I fear I would not have to be pressed hard.
How about I do Deputy Mod until someone shows up to claim their rightful place, and if no one does before the start of the game I'll go on modding.
And as such, I think we need to get consensus on a few points before Monday hits us.
The first is roles and numbers.
Formy, I think you are missing
Boro from your list, he posted in
Rikae's thread. Maybe let's confirm that -
Boro, BG, and Soriman - you've all posted on the other thread, could you confirm you still want to play? I trust
sally will be there, though I would not yet put bets on her being there quite on D1.
With only 9 people, I think 2 baddies is tops. Following "worst case scenario" numbers, 2/9 baddies brings endgame on D3, whereas 3 of them bring it on D2, and that's just too soon. One or two gifteds? If there is only one Gifted, which one? I vote against Hunter, that one just brings the numbers down too much in a single strike for such a small game. Ranger or Seer?
Then, what happens to the dead. A Dead Thread is a must. ^.^ But should they have a role in the game. Are they allowed a vote on the living thread? Do they send a Ghost to haunt the living? And what is their objective in doing so, phrased in such a way that being a dead wolf wouldn't be terrible existence?
Since the games of last summer, I've been mulling over ways to unite the DT in a common cause which lets everyone actively participate on equal footing. What I came up with is this: the Dead hold a grudge at being killed, and take petty revenge by seeking to make as many people as possible join their ranks - ie their goal is to get the Living Thread to reach endgame. That way, its support is always given to the "losing" side, whichever that may be, regardless of the Dead's former roles. However, I'm not sure how that would integrate with the Ghost in practice - what
is the Ghost in practice? - and I think the Ghost should see a test run here.
...So, basically, any thoughts on what are the actual rules of the game? Thoughts on the Ghost and DT responsibilities.
And a few minor things that also must be sorted before the start:
Deadline preference? I live in GMT-4. Though in the next 2-3 weeks my schedule is flexible, please be kind and don't ask for 4am local time.
Preference on tied votes? Many people hate the first-to-reach-tie, some hate the last-to-reach-tie, opinions differ on both or none options. Given that this is a small game, would it make more sense to have neither party lynched? Certainly not both. What do you guys think?
That was a much longer post than I intended. But really, I think it's good to figure out what game we're playing before the start date.
