How does one go invisible?

Asking for a friend..

Just play. And stop being personal. And petty.

So, posting a list of people who are smiting you is...?

How do I find the list of people who are smiting and up-voting me? Or is that only a mod feature?

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.

He isn't going to care and cater to members only here for mafia. It's just a side thing for fun. So you guys either need to deal with it or play on a forum that isn't NDIM because that is a feature of NDIM forums. :sansa:

Benschrau @ 27/12/2015 23:50 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. 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 don't think anyone is going invisible just to smite you. I log on as invisible everyone I log on now cause fuck people knowing what I'm doing, what thread I'm reading, etc.

Some are. Timmah for one.

Dammit buffy. You got me thinking and agreeing with Shaq-fu. That just ruined my whole weekend.

Anyone who is purple, red or yellow has the ability to see what you're doing if you're on invisible tbh

I'd smite you no matter if I'm invisible or visible. I went invisible to prevent any future shenanigans in games.

Well that's just because you're an asshole. I can't help that.

post count

Timmah asked how to log on as invisible the other day cause he was tired of people seeing his name at the bottom like I was. People call out people who are reading and not posting in the game thread is also a chicken shit thing to do. Sometimes people can't post, or don't want to at that time.

So, what you're saying is, it doesn't matter what I (simple peon) do, someone out there can see stuff I can't, and use that to their advantage (no matter the size of advantage)?

How do I get one of those fancy colors to level the playing field?

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
