Vote totals:
Ron Nasty (3) – Martha, Silly Girl, GardeningOctopus

Hasn’t voted yet – Ron Nasty,

3 votes needed to send someone to George!!

The biscuits unanimously decide to toss Ron Nasty out of the jar, and George

jumps away, as Yoko Nasty was tossed at him!

I will release night actions tomorrow morning once everyone has congratulated themselves on a biscuit win.* I’m happy to mod the next round, so who wants to play? I’ll aim for 7, but 9 would work just as fine!

List of players for next round:

Starr Shine?

Silly Girl

Martha

GardeningOctopus

*could someone please @tt me to remind me to do so? Thanks.

Wow, great job town! I didn’t think Ron Nasty would be so obvious so good job figuring it out.

Still I get nervous with quick blank votes since Yokos are opt to do that.

OK, first night:

ewe2 suggested sacrificing Starr Shine?, but Ron Nasty responded with:

I would lean toward Dark Overlord.

There’s a 2-2-2-1 vote at the moment.

We can’t eliminate me or you, ewe2. Eliminating SS? points our way.

Throw a curveball and take out the one that only has one vote, then that throws suspicion on whoever voted DO, along with an unidentified other.

I think we gain more advantage by diverting attention.

Then refocus on the DO voter and SS? being a cabel aimed at diverting attention from themselves.

Though I am playing this pretty blind, as I have no real idea of the rules.

Which caused ewe2 to reply with: 

No, that sounds pretty good, I might have gone for Silly Girl but Dark Overlord is ok. My chief worry is that Starr Shine? is the detective and will find out our roles, so I was thinking in terms of removing the threats to us, because that threat gets worse by each turn. 

Martha, the Cracknel, found out that Starr Shine? was a biscuit.

Silly Girl, the High Energy Biscuit, then protected ewe2 from johnandyoko, which I found very amusing!

 

Night 2:

Ron Nasty said this:

Erm, okay, Starr Shine? annoyed me by leading a charge on blameless ewe2…

Could she be a Spritzgebäck please? A Starr Shine? Spritzgebäck…

Yummy…

Martha then found out than Ron Nasty was a human, not a biscuit!

Silly Girl protected GardeningOctopus from Yoko!

 

And also, Starr Shine? PMd me this on the 17th:

Just for here, I’ll guess that Silly Girl is the Yoko, due to the fact that night took so long and her activity is spotty and behavior is sketch.

Plus she would try to distance herself from the John player.

 

Still need more players! a-hard-days-night-ringo-15

Few changes for next time, people could be allowed to claim roles, like a Yoko could claim to be a High Energy Biscuit to confuse biscuits, and also if a Cracknel finds Yoko or John, they should be able to role claim with their evidence.

Just with out using their PM as proof.

Also Days could be a week and Nights be two days, so that way people have time to enter roles at night and days would less likely end in a no eat.

and maybe for inacticity, give them two days before you PM/@tt the user. If they keep up the inactivity, could see if they could be repalced. Like if too many people sign up, they could become the replacement quene.

Yes. I agree. Yes. I agree. Yes.

Also Days could be a week and Nights be two days, so that way people have time to enter roles at night and days would less likely end in a no eat.

Maybe days should be 5 days to prevent people (especially me) getting bored?

And maybe for inactivity, give them two days before you PM/@tt the user. If they keep up the inactivity, could see if they could be replaced. Like if too many people sign up, they could become the replacement queue.  

See my response to your first suggestion!

Could I make a suggestion, @Starr Shine?? Part of my reason for sitting back in the last round of the last game was to see if what I thought would happen happened, and it did.

To me, the big flaw, is the votes needed to send versus the time left to vote. I believe it would improve the game greatly if it was how the votes stood at the end of allotted time. At the beginning of the game, when there’s the full compliment of players, there’s plenty of opportunity for people to try and influence others to change their vote. As the amount of players decreases, you might reach the number of votes while they’re asleep or out for the day.

My suggestion, you give the time the vote is open for, any post made by a player during that period must include their honest vote at that time, along with an argument why people should vote as they are, if someone has the votes at the end of time, then they are sent to George.

That allows people time to argue their innocence if they’re away from the interwebby for a day.

So what you’re saying is, eliminate, the chance of not having someone sent to George, and instead whoever gets the most votes ends up tossed to George, even if there is a 2-1-1-1-1 split? That’s probably a good idea, but that’s up to SS? to decide.

Any other suggestions? Can I improve my modding? That question is especially aimed at those who I interacted with via PM for various reasons.

The suggestions of Starr Shine and Ron Nasty are really good especially the idea of counting the votes at the end of the time. If the votes immediately count as soon as the number of votes needed to send someone to George is reached, then the last one will not have the opportunity to change votes anymore. And sometimes one change of vote can already affect the outcome of the game.

Concerning your modding I have nothing to complain about, you did a great jobpaul-mccartney-thumb_gif

And you must post at least two posts per stage, but one of them can be Vote: username. 

In other words, if you don’t contribute to the discussion at least once within a reasonable time frame (though I will let it be if you weren’t online at all, as life does happen), you will be replaced or fed to George as an extra snack. 

 

In in case I haven’t said this enough: we are a minimum of 4 players short! paul-mccartney-facepalm_gifa-hard-days-night-george-10apple01

There are smaller game version to get a game going if you want, generally games tend to be odd number of players so 5 could be a game but things like 7, 9 or 11 would be nice. (I don’t expect anything higher than 11 here but who knows.)

We could do a smaller version if no-one joins, but as it stands I’ll add RN’s suggestions and presume SS?, SG and Martha still want to play, and hope more pepole join! I’ll start the next round in ~24 hours, I think, but I’ll play it by ear!a-hard-days-night-ringo-15

Ok, I must of miss counted. Could use this setup.

Two digestives a John and a Yoko. No nights.

If Yoko or John gets picked to be eaten day one, the one who is picked have to pick a digestive biscuit to reveal as a biscuit.

If a biscuit gets picked, instead of going up to George, they have to choose someone else to go up instead.
