The "I was only tenth place spammer" argument is irrelevant as none of us other townies spamming had any real idea what was going on until we realized and decided (as a team) to try and chill the post counts. DRey couldn't stop himself.
Also, if I was in the game I would have pushed for a DRey lynch as it looked TERRIBLY scummy and because of his lynch the town lost.
I didn't realize this was being discussed here and I already made a post in the game thread that kinda relates to this issue. Check it out here
I threatened to spam my way to 1000 posts all by myself out of sheer frustration with the role, so I personally don't think he should be punished for spamming, but then I'm hardly a neutral party in this.
As far as his behavior/playstlyle where there is the accusation that DRey more or less gave up and was playing to lose, I will need the time to actually read the setup and the related post section.
I feel that this is the crux of the issue; the major factor here is whether DRey was deliberating sabotaging his team or if he was simply a misguided townie.
We will discuss this matter, but until we have reached a decision, I think we have enough information on the topic for the time being. Thanks to everyone who came forward with their input.
In my mind, I wasn't playing against my team. All I knew was that for some reason, people didn't want to activate their abilities and I viewed activating our abilities as our best chance for winning. I posted my true thoughts in the thread. No reviewer in their right mind would/should approve a setup where one side is punished for doing exactly what their role pm encourages them to do. The only exception to this rule is bastard setups which should be announced beforehand because bastard roles are ONLY fun to play when you know in advance that you have one.
Who do I gotta harass to get posting permissions in the setup archive?
I just had the same issue. -I applied to the "Mafia Mods" group in my user control panel, explaining that I needed archive access, and that did the trick quickly.

It's not like that. Nobody's posted in the group since we talked about the previous round, likely due to Az's absence.
I know there are at least four games in the running, though (the four runners-up from last time). I'll post something in the group to try to get the ball rolling.

Nope, just mine and zindabad's.

Yeah, it's a pretty big group. It's been around since the first FTQs.
I suspect, looking at the membership list, we should get some more people involved (a fair portion of the membership are people I can tell don't play much or at all anymore - people like LJustus, Axelrod, bateleur, etc.), but I always saw the group as Az's/the Council's project, so don't look at me.

I think there's too many games going on simultaneously considering summer lull and extra games, why don't this FTQ gets delayed a bit until the league or the CCM ends?

The game is not being dumbed down. Control is doing fine; Draw-Go is not the only kind of control. Aggro is doing fine; Red Deck Wins is not the only kind of aggro. Creature combat is an important core concept and belongs in every color. Mythic rarity is not destroying the game. People whine too much for no good reason. Magic is more popular than ever, so keep calm, brew some decks and play some damn cards.

Again, all kinds of people come out of the woodworks for FTQs. I think a lot of the problem with KCC is that some of the players don't recognize her as TFF (due to the username change) and because she hasn't modded many games in the past (correct me if I'm wrong).

@Iso: FWIW, I love FTQs, PCQs, and all sorts of interesting games. If an FTQ were to be accepting sign ups soon, I probably wouldn't sign up. Most of the players who are active right now are already in 2-3 games. I know it's not my place to tell you how to do your job, but I personally would wait until a couple of games are over.

I disagree. Even when games are having difficulty filling up, people always come crawling out of the woodworks for the FTQ.
And that's exactly my point, thanks for agreeing. Players do come out of the woodworks for a FTQ (I know I did) because FTQs are awesome and that hurts all others games.

I disagree 100% with this, TFF game wasn't delayed because of his lack of "fame" but because there where three extra 24 players games running in a time the player base is less than usual (the summer lull term Eco coined).
In my opinion very few mods on this site do make a difference in how fast/slow the sign ups go (Zinda, Ged and Seppel? maybe there are others).
That being said, what's to stop another game from having difficulty filling afterwards once an FTQ fills up?
Strained player base?

Short Story - Kpaca and a few others got banned.
Long Story - Go to ER's helpdesk and CI to get a full update.
So far I am pretty sure Kpaca was the only mafia player to get hit (since CK doesnt play anymore) but if he was in even once game it would throw a wrench. And since I know that myself and at least one other are on the edge being ready to go out with a bang ourselves. There might be a few more needing help soon. (personally I plan to finish my active games but who knows what might develop that will make me take a giant pill of fukital and go off on those persons who need to get their heads checked)
Why don't you guys stop doing politics? "Going with a bang" will not hurt anyone but yourselves. Whatever the admins have done live and let go man.
EDIT: I know nothing about the situation, and simply put, I couldn't care less and I think you guys should do the same, you certainly have more things on your plate than discussion salvation's future.
EDIT2: Since one of my ongoing games is probably going to end in 24hours I can help replacing into any small game.

FWIW, I have replaced Yanni in Manders game and I am willing to replace kpaca in PF's game to get those games moving again. I can't do much about the League game since I am in it.

I stayed on this site after I got fired because I cared about its' future. That's changed now, and I do intend to leave as soon as I'm not involved in anymore games, but it is with a heavy heart, but a clear conscience.
As I have as much info as publically stated I'm not going to talk about the bans. I'll focus on the activities here in forum.
If everything stays put, we lose 1 player to banning and 3 to frustration with the forums. @mandershex: thanks for continuing to participate until the resolution of all games you are apart of. I appreciate it.
I really hope we can spur activity. On the limited experience here, as days go on, activity drops dramatically, to the point the game tilts one way or another. An example is basic #64, which was a good game and at no fault to the mod, the lack of activity hurt town as d2 hit a deadline nl, and d4 scum was basically the only active group. I understand rl happens but I do think we need to remember that these games can only work if we all put effort into them. With players like Void who are wiling to sub into these games is definitely helpful in these situations.
I would suggest (depending on how replacing players goes and how many are going to leave) that the number of active games decrease to help prevent overspreading of players present.
I understand again that this situation is having an effect on many veterans and I can see why they want to leave, but that means everyone here playing mafia have to take the extra step to keep our subforum afloat.
After I feel comfortable with the current state of games I'm in, I'll be able to replace (though it may only be one or two i can help due to beig in said games)

Okay so you don't know whats going on and don't care about it so I should? My home on mtgs is now empty and my friends here (a majority of them) have been banned. Please understand that these forums aren't fun for me and that's why I'm leaving.
I've never once threatened to leave or complained about leaving, but this was just too far.
Once my game I'm modding is finished I will be gone. Its been great guys as this was my second home on mtgs and I formed lots of friendships on this part of the forum.

I'm not the Council, but it should be modded by not Seppel.
Sorry, things have been a little disorganized with Azrael on hiatus and Ecophagy just returning from the same.
Vote zindabad (Sadly, I probably won't be able to play. :-/)

I know there are at least four games in the running, though (the four runners-up from last time). I'll post something in the group to try to get the ball rolling.

....the FTQ taking some of its potential players?
The FTQ isn't needed right now, and that is coming from someone in 0 games.
My wife was on MTV with this video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUutIZg2EpU

No one is saying it is your job we are just giving our opinions to the council.

I just think we're running an uncommonly large number of large(r) games right now.

That's bad, given that 3 games already need replacements, including the League games.

I stayed on this site after I got fired because I cared about its' future. That's changed now, and I do intend to leave as soon as I'm not involved in anymore games, but it is with a heavy heart, but a clear conscience.
Tired of corporate corruption ruining your favorite MtG site?
Come join ours!!
We even have Mafia!!
If everything stays put, we lose 1 player to banning and 3 to frustration with the forums. @mandershex: thanks for continuing to participate until the resolution of all games you are apart of. I appreciate it.
I really hope we can spur activity. On the limited experience here, as days go on, activity drops dramatically, to the point the game tilts one way or another. An example is basic #64, which was a good game and at no fault to the mod, the lack of activity hurt town as d2 hit a deadline nl, and d4 scum was basically the only active group. I understand rl happens but I do think we need to remember that these games can only work if we all put effort into them. With players like Void who are wiling to sub into these games is definitely helpful in these situations.
I would suggest (depending on how replacing players goes and how many are going to leave) that the number of active games decrease to help prevent overspreading of players present.
I understand again that this situation is having an effect on many veterans and I can see why they want to leave, but that means everyone here playing mafia have to take the extra step to keep our subforum afloat.
After I feel comfortable with the current state of games I'm in, I'll be able to replace (though it may only be one or two i can help due to beig in said games)

Okay so you don't know whats going on and don't care about it so I should? My home on mtgs is now empty and my friends here (a majority of them) have been banned. Please understand that these forums aren't fun for me and that's why I'm leaving.
I've never once threatened to leave or complained about leaving, but this was just too far.
Once my game I'm modding is finished I will be gone. Its been great guys as this was my second home on mtgs and I formed lots of friendships on this part of the forum.
Best of luck for everyone's future games!

Shark, I agree - the number of games should be decreased after some of them end.
