[_random_]

I'll be in.

 

[Mise]

Yes! Now I can downvote Mise for being Welsh like in the good old times.

It's OOOOWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNN.

 

[Zelig]

Sign me up so hard.

 

[Takhisis]

It's OOOOWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNN.

Well, the moment Wales stops being part of England I'll be devoid of reasons for downvoting you.

 

[Snerk]

Also in.

 

[Double A]

I want to see how long I last.

 

[Takhisis]

Also in.

shall we do this back to back, my Snerkful brother in arms?

 

[Snerk]

You know I do my best work with your back up against me, my Takhisian comrade.


Wait..

 

[Earthling]

Can we make it a bit more dificult for non-players to disrupt the game?

I had no clue on the actual rule on this and assumed that people who weren't on the list were still allowed to vote, as it was rampant in the past games. (I was in on number three and just observed number two iirc, but I thought that was common practice).

However the way you and several others have put it it does make sense then and I'd agree - people shouldn't vote if they weren't an original player.

I'm in again. At least owe a few votes to Dachs this time, I was a bit unhappy he got taken down and lost and I wasn't even around.

 

[Abaddon]

I'll consider it if the majority only want active players voting...?

 

[Mise]

That's cool, but actually I'd go even further and make it so that even people who get eliminated can't vote again until sudden death. Cos like, at the moment, say I'm having an epic battle with Takh: we have a tit-for-tat that both leaves us reeling on 4 points each. We call a truce at that stage, and stop voting each other down; meanwhile, our allies vote us up a bit, so that now he's on 10 and I'm on 8. At this point, Takhisis sees that he has the upper hand over me, and can eliminate me in another 4-round tit-for-tat. So he stabs me in the back, and I get eliminated while he's on 4 points. Takhisis declares victory! And I accept defeat.

But actually, that's not such a big deal, and really not a victory at all for Takhisis, because I can still vote him down even when I'm dead. So he dies after 2 days anyway. And actually, you have much more free reign to vote people down when you're dead than when you're alive, because there's no way of retaliating against a dead person. For a geographical-based game it's not even an issue, but for a person-based game it would be nice if we could have individual battles where you can actually win and lose, rather than just lose a few days earlier than the other guy.

I guess disallowing dead players from voting might make the mid-game go too slowly, though. I don't know what other people think. Other ideas might be to make it so that dead people can only vote down OR up but not both. Or their downvotes are only worth 1 point rather than 2. Or they can only vote once every 3 days instead of once per day. Or any/all combinations of those things. What do you guys think?

 

[civplayah]

Its all part of the game!

Really? Because I never OMGUS unless there's an obvious vendetta against me.

 

[civplayah]

Also in.

I'm betting all my money that you'll win.

 

[GamezRule]

I support limits for eliminated players.

 

[Yoshiegg737]

I'm in

 

[Perfection]

I don't think eliminated players should have any less of a vote than nonplayers. What we could have is a voting bonus for noneliminated players.

In the event that eliminated players get less votes than nonplayers, I'm out.

 

[Abaddon]

Personally I want everyone to vote, those involved or not.

 

[GamezRule]

Lets have anybody whose name is not on the list get a downvote of 1 instead of 2. That way anybody can participate, but the game isn't totally ruined by people randomly showing up and constantly downvoting one person.

 

[Snerk]

I'm betting all my money that you'll win.

I'll take that bet!
