I was caught off guard by the lynching, partly because of work and other things I was doing last night, and partly because I was taking a bit of a breather because I got REALLY overenthusiastic and game-hyper yesterday.
But I’m not joining those calling for a countdown - yet. It’s going to be a long enough game anyway, and a bit of sudden death makes things interesting.
I will think about it “tonight” and post a final decision about the countdown with the morning post.
I think a bit of a cooldown period may be necessary for those who only have access to the thread for a small portion of the day. But it may be something that I won’t keep in there permanently. I might take it out when the game switches to majority vote to lynch.
I will let you know. Until then, opinions are welcome if anyone feels strongly one way or the other.
I would like the countdown. It gives the condemned a chance to talk their way out(what if Enfant Terrible was a Mason? We wouldn’t have had the chance to change our minds). I’m definitely in favour of anything that can reign in overzealous lynch mobs.
I’d like to say that I think a countdown is a good idea. Twelve hours should suffice. It is taking a while to read and analyze all these posts, and I can’t be in the thread all the time.
Another vote for the 12 hour countdown. In the last game, OAOW was able to talk himself out of a lynching, and rightfully so, in the last game.
And another vote for 12 hour countdowns. As I found out this morning being out west of everybody except Fern Forest can leave you a little bit out of the flow.
I agree about the 12 hour countdowns.
The countdown sounds like a good idea to me, too.
I believe Sturmhauke saved someone as well, which revealed his seerness, and pretty much clinched the game for the town. So a 12 hour countdown, at least at the beginning when it seems a page an hour is being created is necessary IMO.
12-hour countdown sounds good to me.
Vote Tally:
12-hour count down: storyteller0910, Queuing, Fretful Porpentine, Gadarene, Monkey Mensch, hocow, pimaspinner, Rysto, Kat…
I’ll cast the lynching 10th vote for 12-hour count down
I vote for a 12 hour countdown as well. When I left for work this morning, I had read up to post 382. I had a bit of a hectic day and didn’t get to check the thread at all. I just now got finished reading it, 168 posts later! I had a few thoughts that I spent part of the day putting together, intending to post them as soon as I got home. Imagine my surprise when I found out I was about 8 hours too late.
Ah well, at least Enfant Terrible’s death was not totally in vain. to see **MadTheSwine **and **Winston Smith **together like this, it almost makes the heart leap for joy!
Hey, them sounds like killer words! 
You mean there’s not a sequential thread going on? I thought there almost always was. Hell, I think that’d be worth it, assuming enough of the dope is following to get it.
I’m a teacher and my term finished last week, so I’m on holiday. 
Even so, I missed the lynching! :eek:
I don’t know how regular posters could keep up.
Also it was very disappointing to see Enfant Terrible offer justification for not being lynched a couple of posts after the deed had been done. 
Vote for 12 hour countdown after enough lynching votes received.
P.S. Presumably in the later stages with less surviving players, the required number for lynching goes down?
I’m sure there is an accompanying thread strictly for spectators and deceased players.
I think Winston Smith confessed to accidently posting in it ( :eek: ).
I think I might have to start getting up early. There were more posts while I slept then while I was at work and the gym.
P.S. I’m using a trick I learned from Calvin & Hobbes. I’ve taken a Halloween mask and am wearing it on the back of my head. That way nobody can tell if I can see them or not. It’s genius.
Another vote for the 12-hour Window of Life™. Give the doomed the time to speak out, role-claim, or at least work up a good set of last words for us! Maybe a death-poem or something? Whatever boats their float.
/in real life, once only explanaiton for the doomed*
I am playing a characer in this game. React as you see fit. As per my silence today, I had a 12 hour work day ^^;;;;
***** /role-play on
I suspects everyone who’s too nice or too quiet. My gut is leaning towards Blaster Master latllies, but I gots no solid evidence. I heard about some randoms killler lasts night, and that worrys me the most. Actually that’s not true, I got into a fist fight with my local frat today, and that scares me the most >_<;;;
I’ll take a whisky sour while we’re waiting to find out who’s been murdered.
Sheesh. :rolleyes:
Your first piece of analysis and you post it in a time when you are forbidden to do so. :smack:
Why don’t you read the rules?
