Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

    Are proposals limited to one idea? Or can we have multiple rule/role changes together in one proposal document?

    Crap, you're right.

    I propose that 4 random living players be action seered every night. Those who are action seered cannot be targeted by the random action seer again until a day has passed. The second ruling will be ignored if the number of players is low enough to where there must be repeats to meet the demands of the rule. I challenge @Gizzy to argue otherwise.

    I like this one a lot, but I worry that it will disqualified on the grounds that, as the game goes on, it will become quite time-consuming for the host to assign pen pals to the dead.

    Not that difficult. There is a living player list, just use ceiling(N*unif()) for each dead player. Where N is the number of living players and unif() is a random (0,1) uniform number.

    Also, talking to the dead in and of itself doesn't help much, does it?

    And I think adding more debates, as Phyphor proposes, would be a lot more time consuming for the host.

    Depends on who the dead person is.

    I mean, say the dead person is a seer who has seered a mafia but hasn't told anyone yet because he doesn't have a mouthpiece. That person has a lot to say.

    Or a vig who shot someone and they didn't die, and he dies the same night. That's interesting.

    I'd say it depends a lot more on who the live person is.

    Picture this scenario.

    1. Seer targets a mafia, dies before they can share the news.
    2. Seer talks to Player A, exposing them as mafia
    3. Player A does nothing with the news
    4. Next day, seer talks to player B, with seer information AND info on Player A

    or

    1. Player C dies.
    2. Player C randomly talks to a special, Player D. (remember that Player C is confirmed at this point, unless they are a death thrall)
    3. next day, Player C talks to Player E, possibly letting Player E be the mouthpiece for the special player D.

    Interesting stuff

    If I was the host I would rule that as one-way communication: dead to living. That would break your second scenario as D can't tell C he's a special (or anything)

    Ah, that is up to interpretation. So the rule could use a little cleaning up, but i think it would make for an unique game.

    Why is the players chosen at random and not the dead players choice. Guess I'm missing why that's an advantage or why the clause is necessary to fit in with the rules.

    Can we just click the agree button on the proposal we like more? I hate having to look back to find a post and quote it with my phone.

  • Zombie HeroZombie Hero Registered User regular
    That's true, they should just make it player's choice. Ghost Rule Amended:

    I propose that dead players gain the ability to send and receive messages to a single player of their choice. The dead player may choose a different person each day. I challenge Grunt's Ghosts to prove otherwise.

    This is SlyM's idea, so if he wants to renominate so he gets to argue for it, then abdicating my own nomination would be the right thing to do.

    This is getting a bit technical, but the communication rule might be disqualified on the grounds that living players are affected differently than dead players.
  • SLyMSLyM Registered User regular
    My rule was made with the intention of it being 2-way communication but I guess that wasn't completely clear. and random because I think it's funnier that way

    SLyM, if you want to amend\re-state your rule with two way clarification and random communication, you'll have my support. Then i could go back to geth day kills.

    Same could be said of a rule like:

    All players that have a victory condition of outnumbering the village shall have their identities announced in narration.
