    Very nice Kommodus though something you missed with the profile watching is you can also just open another Org and you wouldn't be able to see the person PMing unless you were watching their profile every 10 seconds or so.

    At first I thought this was your new mafia game.

    I enjoyed reading that Kommodus, you obviously know what you're doing and it did work for us townies in many games thus far.

    Needless to say, the main objections against such a programm you raised yourself; the chance you're mafia is a real one (especially if you get to chose your mafioso yourself) and then the programm, and you with it, can't be trusted. Plus, again you said this yourself, the game is more of psycological game, reading into other player's words and all that, although admittedly numbers do help a lot when we have things as post count and posts per day, like here.

    Let us know if that super programm ever comes along though I daresay we'd be interested...

    Ah, no worries GG! You were actually a decent mafioso; you made it pretty far. It didn't work out in the end, but then again, I'm a pretty bad mafioso myself!

    Sure you are. If it weren't for you I'd be glad if I made a round or 5.

    So did the program say if I behave mafioso like back then? Are you also following, capo de tuti capi with your program? I know I'd love to see the statistics. dirty white glove mafiosi!

    Ha, t'was not the screw-ups of the mafia, t'was the unlucky detective who nailed them in mafia III!



    Anyways - on to the subject. This is pretty fascinating. But could not a player purposely using wildly varying posting schemes in different games make it more difficult for the holmes detector?
