TWG Rules [Vote + explain in poll]

[LogicallyLogical]

The thing is, yeah is is incredibly frustrating when that happens, but, just..I mean, TWG is a team effort. If there are people in the team who don't try and instead be inactive, the whole team is probably gonna have to take a blow because of that some way.

I just think the current system with the self votes is fine as it is. At least from my perspective, I think it will be a lot easier for hosts to tally self votes than to check the topic every 3 days to see who post/who didn't.

However, I certainly feel that there is no harm in having your idea with the once every 3 days thing be given a test try to see how it goes, since it clearly seems better than the previous rule we had that turned out to be a complete modkill disaster. If it works fine and we like it better than the self vote system, then we should implement it.

but it is a strategy to not vote ok

If you choose to lynch no one, you say so
If that affects your strategy, then it's a bad strategy and causes inactivity in games.

[LogicallyLogical]

Not lynching doesn’t equal inactivity. Just because someone doesn’t say anything, doesn’t mean they aren’t taking part in the game, actively reading, sending pm’s etc.

[Kowhai]

Inactivity means not participating. If you are not posting or PMing, you are not participating.
(Also, sending PMs counts)

[LogicallyLogical]

but I said that if you aren’t posting doesn’t mean you aren’t sending pm’s, which counts as participating, so it’s fine.

[Kowhai]

You also need to lynch though. If you aren't lynching, you're being a liability to the game. You can choose to lynch no one, but you should at least say so. I have heard complaints about your lack of activity, so yes, you should change.

[LogicallyLogical]

didn’t think everyone was actually taking this whole think so seriously, you all need to be a bit more laid back, if I don’t lynch once or twice the game isn’t going to fall in to ruin. becoming too gimmicky game wise and too serious rules wise. if I want to play that way, let me. If I’m still actively participating in the game by using Pm’s etc., i don’t see the problem. I just personally prefer to stay quiet. If you don’t like that, that’s fine, but you shouldn't make it out that I should find a different way to play. It literally doesn’t affect the entire game, and If it would, I wouldn’t do it. just my opinion.

[LogicallyLogical]

sorry if that comes off in the wrong way, not trying to start a massive argument or complain at anyone specifically, just wanted to give my opinion.

[winter]

Are you seriously still butthurt about that

[LogicallyLogical]

woah..

Well, you can choose to not lynch if you say so I reckon, but it’s a really easy way to have people suspicious of you IMO, and they can easily call you out and get you almost lynched where you would have to reveal your role which is bad if you are a power town role.

also, i hope when you say that you are actively PMing in game, you mean that you engage with other alliance members as any role besides independent ones and that you aren’t just PMing the host. because last game was honestly a train wreck and no one PMed me anything besides a Fool despite the fact that an alliance could have easily been made with me

yes that’s what I mean

and last game I stated in the lounge that I had a load to exams in the week, as the game obviously went on far longer than I expected it to (basically I signed up thinking it wouldn’t be over becafore I had to do loads of revision, but because of the combined inactivity it wasn’t)

But don't a lot of forums have programs which post to end the day? We can't do that unless someone knows how to o program and Matt lets us

I mean yeah, but it's not needed. It's more that once someone hammers, no one can take back their votes and everyone just waits for the host to update.

also, i hope when you say that you are actively PMing in game, you mean that you engage with other alliance members as any role besides independent ones and that you aren’t just PMing the host. because last game was honestly a train wreck and no one PMed me anything besides a Fool despite the fact that an alliance could have easily been made with me

Really agree ^^

Part of what made last game such a mess was because no one was PMing or voting or engaging or doing anything really (also partially on huz cause he never updated). I think it's fine if you don't want to post or vote Illogically, but you need to be doing something in the game. PM the host thorough notes about who you think is scum, or PM other players who are proven town.

So I don't think we need the lynch during the day rule, the inactivity rule should be enough.

So they're both currently on track to pass- this topic got really active in the last 12 hours though, so are there any last things people want to get in before I update
