I'm feeling pretty good about this game. Dreamflower/Qatol are quick to quell bad manner. I think you have gotten some of the kinks out of your posting style gumshoe. I now know what Alderan is capable of. Good mix of the new and semi-new. Hope this fills up fast. Yeah, though I *intended* to essentially do the same thing with my day 1 vote, since I thought there was NO WAY that so many people would vote switch such last minute. I just didn't come out and say it in as many words. I was barely even called out on it except by the scum ironically. All I know is, this game's gonna be better than last one. I don't see how it's possible for it to be worse, at least from my perspective | ||

But Alderan is right, coming directly off of a full game with each other, we don't really even need to read up on each other's styles. Which actually makes me think of something. Will any of ya'll be intentionally trying out a different style like DYH was last game? If so, tell us now before we start so we don't lynch you because of it. | ||

As far as an artificial early deadline, I personally really like the idea. Obviously, if we absolutely NEED the extra time to come to a consensus we can take that time, but I really don't like the idea of last minute vote changes. They're almost always feeding off of emotion, not logical thinking, and that is just too easy for scum to direct to a mislynch I think. | ||

I agree that the early deadline could be a good idea but I think we should still be aware of and responsive to any scummy play after the deadline. I don't want us to harm ourselves by trying to make a decision with 25% less information to work off. Our vote will probably end up being a lurker and I urge you all to change it away from him if he begins to contribute and makes good points after the initial "lynch". Of course, I don't think anyone is suggesting that we give anyone a free pass after our early "deadline", but I still think that it's good to encourage people to think about their vote, and make what cases they can before the actual deadline happens. That way we aren't scrambling just to try to prevent a mislynch. I'm interested that you assume we'd only be lynching a lurker on Day 1. Do you think that it's not possible to find enough scummy play on Day 1 to make a decent case against someone? | ||

I agree with the soft early deadline concept, but I would like to add a bit more. A general consensus is nice to have and provide extra time for new information. But to dampen last minute switches, maybe we should impose a "lock in vote" within the last 30 - 60 minutes to the deadline. This gives everyone sufficient time to think and be confident in their choice and casually inform the rest that they are firm in their choice. Thoughts? I don't know if that's really neccesary. That close to the deadline, people won't usually change vote unless either something major comes up or we were already headed toward a no lynch. It's possible, though. Thoughts, Chocolate/DYH/anyone else out there? | ||

I just think that having only one early deadline would discourage first time townies from changing votes past the deadline if they have legitimate reasons, for fear of being lynched for not following these "rules". BassInSpace (responding to bold) Very rarely, honestly. Or at least, that's what I've been told by vets of mafia. How do you feel about lynching lurkers? | ||

Sure it may help in the first day, but when we will have multiple cases and people posting defenses and whatnot from different timezones, I don't think it will be too practical. That's basically why I'm more inclined to just have a single deadline. The point to me is just to prevent people from not thinking about their vote until close to the deadline. My fear with having a second deadline is that if someone doesn't do it, people will freak out about that and immediately call them scum or start looking with confirmation bias. I just think that could create some chaos in the town later on. | ||
