My whole point is that it happens and you guys just decided to gang up on me because of it. I would never throw someone else under the bus about it - if that's even a thing because it's not even an issue. It's just that you don't understand how the site works and you can't stop someone from using the features of the site. I can't help the people that don't get it. I know my FEers understand and I love them and I unfortunately do not love the GLBers. I think you're awful. You can smite me for it if you want. I can take it. But let's just get it out in the open.

You sure you can take it? 15 page thread says otherwise. :love:

Curtis @ 28/12/2015 0:03 JC @ 27/12/2015 23:52 Curtis @ 27/12/2015 22:48 No You don't seem to understand that being seen in your PM system =/= having a night action. This is very rarely used to actually catch people doing anything, it's just occasionally something scum or town or whoever will take note of during a game. If you can believe it, there are people on this board who leave the mafia forum and thus use their PM system for many other things, so noticing someone using the PM system can mean very little because there's a big chance that they're using it for things outside of Mafia. It also doesn't distinguish between sending a PM, receiving a PM, reading an old PM, etc It's just another aspect of playing Mafia on a forum over IRL or over Skype or whatever. tldr it's not a big deal one way or the other at all and this seems to be overblown And I completely understand this for the long-time regulars. Sure, you guys do more than play mafia here, and that's awesome. But take my case. I'm only here for the mafia. If I get a VT role, and no need to send a night PM or read a night PM, you would gain extra info by watching and seeing I never visit my PM page. Gaining and using this information seems outside of the normal game play, and really reads like cheating in a small way. Sure, I could go out of my way to visit my PM page each night, and visit a ton of other pages for obfuscation, but that seems like an awful lot of work to just provide a level playing field. The issue is that people use active users list constantly for other things. I use that and active topics to navigate the site, and I'm always in and out of active users list because I'm curious what threads people are reading and all that. Most other people do the same So if/when people are using it regularly and a mafia game is going on, if they see you using the PM system then it'll likely be stuck in their heads if it seems relative to the game, even if they weren't trying to seek out that information at all. There's nothing that can be done about it Also to nitpick your example there's no way to notice that someone DIDN'T use the PM system a single time in 24 hours at all Sounds kind of stalkerish. Another site I play had an issue with a pedophile prying on kids and he got locked up for 15 years. This active user list just makes it easier for scumbags to keep being scum bags.

They allow JC to post from prison?

There's very much a hierarchy here on FE and you're all on the bottom

I've been a bottom bitch for years. :peroy:

Buffy @ 28/12/2015 1:20

I'm sorry but half of you are really dumb and half of you are really jerks.

Why can't it ever be both?

Buffy @ 28/12/2015 1:31

OKAY this is my final point. Maybe. You can see a lot of different things by using different site features but it doesn't necessarily tell you anything. You have to discern and I love mafia games and I mostly just rely on back and forth talk. I'm trying to be nice here. I just think diverting discussion by focusing on silly things is non-productive. I also think I can get my karma back anytime I want - but I wanted to call you fools out because you are all being ridiculous. Sorry. I'm probably not the most diplomatic. But focus on the game if you're still in. And just stop being assholes. lol - I'm so not a diplomat.

You can't stop being white. JC and Ben can't stop being assholes. They just are.

You don't even know me well enough to call me an asshole.

Rob, I do. You're an asshole.

You should do stand up comedy Ahoda

When I want to commit suicide I will give it a go

We need to ban anyone from GLB from entering our forum whilst we figure out what is going on.

We have no choice...We have no choice!

Nobody knows the real me ahoda.

Buffy, I'm done negging you but please stop cheating.

You need to build a wall...

well maybe you should take note of who is watching active users while you send your role PM...

Isn't the solution obvious? Every night phase, you just need to send Buffy a PM filled with whatever your heart desires. That way, when she tracks it, she'll be thrown off by all the PMs, and then get to enjoy all the fun we can dig up for her.

Sounds like a win/win to me.

Christian @ 28/12/2015 1:33

why are you all even talking about the mafia game outside of the mafia game?? Brian, mod-kill everyone please.

Seriously, I didn't see this thread until just now (and still am not caught up all the way).

It's not my job to babysit you guys so I don't give a shit if you hate each other, but I'm pretty sure everyone knows it's against the rules to discuss the game while it's still going. Stop doing so.
