We'll be taking in additional signups until 1h prior to game start. Role PMs will go out at about 30m to go.

Wasn't Doctor Helvetica the one primarily responsible at the beginning with his (literally) 20 page D1 tunnel on another player though?

EDIT: I didn't check final filters though in that game, so....

I'm still looking to see if any player (in any game of his/her choice) will do what geript was trying to do for a few games - impose a self posting limit of 20 posts per day/10 per night, I think in the one student game he was trying to go as low as 10 day and 5 night which is insane in a mini.

To be fair Rayn, it's not something I'd ever do to myself in any game, but apparently if others feel they want to do it to challenge/amuse themselves, there's really nothing stopping them provided they meet minimum posting requirements.

I forget the reason geript started trying to do it again in the first place, but my impression is that he's done it before, I think he wanted to see how low he could go, but I could be wrong on this.

I actually like larger games as well, though I don't know if I could say I prefer them over minis. I'd say I like them equally so far.

Trfel, I'd say I approach the large games differently as a player mainly because there's way more to take in. I don't post quite as much or as conversationally because I spend way more time reading filters and comparing and only really post if I think there's something noteworthy or alternatively if someone else wants to have a conversation or ask questions whatever. I figure that if I can put enough quality in my posts or enough critical thinking, I can still get townread by a decent number of people for what I do have and people scumreading me for not posting as much (in of itself) generally won't faze me. (It happened in both Carol and JOAT and I wasn't scum in either game.)

Heisenberg....isn't that when you don't know where the molecules are at a given exact point of time and space or something like that? Don't think it has anything to do with human behaviour.

Rasputin, are you talking about classical conditioning or the Pavlov experiment? Or am I mixing that up with something else?

I just looked it up - it is the Hawthorne effect

The Hawthorne effect (also referred to as the observer effect) is a type of reactivity in which individuals improve an aspect of their behavior in response to their awareness of being observed.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pygmalion_effect

The Pygmalion effect, or Rosenthal effect, is the phenomenon whereby the greater the expectation placed upon people, the better they perform.[1] The effect is named after the Greek myth of Pygmalion, a sculptor who fell in love with a statue he had carved.

A corollary of the Pygmalion effect is the golem effect, in which low expectations lead to a decrease in performance; both effects are forms of self-fulfilling prophecy. By the Pygmalion effect, people internalize their positive labels, and those with positive labels succeed accordingly. The idea behind the Pygmalion effect is that increasing the leader's expectation of the follower's performance will result in better follower performance. Within sociology, the effect is often cited with regard to education and social class.

Studies of the Pygmalion effect have been difficult to conduct. Results show a positive correlation between leader expectation and follower performance, but it is argued that the studies are done in an unnatural, manipulated setting. Scientists argue that the perceptions a leader has of a follower cause the Pygmalion effect. The leader's expectations are influenced by their perception of the situation or the followers themselves. Perception and expectation may possibly be found in a similar part in the brain.

Sorry Rasputin, I know jack all about psychology except the basics (studied biochemistry at uni because I was a glutton for punishment).

Trfel, you are studying physics or mechanical engineering? I can't remember...I know JAT is studying chemistry but I could have sworn there was a physics student in this bunch.

Those of you clamouring for certain roles this game, I leave you with this quote from BH in Horn of Africa:

On February 04 2015 05:48 Blazinghand wrote:
Blessed be the RNG for I was blind, and now I see
that preference' hand's deeply unkind: it harms the soul and warps the mind.
Only my dice are normal, true, and force unbiased followthrough.
So when I chose my roles this day, in RNGesus' name I pray.

AMEN

Anyhow, I'm off to make a delicious truffle meringue cake. Hopefully I don't totally mess this up. I'll be back in a few hours.

The recipe:

Stoked for this to begin and I hope you all are too.

In about 1h15m I will be locking the roster to finalise a setup along with the kp for appropriate balance.

We currently stand at 19 players, but any final signups will be accepted until that final hour prior to game start.

At that time, if anyone has any questions on the mechanics or doesn't understand something in the rules, it's your last chance to ask and clarify any questions you might have in thread. Once the game starts, you must direct any questions to us privately.

At 30 mins prior, there will be thread silence as we disseminate role PMs.
In the event of a replacement, anyone whom should replace in will receive a copy of the appropriate role PM.

Edited that one for clarity. I think that arose from a misunderstanding in Void which is why I specified.

Also another thing to keep in mind, we're taking the same approach as Artanis has done in JOAT with posting after the deadline. Please mind the deadline.

As stated in the OP, but I want to reiterate so everyone is fully aware, posting after the deadline and before the flip will result in a modkill.

Exactly why I posted BH's prayer to the RNG gods. For those of you that need or want it.
