Night will end in 48 hours, at 12:01 AM on June 4th.
As an aside to those of you who have stuck through with this: I'm so sorry I haven't given you all proper treatment, and when I was picked from the lottery I should have stepped aside. This past month or so have been rather trying and I should have known better than to sign on to mod a mafia game. I hope you're still having some fun, and I am deeply sorry for the rough patches. I'm not normally this sloppy, and this game has suffered a lot because of how I've been handling it.

The game is suffering from a lack of participation, not delays in moderation. The inactivity combined with an apparently witch-aligned judge is killing us, quite literally, but I'm still having fun being completely lost flailing around in the dark waiting for the inevitable.

The judge is 100% witch. This blows big big time.

Paranoia serious question....
Is there any hope of getting subs or mod killing the inactives or something. There is no way for town to continue here and be successful. We had a consensus of all active players that checked in and still failed.
With no penalty for not posting or abstaining the witches are probably sitting back laughing at us at this point

... an apparently witch-aligned judge is killing us, quite literally, but I'm still having fun being completely lost flailing around in the dark waiting for the inevitable. I appealed already for Players to state that Village concedes if the Judge is a Witch, and asked Mods to heed that. Would my fellow Villagers also resign if sure the Judge is Witch?I don't want to be unsportsmanlike, but I'm willing to resign in any event since Judge is playing decidedly anti-Town. If we do continue the game, can we please switch to a shorter cycle? Perhaps 3 day / 1 day instead of a 5 day / 2 day cycle?

I would not be willing to resign before halftime. I still have hopes we can turn this thing around with the roles that activate at the half.

Hey guys, please remember that there is no public communication during night. Consider this a final warning; thanks!

I'm fine with letting things play out. I also have been apparently under the transposed impression that this was Choco Pi's game and Paranoia was helping to co-mod. Sorry about that. I'm totally unfamiliar with this game set-up but halftime seems to be quite pivotal to the balancing, I think we should see it through.

With no penalty for not posting or abstaining the witches are probably sitting back laughing at us at this point I've been trying through various sources, but a lot of people I know seem to be suffering from mafia burnout, and there's a question of if I can even get them to sub in late game. I'll keep trying, and I hope things can pick back up.

I'd also be onboard with a shorter D/N cycle. It's gotten a bit painful to watch.

I'm not normally this sloppy, and this game has suffered a lot because of how I've been handling it. I don't think there's been anything wrong with the moderation. Moderators shouldn't do much during a game, in general. The problems with this game are due to poor player participation for the most part. I think the rules set discourages participation. The lack of feedback via public reveals, for example, breaks the action-reward link for playing the game. And shushing the few active players from continuing to play the game, simply because it's Night is not helpful. But in the end, players need to play even if the rules are slightly sucky (by which I mean the rules are mostly very cool; it's only a few design decisions that are poor).

I agree with the others. This has NOTHING to do with the game or the Mods, It's all about people not participating making it hard to keep playing, and not throw in the towel. It seems to be rampant in the last couple of games I've played, and it's hard as a newer player to try and get a grasp on the game with the kind of games we have had lately.
