 Poll Question: Should the list of dead players in mafia games include a spoiler tag with their role information?
Of course, why haven't we been doing this yet?

No, you should all have to dig back through all the days to find it yourselves, you lazy fucks.

Spin's suggestion is not a bad one, I know he suggested it during my last game too. But it's really not that hard to go to the start or end of the day that they died to read their roles. The list does tell you where to find the information. It might not seem like a big deal to add into the list, but it does create more work for the mods.

Don't even get me started on vote counts. :P


Except when someone dies mid-day. It's next to impossible to go back and find those easily.



Not really that hard imo. You just go to the host's posts for that day.


And then you get to a DS game, when he posts like 600 times a day...

What do you mean? Like when you vote you update the lynch count?

yeah but i could see that being kind of a mess like sign up lists. let's brainstorm.


I've thought about that too, but I agree it could turn into a nightmare with people incorrectly updating, leaving other people off the list etc. Or just not doing it. I really hate the search feature on this board, though. It's so slow!


wait you use the sites search for vote counts? the whole point of using ## is so you can use your browsers find it thing. you know ctrl+f opens it, then you type in ## and click the next arrow.

control + F is even worse than FE search :P - It's easier to scroll through the search pages then to do control + F on every single page. Ideally, I like to keep up so I don't have to go back and use search. The search feature itself is fine, it just takes forever to load.

Then DS' player lists should include roles in spoiler tags! :P

Look at the URL up top

Change pp=15 to like pp=300 for a temporary boost in posts per page. Very useful for tallying and searching a huge thread

ur welcome

I propose a suggestion to all the mods out there for current/future mafia games: when you list a player as dead in the 'Player List' post everybody uses, add in a spoiler tag and include their role info, that way it's easy to find and access (if wanted).

People already list the player, their character/role, and the night/day they died, why can't we also include the info about the role? You already post the information in the individual day threads. It's literally one more copy/past action, and would make things so much easier for the players.


Meh, take notes. :P


I play on at least 4 different devices (home computer, work computer, phone, tablet), and there is no way I'm trying to coordinate a notes app across all 4 different OSs.


Better yet, just carry around an actual notebook. Imagine the fun conversations you can have about how you suspect there is a bus driver or why you felt the need to write down how your sock is "scummy" or why you're communicating with the Mafia. Not to mention the extensive notes on possible serial killers.

With some of my games, I just put out a role name, no real description, then watch as people try to figure out what an "Amazon" is supposed to be able to do. Is it a strong woman who can kill? Is it an internet company that delivers shit to people's doors two days later? Nobody knows!
