You may now post.

I think the council should consider a rule revision for the next game.

The day shortener can be powerful because the lack of time really hampers town's decision making, and on a weekend when most people are extra busy it is unsurprising that several players were able to engage very little or not even at all. Worcej didn't even post and Kak was only here beginning of day with a (presumably accidental) invalid vote.

I think we should consider making it a rule that any game that potentially has a day shortener should also require players to check in at least once during the first 24 hours of a day.

If that were the rule, then mod kills would be a logical and appropriate punishment for non-voters. Without that rule, it seems like an overboard reaction, and unfairly makes me suspicious of Kak.

[sweetandcool]

I don’t think it’s Worcej, but I also think that the night shortened is going to allow a scum to not participate and then say “oH nO, i MiSsED thE vOTe!” And that’s Kak (which fits my theory) and Worcej (which doesn’t).

So I’m a little torn but I’m not going to be doing EOD and so I’m inclined to stay where I am.

I also was thinking this. Though it seems everybody could fit the bill except you and I and possibly Bona who was prepared not to make it.

[sweetandcool]

This game is tainted to me now. I guess vote Kak tomorrow. And if they are Town, oh well.

[sweetandcool]

And did I miss in the rules that the day being shortened would be announced like 6 hours into the day?? Rather than right at start of day when players would most likely see it?

[sweetandcool]

I was a bit upset about it earlier, but I shrugged and told myself that the GM can't always be on top of things and mistakes happen.

But on top of warning us after 6 hours have elapsed, we also get a last minute draconian warning about non voters being modkilled? WTF???

[sweetandcool]

Ten minutes warning

Is that really true? I thought it was perfectly valid Mafia strategy (or Town), to make a fake vote.

Obviously following that up with never actually voting is a problem though.

But fake votes are unlawful? Since when????

[Foxcastle]

I would recommend holding this aside until after the game. It’s not something that’s going to be productively discussed or resolved during.

[sweetandcool]

Not a rickroll

Perhaps, but it's important to me to understand the rules. I don't want to be modkilled out of the blue.

Damn dude. Wtf?

Yes! GM threatens modkills to non-voters. Proceeds not to kill Kak. Not that I think modkill was appropriate, and on top of that Kak had attempted to vote at least, but still, very fishy not following through on a GM threat.

Of course, it could also be because the game would immediately end, but GM should follow through or not try to enforce it in the first place.

[Vecna]

damn, thats a pretty bad outcome. Not even a single vote move in the last 3 hours.

Guess you were right Fox

No. I meant the whining. From you. Cmon and play.

I think even brain recognized that it wasn’t INTENTIONAL.

Yeah…

What do you make of it?

And what do you conclude of the use of the day shortening?
