By making everyone a tyrant it will allow no one to be one.

I think space battles would be quick, massively destructive and ultimately frightening. They would involve fleets flying at each other and when they get close enough firing off masses of missiles and hoping they come out unscathed. Any hit on a ship would likely completely destroy it, meaning tiny ships would me the most likely way for battles to happen.

Because it is a pentagram! The pentagon is all you can see of it, though.

« on: January 05, 2011, 03:55:47 pm »I have a suggestion to the original problem, if possible: Give thread creators the power to delete the posts of other people in their thread (replacing it with "this topic has been deleted by topic moderator" or even to lock a topic for a specific user. Abuse of this power is unlikely, since nobody who overuses it is likely to draw much conversation.
I know this was a fair while ago and the discussion has sort of moved on, but I really had to address that this is just a really bad idea that is rife with abuse potential. I don't like the power to lock threads that thread creators already have for the same reason, let alone the ability to delete posts.
I disagree, I think letting thread creators have greater power over the posts in the thread is a great idea, because it will delegate out the power and allow for derails to be stopped quickly. Also, it will mean less need for moderation by Toady, which is the point.

You believe this place will still exist in two years.
Hehe. I'm loving the story so far.
Long live Halltraded! (Though it sounds like it might be living at 1 fps soon.)
It would still be moving, and so playable, meaning it will be played.

I like the idea in the few above posts, or we could simply select a few other people to make full on moderators. That would take the weight of Toady and Threetoe and not require a vast new system to be imposed.
What is the big problem with one word posts? Do they simply [place to much strain on the server or something for the (lack of) content added?

Mafia / Re: Beginner's Mafia XVIII Game Over Scum Won! Happytown is now Scumville.
« on: January 05, 2011, 03:11:16 pm »
I was told I wasn't allowed to reveal what I found out while investigating. And yes, I realize that my strategy was totally useless, I am trying to do it different in the game I am in now, relax, I am totally new to mafia and am trying out various different plans. I acted like an idiot hoping people would see that as a sign that I would not have been able to cover for being scummy.

« on: January 05, 2011, 02:04:21 pm »Better still: cage trap filled with angry bears. It forces them to use their ammo, AND it involves angry bears! Because any time you can incorporate angry bears, it improves the plan.

I thought it had to do with Picard getting removed. This is dissappointing.
