My Little Pony: Friendship is Mafia

[Solid Snake]

What the fuck is up with everyone on NPF talking about me behind my back in chat, it's this constantly recurring and irritating theme and it's the whole reason why I left NPF in the fucking first place and clearly I shouldn't have come back
I can't even believe it's not against the rules to talk in chat insofar as any conversation in the chat may not be publicly broadcasted here, therefore meaning people can get away with all sorts of skeevy shit
Scum could basically convince town to kill me (or anyone else) in real-time chat with no opportunity for me to respond and I wouldn't even have a defense

Actually it is against the rules to talk in the chat

Like explicitly

like people discussing game in chat get GO-Killed automatically normally. The fact Fenris hasn't is probably a product of him being busy with his composing or music classes at college, something that we all understand is very trying and takes up a lot of his time.

Once he gets on and sees it, Snake, I'm sure he's going to modkill the piss out of chat-talkers.

Regardless of anything Sif, Conversation about the game, outside the game, is banned, except with other people you are mason'd with.

If the people in that chat are not people you are mason'd or Group'd with, then you should be GO-killed.

[also, my assumption if he doesn't kill you is either a 3 man masoning, or that's 3 mafiates right there, so hey, useful for exposin' yourselves.]

[Sifright]

Well i'm expecting to be mod killed so i might as well reveal my role. Townie who starts out knowing one other persons role and nothing else. Enjoy the game.

Gah, we aren't allowed to talk in chat, which I why I posted the whole thing. I shouldn't even have mentioned it in the first place, and I'm really sorry I did. I kinda forgot about the whole 'private' thing. Partly because I don't think there's an official ruleset, and I'm really only going by what I've picked up from the mafia wiki. Newbie and all. -.-

Anyway, Snake, we all think you're cool, and I, for one, am sorry for having started this in the first place.

Also, Sif, no need to go around revealing your role yet, I'm hoping nobody will die for this.

Edit: I mean, is it really that bad? We said, like, 2 sentences about it and then realized we shouldn't have and then posted the entire conversation.

[Sifright]

bit late for that the only thing i haven't done is reveal my flavour text.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Yeah, maybe we could all like, yano, wait for Fenris to get back on and decide first? Maybe a stiff warning and a removal of those peoples ability to take part in lynching/killing for a night would be sufficient?

Not saying it was right to be talking outside of the thread (it wasn't) but the conversation was posted so there's no harm done, and we'd really much prefer not to lose a bunch of people who could be townies all in 1 go.

Yeah but, like, how do we know the "whole thing" has been posted publicly?
What's to stop people from chatting in the chatroom and then editing the record, or simply refusing to disclose all the information that's actually discussed there?

If people are doing it in the chatroom, how am I supposed to feel confident that people aren't doing it anywhere else, over PM, or anything like that?

All of this is completely ancillary to my frustration with the whole "Good Lord, nearly every time I either happen to chance upon the chat room and/or read a chat log on NPF I'm being insulted behind my back, if people on NPF have issues with me why can't they be honest with me about it instead of basically turning into a toxic High School gossip mill?" That's pretty frustrating too, albeit for different reasons.

But complaining aside
Feeling like throwing suspicion on RPGDemon right now, there's something about him that feels quite 'off' compared to his early Day performance in recent games.
Unfortunately the difficulty here is that it's very easy for me to be irrationally hard on those who were actually involved in Homestuck Mafia, because I'm quite familiar with that game and much less familiar with the playstyles of those who didn't play there.

Also: It is still suspicious that Bob has been around and yet is not active here. He's not one to idle and forget a commitment.

Yeah, being so gung ho to have a big swathe of people killed is sort of against town interest. Unless they're scum.

It also seems like it could be gamed to the point where it's like, "LOOK, IN CHAT, I TALKED TO THIS DUDE, HE RESPONDED. BAM, KILL HIM.", at which point all hell breaks loose.

Note before this gets out of hand: I'm not the one who mentioned Modkilling as the solution.
My post merely expressed frustration. From there it sort of spiraled.
I am still frustrated about it, but it's worth noting that I did NOT Modkill anyone when a similar event happened in my game and I was Moderator, so it's not the solution I would advocate.

EDIT: Sifright, this isn't something you should leave over. If Fenris Modkills you, that's one thing, but I don't think you should quit. Making you quit was not the intention of my outburst.
