TWG Rules [Vote + explain in poll]

[Leia]

/pass

[Leia]

Try to be active during the game. Whenever a game starts, the host sends out a confirmation PM to all players. Anyone who doesn't respond to the PM or do anything in-game within 3 real life days will be replaced by someone on a list of overflow sign-ups. However, if there is no one on the list, the player is modkilled. Furthermore, if you have signed up for the game only to realize that you won't be able to commit to being active due to real life issues, you may replace out if you have a reason deemed valid by the host.

Does anyone have a problem with these rules or can we just move on to the next thing

PM the Host all TWG related conversations
As a Host, we choose an MVP at the end. If you don't give us your thoughts, we assume you did nothing and you cannot get MVP.
Vote during the Day
If you don't vote, you will get an extra vote against you. This may not be bad, but it could be a deciding vote. If you don't vote twice in a row, you get two votes. If you don't vote thrice in a row, you get three votes. The cycle continues, but you should be dead pretty soon. If you vote in the middle of the cycle, the cycle resets. Strategies will revolve around these votes.

Get rid of Vote during the Day, it interferes with the lynching process and the inactivity rule should be enough anyway.

/change (The rule just mentions it being optional.. Hosts have been enforcing it. Let's make it not optional to share Game-related PMs to the host, except for bids (you'd only show other players your bid if you want to improve it before it makes the finals))

Can someone at least acknowledge this please

[Kowhai]

Enhance the inactivity rule so that people have to make 1 lynch post and 1 non-lynch post every three days (in-game days for the former, don't want lazy hosts getting people modkilled). That doesn't get in the way of the lynching process and frustrate the town because because they just want to lynch one bloody wolf but they're able to lynch the one guy with 4 self votes already and get away with it.

[Kowhai]

I'd say it's basically the same thing, except if you get too many self-votes, you don't replace the proper lynch target and waste valuable time, you're just killed on the side and the town is able to keep going. That's not much of a burden for the host, since they can track it in the same way that they track self-votes, currently, and your first paragraph doesn't really make sense as an argument. I reckon it's pretty much a direct upgrade.

Instead of having them lynched, just have them modkilled so they don't affect the game too much.

Self-lynching does not exist on many forums, just have an inactivity rule.

Just because they don't have a rule doesn't mean we can't have it

Part of the reason that other forums don’t have the self-lynching rule is that a) they have significantly longer day/night phases and b) they end their days with a hammer, not a timed lynch, so the moment that someone gets more than 50% of the votes the day ends and the person is lynched. Having a self-vote would screw with those mechanics.
