I think a discussion on how to treat each other in the games-what is acceptable and what isn't, is a good idea. Also, talking about others in QT's would be good idea to discuss as well since they are part of the game.
1) Is it o.k. to aggravate a person to get them to replace out?
2) Is calling someone an idiot o.k. or telling them they suck?
3) Where do you draw the line on insults and bad behavior?
4) Is crticizing play fair game since we are all on a team and if someone is hurting the team, shouldn't that be mentioned post game or is it natural to flip out when someone criticizes you?
I don't have time right now, but if the games continue here, this should be addressed.
5) Also, what is considered a personal attack and what isn't?
i numbered them for ease but being a long term player over 4-5ish sites as well as being a long time mod and a slew of games i can give a good idea
1) never, this is not only me as a player but as a mod, if your sole intention is to aggravate them to replace out then you are just being a dick.
that being said aggravating a player can be how you solve someone but its falls to a player to find where the limit is, if you unintentionally push a player past their point where they replace out, then really there's nothing you can do. more then once this has happened,
in our MS rebels in palace i gave my 2 cents to wake about his play and several other players as well, i was scum but what i was saying was not with intention to force him to replace out nor were any of the other players from MPOV.
when your a mod and you knwo the true intent, then you can make a good judgment call, as a player, you should just replace out or PM mod.
2) yes, its fine to do that as long as you are attacking them as a player and not a human. more then once have i been called or called players stupid/idiots/ect for play reasons. never do i say that with the intent to ridicule them as a human.
if you do it and say it like "you are a stupid moron who has nothign in life" then i would say that crossing the line
but going "your reads scuck" or "your an idtiot to think hes town" is acceptable b/c you are attacking a read/play and not a person themself
3) thats a gray area all around. its case by case tbh.
as a mod, i watch the thread and if i see something starting to get out of hand i will PM/step in. but i personally leave it up to players to self moderate that to an extent due to the fact some players like to "mod guess"
4) its fair in game as well as post game. it goes back to point 2 somewhat where if someone goes "your reads scuk" or "how do you think hes town stupid?" are fair things.
as for "flipping out" i do think thats just more playstyle and human behavior. i can elaborate but its more MPOV and not exactly mafia related
5)
"YOU SUCK AND YOUR MOM IS A WHORE" <---- personal insult
"OMG YOUR READS ARE SHIT AND YOUR PLAY IS SHIT" <------- attacking play
"OMG YOUR A SHITTY PLAYER" <------slightly more gray but imo, attacking play and should not be considered a personal insult
if you have examples or quotes i can give you what i would classify it as.
