"xxx whispers to yyy", it's ok if pepole don't see it that aren't the sender and reciever of message.
If sender/reciever doesn't see the message - it's a bug.

no, i dont think you are right. mafia wiki says:

Disadvantages
Everyone will be able to see the private message being sent, there for it can be be easy for other people to figure out who is working together if they talk a lot using private messages.

and

Although the contents of your private messages themselves are not disclosed to the other players, the fact that you have sent a private message to another player IS disclosed to the other players. Specifically, a message will appear in the chat log any time a player sends a private message to another, notifying all other players that a private message was sent by Player X to Player Y.


also: the sender also did not see the "whispers to" message, just the message itself.

If everyone can see private messages, than what's their point, it's just a usual message?
I think it's mafia wiki broken, it doesn't even add some winning screens which you can see in this old thread:

"X Whispers to Y" is just a note, that a private message was sent by someone to someone. Only this should be shown to everyone.
And i told that not only reciever, but sender also should see the whole message.

That's literally what dooglrig said. "X whispered to Y" wasn't sent apparently.

Idk, then it's a bug, ask pepole to fix it?
(or maybe what he send actually was "XXX whispers to YYY", because since 20k points you acess color coding)

this actually is the bug report forum.

you dont get my point, you obviously did not watch the replay, why do you even answer to this thread?
