This is not up for debate. There's no reason one cannot combine all those one-liner posts into one or two posts. It is neither helpful nor condusive to the gamestate to mass post. It clogs the thread and demotivates players from checking in only to find (myself included) they're dozens of pages behind. Allow other players to catch up and participate. This is a game-wide warning.
Thank you.

I play a lot on my phone, and part of the reason I multipost is because I post as things come to mind. Thoughts don’t necessarily come to mind simultaneously, but in sequence, and trying to wait for those thoughts to crystallise so that they can be delivered as a block will lead to me sounding unnatural and make it harder for me to town tell, thereby actively working against my wincon regardless of what my alignment is
I’m trying to cut down on multiposting, but this feels to me like an attempt to force players to play the way you want them to, despite that not being made clear from the offset of the game.
If multiposting is now banned, okay, it is how it is. But I object to that change for the reasons outlined here
the game is a complete fucking joke
you go into the large theme queue, the most spammy queue on MS, with a FORTY player game, and then you say "NO MULTIPOSTING LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL"
first off, that doesn't even help. In high paced games, there are a bunch of people who are posting at once, and sure you can get people to wait their turn, but you're not slowing down the game any much more as you would there was multiposting going on. By saying "no multiposting" in the middle of the game, not only are you disrupting gameplay, but you are going to make a lot of your playerlist angry
second off, if you had this no multiposting rule as an actual rule in your game IN sign-ups, I PROMISE you your game would have not filled.
third, it is literally a 40 player game with 37 players alive. If you don't expect a fast pace where some players will mutlipost, I literally don't know what to tell you
Like honestly, what did you expect?
A slow 25 page game?
crying me a fucking river.
