Re: New TWG Rules Proposal & Discussion

well regardless, your win condition fluctuates, and they'd be playing against their new win condition.

Re: New TWG Rules Proposal & Discussion

However, I do think once the game has been voted for you should be shit out of luck on changing / adding rules.

IS GOOD

when fiction first tried to implement this modern game voting thing, part of the idea was that people would hoard their votes and USE them as LEVERAGE for potential mods to improve their games based on feedback.

once the game is voted, it's done. you're saying, "yes, this is the game that should be played, completely as is." and once anything is in motion, it shouldn't be changed ad-hoc. just learn for next time.

Re: New TWG Rules Proposal & Discussion

Question, does being banned from playing in games also exclude you from sending and potentially hosting a setup?

Re: New TWG Rules Proposal & Discussion

I would say so, yes.

Re: New TWG Rules Proposal & Discussion

Updated a few things:

Added a changelog


Removed rule 8 (No player, for any reason, is required to play in 1 or more jTWG games before playing in a TWG game).

Made rule 8a rule 8

Changed the wording of rule 6a from (Voting must be done in the thread, with no exceptions) to (Voting for the lynch must be done in the thread, with no exceptions).

Changed the word of rule 10d from (Speculating on the alignment of a player through the act of the player replacing out is legal, but is discouraged) to (Speculating on the alignment of a player through the act of the player replacing out is legal).

Added rule 10e

Added rule 13d

Would like to see this formally adopted as the new rules list at some point

Again, if anyone feels like there are things missing, please let me know. I'll work on adding a tl;dr at some point in the near future

Re: New TWG Rules Proposal & Discussion

there should be a discussion about 13d I think. I'm still in favor of it, but IIRC several were not

[Red Blaster]

Re: New TWG Rules Proposal & Discussion

What falls under 13d? I think that needs to be specified.
Because one could argue dropping off the face of the earth mid-game breaches that rule, but I think you're getting at something entirely different.

Re: New TWG Rules Proposal & Discussion

down with 13d

[DaBackpack]

Re: New TWG Rules Proposal & Discussion

I think we need to talk about 13d

I still maintain that pretending to align with another faction holds strategic benefits

and that outing yourself might further your chances of winning

it does

my thinking is, and I think it was you who said it earlier, that this kind of thing has to be evaluated on a case by case basis
