Suspension for leaving games

[ichenhamlish]

Hello! I've been suspended for a day for leaving games while alive. I don't do this. I never do this. I get mafia 30 times in a row and don't do this. I report every single person who does this, unless there is categorically no way for their team to win. The game is entirely pointless if people do this.
Please repeal my suspension! Thank you

Half the mafia left d1! You're absolutely right I left as well.

The way I see it, if 1 mafia leaves, the others can muddle on somehow. If 2 mafia leave, the game is over.

I'm very glad to see these reports have an effect considering how many I file but please reconsider this one. The game had already been thrown.
I've played this game since 2015 and always see a match through even if I get a role I don't like - I shouldn't be held accountable when my teammates won't extend the same courtesy.

Greetings,

leaving while alive is against the rules, regardless if others had already broken the rules. Mafia still had a chance to win, despite being two members down.

It's true that mafia still had a chance to win. If 2 mafia had been killed on the first night by a veteran or some other in-game force, as is common, then obviously the game would need to continue.
However 2 mafia left because they didn't like their roles. They threw the game. At that point the game is so out of balance for completely extraneous reasons that it no longer matters who wins or loses. It wouldn't determine which team played better so why continue?

One Mafia left because they got banned, as it seems according to the given chatlogs. Not sure about the other one.

[ichenhamlish]

Perhaps that was "WhitePowerMAGA" who got rightfully banned during name selection. As for the other one, I think it's safe to assume they just didn't want to play as mafia as people leave at the start all the time and generally they turn out to be mafia. (hence my lack of patience with it at this point)
Whatever the reason they left, we can say with certainty it had nothing to do with the game being played as the game hadn't started.
