Please can you explain the rules for this "punishment" mechanism, as I do not see it set out in any detail in the setup thread?Diplomacy&Warfare wrote: ↑Sat Apr 13, 2024 2:00 amCertain details, like the starting amount of fish and a scoring system, as well as a system of player abilities and events, are not yet fully fleshed out. There will be an incentive to lie and claim you fished less fish than you did, ways the players can punish whoever they think overfished, and a thread for discussing who may or may not have "overfished".

Re: Tragedy of the Commons: a social experiment (game thread)
We get negative points for fishing zero fish. Fishing one fish, however, would give points and still let the stock increase substantially.Jamiet99uk wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 12:27 pmHello, fellow Fishermen. I propose we all fish zero fish today, to let the stock increase.

But yet again, you could just take the negative and make up for it later… I’m fine with anything below 3.Pengwinja wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 1:18 pmWe get negative points for fishing zero fish.

Hm I don't agree as such. Once we learn the average replenishing speed, then we can discuss it.Jamiet99uk wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 12:27 pmHello, fellow Fishermen. I propose we all fish zero fish today, to let the stock increase.

Re: Tragedy of the Commons: a social experiment (game thread)
I second the cap of two fish. 2 fish each for 6 players if I recall correctly is 12, leaving 38 fish to create 19 more, letting the pond gain 7 more fish than last fishing season.

Re: Tragedy of the Commons: a social experiment (game thread)
Your recollection that 2 x 6 = 12 is accurate, I believe.

Re: Tragedy of the Commons: a social experiment (game thread)
I third two fish. There is 6 people here. 1 more would be a majority.

Well, of course this is our world map. I believe we are currently in Groenland.

As per 2024, I lay claim to all the waters from Greenland to Hudson Bay. Any disputes over this territory are considered hostile attacks.
Re: Tragedy of the Commons: a social experiment (game thread)
Following Will's claiming of all the waters from Greenland to the Hudson Bay, I am marking the entirety of the Mediterranean Sea as mine, under the same rules.JustAGuyNamedWill wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 8:27 pmIMG_0744.jpeg

I don't know why you are fucking about with that map but the GM specifically described a pond. We are fishing for freshwater fish, clearly. Your claims to various ocean territories are meaningless here.

Re: Tragedy of the Commons: a social experiment (game thread)
if you think about it the ocean is just a reeeeeeally big pond
Jamie can lay claim to Lake Michigan or something so he can secure the freshwater fishes
