Especially in a game with ITAs. I feel like any player who gets killed in any way that would be unexpected (aka, dying in any way besides the lynch), mods should 100% PM them.
fwiw, he posted again to berate people after the mod had responded to his ITA with "You are dead, stop posting"

Fwiw I didn't know that nor did I see that post. But keep chiming in with stuff you don't know about.

Also once I clearly didn't know I was dead I still wasn't pm'd and posted my rage post still clearly not knowing I was dead. I even didn't know I was dead so when I was told it was for dead posting I thought they meant in a turbo after a game ending maj where I posted and that I was berating with that post.

Quite useless for anyone to speculate on what happened tbh.

I stated I was playing a game online (doesn't pause think StarCraft)
Ask who to shoot during load screen
Game.starts
Small break in game I see JJB say to shoot a, b or c which is before I'm dead ldo
I die sometime after job's post
I shoot at the exact last time stamp possible obv not knowing I'm dead
I'm berated at the end of the page after my shot where no one tells me I'm dead and presumably a horrible shot for why " nice shot bro" and "lol killer" is posted
This is at the end of a page
I reply with a rage post to mucks
On the page after the mucks post mb tells me I'm dead again (no pm)
I write a rage post and get temp banned never told what happened
I explain how I clearly would have no idea given multiple reasons
I'm told its my job to read mod posts and that I should he nicer to players

That got me.a.month off. I was also told its my.job to read every mod post before I post and that its Ky own fault for playing something besides ww.

Yeah, I saw that, but BMs post and killer's last post were something like 2-3 apart. Again, I don't feel like it's uncommon for players to not read every post made prior to posting. It's possible killer showed up and just fired a shat without reading the hundreds of posts he was AFK for, then went back to re-read something and then responded to whatever he read.

I do that it 13ers all the time (and if this is bad, please lmk).

If I wake up on day 1 and see 10 pages, I'll usually read/respond in blocks.

Read pages 1 & 2 and make a MQ of posts I deem important
Read pages 3 & 4, make MQ
repeat until I'm caught up.

If this game happened to have Vigs/ITAs and I was killed on page 9, it's hard for me to realize it immediately. That's why I feel like PMing players about sudden deaths should be standard practice from the mods.

Partial solution: skim ITAs to see if dead, as a bonus you get inconsequential details like multiple wolves lolcatting and dead people flipping important things

Last resort: make your intro "am I dead?" amd wait 90 seconds and hit f5

The link to download the VC needs fixed. It links to checkmywwstats but needs to be changed to werewolfstats
Props for this post. Very good post, on topic/low content and clearly written for folks to understand.

A+ would read again

That's irrelevant completely to the discussion. Could've pm'd me once I dead posted clearly not knowing and crunched for time on my.shot clearly shown by it being at the end of the time frame.

CPHoya: I don't know how to correct that. My usual go-to was just to lock threads where the vortex of escalating terrible and cruel posting was becoming obvious. There are good things about that approach. There are also bad and dumb things about that approach. It's not the approach that was taken this time. I'm kinda glad.

Censoring conversation about the game by locking the thread in the post-game is usually pretty bad in at least the following way: since post-game is a learning time, an interesting topic, and often memorable and either funny or positive, I'm literally taking that away from everyone if I decide POG is being too POGgy in post. The other problem with my doing that is that it's obviously pretty authoritarian and really is the forum parallel of taking away the ball because the kids cannot play with it without shoving each other.

I don't think its reasonable to expect mods to PM you when you die during the day in a mash

There's enough crap going on in them; to have them keep tabs on your mortality for you seems a bit much.

At best it is a courtesy (domer informed me when I got vigged in Cold War during a low-activity part of the day). You died during ITAs I think. What else do mods have to do for you?

Having said that, your ban seems unnecessarily long for dead posting. You should talk to Hoya about it.

Partial solution: Not a terrible idea, but again, it's hard to expect this. Maybe the end of ITAs is near and a player wants to make sure they get their shot in before the deadline.

Last resort:

While it's not impossible for a wolf (knowing they are alive) to make a "am I dead" post, I agree with killer here that anybody who posts that is probably way more likely to be a villager. Most wolves would ask that in wolf chat.

Disagree.

Don't get me wrong. I can't even imagine how much work modding a MM is. Those of you that volunteer to do that are amazing. However, it literally takes 30 seconds to send a "You are dead, please stop posting" PM.
I think expecting somebody to check hundreds of posts to look for their death is unrealistic. Asking players to simply check their PMs is fine imo.

I happen to dead post a lot in mashes because I can't be bothered to read posts. Especially when im posting 5 hours apart

Mods really need to let u know when u die
Werewolf LC Thread Quote
05-12-2015 , 05:26 PM
yeah i stopped playing mishmashes because i used to phone post a lot, id show up and say "am i dead" and get lynched for saying it "omg hes faking it"

so i play anniversary and thata about it

but yes mods really do need to, esp if there are 3 mods
