I did like majority voting as an idea, but I always feel "Speed Days" can be massively hurtful to players who simply cannot commit every second of every day to a game. I appreciate as a game nears an end, and everyone has agreed who is next to go, they can become a necessary evil though. But I feel sorry for people who, say, get lynched because they can't mount a defense for themselves, be it cause of school, work or other commitments.
Pter wrote: » As Necro said its mod team specific, and requires extra input from game mods. It also favours people who have extra time for games. I think the majority was really good but maybe suited to later in the game when post counts are lower. If its a choice between speed days and majority, id prob go with majority. If its a choice between normal days and majority days, id only do majority towards the end of a game. The non-majority method is fairer to everyone. Yes it might be a bit of a slog if you have someone you want to kill by 2pm, but at least all defences have reasonable amount of time to put their point across.
Necro wrote: » On the majority voting, the upside to it is that the players decide when to end the day, not the mods so there could be time offered to a player to mount a defence in some places (althought not when a seer outs and you're peeked Lordy :P )
sKeith wrote: » That's why majority trumps speed days. If the majority decided they have made a decision, the minority cannot hold them up. Over half the people in the game is a majority. The mods don't need to ask the village to vote or thank this thread for speed days, it's built in. If there is not a majority, the game does not speed up.

I was completely honest when I said I had nobody to choose and I’m gonna have to retrain my brain about someone’s first post in the thread looking bad. I suppose I’m used to looking for some clues in the munch and working backwards.

Not so much feedback but, why no Gollum? Riddles/dual characters done too recently? umm signing out now, password as it was originally, Mary WW out
Necro wrote: » :pac::pac: Put your clothes back on Mary! Gollum wasn't included as the game was primarily based around the first book/movie of which he doesn't play a large part in. I had actually designed a role for him had we hit 30 players though which involved a lot of confusion and anguish for roled players. I can reveal it if people wish though.

deconduo wrote: » Majority voting worked well, though it's prefer if it kicked in on day 3 instead of 2 just to get one more long day in. Lots of information given in the OP, with the right amount of key info kept behind to keep things interesting.

It allowed me (Henry), to make what I believed to be my best option in the situation I was faced with. I knew Des was telling the truth because I knew Clodagh was lying. The best way to resolve it was with my death. I was able to vote for myself in the lynch to reach the majority and show Clodagh for the lying sneak she was. I would've had to spend the entire day trying to convince everyone to vote for me otherwise and it is a problem with games that they can sometimes drag out when a decision has been made and everyone is just waiting for the lynch time. I would definitely incorporate this into future games but agree that it's better to leave it till day 3 to start it and to use it instead of speed days. Also really liked the poisoning mechanic. I've tried to incorporate a conversion mechanic into a game before and just couldn't figure out how to get it to work properly without the fear of the game being over on day 1 coz someone shoots the Typhoid Mary. This was the best way around that I think so kudos to the mods for the innovation. Will deffo be nominating that for the Wolfies (if it hasn't been already). Subbing - IMO if a sub is being used and discussion of subs is disallowed in the game thread then I think the mods should announce the sub on the thread. There were questions about previous Henry's vote for Frank on day 1 that I just couldn't explain. It nearly got me lynched. Congrats to the village on once again pulling the flaming underpants out of the fire and winning the game. I was sure ye were done for with the amount of wolves left when I died. And well done to the mods for a really beautifully run game.

Is this a tool that has been used before for new players? It seems like a special effort was made in this case. As it was, short and sweet, and didn't affect the game at all except for players going a bit meta at one stage. That's our own fault though. The starting with no D0 and beginning on a lynch was a bit jarring, felt like we were all kind of standing around looking at each other awkwardly for a bit. I can see the sense of it though as D0 is a weird limbo no mans land at the moment where stuff isn't supposed to count but really sorta kinda does when it suits.

Necro wrote: » We didn't expect the players to go into deep tunnel mode on what else could be in the game based off Bombadil, so I apologise for that, it's on me primarily.
Digital Solitude wrote: » Thanks for the game mods, great craic as usual, and a low post count meant it wasn't blistering to catch up in the morning, I was tending to take off around 6pm until the morning and usually only had about 100 posts to catch up on, which was nice, I think the busiest was like 350-400 which is a daily rate in most games. Really liked the majority lynch mechanic, got a hop when it landed so I think a mod posting that we were close to majority or even open voting would be a better way to continue it but it worked 100% as used here, way better than speed days and would love to see it back. Thats the gist of it tbh, good game all round
