If someone is allowed to kill you, then you're allowed to kill them. That's basically your line of thinking.
If killing were exclusively a competitive game, yes. But it's generally not a game, so not really.
shut up about "advantages" and shit.
Lol, "please shut up about one of the primary basis by which we hold things as cheating in a game independent of it "breaking the rules" Sure, I'll do just that.
Everyone can do it, but that doesn't mean they should.
You're saying that "everyone is allowed to do it, so it's fine".
No it's not. That's not how this works.
But that is, in part, how it works for games, particularly when it comes to whether or not something is cheating.
What I'm saying is that you should not be able to edit or delete posts at all. It's the mentality of "either everyone can do it, or no one can do it", and I'm saying no one can do it.
And, again, why should no one be able to do it? Remember, you claimed it's cheating regardless of whether it is against the rules. As always I invite you to illustrate that, which you have yet to do.
Stick-em on the hands in football is against the rules. If it were not, it's use would not be "cheating". It was banned because it was seen as allowing people to accomplish what would otherwise be outside the realm of natural human capability.
But given that football is an athletic sport, that is actually relevant. We are already outside the realm of natural human capability already, being on well, the internet. If mafia we being played "realistically" it would be in person and there would be little to no recording of what's discussed.
You are bitching about how editing or deleting posts is not realistic, while ignoring that same logic applies to the playing of the game on a forum itself. Mafia realistically would not have recorded discussions to look back on over time, and you would have short time periods to decide. This style of play intrinsically ruins how the game would be "realistically" played as is. Appeals to "realism" are irrelevant.
