Chill KTS lol

I don’t think MS needs to adapt in terms of the deadline but I wouldn’t mind it shortened to 10 days.

specific queues could be shortened rather than everything. some people prefer different hours, but as it stands, it's very one sided.

There is no real argument for shortened days.

If you want a lynch in 4 days you lynch someone in 4 days.

what kind of lopsided argument is that

have you ever been in a game where someone wants to lynch someone immediately, and another person goes "we must use all of our game days!." people play differently, but some like having the shortened deadlines because it keeps things simple and within their level of time. keeping it 2 weeks bc "i like it!!" is selfish

One day you'll learn that having time is better than not having time.

once again, for like the third time, mods can run games with short deadlines in the currently constructed queues. The fact that they don't suggests either you need to ask for them, or there isn't enough demand.

Sure!

You're projecting the fact that you can't try to be unbiased about this onto me.

Using time for the sake of time isn't as common as I remember it being.

oh yeah that sounds good. then just make some shorter games and have certain posting requirements on your longer games. that sounds good to me. making certain posting requirements on long games will create demand for shorter games.

usually when ive seen someone push for an early lynch the time argument is brought up.

At least one player suggested that a legitimate play would be to not read the thread and just try to post, interacting with people in real time.
This is a pro-strat.
A scum player posted something that should have been in the scum PT out into the actual game thread, and requested mod intervention due to it. The mod did not intervene. They were not lynched.
This is fucking hilarious can you link to it.

That's beautiful.

I cross QT posted once in team mafia a few years back when I had like 4 or 5 of them to juggle and it was similarily hilarious.

hey, this was me. i don't want to get into any of these big arguments but in the interest of objectivity the game's incredibly low activity had benefits and detriments. while it may have made the game easier to review there's nothing to say a larger game would have been any harder to solve (more posts to analyze, as it was the scum player probably had less than 20 posts) and i probably found the game less enjoyable than if it were at least slightly more active.
