Scioly Assassination 63: The Mob Seizes Power

[starpug]

we talked about impeachment but then realized that people would vote for impeachment just to end the game if the assassin is about to win or if they are mad because they died.

except only live people could vote and you can't impeach without the assassin going missing for a week or more

Questions...
A) Would the five-person limit be back in brobo's rules?
B) Why not have an initial 30 days and then a vote on continuing?

Question - why not just go back to the original

Because there are problems with it that we feel could be solved with this rule adjustment.

I have another idea: if the limit ceased to be five people, maybe give the first five one accusation from the start- to keep the old spirit of checking the forum constantly for the new game.

You do realize...that you'd be giving the Assassin a huge advantage, just for the sake of keeping an old antiquated rule that makes you refresh the main page constantly, taking up bandwith, just so you can get a spot in the game?

Don't argue your point with the "using up bandwidth" claim, by far the largest users of bandwidth are indexing bots.

A- No. Everyone also hated that rule, and starpug got rid of it. It was one of the few points that I think most of us liked about this game- there was no limit on who could play.

B- Because that rule would limit an assassin on what he/she could do, it's better to have no limit. However I do like the idea of impeachment after a 30 day game and a time of a week that the assassin has been missing.

Alrighty then. New assassin been chosen yet?

[zyzzyva980]

I have sent the choice to the assassinator, so it's out of my hands now.
