What annoys you in mafia posts RULESET PAGE 2
I'm designing a game, and in the course of designing this game I'd like to get an idea of what are annoying things players do in posts as well as in games in general.
Please list the things that players do in posts that absolutely annoy the crap out of you as well as the things that players do in game (not necessarily related to one post) that do the same thing.
Try to keep this discussion strategy neutral. If a certain rhetorical tic gets you, feel free to post it, but I'm trying to not get a list of "I don't like when people attack me lol."Last edited by Thestatusquo on Thu Sep 14, 2017 8:45 am, edited 1 time in total.tout comprendre c'est tout pardonner- Thestatusquo

Self-inflicted post restrictions.
Paragraphs with more than six lines on a 1200x800 screen.
Extended chit chat.
Any RVS-based argument.
Dismissing effort as scummy.
Active lurking.
Stream of thought posting.Last edited by Korts on Tue Sep 12, 2017 5:35 am, edited 1 time in total.scumchat never die- Thestatusquo

My running list:
Posts that contain no game content.
Posts that personally attack someone rather than addressing their arguments.
Logical fallacy in general.
References to self meta
Refusing to acknowledge when you're wrong.
Posting at a rate way higher than the rest of the players in the game.
Posting at a rate way lower than the rest of the players in the game.
Setup speculation.
References to your on site reputation as reason you are right.
Dismissing arguments because they are inconvenient to you.
Focusing on one player while ignoring literally everything else.tout comprendre c'est tout pardonner- Thestatusquo

No, it can be a single post that is clearly only following an internal train of thought rather than being structured for comprehensibility.In post 5, Thestatusquo wrote:Korts is your stream of thought posting bullet point similar to chambers "posting more than 3 times in a row?"
And if not what differentiates them for you?scumchat never die- Thestatusquo

long deadlines are annoying.Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I refuse to respect anyone who says "sorry you rolled scum"
edit: I doubt thats relevant to your game but I wanted to get the chance to complain about it
edit: I also dislike it when people quote a whole big post, and then respond to one specific part of the post. Just quote the part you're responding to.Last edited by Errantparabola on Tue Sep 12, 2017 10:09 am, edited 1 time in total.did another ms user do something lovely? recognize their achievements here!

Is it this specifically, or just lame quips about alignment in general?In post 11, Errantparabola wrote:I refuse to respect anyone who says "sorry you rolled scum"

It's really that specifically. I know it's often not the intention but it really really comes off to me as arrogant and condescending and it makes me annoyeddid another ms user do something lovely? recognize their achievements here!

I hate that so much bro.

people who replace into games but then refuse to read the game
deadlines - 14 days is too long unless the game is 16players or more, and they should scale down as there become fewer players
agree with EP, can't stand when ppl say "sorry you rolled scum"
people who post a series of votecounts with barely any commentary, like we're supposed to be able to read their mind about what they're seeing
people who tell the mod how to do their job: asking for prods, etc. focus on playing, let the mod handle the moderation, if a mod makes a mistake politely inform them, don't condescend them
people who claim before L-1
people who sign up for a game and then replace out because they don't like their role/alignment (you shouldn't be playing mafia if this is the case)
people who go on V/LA for more than 3 days (just replace out) and people who use V/LA as an excuse to reduce their participation without it being scrutinized
