To all jTWG players: phantoms

[rzr]

Ok, since I've had to explain the process of phantoms several times, maybe if Manti stickies this it'll be easier.

Phantoms are the result of inactivity. When a player does not vote to lynch someone during the day phase, a phantom is awarded.

Note: this only applies for regular lynchings. If a players is insta-lynched no phantoms are awarded.

The phantoms are broken down into 3 stages.

Phantom #1
When a person recieves their first phantom it counts as .001 votes against them. In essence, if you have one vote and a phantom you would technically have 1.001 votes.

Phantom #2
After you recieve your second phantom you now have a full vote against you. So basically, if you've recieved two phantoms your vote count during the day phase will automatically read: 1.001 Regardless of if anyone's voted for you, you'll still have a minimum of 1.001 vote(s).

Phantom #3
After you recieve 3 or more phantoms you recieve a game ban. Usually the length of the game ban is 1-2 games. This includes both jTWG and TWG and any other games that arise after this thread.

FAQs
Q: If I have a phantom can I still vote?
A: Yes, you can still vote.

Q: What if I have a good reason?
A: Individual excuses can be appealed to the host of the game.

Q: How do I know if I have a phantom?
A: Each host displays it differently. Some use the font color in gray, some bold it. There will always be a post in or after the death post saying who was awarded phantoms.
You can also always PM the host and ask.

Q: If I have a phantom and everyone has one vote including me who dies?
A: Given that the phantom counts as .001 or 1 you would die since you'd technically have the most votes against you.

After Thought: Remember everyone, phantoms are a perfect reason why you NEED to be active in the games.

Inaccurate. 2 phantoms = minimum of 1.001 votes.

Also, put that three phantoms results in a game ban AND instant replacement in the current (j)TWG.

We're (TWC) actually working on a clearer ruleset. Expect us to have it out by next game.

It will include phantoms.

o.O wish I had a say in it. Next time a seat on the council opens, someone should nominate me. K, thanks <3

You do have a say in it.

Go scrutinize the rules as you see fit in the TWC thread.

If you make a good point they will be changed.

It doesn't seem woth it. Like I said to Xception, if it aint broke, don't fix it. I'm just making a thread for the new players to see easrier when questioningin phantoms than having to read the whole rules about. ^^

He's right. And respect mah authortah.

[rzr]

Fixed, sticky?

[Makilaz]

No need to sticky a whole new thread, IMO. Copy-paste into the TWC rules thread perhaps?

[rzr]

How about quoting?

[Makilaz]

As long as it gets into the official rules one way or another.

[rzr]

Ok, this thread is henceforth useless than. Someone quote my OP and quick it in the TWC thread. P.S. make sure to quote, lol

[pntballa18]

anyone else notice the obvious plea for recognition?

[rzr]

Psht, what are you talking about
Though I wouldn't complain... rofl.
