Low WIM is a necessary evil that comes with hosting gigantic games over and over again with no break between
Big games should be an outlier rather than a standard part of the experience
Because ānot being heardā results in low post counts from each player
itās much easier to lose wim in a big game

Perhaps this is why all of my most shit performances besides fol 19.5 have been in huge games
Itās not expected from the players to play in every single game. Especially in 24P games and whatso
The issue is that this forum has developed a stigma of being THE place for mechanically complex mashes. IMHO our mashes are often more mechanically complex than anywhere else on the entire internet.
With people like alice and others, now everyone wants to get in on things and design their own mash with flavour they love
Im . . . not really sure how we can try to counter this stigma tbh.
I started playing here because HPM stopped hosting games and this is the only other place I know that hosts role madness~y games + forum is just good
Some players here, I wouldnāt want to play vanilla with to be frank
if people excessively slank over multiple games, thatās a cause for blacklist
there are no other overarching rules that should be implemented by the mods
hosts can have mandated levels of activity
this forumās done great, non-mash, non-vanilla, non-sfol medium sized setups like ritual mafia, auction mafia, BfA, Iciās games, Jgoesā games, and more.
imho mashes should not always dominate over those
Geydeās right. Widespread WiM parchment might be inevitable if there keep being tons of mashes very fast?
I mean obviously
but I donāt think having so many mashes is a bad thing
I think itās on the players, not on the amount of games per month
I agree. Regardless itās hard tho.
Tons of players look up to a few that have a seemingly limitless ability to play and multitable everything well, constantly.
P sure most do not have this ability.
Itās definetly not something everyone has
Burnouts are pretty common and you donāt usually want your players to burnout from mafia

This is called strategic replacing out and therefore against the rules.
If you donāt think you will have enough wim as every alignment, just donāt play, or try at least your best
i think what priestess is saying is that if you sign up for a game, it should indicate a willingness and psychological ability to actually play the game (which is why the new replacements policy is good).
if I can be privately blacklisted without it being posted publicly in the thread, and without it being publicly confirmed unless i attempt to join something, thatās something iād consider?
But I doubt anyone would be comfortable with being published for eternity in the moderation logs due to a self-made request for mental health purposes.
so 
which i think isnt unfair
i think this is a bit narrow sighted though and doesnāt fully consider why someone would lose WiM over the game

Think of it kind of like that dumbledore on the locket lake island scene in half blood prince (i give a request, you never relent on that even if i ask later [once i start drinking the metaphorical poison of FM withdrawal])
really see no reason why it would need to be published publicly in the logs. It also is fairly humiliating for someone who just asked for mental healthās sake and never did anything to earn a spot there to be published there. I think this factor would cause everyone to turn away from this option of requesting a blacklist. The humility just isnāt worth it.
Pls consider my proposal and then respond to me, ty
