Bad idea. Then you're taking away from the village's choice of who to lynch. Also, you'd be taking it away from the villagers' chances of finding a wolf. Wolves are rarely non-participants.

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I meant in conjuction with the daily lynch, not in place of it. Like Diamond's Mod-fire from heaven. SMITE BUTTONS!

Precisely as Roa said.

In all previous scenarios in which Mods have removed non-players from games, they have been killed together with those being lynched for the day. It does not supercede the villager's right to choose (to use a potentially loaded term).

Ultimately, there is NO way to ensure a completely noisy village. Even the Phantom's "by invitation only" game saw Lhunardawen killed arbitrarily (the same day I was lynched) due to real life circumstances that completely prevented her from being on a computer.

The impression that Quiet = Innocent is not always correct, though. Loki is correct in stating that wolves are NORMALLY not quiet, but Alcarillo in Valier's WWJ (J:VII) game proved that 100% wrong. He survived almost to the very end on being quite quiet. He also did it in my very first game, Holbytlass's (WW: XI). Alcarillo probably posted a maximum of twice a day, with maybe two paragraphs, either of those games. It wasn't a lack of time. It was a ploy.

I think perhaps Loki since you seem to have much to say about it why don't you mod your own game with all your own rules and stipulations and see how many people will play. That would give you the chance to do it anyway you want.

I would suggest playing in a few more games and obeying their Mods rules and then try it for yourself. Modding is not always easy especially in a large game with many rules.

You didn't take it out of context, but I would like to point out for future posterity that I misunderstood what Roa had said. It's a bad idea because I had thought that she meant IN the villagers' vote, and that would be used to lynch quiet players instead of anything else.

Formendacil-- I'm aware. However, two posts per day is not outside of reasonable bounds. That's clever. Unfortunately, 5 posts in two weeks in utter nonsense. I'm looking at you, Eonwe. Naria played the quiet game. Alcarillo played it quietly. I get your point, but I do not change my opinion. There is a difference between five posts and eleven posts. Like 220% a difference.

Now quit bringing this topic up, I've said my peace, and you know my opnion. I'm not going to address it again.

Will do, Valier. We both know how many people will join, though. Look for the thread.

Be aware Loki there is a list for Mods though. I am not sure who is on it and in what order. I am sure someone could fill you in. You must put your name down and wait your turn, but this always gives you lots of time to think up what you would like to do as in theme, rules, roles etc...

As Valier says, you should check out this thread. Where there are already people waiting in line to mod the next game.

Plus with 2 games going on (or one that is about to start in a few days) I doubt you'll get the number of players you are looking for.
