would be only an hour or two realtime).

Compare that against a lot of the verbose players back in the day and your post wouldnt even be considered a post - just filler because no way could something that small be a case.

I think theres also an obvious difference between 'someone once every few days posts a handful of back to back catchup posts' and 'this shitposting machine havent brakes and antimidases everything it touches 24/7'.

Theres a fine medium in there somewhere to be had but even identified the more games i read the more confident i am people wouldnt want it.

Right. Take time to think and respond.

I do like the no holds barred deadline/twilight time as well. The dichotomy makes for an interesting phase gamewise
