We can make this world more perfect by not allowing Townies to edit.
I think that’s the point some people are making.
If you make a coding error, just copy/paste it, fix it, and post it again.

Yes, that’s correct. The board sends an e-mail the first time a subscribed thread is updated since you visited any forum on the board.
I think **AR **is saying that the NETA approach still leaves the original post in tact. So there is a difference between clarifying a post that we can all still see and editing a post in a way that prevents us from seeing the original text. In my opinion, a slip is not a spelling mistake. A slip is saying/implying that you know something that you shouldn’t know if you are town. Using NETA isn’t as likely to get you out of a slip (when we can all still see what was written) versus being able to remove the slip entirely.
If someone edits and they say “I was just fixing a spelling mistake”, it leaves room for suspicion.
However, I do agree that setting a policy vote because someone edited is a very easy out for scum. As I said before, I don’t think an edit would make me vote someone automatically but it may add to the suspicions I may already have about someone.
most wonderful.
now we can add the edit/don’t edit discussion forum to the beginning of the game.
is it time to move on to lynch millers as a policy? or do we want to open the can or worms on how to differentiate between a lurker and a non participant? and then what in the world do you do with them?
just asking is all folks. i am real flexible.
You could comment on my post #214, peeker. That wasn’t about editing.

what observation would you have me make?
are we going down the handshake path again?
now eat the asparagus.
that really wasn’t as clear as i hoped.
i just can’t see cookies dropping a bomb that she and/or others has received their “full role pm” when in fact i see no evidence to indicate that.
Not at all. I’m just wondering, did other people have the idea that Scum got their role PMs already? Because I got that idea, and accepted it for some time, solely based on what Cookies said in post #137 and Natlaw’s immediate agreement with her. I don’t know if it’s a valid point of suspicion pointing to Cookies having too much information or what. It may not be the greatest point to hang a discussion on, but it seems to me to be more interesting than talking about editing.
In post #210, cookies gently teased me that suggesting I had not yet received a role PM might be me trying to subtly push the idea I was town. But when I went back to look, I saw that she was the only one who’d suggested that Scum had already received their PMs. I know that’s a really big mistake to make, but we’ve seen that Scum make mistakes some times. So I’m wondering, was that a mistake on cookies part, or am I just too wired up?
Neta: mistake on cookies’ part.
forgot the apostrophe

i don’t think any of us have received our “full role pms” (or at least i haven’t).
also, knowing story i can’t see him doing something like that. but shoot, meh, who knows.
but i do appreciate the enthusiasm.

you should have just edited the original post.

I was going to weighin saying it was obvious that Cookies just meant PM note role pm, but then, Cookies only said some PM’s. Surely we ALL have a PM, it’s just actual roles that we are waiting on?
Could be suspicious, could be a simple misspeak.
Yes, because I really wanted another 20-30 posts on that topic.
and i am kind of ambivalent about your second observation. which game was it where the scum posted to the main thread outing two of them?
I am not saying that doesn’t happen, just that it is the exception rather than the rule. Also scum rarely does anything without thinking. After this whole discussion it is much more likely that a townie will carelessly hit the edit button than scum. And I say that as someone who got killed as scum once because I carelessly edited a post.
So, if I’m following this correctly, any editing of my posts will put me under suspicion.
And if I’m under suspicion, then the mafia are less likely to kill me at night.
Therefore, given that I’m nearly always murdered in the first few nights, I should be looking to edit as often as possible.
On the other hand, now that I’ve said this, they’re going to kill me anyway, aren’t they? :smack:

Well, I don’t have any other basis for a suspicion, so for now it’s going to have to do. It’s not very good, but it’s all I’ve got.
So I guess I’ll kick it off. My first vote ever in Mafia, probably to be regretted.
vote Cookies
Psst, I don’t think that the voting period has started yet Oy!
Oh, well, so much for my first vote…
now eat the asparagus.
Would you like some potatoes to go with your veggies?
