What annoys you in mafia posts RULESET PAGE 2

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Tue Sep 12, 2017 5:11 am

Post by Thestatusquo »

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."

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.

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?

No, it can be a single post that is clearly only following an internal train of thought rather than being structured for comprehensibility.

To amend this, any RVS-based argument that goes past the, let's say, 5th page.

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.

You seem to have mistaken this for some other thread in which your post would have been topical. I can only wish you all the best in finding it.

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.

Is it this specifically, or just lame quips about alignment in general?

Something like "Nice to see you helping out your scumbuddy"?

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 annoyed

Do policy lynched actually ever happen? I don't think I've ever actually witnessed one in a game I was in, and I've played a lot of mafia.

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

all self-voters should die fast, always

- Usage of VCA (because scum really cares how distributed they are)

- Completely locking someone as town because of an interaction with scum (because scum can't reply to themselves after all)

- Claiming without ever being pressured obviously

- "I don't use meta" aka "I have no idea how town and scum plays after all"

- Inflexible reads
