I've run one game and yes, exactly what Tomorrow said, silencing dead players essentially removes them from the game completely. I certainly still read the thread (at least the ending), but I am less likely to follow it as thoroughly.
It's also lame since the same players seem to die early repeatedly.
Is there any way we can concurrently have a discussion/brainstorm about participation? Almost every game, people sign up that don't really participate, and it just less fun.
Completely agree about participation. I understand we all have different schedules and different amounts of time we can spend, but I don't get those who sign up and say nothing (except voting).
One of the problems is that's it is hard to regulate. How would we determine
what's not enough?
