Taking the start as 26th May at 14:27 when Sully gave the go, and the end of each player's time being the time the notice of their death was posted, only 7 out of 24 players posted more than 50 posts per day (obviously that's calendar days, and is a bit skewed with the speed days Thursday and Friday). That's without trying. So 50 posts per day is reasonable but should cut out the more loquacious of players.

I’ve only been on the FG website a short time but I’ve found it to be very friendly and welcoming. During the game there was a very aggressive post made in response to (what I felt was) an innocuous enough post of mine. I reacted calling it out for what I thought it was, I said aggression like that was acting like a w@nker. The post that followed was just downright abusive. I wouldn’t let someone speak to me like that in RL so I don’t see why I should here. I play these games for enjoyment and abuse like that directed towards anyone is unacceptable IMO. There was an apology the following morning, not to me, but for getting angry and then an interaction where the person in question made it be known that they felt it was dealt with in the background and shouldn’t be raised again. In fact it was directly put to them about an apology not being issued immediately, that caused another unnecessary row. I haven’t looked up the anon account so I’m not sure which user it was. I know people might say I have no right to complain about something like this as I fly fairly close to the wind with my jokes and humour (or what passes for humour) wouldn’t be to everybody’s liking. In RL and here I make a conscious effort to never make a personal comment about anyone, jokey or malicious in nature. For me theres a huge difference. As someone new to this forum it comes across that you know each other very well, get on very well and like I said its been very welcoming. Something like this would make me think twice about signing up for another game, I don’t play to be spoken to like that. I’d imagine other newcomers would feel the same. I don’t expect any response from the mods or anyone else really, there was a card issued at the time, dealt with in full IMO. I just wanted it noted that the yellow card didn’t stop this, today I’m pathetic for not wanting to engage with him. In a game which is all about language, words like pathetic and stupid stand out.

Necro wrote: » Actually we had one breach of the 100 post limit I won't reveal the offender though, it wasn't a massive deal. I think sKeith capped out at 100 posts in one phase as well. But yeah maybe it was too high, the thing about post limits is that I don't want them to actively hinder the village trying to solve the game. But I guess if everyone is working to the same parameters a reduction is fair. Thanks for all the feedback though, definitely a few things to take away and improve on for other games.

Green&Red wrote: » I never felt like there was ever any danger of people going near the limit, even 50, did anyone post 50 times over one 36hr period? IMO if theres a limit it should be one that actually limits people. It would make it easier to ISO as well. I liked the closed night phase, even in a shorter game a closed phase of maybe 6/8hours could work. I would have liked a bit of time after the lynch announcement to chat, I think we could have learned more I said it over on D&D but it was a long game, maybe a few more roles could speed that up though
