Wait
Are these alts only for playing in games

#29

Updated hosting information. Hosts can require alts to tell them their identity - but only if specified in the game’s OP

#30

also uh

if mods have to approve of alts

wouldn’t said mods playing in games with said alts be a bit of a :eyes:

eh now i gotta update the op
:roll_eyes:
/s

#32

That was exactly my thought.
Moderators will have an advantage in that regard.

#33

However I thought they’d just go and say “It’s under angleshooting”

#34

Or well it’s actually using OGI
So it’s going to be illegal to use it publically as an advantage
Let’s just hope it doesn’t lead to mechanical advantage

#35

yeah but if i know DybuDabu420 is an alt of Marshal then i can’t just pretend i don’t know that while playing with them, even if i never disclose it publicly

it influences how i’d play

while obviously that’s somewhat a problem, we’re doing our best to mitigate it by e.g. not allowing discussion of alts (so a mod can’t say ‘I know that Liddell is actually an Alice alt, we shouldn’t towncore them even though they just got a wolf lynched’ or ‘I know whose alt Liddel is, we shouldn’t towncore them even though they just got a wolf lynched’)

This is the case with every instance of angleshooting
Which is what I said before
And why it’s a bad rule in at least 60% of cases

regardless subconscious angleshooting is inevitable so it’s still a problem IMHO

#39

I said this at Sept '19
I offered that we replace Angleshooting with Outside of Game Influence
People didn’t want it

#40

well we’re not going to ban mods from playing FM

it’s up to individual users whether they consider the upsides of alts to outweigh the possibility of a mod knowing their identity
