How long do you think the day/night phases should last?
for forum mafia I'd say 48 hour days and 24 hour nights, gives enough time for accusations and responses at day and enough time to submit night actions at night. for real time mafia (such as Town of Salem or meat world) I'd say 2 minutes to 12 minutes depending on how much discussion is taking place is sufficient time for day, and 60 seconds if all actions can be submitted at once, or 30 seconds for each action if you need to do each action separately-

It depends on what the players want. Blitz deadlines of 48/24 can be great, but you see less of them here because they tend to be very hard on older players, whose work and family obligations make it near-impossible to keep up with those still in school. 3+ hours of play in one day is difficult but doable, but 3+ hours a day for 4 or 5 days in a week is impossible. I say 3+ hours because typically anyone spending less gets overwhelmed or shut out by higher activity players in those games.
The style of play and argumentation also develops very differently based off of the deadlines. Playing well while playing fast is a valuable skill, but longer deadlines can result in a level of polish to arguments and games that make them absolutely beautiful to read.-

this is the niche that we like that has worked for many people, with longer phases.
you are the same person who was talking about the L word stuff the other month - if you don't like how things are run around here you don't *have* to stay here. there are options that accept the things you want in games.retired

If people are this toxic outside of games here, I'd hate to see how toxic they are in gameIn post 2, DkKoba wrote:

and of course you have they/them pronouns. people like y'all are always self centered.-
