Angleshooting in Forum Games

No you cannot leave as it will net you a blacklist as it is a GLOBAL rule.
I can’t stress that enough. GLOBAL.

y’all are acting like corrupt and power tripping hosts are a problem.

they aren’t. And if they ever become a thing people will probably stay away from those games

you can leave without reason, just doing it over and over will get you a blacklist. i dunno where your getting that wording from

Yeah, cause people left for bullshit reasons.

you can literally talk to the mods about this.

They will listen.

like say if i leave one game without reason.

It’s frowned upon but not punishable.

However if i do it time and time again it becomes punishable as it’s actively ruining games

I personally leave a lot of games due to irl circumstances.
There’s a fine line between flaking and replacing normally

First person who understands what angleshooting even means, after over 400 posts.

And… it’s from MU.

Sigh.

There is such a hull breach in angleshooting it allows hosts victimblaming, covering mistakes, witch hunting and global punishment authority.
The breach is that big it’s even giving the host an excuse of why they are allowed to witchhunt and there is nothing we can do about it.
It’s even giving them the power to push people towards global blacklisting.

I don’t see how people don’t think this is a problem.

If you are leaving for the legitimate reason of “The host was unjust in their ruling” and it’s evident that they were, then the other mods would probably unlist you.

provide an example of this happening

The host just pleads innocent as it’s an opinionated rule. Tell me where the evidence against that is? Which is why it’s bad.

provide an example of that happening

First of all, games are design to follow certain tracks, they have rules to enforce it and are designed in certain way to ensure it.

Angleshooting is going out of tracks and… well, shooting from angle (since you are off tracks).

The point is, in perfect game, so like we sit in front of each other in real, playing mafia, blindfolded with ear plugs at night, speaking at day ect. stuff like timestamps are not possible, hence… this is angleshooting.

Timestamps were never intended to influence the game, yet they do.
That’s the problem.

Then it becomes a He said / She said screaming match. The evidence should be looked at, not the loudest screamer.

I’m trying to prevent this from happening. Leaving an open door to burglary rather than closing it is asking for you to be robbed.
Why are we allowing that with the angleshooting rule? Why do I need an example if it can happen?

Hosts need to be able to adapt considering social games have a lot of avenues to break

Because thinking that there would be no repercussions for being an actually corrupt host just because they are “technically” correct is naive.

Yeah, and even closing your door doesn’t stop people from robbing your house does it?

Are you asking to be robbed for not having an ultimate defense system

Okay.

From now on, any person caught using information which would not be possible in “perfect” game. So using stuff which are outside of game design will be punished by 1 month blacklist from forum games.

The end.

This way we will ensure every person will be punished, instead of leaving it in hands of hosts to decide.
Door closed.

This isn’t angleshooting. Quickhammering can be easily avoided by not putting a player at L-2 so early.

This isn’t angleshooting either. This was basically the village not deciding to play at MyLo.

Depends if it’s in-thread or not. If someone posts the moment a player was bled and this is noticed, then this is not angleshooting. If you go check if a player was online the last n hours before the bleeding to conclude they can or cannot be the Assassin/CL, then that is angleshooting.

As long as you don’t take info from outside the thread, it’s kosher.
