If you keep tabs there go delete the entries and move your notes somewhere else...:eek:

Also, if you PM multiple people. they can now see who else you PMd. Something to keep in mind, mods.

If you see someone with stuff in their journal concerning Mafia, be sure and PM them right away so they know about it.

And if you're in a game with them, you should also PM the mod immediately, letting them know what happened.


That being said, try not to go looking through people's journals. I know that's easier said than done, but don't do it. You will ruin the games you are in, if you do.

However, there is a BCC option when you send the PM. This should keep them from seeing the other names in the PM.

Agreed, at least in this manner.

I'd like to thank the multiple people that pmed me about this and Mags for pointing out the change in pms.

I'm kinda annoyed by the change myself as looking at my journal is essentially the same thing as reading my mind when it comes to these games but at least I deleted all the entries fast enough.

By the way, I'm apparently not authorized to remove my own blog entries. :rolleyes:

Glad I keep everything in Word and pms.

What is BCC?

Blind Carbon Copy.

Sends the message to the person, but their name won't appear on the list of recipients.

Ah.

That seems like an overflashy name to me.

CC's and BCC's have been used for e-mails since forever. Not like HCR just invented it.

Typhon just said:

We're also about to turn on "Who's looking at this thread" ... so Player Groups can ensure that people looking at the forum are actually members; and see who's reading the same content as you are. It's pretty load intensive, so we're holding off on it until next week.

This will bring changes to mafia. If someone is not answering your question, you know exactly when they are reading the thread. It will be much easier to find people trying to blend and those that were silenced.

Do we predict this will be a good or bad change?

Your opinion is wrong.

I'm not sure, but I do think it will change how some people play/some games are played.

I didn't even notice we had that now. Sweet, no problems on the pm front then.

Which is what, 40% of the game? Very happy that we maintain that option.

Because, you know, heaven forbid if you had to send the same PM twice instead of doing it at the same time. ;)

If HCRealms becomes too difficult to play mafia on, someone should create Waituntilten.com

The 60 seconds between pms rule has always been like a little knome laughing at me. "Haha! You have to wait another minute to open up your game. Oh! And now you have to wait ANOTHER minute. BWAHAHAHA." :laugh:

:cry:

But thanks to your observation, I saved myself a minute or two. :p

Oh, I hate that. I don't know what to do in the breaks between PMs. Do I get something to eat?! Do I stay at the computer?!

My dial-up is so slow that by the time it has finished sending, I only have 3-13 seconds left to wait.

I am not clear how that will be. When i am silenced I still read over the thread as would someone trying to just glide by

I know, that's my point. If someone is reading the thread and not posting, they are most likely the silenced player and not one of the other non-posters.

At the bottom of every thread, it now tells you everyone who is currently reading it.

Well one solution for mafia note and usig the Blog is to save the post as a draft and publish it after you are done.

Typhon's "New features" thread today is the first I even knew that there was a draft mode for saving blog posts.
