Heh, just watch the next Toon Mafia....hee hee hee hee HA HA HA HAAAA.

Confirmed townies will never happen.

Funny how giving the town a CT was such a good idea.

I tend to aim for the flip side of the fix: no PMs.  Even if you have a confirmed townie, it gets harder for them to rig things up for the town. 

It's doubt that keeps a game interesting.  Once something becomes 100% the thrill is gone. 

[Leafsnail]

I thought the chance of getting a CT was low due to the fact that the CT creator was scum, and the dayvig ability rather limited.  Obviously not...

[Cheeetar]

Well damn.

Edit: Goddamnit Webadict.

I stopped caring when I became a CT. It's lame when you direct everyone. I just didn't care.

Bullshit man... You called me scum when I told you I was going to keep scumhunting as opposed to just waggon Meph even if I knew he was scum...

You made everyone follow you and then felt the burden.

also... free pming sucks... It has been sucking for a long time now.  There should not be free pming because once  there is a confirmed townie this happens.  I've told you this a long time ago.  I think we've learned the lesson by now.

You were lucky it was not me...

[Leafsnail]

I quite like the discussions and deals that can occur with free pming, but I suppose the other option is to make it a scum-only thing.  What does everyone think of this?

[dakarian]

scum already has free PMing though.  It comes with the quick chat.

Now, A LOT of scum don't use it...but there you go.


One thing, though, not allowing free PMing will make masons available, since they get free PM access like the scum do.  They bypass the CT issue since, while they are confirmed to each other, the rest of the town isn't so sure of them. 


In any case, PMing is ok.  CTs aren't the end of the world.  the problem is the combined.  If you free PM, you have to make sure CTs can't exist.  If you don't allow PMs, that's not an issue.

[Leafsnail]

Hmm... yes, scum only pming with a possible mason group sounds interesting.

[dakarian]

Once Free PM goes away, there's actually a lot you can do.

Masons = confirmed townies that can speak to each other via PM
Neighbors = people that can speak to each other freely, but with no one confirmed (aka, some MAY be scum)

Convertable Neighbor group = a townie that can, each night, invite a person into their group.  It's a 'neighbor' group since the person can join regardless of alignment

And that's the more normal settings.  Once you go crazy, the mess can really go wild.

[Mephansteras]

I wonder if the Free PM'ing thing is my fault. I wanted to run Paranormal that way because I wanted a modern setting, and letting people text/call/whatever each other made sense.

While I plan on continuing to run Paranormal that way, I'm not sure if it even makes sense for most games to have free PMing in place.

[Leafsnail]

This game was with Bay 12ers!  We can send pms directly into each others brains!

And each scum player got a different explanation for the QuickTopic.  I believe Meph's was "Secret Ninja Powahs".

[ToonyMan]

I had a bad experience with QuickTopic.  AKA Screw you Watcher.
