Round 2

ROUND 2

Green tater: Deadly (fatal, lethal, murderous)
Judge: Nogrod

Everyone should have 7 still. If you deleted/don't know what you have, I've got the list of everyone's current red taters. So PM me and I'll send yours. Otherwise, PM with your choice in 24 hours.

Tally

the phantom - 1 (Honest)

Kudos to the phantom...


And then "deadly"...


Uhh... 24 hours until any action.

For possible future editions of the game I'd suggest considering the light multi-tasking of the judge thinking & the players making their possible arguments during the same 24 hour cycle people pick their choice for the next round - as the first is done publicly whilst the other is a PM job.

It shouldn't be too tough on anyone but the game would move on a bit faster.

Or then I should only learn to hold my horses.

This.

Noggie, maybe for the meantime you need a way to remind the players constantly that Nogrod is a place, not...whatever adjective you might prefer not to be associated with.

Nog, do you mean PM me the Round 3 selection as the Round 2 judging is going on?

Hmm...I had not thought about that, but since I have it planned and laid out in Excel, we could actually do that starting with the Round 2 judging tomorrow. (Assuming no one objects, because it would really cut down on this dragging too long. And it wouldn't be too much of a burden on anyone, since it is only send me a PM in 24 hours).

I think we'll go ahead and do that. When I open up the judging and post the options tomorrow, I'll also post the Round 3 word and judge. That way while the judging phase is going on and people are making arguments. You can also PM me your Round 3 choice. This would cut down on a lot of the wait, while still keeping it a fair amount of time for everyone to send in their choices.

Sound good?

Fine with me. It would indeed cut a lot of waiting time, and the game will be more efficient.

You can expect me to agree on the proposal Boro...

Anyway, for a normal player (not the judge on that round) it would mean needing to check in once in every 24 hours and send your pick for the next round by PM to Boro. Then it would be up to anyone if they wished to engage in the conversation on the ongoing round or not.

Although I think it would be nicer to have more of the conversation than on that first round - not perhaps more posts by individual players (I think I had three) but a wider selection, like most people saying at least something. I mean at least to me, that's the fun in this, not the selections in the end - or who wins - by themself.
