There were quite some inactives last time around as well, and with a lot of people signing up mid-game they might have forgotten all about it (it has been 2-3 weeks already for some).
So I believe some sort of activity confirmation is necessary.
Probably in the form of sending out the roles, and if one does not confirm their acknowledgment of the role within 48 hrs they should be removed and the role given to someone else.
However it's even better to just send a PM to everyone before the game and only leave them in for the role distributions if they reply affirmatively.
Agreed, and that is exactly what Tracil and his assistant did. Although 110+ PM's is quite a number.

Since I've already played mafia on a forum that excels at this (20+ seasons), it's really better to make a separate thread for each day and each voting. Close treads after day/voting ends, it's in fact easier to find them in the closed forum than in general, besides, no mess ups. Quoted for emphasis. This is a great idea.
That is what Tracil did also. One of the players suggested using different Blog pages for each day/night instead.

IOW, let's just save some time and agree that no PM = claim to be a towny. this idea makes no sense. No PM also means Mafia members just never have to worry about contacting me, and then they also know that not every townie has PM'd me so it's easier for them to just lay low and not get caught lying. If everyone has to PM me, eventually I'll catch some role clashes and some lies. It makes plenty of sense. A PM that says "Hi I'm townie", if everyone has to send it, tells you nothing more than no PM would. The starting assumption for everyone is that they are townie. Here, instead of a PM, I'll just tell you in the thread. I am a vanilla townie. (honestly, did that really tell you anything?)
I call mafia Townies can't be that dumb, right?!
Vigil get him gogo

Everyone just hush, and wait for Day to come. See who lives and who dies. Then wait for our detectives to check our mayor out.
After that point we continue to phase 2.
The Bodyguard plan would be carried out in the end anyways. As the majority of townies voted for him, it would be pointless if we would want to stop Ace's plan here, except for one case - Ace is proved to be mafia.
"Certain" individuals who oppose Ace's plan at this early stage of the game, even after fellow players who tried to explain the logic to him yet "failed", really looks suspicious to me.

Yep, like hacking into TL's system and check all PMs for roles
OK, all jokes aside, the answer would be no.
However, we should be more logical. Like I said, Day hasn't even come yet, nor did any Detectives are able to check Ace yet. It's kinda pointless having arguments when things didn't even happen yet.
A good example is that people were already debating against each other before Chuiu even sent out PMs for roles.

All elements aside, just this specific case as an example.
If I were Mayor and Mafia, I could fake a claim that I got roleblocked so I don't use my double lynches.

I'll go ahead and assume he isn't mafia until I'm told otherwise from a reliable source.
Oh I know its effective if the Mafia used it right. I'm just explaining the possible reasons to clazziquai of why a fellow mafia would role block a fellow mafia mayor. To decieve the townies.

Seems like the potential mafia approve of this plan! They are QQing!

I liked the bodyguard plan but this is a sign of desperation. Yeah, guys let's make this game even more cheap! Lets have everyone pm their roles so we know who's lying! Seriously, if you want to keep this game fun, avoid cheap exploits like that. Perhaps you didn't see what happened in the last game; it was a worse rape than the OSL finals. The town needs to get it's act together this time, and start making a comeback. Also, the plan isn't that bad. It gives a known townie information, which always helps, and he can use that to reduce the odds of hitting town instead of mafia. I saw perfectly what happened. However this time people are no longer n00bs and are really into it. If you read some of the posts, some people claimed to have spreadsheets of people's names, sigs, possible themes, who they accuse, and who they voted for. The town doesn't need a cheap-ass strategy like this one. This game is supposed to be about fun, not just winning. Same thing with chess, there is a strategy called fools-mate that allows you to win in like three turns. However, most people would rather play an actual game then to fool their opponent into losing so quickly. The reason? It's a game, it's supposed to be fun and challenging. errrr...actually the reason most people don't lose to that is because if you can see it coming (and usually from the first move you can) it's pretty easy to stop. (unless you're thinking of something else) Anyways, it kinda sounds like someone's just sore that mafia is gonna lose ...hmmm? Also if we were doing anything illegal I'm sure Chuiu would've just stopped us, and it's not like this strategy is insta-win (far from it). If mafia is even slightly clever they'll be able to get around this.
Exactly the point, hence my post above yours, haha

Re-read your own post again.
You think it makes sense?
Hey, I know you want to double-up your million dollars. Just give your money to me and I'll do it for you. No worries, I'll tell you how I'm going to do it once I get your money!
Ha, I beat your ninja edit.

Fishball was stricken with fear, he got on his knees and begged for their mercy.
My ass! I would crush one of the guys skull on the wall with one hand, and snap the other guys neck with the other.
I call BS!

What he mean is, there was no password for the channel to begin with. Anybody could have walked in.
It was Showtime! who said there was no password, so nobody is lying here, and Araav is not the one to blame also.

I'm not allowed to say anything that is game effecting, such as analyzing clues, pointing out suspects, etc.
My post above is just pointing out the obvious for people who didn't read through entirely. Enough with the insults and "accusing" already. Not to me, but to other fellow players as a whole in this thread.
If you were in the first game, you would've seen I've posted a bit even after I died.

I keep thinking of Schindler's List when you guys say Mandalor's list -_-
