Don't confuse the moderator.

To clarify: That means if Eomer and Saucepan both have 6 votes, then the first of those two to reach 6 votes would be lynched, as opposed to the one who gained the very first vote out of all 12. Hmm?

Actually, I was thinking it would be the first one voted for that Day since it involves a greater tactical element. But it could be either, just as long as we're sure which it is before the game starts.

It's your call Holby. I think both are far preferable to mass lynchings.

I'd also make a plea to all Werewolf players; basically what (I think it was) Encaitare said during her game. Can we keep all talk of RL (that stands for Real Life) to a minimum? If we just remember that we sometimes can't make it onto the internet as much as we'd like, we won't need all these "I was working late so I couldn't post"-type notices in the post.

And another thing: Make no apologies for bloodlust! Unless it's in-character. What can I say? Bloodlust is fun and good. Thanks!

The problem is, Eomer, people may post their absences on the Werewolf admin thread but then players don't read that thread and you get a whole bunch of "where the hell is xxxx? This absence is very suspicious" type comments.

So when the absentee does get back online, and has a genuine excuse, it's only natural that s/he should point this out. I don't really mind RL stuff in moderation.
The tone they take often helps get a "handle" on the person involved, I think, particularly if I haven't encountered them much before on the Downs.

Sorry, I'm not even playing in this game, but I'm just making remarks in general.

I am strongly in favour of No Mass Lynching- and SPM's suggestion concerning tiebreakers sounds good to me (either way).

I favour Retractable Votes, but I'm willing to give those up in favour of No Mass Lynchings.

I'm with Eomer on this one.

My concern is that, while honesty is an obligation on the admin thread, "economy with the truth" is wholly permissible and, indeed, encouraged (for some roles, at least), on the game thread. I am against any suggestion that RL issues may be being used as excuses to cover Wolfish (or other) activity in the game. Even if they are not, the fact that something is posted on the game thread raises a reasonable suspicion in other players' minds.

All of those playing should keep an eye on this thread while the game is running. And I have nothing against a short, polite direction on the game thread to other players to look here in appropriate circumstances. Just as long as the excuse itself is stated on this thread, where there is a strict "no lying" rule.

As it now stands:
Mass lynching: 4 yeas, 6 neas

nonretractable votes: 9 yeas, 1 neas

with 5 people to hear from=PerkyEnt, Gil-galad, Alcarillo, Azaelia, Cailin (they are all probably in school)

~If no mass lynchings wins out, then in the event of a first place tie the person who received the first vote dies.

People, please, use your imagintions!

If a day happens were one had too much homework or your spouse was hogging the computer then make a statement in your post how your 'village' job kept you busy (ex: the pigeons escaped their cages and it took awhile to round them up, BTW-I'm the carrier pigeon girl) if it's something serious like an unexpected trip to granny's house or the kid has the flu then post it here in the admin thread.

I prefer no mass lynchings and non-retractable votes. Having either the first to reach the tied votes or the first to be voted both work in my opinion as long as we know which it'd be if it was one.

arcticstorm · 09-28-2005, 11:34 AM

HOlby, I think that you probably did not see my job earlier, and that is probably good, since I would prefer to change what I had earlier as my job to that of a preacher.
