Attention People, your Moderator has a quick announcement to make...
The past Day started off the great Save Elrond campaign with the Phantom asking Elu Ancalime to explain his vote for Elrond.
Now, in the past couple games, the moderators had requested that all votes be accompanied by some sort of rationale- a rule put in place to stimulate debate.
When I set up this game, I deliberately didn't put any such rule in place. After all, the fun here is the alliances and the arguments and the petty squabling and revenge- right?
Well, maybe or maybe not.
This is, don't forget, a Tolkien-based game. So, I would like to see, if possible, some reasoning, preferably Tolkien-based, no matter how illogical or distorted, to accompany your votes.
This does not mean that votes without a rationale will necessarily be disqualified. As the day just ended shows, a little bit of lack of reasoning CAN stimulate debate and make for an awesome day.
However, just to make it quite clear, if the Moderator (that would be me) so desires, he can and possibly will, disqualify votes lacking a reason- votes such as Elu Ancalime made yesterday.
I might, or I might not. To vote without a rationale, therefore, is a gamble. I advise doing so with caution.
Thank you, you may return to the search for the lovely Amanda.
