It's an aptly named Horizontal Line. You do it by using [.hr]. There's no need for a [/hr].

In the buttons above the post, it is the ingenuous horizontal line with arrows at the side. (A horizontal line image for a horizontal line, ohmy.)

What I'm more worried about are the 4 cop sanities actually; I personally think it is too much information for town to work with; how about adopting an idea from another site I know of - cop sanities not being revealed upon death? I don't know, it might sound crazy, but it encourages cops to speak up lest they get lynched/killed?

Okay, how do you do that break like you did from the roles to the sign ups?

@Zawadx, you wouldn't have time to write the lore?! I had a lore already laid out remember? I pm'd it to you! You were DLs writer in BRAWL, the time consumption event too! xD. You must've struggled finding time to write everything.

That wasn't the matter. I could easily write down the starting lore (it's already halfway done ) but my activity would decrease mid-game. The lore I was talking 'bout is the ones you have to write describing nightkills and stuffs. More importantly, I would've needed time to manage all the night skills and do vote tallying and stuff - which I might not have the time for.

But I can participate as much of the deductions can be done offline. So yay for Mafia participation!

[CrockettRocket]

hrm, think you might do the "afk/no vote for more then 2 days" then?

[Zawadx]

A 2 day period will encompass 7 days, so it's HIGHLY unlikely I won't be able to vote. If I was gonna go afk, I wouldn't participate. The fact that I'm in means that unless something weird happens I'll be here.

I thought the rule applied to real life time, not mafia time.  but mafia time makes more sense now that I think about it.

[RootRanger]

I'm in.

My only concern is Rule 4. What if the Hacker no-votes twice in a row for strategic purposes, but claims to have a viable reason? How do you determine whether a reason is viable or not, and couldn't the Hacker just lie about his reason? My suggestion would be that the Hacker can't reveal the admin investigations two days in a row.

To be honest, I don't really like implementing a modkill for palyers who no-vote twice in a row. I did that in my mafia, and a few people died from it even though they were still playing. It's not like there's much of a strategic reason not to vote, so why punish mere carelessness?

[CrockettRocket]

if they get voted on during the day, when they're afk, civilians/admins lose a chance to kill a mafia/troll. This could change wether or not mafia win.

The Hacker still abides by the "2 day no vote" ruling, whether strategical or not. I should have put that in the rules (and will do so once I'm done replying here) so thanks for pointing that out.

As for the ruling, I do appreciate why we have it and it does encourage activity and voting which is all good. There are few times when you would strategically no-vote 2 times in a row and inactivity can slow the event to a halt. But I just copied the results from what was agreed so I'm maybe not the best person to question here



Also, I knocked 2 hours off the sign up time. It's gonna make it easier for me with the timings I have planned. I doubt this will have a profound effect but I'm just notifying y'all.

Yeah another mafia,

I'm in!

Ooh, Root's in. This'll be fun.

Th modkill was implemented to ensure player activity. By voting you show that you are following the mafia thread, and it allows other players to converse with you. And yeah, it also discourages carelessness. That's one of the things it's meant to do.

What's the role of the Gladadmin and the Sadadmin anyway? I could only see them useful to determine which ones are the Admin and the Badadmin. (come to think of it, that might be the general idea though)
