Wait, what exactly changed?

8 and 9 of In-game Rules were added, and Infraction section was changed too (Mainly an increase of infraction points for more severe offenses). As I said, it's really a clarification of the existing rule set.

Does this mean I can't sign for a game with my Stealthbombomb16 account?

As long as you don't do it to be disruptive you're allowed to unless host says otherwise lol, this hasn't changed

8 doesn't work. One just can't unsee what has been seen.

There's a difference between unseeing something and reaching for "host slips" that are often false. It just decreases the overall quality of games, and nobody likes that. Of course, if host actually fucks up magistrally (which is what your post implies), it's his/her job to deal with it and fix the error.

Also, it does work: a rule against angleshooting isn't a test idea, it's already on some other forums, and it works there too. See this short article (https://www.mafiauniverse.com/wiki/Angleshooting)

The rule that is commonly "angleshot" at is "Respect the host and their rules".

As I said, as long as you don't do disruptive stuff with it or cheat with it, feel free to have one... but as long as you respect the rules. So no, you aren't even breaking anything xD

Brutal lmao
...no u

...no aamirus

Lol. Since it's a quite big definition, and that the rules of the setup (because such a thing would be there since angleshooting is against the rules of the forum) would need to be approved, the answer is "it depends"... I mean, if it's a setup in the Watermeloann game style, maybe....

I'm confused about what angleshooting even is tbh. The page you linked gives a totally different definition and the phrasing used in the FM rules is very vague.

It's not totally different... On Mafia, angleshooting is literally only based on host's wordings, because everything else (like ogc, smurfing, etc.) is clear cut and doesn't change. So respect the host and their rules, and don't try to circumvent them. It's basically "don't try to circumvent rules", but in-games, it's how it translates.

The definition given in the FM rules is concerned with using information outside of the core game to gain an advantage. i.e. picking apart how the host responded to a question to glean extra information or find a "slip". On the other hand, the definition you're describing now (and the definition on the linked page) is referring to attempts to exploit the intricacies of the host's rules.

By what you're saying now, I assume you wanted to convey the latter definition. But that's not how the FM rules sound. And kenny shares my interpretation, so it can't just be me being weird.
