SENPAl says

someone should make a stickied forum topic with all the c/p-able system messages, like




Cop:

After investigations, you suspect that PlayerA is sided with the village.

After investigations, you suspect that PlayerA is sided with the mafia.



most of it can be cp'd from the wiki

then just remove that rule cuz it's stupid, new players will only fail it once or twice, the learn to look up their messages before fake-claiming

Copying any or all of your role PM in forum mafia gets you automatically force replaced or modkilled. Copy pasting a system message you get is nothing short of that tbh. Keep the rule.


in forum mafia, being able to read the mod (e.g. their attitude change when a player places a FOS) is an issue even without being able to c/p PMs. if people were allowed to c/p PMs everyone would try reading mods even harder, so it's p understandable.

copied mechanics doesn't have this issue at all.

Copypasting is only effective because there is a rule strictly prohibiting people from doing it, so whoever does it is 99% likely to be real

If it was allowed everyone would copy paste, even mafia, it'd lose efectiveness instantly.

I loved everyone shouting at a new player asking him whether it was pick or choose


yeah it will teach n00bs about the game the hard way and make them learn which is good


actually might have a point.

gives noobs an extremely easy hurdle to get over that can then be turned around on the players even newer than them.

Which just encourages new players to learn more, because they know just how effective it can be.

And pulling one over on someone worse than you is the best part of em.


mechanical competency of experienced players now is also extremely low in comparison to how it used to be

this would force them to wake up to at least one part of that

N00bs are there to be exploited by good players until they turn into non-n00bs


Unless you're like me and just sheep because you're too lazy to give fcks anymore.
