    you can't really complain about "flaking" considering the amount of players and the fact that deadlines are two weeks. people don't want to play long games. me included. sorry. while i personally am a big proponent of "if you sign up play, if you don't have time, don't sign up" it is pretty dumb to figure people can / want to commit to a game that will take 2+ months. it's not fun, it gets boring. this isn't mafia scum so don't treat it as such. (speaking of mafiascum i looked at a similar size game that finished that had 14 subs in total. yeah it's selective but the point stands. people will sub out of long games, make the deadlines short to keep people interested). sohv, great expectations, bravest warriors, and this game have proved deadlines even longer than 7+ games absolutely do not work here. we don't have a playerbase to sustain that unfortunately.

    clearly PO mafia is not dead considering the increased activity? NOC games are filled, we have two full beginner games going. if there aren't enough subs it's because YOU aren't doing enough. go find subs. get on the server and search for interested parties. there are people who want to play who don't know. it is YOUR job as the host to make sure your game runs, not the player, not me, or anyone else. if you need subs go get subs. narrowing criteria because you want "good" players is fine i guess, but it's certainly not worth it to kill the game off due to lack of activity. subs aren't magically going to come to you, it's the job of the host to keep the game from stagnating, which is your responsibility, not the players. be a better host. if you're not sure what to do ask for help. we've got plenty of intelligent people here who can offer good opinions.

    speaking of hosting i've received complaints about hosting which hey happened in the FFA game too. it's in the rules as well, but UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU HELP PLAYERS. "inactivity" is not an excuse to help players. giving hints, commenting on the situation is NOT the role of the host. the role of the host is to be impartial. you are supposed to make sure the game runs smoothly and is as much of a good experience as possible. it is not your responsibility to balance shit out because things didn't go as expected. be proactive, prod players, shorten deadlines if you see activity dying down. PRs dying early or being inactive is absolutely not an excuse to give hints and help players. just because you think a player is bad or whatever isn't a reason to not let them play the game. i didn't follow the game closely so i can't verify if you redirected a kill because you felt like it or whatever, but commenting on a post in lylo and influencing players is ridiculous and is not the point of a host. don't care if you don't respect some of the players or maybe this is what hosts do on mafiascum but it is certainly not acceptable here. "good" or "bad" players, we all play to have fun together, and downplaying certain players because they aren't "good" enough as an excuse to give help is simply wrong.

    you really should receive an infraction for breaking the rules (not being impartial) but i'm just going to blacklist you from hosting for the foreseeable future. PO mafia may certainly be dead to you and if you don't want to positively contribute then go ahead and play on mafiascum since i'm certainly not letting you host without good reason. we aren't mafiascum and that's cool. we're a unique community which makes us us. i don't care if people play there, but please stop treating here as the same as there (this is for everyone btw)

    i'm not trying to be rude and i'm sorry if i am, but i just wanted my feelings to be clear.
