« on: July 17, 2010, 06:51:26 AM »

hey guys remember when i had a time limit on days and you all hated it

i remember that was good times

but i think we all can appreciate that the game stalling out for 10 years every day is not something we want sooooooooooooooo

SEE POLL ABOVE

please note this is not a feedback thread for the game

keep discussion to the stall/time limit issue please

I voted 24 hours whoever has the most votes get lynched.

Also people who have to leave for a few days get auto-killed.

Sometimes a game needs long days.

I have a proposed solution which would only work in the ridiculously rule-heavy VvW context. Every day, choose a random living player who had not previously been chosen in this way. This player has the Key to the City. At the end of the time limit - 48 or 72 hours - then one of two things will happen. If the player with the Key to the City has not voted, he is lynched along with whoever has the most votes against him. If he has voted, then his vote also counts for all the players who did not vote that day.

Additionally, a certain threshold of players may vote to extend the deadline by 24 hours.

Keeping the game active is half the players' responsibility by voting for the silent. It's a valid tactic to keep under the radar, so scoop up those quiet people and force them to talk with votes!

This requires more effort on Friday's part, especially in the early game, but how about:

If at least 72 hours have gone by without a lynch, the first person to go 72 hours without posting (starting from the beginning of the day) gets lynched.  Friday's discretion as to whether an anti-idle post of 'sup thous' actually counts.

Yes, there will be more fluff posting in response, but at least it gets everyone engaged with the game (and forces everyone to provide a modicum of posting information to be used for future lynch decisions).

Whatever the call happens to be, I'm really alright except that I want to second the "Stop, Hammertime! request for when things get too hot and juicy for a 1 day extension.

Thirded.  There were times last game I wish I had it, which is interesting since we won due to a lack thereof.

Also it potentially provides another clue as to who the furries are, which makes the game more interesting.

Alright. Next game we'll use a once per game, once per player Hammertime rule.

After we test it out, we'll come back here again.

I'm just as vexed as you guys, here. I want a system that prevents 5+ day stalls that works well.

I didn't actually catch anyone complaining about the time limit in the last game, but then I wasn't the GM, I was the person abusing the shit out of it.

I got the feeling that the last day picked up in pace and tension...  Otherwise the limits were just fine. 


As well, may I suggest that the hammer time should be supported by at least one other player?  There may be a case where a stalling tactic may be used just to save one's bacon on day one, when really the only thing that needs to be saved is the game.

what is WITH you people and needing a game to be fffff OVER DONE in 48 hours? i guess it's a lack of the VIRTUE of PATIENCE!! how about you try playing a game that takes a good, solid month with at least ten posts from each player every game day and get some perspective CHRISTMAS

I think that the 48 hours + hammertime worked out quite well, actually.
