Hello dear Mafiacreaters and -players,
I got a problem with what I would call somehow cheating.
For isntance people using skype. They are able to discuss whom to kill or give each other tipps on who is mafia and who not - without being seen.
Now there is the possibility of PMs, but as it is turned off most of the time, I think people just don't want people talking with no chance of seeing this.
For example: 2 guys get to play the mafia. Instead of talking in the chat, letting the spy hear them, they talk on skype, disabling the whole spy mechanics.
OR one is mafia and died, the other one is vigilante. 3 people are alive: one mafia, one vigilante and hm a citizen or something random... now if the dead mafia guy just tells his friend in skype who the last mafia guy is - town wins.
2nd "cheating": I just got out of a game where i was the mafia. It was a nice game, I hit the Sheriff, then someone starts lagging. As it turned out, the sheriff was investigating me, saw I'm mafia but wasn't able to write his last will due to his death the same night. So what did he do? He just wrot in the Lagger-Chat, that he knows I'm the mafia, which got me killed. I'd say dead guys don't talk...
What do you think, is this kind of cheating or not? And are there possibilities to prevent such things or to prevent those people from joining your game, when you are the host? Like a banlist or something?
See you soon,
Morgil
