Eben Etzebeth @ 27/12/2015 23:37 Nobody answered my question- does the reputation gain you anything? Yeah, at the end of the year the Admin staff does a site Christmas present where we'll give 50 cents for each rep you have. So someone with 100 rep gets $50. We've been doing it for a few years now

Does this come via check in the mail, or via paypal? I need to make sure I have the proper address listed to make sure I get my $20.

JC @ 27/12/2015 23:41 Buffy @ 27/12/2015 22:38 DO it! Just get smart and protect yourself. Mafia uses it all the time to see if people are sending in actions. If you don't like it, make sure you're not seen! And nobody has a problem with this? If so, that baffles me. 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

Just sounds like you are justifying cheating to me.

Buffy @ 28/12/2015 4:45

Just get over it! Send your PM, quickly use another tab and you're fine. You don't need to cry about it!

And you don't need to cry about your reputation.

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 site admin just said cheating is ok. So let's all cheat. That'll make for fun Mafia right?

Why is this even an issue? Why do you guys care that there is an active user list that is built into NDIM and can't be removed from it and why is it a big deal that they're all on invisible?

It's not the invisible thing that's the issue. It's looking at who's using the PM system to figure out who has a PR that's an issue.

I just think it's fair to call people out for it. You were obviously hiding and smiting secretly. It's dumb. I'm not the only one who's looked at the active users but I was honest and told you guys about it - which was probably dumb - but then you decided to start smiting me for it. It's lame. You guys are losers. You are joining this board to play mafia but from day one you have never stopped complaining about any of the rules, etc. I just thought I should bring it out into the open because you guys are joining up to gang up on me about it. Some of you actually going invisible to do it. How lame. I'll stand up for what I think anytime. But I would definitely be ashamed of being a part of a group consensus to smite someone for any reason. I'm bringing this to the light because it needs to be and people are getting in the way of the game because of it. Just play. And stop being personal. And petty.

I agree with this. I'm here for the laughs because Buffy is so upset about her reputation enough to call out all "GLB chicken shitters"

How did this thread get hi-jacked to talk about the active user list dos and don'ts? Let's get back to the real issue Buffy's rep!

I've been using the PM system all day and I'm not in this mafia game. Everyone on the site uses it. Very little times is it used for Mafia purposes.
