I don't understand what's your problem with my quoted post, but whatever...

I think he means you were asking about content happening inside the ongoing game

I believe you meant to discuss the time duration of the new game?

[Norell 1,198]

I only reflected to Broba's statement that longer days would probably mean only longer silent periods. Like it happens in the current game, hours and hours without any post.

Honestly can't wait to GM the next one, will be my first experience actually watching a match. Surprisingly I was alive in all my 4 games until the last day, so only saw observation lounges when matches finished

[BiggsIRL 6,717]

So:  Visovics will be GMing the next one.  Do we have anyone waiting patiently after that, or can I reserve the next, next game for GMing.

Geez... Calm down people, this isn't the Mafia World Championship... Or to paraphrase the Joker: Why so serious?

Go ahead, and then if nobody objects, I'll GM the one after that.

Because pointing out the obvious fact that nobody wrote anything in a topic for several hours - not a secret because... you know.... there are NO NEW POSTS INT HE TOPIC - is the same as revealing hands in poker.... O.o Sure man, whatever you say.... Next time you'll say that I shouldn't acknowledge that somebody brought an ISD to the tournament even though he just placed his ISD on the table?

still, you shouldn't be talking about it no matter what

[Drasnighta 26,831]

Honestly - the way people casually disregard the 'rules' of the game when they're written is another reason why I don't play.

I know its supposed to be fun and all, but fun doesn't necessarily mean lax, and it speaks a lot to the integrity of both the game and its players...

 

Beyond the attitudes of some players - wether they're "for the game" or not, its not something I can readily separate - so I don't play.  I do spectate, however (but only on the public side, never the hidden chats, even when offered)...

...  Rules should be Rules.  Why do people not conform to Rules when they're agreed upon at the start with acceptance into the game?

This is akin to asking why people dont read terms and conditions....

No surprise that I do, eh?

Which is good, however, most dont, because for some reason they trust that humanity will keep them safe. A very odd assumption imo.

Added to the OP.  Just in case anyone gets any bright ideas.

[Visovics 1,675]

So does anyone who knows they won't play next game care to do a check on my balancing? I had a huge help from Norell, but third opinion is always better

[ovinomanc3r 4,436]

I have an idea I wanted GM but I am really bad at that.

Ok, lets introduce you to a concept called Scummarining. This is when the scum players arent actually inactive, but are in fact choosing not to talk as talking would only incriminate themselves. If you want a prime example of this look at how fast CNinj suddenly appeared active to hammer at the end there....

What is trivial to you, may not actually be trivial. Players being "inactive" is not a straightforward concept. So no, you cant discuss this.

I'm taking a break from this next one - so I'm more than happy to do so. After I get the aftermath of this past one posted.

[BiggsIRL 6,717]

Now that the last game is over lets talk about LYLO and MYLO.

LYLO - Lynch or Lose.  Scum is one town death away from tying town.  For example:  3 players w/ 1 scum, or 5 players w/ 2 scum.  Town needs to lynch and lynch correctly.

 

MYLO - Mislynch and Lose.  Scum is two town deaths from winning.  For example: 4 players and 1 scum or 6 players and 2 scum.  Especially in games with a Hammer required to lynch, town's best play here is a No Lynch, and let scum eliminate a player.  That gets the game to a 2-1 or 3-2 and lets you (a townie) have a 50/50 shot of picking scum.
