    Would you be interested in trying a new form of forum mafia?

    In this version, you may not contact any other player through private message purposes. You may only communicate through the forum.

    Basically, you can't privately communicate.

    Well?

    EDIT: The forum messed up and made the poll disappear. Just put your opinions or questions down as posts.

    I would be interested in any forum mafia. Why do you think this is better than the traditional way?

    EDIT: also, why do you think that people won't PM each other? Since mafia is all about backstabbing, and I don't know how you can police the use of PRIVATE messages. Not to mention that PMs on the server are untracable, as far as I know. Although I'd probably be better at this than normal mafia, since compared to some people (master) I have no communication with others anyway.

    Self restraint.

    ...I'm not sure if I can trust people on that, though...

    I don't necessarily think this is better than the traditional way (even the the traditional way is this way but screw it), it's just another style of playing that could be considered. Of course it won't apply to ALL future forum mafia games... Just if people are interested in trying one.

    i'd be willing, but you can't really control people and restrict them, so it just ends up becoming one side having an advantage vs others

    If someone could make non-pokemon related mafias once in a while then I'd be interesting in joining them.

    I don't think you would really be able to police it, but it would be a cool way of doing it.

    I'm really interested in this though, so much fun

    The current one Yiran and I are working on is non-pokemon based.
