I really do need more than one spot. With Poli not playing it is going to be harder to meet my post quota for this game.
|
Danny, your 2nd role is "plutonium". Unfortunately, it is a non-posting role and it does not receive any PMs from the moderator. Not even a starting PM.
VOTE PLUTONIUM |
VOTE PLUTONIUM VOTE NIGHTFALL |
This game is pretty easy so far.
|
VOTE PLUTONIUM
Just in case this counts. |
Vote Damn moderation queue for new registration. Plutonium will have something to say about this soon!
|
Hmm, I've seen who is the newest member at FOFC and I expect he is headed this way.
|
Just in case it wasn't clear, since there are two GMs this game, hoops and I decided that we would be eligible to vote as well.
Vote plutonium |

I take some responsibility for the latter (game environments that foster high posting) but I really do try to accelerate the deaths enough so that the games don't run over two weeks. Heck, I don't want to moderate for that long!
|
Had a very, very tough work day yesterday that prevented finishing up the rules. I'm looking to get the final version posted this evening at some point.
|
VOTE HOOPSGUY
|
Poli, you may just end up with a worse role than Danny's secondary if you continue down this road.
|
Vote Barkeep?
|
I think that is a better play, but the other mod may disagree.

You might want to rethink that as a better play. If BK gets voted out you have to do all the work yourself. |
ok I am in

That is kind of an interesting point. The workload for this one is going to be very different than the Marvel games. Less math, less judgement calls, but the sheer coverage requirements for the mods in this game are going to be very high. |
Expect the rules to be up shortly.

Trouble = just asking for unexpected judgment calls to emerge?
|
Yup.
|
Eh - no "create a power" = not as many judgment calls. That was a crazy amount of work. Fun to try, fit the theme, but I'm not going to return to that mechanic anytime real soon.
|
And rules are now in place. See Post #1.

Sweet, game looks like a lot of fun! I hope we get the 25 players. |

What?? But what about Doombots!!! |

This sounds especially cool |
Wow, I really like the rule set. This should be a lot of fun.

I would be stoked to play a game run by another moderator with this option :p |
There was math in the marvel game? I thought it was all just guesstimating :p
|
Only when the math was too hard.
|
Shouldnt the max number of players be 24?
|
Technically, there is not a maximum number of players. But BK and I created 31 roles initially and the Conspirators are going to know about two that are not in the game. So we could potentially support 29 players with what we've put together up to this point. I would be pretty surprised if we have enough interest to fill 29 spots between now and Monday, however.
Oh, wait - you were just making a funny there. Right? Oops. |

No kidding, days 2-5 in that game we probably spent 90 minutes a day each adding and readding numbers to make sure we had it straight. Maybe more. |

I made it all the way to post 76 and now he wants me to go back to post 1? vote hoops :D |
I'm going to have to relinquish my spot. After looking over the rules there is no way I will be able to find enough time, especially with no set deadlines.
It looks like it should be a fun game though. Good luck to all. |
Honor system? Speak English, please.

Just speaking towards this concern - and not to the availability of EagleFan - I do not think that the time commitment needs to be immense due to the real-time nature. If your character has an action, it can be submitted whenever you are online. And you should see the results immediately, rather than having to check back in later after the standard day/night deadline. And then you can take your action again when it becomes available once more, after whatever time allotment is defined in the character PM. If you have a vote to make, you don't have to try and get it in before a deadline. Make it when you are in the thread, when you are caught up on the reading, etc. Now, is it really this simple? Well, my answer is that it can be. If someone has a lot of time they might find some greater advantages to the real-time element but I don't want to necessarily spell out all my thoughts on how this could play out before the game gets started. Bottom line - I think that the lack of standard day/night deadlines could end up being more friendly to players with limited time than the rules in a conventional game. Similarly, I think these rules are likely to be more friendly to someone playing from a non EST/CST timezone. I would be interested in hearing thoughts of others on this. |
I'm still thinking on this. I may just be out of town too much to play

when you explained it to me this way the other day it eased some of my fears about it, so hopefully it does the same for others. |

To make sure we had what straight? Didn't we have a problem of not knowing anything about what our goals were, so we were just trying to guess at what a good amount was? Maybe I should re-read it, but it might enrage me too much. |
It was to make sure that Tyrith and I had calculated all the factors correctly in terms of attacks, defenses, and other variables that came into the "effective damage" which determined kills.
This game - with no Health, Energy, defensive powers, and variable attacks - is going to be much more standard werewolf than Marvel. |

Oh right, Tyrith was a mod -- I was thinking of it from a player's perspective. |
i'm in.

Obligatory daily post.

So when are you going to break down and join the game? Surely your team wants you to serve your country in some capacity? |

Oh, I think it does. |

I think I will be attending a different youth football camp held by former Ram and current HS head coach Mike Jones next week.
I will be managing a dynasty thread again this season. |
