It says 30/30 to me

 

Okay. First feedback: I dislike the role cards. They are great for cutting them out when you play it offline, I guess, but it's a hassle here. I always print out the rules and roles, because I'm the old-fashioned reads-and-writes-things-on-paper-guy, and that just isn't really working here. Drives me nuts. I want to know by heart what every role can do, not just mine, and I want a sheet of paper for it, and here I have to turn my screen sideways to read all the cards.

@Chocholate Pi: Compare it with this to see what I mean. That is handy. Any chance you could bring it into that form? Otherwise, I'll do it.

 

Okay, so I was fed up by now and made it myself. I c/p straight from the online description, in the Moscone thing. The thing with the King's Court is contradictory (decide at night, or before the night?)

Also, remember what I said?

There was a reason. That we now have players playing without knowing their roles and their faction(!) is just ridiculous. Time between the role and faction assignments and the game start gives everyone a chance to familiarise themselves with their roles, and draw up a few strategies if they so desire; and additionally, it prevents clusterfucks like we see it here from happening.

Not a problem at all; you're very much entitled to explain your POV. It's not like I've bought the one and only truth somewhere. It's interesting that there should be games like you describe, I didn't know that -- I only ever played it the way I laid out in my post, and personally, I think it's the better way.

As for how we made sure that everyone knew their role and faction: When we played it on qts, everyone had to post a confirmation into it before the game begun or get kicked out (not that this ever was a problem, but then we had enough time between sending out the links and gamestart as well -- sometimes as much as days).

This just as an explanation for you to see where I'm coming from.


Also, if you made the day as long as it is because of the no-delay at gamestart, is this just for day 1 then? (Personally, I prefer fast-paced games with shorter days, 48-72 hours, but YMMV, since not everyone can check the thread every hour.)

 

There are two open spots in the game. Anyone interested in jumping in PM Chocolate Pi or mail him or something (Chocolate.pi at gmail etc. pp.)
