you guys are great at talking
Although I understand why it's in place, I sort of blame the flower rule here. Posting is always a risky proposition in Mafia: you give other players ammunition to use against you. Everyone wants to see others post so that the game can move forward, but no one wants to post themselves. Sort of a tragedy of the commons thing.
On a regular day, the town can coordinate to punish inactivity and make sure that everyone posts... but with the flower rule in place we don't have a fair tool to punish inactives and everything goes quiet.
