DEATH TO THE INVISIBLES! and Masy if he;s playing.

Hmmm, interesting info, Sasaki. In mafia III, as detective, I checked out people's profiles to see if there were online at all during the time the mafia had to have sent the PMs. If their last visit here was before the start of the game and the kills had been posted, they were innocent. But I've been too lazy to do it since. He could also be looking for people PMing others. Still, it seems unlikely that that was solely it - though short lengths of time between execution and the next kills would help eliminate suspects.
Longer rounds for people to send the PMs would alleviate this, and everyone going invisible would completely eliminate it.

Sorry Ignoramus, time's up. Last time someone joined after the time limit (DA in Mafia II) he was first round dead... so doesn't seem like a meaningful thing to do.

The PMing can be beaten. Open the org twice, Open PM in the first, click whatever you want in the second, and your profile should only indicate what you've done in the second window.
You could also send in your kills before the voting has ended and then don't come online for a while (or don't sign on and do view the thread) until after the kills are posted. Or you could have another mafia member send in your kill and lay low for a while.
Most 'tricks' to seek out the mafia can be beaten and used to the mafia's advantage.![]()

This is true doc.
I would like to add my experience to this.
It also helps if you have written what you want to PM beforehand. That way the actual PM process will be over within the timeframe of a few seconds. Open a direct PM link by clicking on the profile of an org.member paste in your PM, send and redirect to the backroom.
Also PM during low activity times. This would especially be during office hours in Europe.
If possible do your communication with your partners in crime via e-mail.
Personally I would have preferred if all game communication were done via e-mail due to the fact that we have several moderators as players.
This means all players registering into a game also must provide an e-mail address.
The risk of people not checking their e-mail is notable.

Me and Saskai actually have something of an unfair advantage, in that we can see when invisible users are online or not.
I will endeavour not to use it, for the sake of parity.

It's generally a bad idea to give the mafia advice.Originally Posted by doc_bean

Checking PMs and on line status etc are borderline cheating anyway. It also might be a way to beat Kommodus' system, since it seems to be based on user profiles.Originally Posted by discovery1

Why are you people helping the mafia? It's not borderline cheating, the mafia just need to be more careful. And now, thanks to you, the methods of beating the system are out in the open.
I don't see why anybody in this game should be invisible. If you have nothing to hide, why not be out in the open?

GH, we're talking about the system Kommodus used to win MIV for the villagers in several turns, which he wouldn't reveal as he thought it too powerful.

The Thread
Agreed with SR and doc.Originally Posted by Silver Rusher
I don't like the trics like looking at profiles etc... that's just not... hmm.. real. The game itself is nice, trying to find the mafia by reading the posts here carefully, but also noticing who didn't vote. analysing which people voted for which, who were killed and how. That's the real 'mafia game'.![]()

Anyway, the kills should be up soon.. right? said the same in Mafia IV and got suspected right away, but it's just true - the mafia are taking quite some time for their first kills. perhaps they're discussing strategy?![]()

Agreed. And I think you'll get a pass this time Drisos :pOriginally Posted by Drisos
Well, Komm did say it would be 24 hours and (checks back at game start post) we still have about 3 hours left.
THE GODFATHER, PART 2
The Thread
To answer two quick questions:
1. Kills will be a little late this time since a buddy of mine is getting married this weekend and I have some roles in the wedding (like playing guitar and singing - yikes!) This is a one-time thing; after this my schedule clears up a lot and delays like this won't happen nearly as much.
2. I've turned on invisible mode so that no one can get any clues from my own behavior, especially moderators who can see who I'm communicating with via PM. I know you wouldn't deliberately do this, but I'm just being careful.
