    If you would have checked his profile, you would have noticed that he hasn't been online since the 3th of June. If you would have checked his posts, you would also have noticed that he didn't even post in the game he is hosting...



    Are you just being lazy or were you trying to quickly throw in a vote, almost unnoticed, to disappear again in the shadows?

    You mean, you cannot see when somebody was last online?

    I know I could when I was just a regular member. And I could also look for recent posts made by a certain member...

    How is that using "secret spy cams"?

    I can only on those who are not in invisible mode. Mithrandir uses invisible mode and I thus cannot see when he was last on. Only greenies can see through invisible mode.

    Perhaps because Mithrandir is an invisible mod, and thus us regular townies cannot see when he's online. You, on the other hand, can.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    I see.

    But Kukri is a mod as well. So he, just like me, should have known that Mith hasn't been online for a couple of days now...

    If he (unfairly?) used his mod powers as you have.

    I want to put some more suspicion on Kagemusha.

    Something like this was discussed in Taormina. Mod's have super-mod abilities. It really isn't an "abuse" of power because they can't turn it off. Just know, that if you play a mafia game with mods, they can normally see things that non-mods can't.

    Why were you so determined to try to lynch Kagemusha Last round?
    "Something can be done, by careful analysis, to sort out truth from propaganda and legend. But this is where the real difficulties begin, since each student inevitably selects, constitutes criteria, according to his own unconscious assumptions, social, ethical or political. Moral conditioning, in the widest sense, plays a far greater part in the matter than most people- especially the historians themselves-ever realize."

    I've not "disappeared again in the shadows", but I did quickly put a vote up (quickly, because of work commitments) for the one player with whose participation and posting style I'm most familiar - of the list of non-voters. I FoS all non-voters; Mithrandir is the one I 'knew' best. With your query Andres, now I'm a little worried about our Mith. Hope he's OK.

    Also note that the forum is still 'under construction', so participation may be negatively effected by that. I had to re-log-in once the org went 'live' again; guys may not remember their login password, etc.

    I am given to understand that moderators cannot turn off all of their abilities automatically. I am asking them, on their honor, to avoid using such tools as part of their play. This is, of course, exactly what they do at present. As your own experiences tell you, it poses no concern. They're a pretty good group of people.
    I thought that was good practice, and continue the procedure myself, although I don't think GH specified such a restriction.

    No, I don't have a restriction on this or invisibility mode. Anybody can be careful enough to avoid detection, even moderator detection. All they have to do is click the "send PM" button and immediately open a new window, which thwarts all efforts of surveillance.

    I'm sorry. I sincerely thought everybody could see when another member has been online for the last time. Apparently, non-moderators can only see that info when watching the profile of somebody who didn't use invisible mode.

    It was not my intention to gain advantage by using "moderator only"-information.



    And guys, this is discovery1's usual playstyle, so I don't think disco is a good lynch...
