Proposal for alternative punishments for gamethrowers

[Necroplant]

Even when you remove all the trolls, there will always be a retarded town. How else is mafia supposed to win?

Now the list of people on banlists are much less than the amount of players who come and join a game. It's also rare that you get 3 people in a game on a list. Now here's my idea: let people on banlist at least spectate games. Yes, the logical part of my brain also thinks of your retort before you even post it: "But the idea of a punishment is detention away from something you want to do!"

If spectators could only watch games and not interfere with them, they could also learn their lesson AND learn how to play better by watching people who aren't on lists?

You know I'm right.

[Mugy]

Not a bad idea IMO.
This would require work from DR which he doesn't have time for atm...

[Ash]

not a bad idea. it could lure those motherfuckers to farm hours to boost mafia's popularity

[Damus_Graves]

Lag Griefing instantly becomes a problem

[RLVG]

Lag Griefing instantly becomes a problem

And encourages skyping.

let people on banlist at least spectate games.

My idea : If you're banlisted and spectating, make everyone a White Color "Anonyme", like this : Anonyme.

Sounds like Necro just wants a way to be in the game again. If a person's on the banlist, they already know how to play, they just didn't care for the rules. We don't ban people for being stupid. No newb is going to be on the banlist.

As said, there are potential cheating/trolling issues, and to take the measures necessary to compensate for that (as much as is possible - it's an issue that couldn't be solved) is a waste of Rev's time as the changes would only benefit those who have demonstrated a huge lack of respect towards the community.

There's also the fact that it encourages banlisted people to keep playing games, which means they take away a slot from another player and it forces hosts to 100% of the time have to adjust their save down one person - in addition to the fact that there's usually a person who drops, this now makes for regular 13 person games when most people calibrate their saves to 14-15.

As I said, newbs/dumb people don't get on the banlist. There is no reason to give benefits to those who have proved they do not care about the gaming experience of others.

Not really skyping, because the spectator wouldn't have any information to spread.

If someone is bant for grief lagging, then they shouldn't be able to observe at all.

[Brendan]

No, I can already imagine the lag.

[Lazers]

If you managed to get on the banlist, you deserve it

retardation is not pitied

Since you used a bad word, I'm going to issue an equal retort, you faggot.

...that was it.

[Slaol]

Yayap's #1 smurf, Slaol, does not approve on any level.

[Raptorblaze]

We don't KV/banlist people for unintentional mistakes in judgement. We banlist them for purposely ruining games

[TimeTrx]

In response to the original post, NO.

[Necroplant]

In response to the original post, NO.

Verbally disrespecting mods is punishable. But you're just a donor, so mow my pubes with your teeth, please.

This is a good suggestion, as there's no harm in just watching you know. But I know we Mafia players have only the power of suggestion and not the power of execution.

Seems like you're shaping up and ready to be unbanned. Your crocodile tears are just spam.

Well then, please feel free to watch a replay, if you would like to spectate. That is what you want. Or is that banlist too annoying for you?

Now for a second let us think what 'could' happen if this spectate feature was put into the game:

• You would be able to watch people
• You could coordinate gamethrowing, or it this case cheating by knowing roles and passing them other players
• You could lag the game, which people have already talked about in this thread
• You would still take up a spot, and you could gang up with other people, who are also banned to review ways to further hurt the game, example: train other trolls
• You would still get your 3 pauses to annoy other players
• You would be able to lag the game by spamming macro commands

Have I forgot anything?

Yes you forgot one constant: the pausing.

Activision-Blizzard Inc. grants each player three pauses per-game. They realized that three is fair. Blizzard condones and blesses the use of the three pauses.

You just like filling up your stupid bulletpoint list with something totally redundant.

You also like replying me a lot. Stop giving me attention, I'm a sad creature and you're just making me more powerful than you can ever imagine.

this list has pretty much made up my mind yeah... the idea was good... but not while Mafia is still in StarCraftII...
StarCraftII wouldn't really support this very well...

That's why you make everyone shown as Anonyme as I've earlier suggested.

[TimeTrx]

No I didn't check the list, you fool.

[Funce]

What about Lag Chat?

Or Numbers, you know the one that's like 1. Red 2. Blue

That sort of thing

[Deantwo]

if so... then what's the point? you can't see who is who... and most of the points on TimeTrx's list still stand...

beside i am getting the feeling Necroplant wanted this to work so that he's ban would be shorter if he watched a lot of games...
but that can't be don't cause of the way SC2 work only with bankfiles and so...

Because you can still spectate and see how others perform trials and etc. The name is censored just for the fact of skyping. Even if it's a "Minor" thing to skype with someone not in the game - two brains is sometimes way more effective.
