It's awfully late for euros :x Can't, if its any earlier for me, I can't make it consistently, and I'd rather not make my cohost shoulder the burden of having to get every single day/night post. Sorry >.<
Now doing that to a co-host would be something, wouldn't it?

Day 1
You wake up, and find yourself in a place of impossible geometries, standing in a house, suspended over an ocean, a midst a mountain-range. The sun hangs lazaly in the sky, with two moons crossing the sky in the opposite direction. A flock of multicolored buzzards dance a midst the rolling waves of crystal.
The house itself is as unbelievable, the walls are made of ice, that burns red, a fountain hangs from the ceiling, burbling a red fluid that looks unconformable like blood. Intricate carvings decorate the walls, and seem to shift and change when you aren't looking at them. The light diffracts in bizarre ways as it hits the glass ceiling of the house, illuminating the room you are for some reason standing in.
Looking around, you see you aren't the only one who has realized the strangness of the situation. Another 13 strangers stand with you, seeming confused and taken aback. Well, all except for one. A man clad in bizarre clothes, some kind of strange feathered robe with more arm holes than any vestment really needs, with a bakers dozen golden amulets hanging from it. Atop his head is a mechanical contraption of some sort, it looks like an hourglass built around a dozen clocks, he smiles at the gathered crowd and begins speaking
"I know, I know, this isn't what you are used to. It never could be. You see, your universe is facing the first test of consciousness!" he pauses for a second and seems to think, before mumbling something in a strange and incomprehensible tongue, which also causes the air to smell faintly of vanilla. "Anyway, its simple, this a town, called Liquidia. A dreamrift has opened in it ten of you, are normal people, representatives of your world, or of positive human traits. The other three are... less pleasant. Find them and vanish them, and you've proven humanity is capable of learning and evolving, fail, and you'll go back to going hairless apes, at least until the dreamrift eats your dimension a few hours later."
He smiles as he turns to go, wrapping the odd vestment around himself, when a sudden yell cuts him off.
"Who are you? Who the hell gives you the right to judge us?!" yells a small man, dressed in what is clearly the getup of a 20th century gangster. The odd man fixes the gangster with a steely gaze. "I am GMarshal, the Arbiter of Fate, and it is my task to judge. You will take the judgment, or you will be sanctioned." The gangster didn't even bother to speak, drawing a gun from between the folds of his coat. "I'm HiroPro, and I'm going to blow your brains out"
This was a mistake. GMarshal simply looked down at him, a sneer crossing his face as he clutched one of the golden amulets hanging from his robe and crushed it into dust with an imposing gesture. HiroPro simply exploded in a cloud of colors.
"Now" GMarshal said smiling, "the test begins.". As he finished the sentence, the device on his head chimed and the sand began to pour up the hourglass.
HiroPro the Gangster (Jack of all trades) - has been sanctioned! GMarshal the Arbiter of Fate has summoned a giant hourglass in the town square and vanished!
Its day one, you have a little under 48 hours to decide who to lynch. Remember, vote here, and format your votes correctly. This is majority deadline lynch, so it takes 7 to lynch with 12 alive. Good luck, have fun, and play nice. Feel free to PM me with any questions you may have.
(Deadline is 02:00 GMT (+00:00))

I HAD A NIGHTMARE
And on that nightmare, town became hell. People started throwing shit at each other, and nobody tried to read into players that hid into the chaos.
Let's play nice, shall we?
|
I think we're basically forced to play nicely because of GM. :p
|
Umm, so besides everyone's usual fill of Policy Lynch is bad, any opinions?
|
We're not even talking about policy lynches, so can it right now if you were thinking about it.
Zeph, you mentioned the "nightmare" in your opening post. Could it have something to do with "Nightmare" being somewhere in your ROLE PM?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!
!!!!!!
?

My opinion is that going "besides everyone's usual fill of Policy Lynch is bad" is cutting on the discussion and reducing the potential subjects for dicussing, thus reducing the potential to scumhunting. Who wants to avoid scumhunters? scum.
Bluelightz, you're scum?

It's just from my expierience that when someone start's a discussion about policy lynches everyone always think it's bad so therefore I just cut to the chase and get started with scum hunting.

you're not cutting to the chase, having that part of the discussion is great. Even if people agree, the way they do it is what matters.
However, if they don't even need to do it, we wouldn't find their "way" and we wouldn't have useful information for scumhunting in the first place.

Adding to this, it also waste's time for discussion of other stuff like plans (which are great contributions if we know shit), or potential lynch targets.

If using Policy lynches for scumhunting is [i]their[/i[ way, well, that's how they scum hunt,is it important that we know "their" way of scumhunting? Explain the bolded part please, I don't see how having that part of the discussion is great.
My opinions on that Policy Lynch Discussion: 1. That it waste's time that could be used for scum hunting. 2. That from countless games everyone will probably say "Lynch All Liars sucks, Lynch All Lurkers for day 1!" (but if someone has a opinions please share it)

Thing is: there is no scum hunting if people don't talk. We gotta make people talk. That's why people discuss policy lynches on day 1.
I want to hear somebody's else opinion on this, VE and MrZentor are around. What do you think about the discussion of policy lynches? I want everyone talking about this.
I mean, that's one way to get discussion going.
|
The conclusion of the lynch all (whatever you want to lynch) discussion seems to always be to adjust accordingly with the situation.
For instance, if somebody had been posting pro town the whole game but was caught lying, it wouldn't be wise to lynch said person.
Basically, there's absolutely no reason to enforce a policy lynch without first reviewing the actions of the to be lynched person.
|
As always, I support a Policy of lynching a lurker if no scummy candidate presents itself D1. However in my experience that's hardly ever a concern, as someone will come across as scummy for something. I've never needed to resort to lynching a lurker for the sake of lurking on D1.
I don't think Bz not wanting to talk about Policy Lynching is scummy, myself. He's probably just concerned people would want to PL him. I'd wager MrZ won't want to talk about Policy Lynching either.

Yea I agree.
If we dont find something to talk about then we won't find out Whoes scum. Policies for lynching is as good a topic as any

Good, so what's your opinion on the common policy lynches (lurkers, liars, specific players)?
(for the record, I pretty much agree with MrZentor)
