Great to see you around, Sleepy.

Then we just sit and wait for players to pop up from nowhere...

For my game, it will probably be after Sleepy's, i might even merge it with the regular werewolf, but i have devised a new function, the Safety Vote

The Safety Vote basically is that in (maybe) the first 5 days/nights or so, villagers that have not posted at all could be given a saety vote, which is a one time use. allowing them to be saved by being lynched(only lynched). I thought of this mainly because you never know what is going to happen, a family member may be at the hospital, you may have tons of homework or just unable to get to a computer. So to make the game last longer and more funner for the vilalgers, i think that a Safety Vote, if approved by some other people, might be implemented into my game(for sure) and maybe future games.

Well, I personally would not wish to add anything that might encourage members to be silent. This safety vote can easily be abused on a day that you would normally be under a lot of pressure or suspicion. Sure, there is always something that can come up, but I’d rather treat that as either tough luck or – in case of something more serious – I don’t think your focus would be on the game anyway.

It can be harsh to lose the game due to real life circumstances (and I know, just look at what happened in the phantom’s game), but on the other hand, it can often go wrong due to no (clear) fault of your own and I think it’s in the interest of the quality of the game to keep it fun for the group, not for every separate individual.

But I’ll stop talking now and let you plan your own game!

I'm still in for a game whenever one gets started.

Eonwe · 01-10-2006, 02:23 PM

You can put me down, seeing as the other started without me.

Gil-Galad · 01-10-2006, 05:34 PM

well i was also thinking for the first day, if this person hasn't said any thing at all, then the safety vote will apply, but if they posted some things then they've entered the game and thus the safety vote no longer apply's to them

Well, I rather like the safety vote idea, especially at this time of year. Exams are coming up and there will be people studying like mad for them. But, do what you want, it's your game.
