Proposal to Policy Lynch Players Who Are Disrupting the Game as Meta
I’m proposing a meta to policy lynch players who are intentionally throwing, detracting from the game, or otherwise functioning as a net negative to the town. This does not mean policy lynching someone who is lying, or policy lynching someone who refuses to claim or is not telling the truth. There are obviously sometimes valid reasons for that. Instead, I’m using RMS's behavior from the last game as an example of when a policy lynch is necessary. There were 30 pages of posts, 70% of which were fluff and not game-related. There were very little actual reads, just OMGUS, continual spam, and discussions about religion and how he was a victim. The issue is that this type of behavior clogs up the game and makes it unenjoyable to participate in. It becomes nearly impossible to keep up with, and it fucks over the town, because they’re forced to sift through all the spam, making it easy to miss important game-related information. When this type of behavior is present, the player needs to be policy lynched (not banned) even if it costs town the game. If it continues and never stops, then we can blacklist the player. This gives them a chance to remediate their behavior and lets the mafia community take a stand against someone hijacking the game with game terrorism. These policy lynches should not be AI, and should be agreed upon by a majority of people in the game.
