> [@Inner\_Stickler](#): > > It would be great if we had a known scum and a suspicious player, other than that, I’d prefer to avoid lynching two players at the same time. I’m certain that I’d love to lynch 2 people quite frequently. Certain exceptions apply. But it’s 2 lynches per night kill. What happens if we have a 3 way tie? He’ll we could potentially get a mason claim and lynch everyone else ---

> [@](#): > > I’m making one change to the way we resolve ties, in the hope that it also fixes the win condition issue. Whomever reaches the top vote count first dies. I’m not gonna be nearly so chatty once the game starts, so don’t get used to this, but I want to make the rules clear, since it’s my fault you guys are confused. Ties no longer lynch both players; instead, the first player to top the vote count dies. ---

Uh, please realize we revised the “two death” rule on tie breaks. **Only the person who gets to the top vote total first dies**. Astral mentioned it, but it may need to be stated more clearly. ---

> [@Romanic](#): > > Got my PM. > > Not happy about a level cap, I’m working on a mod to change that. You’ll just have to wait for the sequel. “Defenders of De’endee 2: Electric Boogaloo” Followed by “Defenders of De’endee 3: The Revengening.” Then maybe “Defenders of De’endee 4: Son of De’endee.” Probably time for the gritty reboot after that. ---

To be absolutely clear on the rules, I have another question. Re: > [@Rule 8](#): > > You may discuss any communications with the moderators. You mean that we can openly in the thread reveal/discuss any communications we personally have had with moderators, right? If so, does this include posting PMs aside from claims? The reason I ask is 'cause I know in past games this was discouraged. P.S. I hope the fact that [del]most[/del] basically all of my info re: D&D is gleaned from _Order of the Stick_ will not put me at too much of a disadvantage. 😃 ---

Some people have checked in via PM, and some people have said they’ll be away for the weekend and will miss the start of the game. My goal is to begin the game tomorrow, around 5 or 6 pm. I’d do it earlier, but I’ll away on a weekend job myself! Get your wizard hats on, and get ready to [del]role[/del]play! ---

Ok, don’t know the rules as for a non-player asking a rule clarification, but I had a question, and I know someone might take advantage… so… let me ask… If a non-player isn’t allowed to ask, then just ignore this. > [@Mahaloth](#): > > Uh, please realize we revised the “two death” rule on tie breaks. **Only the person who gets to the top vote total first dies**. What happens if a tie happens with one person voting? I.E., everyone voting for the same two people, one vote of each per a player. Since the tie happened in the same post, how do you score it? Had the idea due Pleo’s first multi-vote in the thundercats game, and how the mod handled it. ---
