TWC Rules, Policies, Etc.

Re: TWC Rules, Policies, Etc.

Voting for kilga's ruleset so we can have something official to work off of.

And... mattc needs a TWG vacation, since I have yet to actually see him be active in one.

Re: TWC Rules, Policies, Etc.

I think in Kilga's rule set you missed the big bold print. at the end of the day.

If wolves=humans at the end of the day, the game becomes academic (they're gonna kill a human, and then presumably outnumber the humans.)

they must outnumber their human counterparts during the day. (chardish)

Just means you have to go through the night and waste everyone's 12-24 hours. Special roles or games withholding, Kilga's ends the game when it becomes impossible to win, whereas Chardish lets you go through one night where it's impossible to win (thus wasting your time)

changing to kilga because yes, the bold print alluded me.

Re: TWC Rules, Policies, Etc.

Speaking of which, I move that if the current TWG has one more safety-fest, we end it early and make a new TWG. This has gone on way too long, and the inactivity is absurd.

Re: TWC Rules, Policies, Etc.

Eh, I'll reconsider the chardish/kilga issue. Not right now though.

Also, I move to make mattc's ban a 3 or 4 game ban, seeing as how its his second offense.

Also @ mak, let's just wait the last day out.

Re: TWC Rules, Policies, Etc.

Again I'd like to propose something.

Change the vote from the name having to be bolded to the player saying "I vote for x."

I can be any form of the present tense. "I'm voting for x."

"I'll vote for x" doesn't work.

The reason for this can be demonstrated in the current jTWG.

Lito's being a horrible sport, but he can suck it up, because this isn't about him. I'm glad he did what he did ... because this is a flaw imo.

If I say "I vote for x," there's NO doubt who I'm voting for.

I can bold trav trav trav all I want, and incorporate it into my sentence so that it looks like it would be there anyway and claim that I bolded out of emphasis.

"I vote for x" is STRONGER than x imo.

This is just something I'm proposing ... not sure how well it will be received, but yeah.

Re: TWC Rules, Policies, Etc.

The point of the bold is to make it easy for the host to see when checking through. I think if they see the "I vote for x", then they should include it into the tally, but if they skip over it because it's not bolded and then write the death post, it should not be changed.

[Xception704]

Re: TWC Rules, Policies, Etc.

Right. Well I'm going to be participating in TWGs for hopefully a long time, and I always go through and check to see who voted for who.

I'm changing my proposition from "I vote for x" replacing x to "I vote for x" and x being synonymous.

Re: TWC Rules, Policies, Etc.

I believe i'm allowed to put a little point across with regards to my absence. I'm not gonna lie i've not been online at all in the past couple of days cause i have had no connection to the internet, my computer has been away being repaired cause my little sister broke it, I just got it back today.

I also had to go back to hospital again yesterday overnight, which was totally unexpected, the scar from my operation opened up and there was quite a lot of bleeding, so i was rushed into hospital pretty quickly.

If I'd have known this was gonna happen i wouldn't have signed up, but it's pretty hard to predict that.

Re: TWC Rules, Policies, Etc.

I'm not going to vote for matt. for reasons I discussed with trav over AIM, You guys have to remember he's in england. which is 6 hours ahead of EST, and 9 ahead of PST. It's very Difficult to be active in a different time-zone. Main TWG activity is from 7-9 PM EST or later, which is 1-3 AM his time. Most people are asleep by this point. So the only time he can be active is during the day, but at that time everyone over here is in school.

So basically the only things he has to form opinions on is the thread, which usually isn't much. Matt's been active enough to avoid phantoms for the most part and he's been responsible enough to get a replacement when he hasn't been able to be active.

Re: TWC Rules, Policies, Etc.

No offense but if it aint broke, don't fix it. The voting process works fine. Don't try changing it, and if you do just have people increase the font size to see better. But you shouldn't change it since it's been working fine since the first game. And I think we can all understand Matt's "handicap". I apologize for replacing you, I hope you understand why. But don't worry, others won't. I just want my game active, unlike the last two.

[travman301]

Re: TWC Rules, Policies, Etc.

I've reconsidered matt's case.

When I talked to manti, he made some very good points.

Matt I have no problem taking my vote off of you, but just make sure that the next game you sign up for be as active as you can.

[Xception704]

Re: TWC Rules, Policies, Etc.

Oh. I had no clue why you weren't active for this game matt. I don't mind as a fellow player seeing someone inactive if it was caused by a real-life situation that really couldn't have been avoided.

Maybe your condition will stabilize by the time the next jTWG starts?

[mattc16]

Re: TWC Rules, Policies, Etc.

Thanks manti, that's another valid point, i try to be on aim whenever i can at home, but like you say it's difficult to get hold of people most of the time!!

Trav, I'm always as active as i can be, but it's kinda difficult to get online when you have no internet connection at home and you're off school for two weeks!!

rzr, i was going to ask you for a replacement anyway because i think i might have to have another operation on the same thing, it's come back again. not good...
