I have been petitioned by a player via PM to restart the game because of the confusion over the exact nature of the PM-pairs (i.e. in what ways they are similar to traditional Lovers). My initial reaction is to just let the game play out, but ultimately I'm happy to do whatever you all would prefer.

So, what does everyone think? Since it's still early in the game, would you like to start over? I would reshuffle the roles, of course.

Let's continue as it is. Just my vote. We'll be able to deal with it for better or worse. Anyway the wind blows.

Starting again would be such an anticlimax.

But...but I already posted my song parody!

So, sort of make toDay into a Day -1? I wouldn't have thought of it, but if people were confused and, say, revealed as a wolf to their ordo!lover, then we'd probably better. Or revealed as a gifted to their wolf!lover. Either way, the game would be kind of tilted and not as much fun to play. I guess I'd say go ahead, but only if everyone wants to - if people don't, then I'd be happy to play it out.

I sure hope that's coherant...

I vote for moving on with it. Confusion is one of the charms of the game.

For this reason I'd be ok with it, because it seems highly possible that something like this could have happened. I know I went into the game with a different idea of how the Lover pairs worked, so knowing straight from the beginning would probably be less confusing.

However, I'm good with what the majority decides.

Other opinions?

Thanks. I was actually going to ask about that.

Well for one thing I think unless some fatal error has been made we should continue. I also think we should keep discussion of the matter to a minimum, as I'd rather not know who had issues (for lack of a better term) with the rules; it might interfere with how I see them in-game and I don't want that.

So yeah, let's keep going unless you, Gwath, think there's a reason not to.

Glirdan · 01-11-2010, 08:59 PM

Bah!! I say stay on!! We've already started and we have two hours left of the Day. What's the point in restarting?

But really, the call is up to you Mod Gwath!

Crap! I forgot to post here this morning, Lari had work from 10:30AM PST to 7PM PST. She should be on in a little while.

*cringes while awaiting the wrath of Lari*

wilwarin538 · 01-11-2010, 09:18 PM

Yeah, don't bother restarting, I seem to be the only one who really misunderstood the situation and the only one to get screwed over by that misunderstanding (completely my own fault Gwath, I should never have assumed anything regarding the rules). So I say keep going, I don't want this to ruin the game for the rest.
