What is the official ruling on "Thanking Posts" during a game of Mafia?
Generally speaking, don't do it. The game host has final say, and should probably explicitly state in the rules whether they allow it, but I would suggest assuming you shouldn't thank by default.

Hello, friends! A belated happy new year to everyone.
Please place me on the probation list, first off. I'll be awol for the next month or two, I predict. Second, I'd like to be skipped on Specialty for Dota 2 if my turn comes up, somehow. I'd also like to have someone replace me on Blind Hydra, if that's of interest to any prospective mods that would like to run it with Tanarin.
I can still review all non-specialty games, I think. I apologize to the mods of games I was in, and I honestly expected to come back swinging with school starting up (and my original schedule having nice, long breaks to push out mafia with).
If there are any setups I still need to give input on, but haven't, please shoot me a PM. I can also give feedback on the League if prodded. Should be back in good shape before the real League season begins.

I am here everyone! I had some issues with my allergies that put me in the hospital the last couple of days, but I am healthy again and here to help everyone!
EDIT:
Just so that everyone knows; the sub-forum is caught up to date and was also double checked for clarity.
So earlier today I was told by Void to throw up signups for the next specialty. I've done so, and there's been good interest. I'm now told by Iso that we already have a specialty running, Social Engineering II. I can't actually find the game anywhere, but that's besides the point. Should I close signups?
I'm fine waiting, but given the small size of the game and lots of interest (and also Iso's suggestion), figured it was best to ask what the course of action should be.
EDIT: I'm deducing that even mentioning the existence of Social Engineering II is potentially a bad idea, which would explain the confusion.
Seems like there's ample interest, enough for full set of players plus replacements - and Zionite's normal also closed with enough players. Combine that with the other specialty having been going on for a while, and being private and... I can't really see any problems that would arise, but *shrug*.
On behalf of the MTGS Mafia Council, I'd like to welcome everyone to the new MTGS Mafia Subforum!
Pleasantries aside, there seems to be a serious problem with the threaded PM system, and until this is addressed, the integrity of ongoing games may be compromised. Please direct all concerns regarding this issue to MTGS staff. I'll update everyone once I know more.

Yep... NOW you tell me. :/
(Already PMed the mod about it. I assume any consequence of what happens won't count against me, right?)
If you need access to your setup before it's transported, please seek out an Admin as they have access to the old one. ExpiredRascals in particular handles most of the mafia stuff.

Got a heads up from site staff that the new PM system or site changeover is causing folks to be able to see conversations on which they were/are originally an addressee.
Going forward, I'm guessing the fix will be to individually PM players (unless they're each supposed to see everything) to avoid this. Folks are checking into other possible solutions as well. More info as we get it.
I would probably quit Mafia if we were at 70 ppp. I frequently browse on my phone and anything over 15 barely loads, often times out, and makes me find my eyes glazing over before I'm even close to done reading the page.
And correct, we can not currently implement user-based ppp.

On Mobile I really dislike it being over 20. On desktop it's not a huge deal, but I still prefer the 20-50 range. It's easier for me to keep track of posts that way.

Anything below 40 PPP is just too hard to browse on a desktop as their is too much page flipping which can make it hard when doing reviews. I really enjoyed 60 PPP from before, but I am willing to compromise at 40 PPP.
I think some of the 15 and 20 PPP suggestions, while they are best for mobile, are just unreasonable for desktop use.
I never browse with a mobile device, and my previous personal setting was 40ppp. I would love to have 40ppp back, primarily because it's just easier to scroll up to catch a recent comment than to load the last page. However, I'm starting to get used to 25, so any setting between 25 and 50 would probably be fine by me.
Oh God! The math that would be involved! People who do post number recaps instead of quotes would become even more annoying. I am having an anxiety attack already...
Serious question: Would it be possible to have a mobile version of the site with a lower PPP while this version would have a higher PPP? (Hell I would consider making a mobile site in general considering it seems like well over 50% of the complaints I am seeing is how bad the new site is on mobile)
Seconded Guardman's suggestion for a mobile version that has differing PPP settings.
As for the question: I am exclusively a desktop user. My preference for PPP is as high as we can set it (I'd honestly like 100 myself), but I'd rather not set it sky high and drive away all of the mobile users.

I don't have any hard numbers on this, but I'm targeted more often than a black guy driving a beat-up sedan with a broken tail-light and no license plate, and Cy's well aware of that.
I think 40-50 desktop and 15-20 mobile would be a great solution if we could make a mobile version of the site. Which is pretty badly needed at this point IMO.

Would like to reiterate this.
Also, when is the next League game going to fire?

There was talk in the FTQ discussion that assumed MMM would fire. Can I get a ruling on this soon so I can fire it or not?
I do apologize for this inconvenience.
I'm waiting on the Council to decide on this matter before another Sign-Up thread goes up.
EDIT: Expect signups to be delayed until the threaded PM issue has been addressed.
Pleasantries aside, there seems to be a serious problem with the threaded PM system, and until this is addressed, the integrity of ongoing games may be compromised. Please direct all concerns regarding this issue to MTGS staff. I'll update everyone once I know more.

We're able to set up a subforum wide PPP setting, and trying to get a feel for how high we can go without messing too many people up.
I take this to mean that it's not possible as of yet to implement individualized user-set PPP?
And correct, we can not currently implement user-based ppp.

Correct, and because standardized PPP is being used for caching purposes, user-set PPP isn't on the horizon.

Let's be different. Let's go 37ppp.
