Scioly Assassination 62: Game Over

Post by Assassinator »

Code: Select all

Shall we play a game?

Greetings members of the scioly forums, my name is Joshua. As much as I would prefer a nice game of chess, I cannot help but engage myself in an opportunity such as this.
1. The police officers will be the next five people who post. Put in a bit of thought before posting. If you have not been around for awhile, it is less likely that you will be able to identify me.

2. People will die. However, there are some exceptions. I will not kill administrators or moderators. In return, I ask that they not reveal my identity.

3. Police officers may die, but a police officer may protect another police officer.

4. Once a police officer has made three incorrect accusations, he may not accuse or protect anyone.

5. The assassin will provide clues which plainly point to his next victim, and occasionally to himself.

6. The assassin will continue to post with his true account, and may provide hints there.

7. The assassin will write entertaining and mildly gruesome accounts of his kills.

8. When accusing someone of being Assasinator you must use the following template "I accuse (place name here) because (give reason here)." If you don't use this template when accusing the accusation won't count.

9. Once "killed" a user may not make any statements about the identity of the Assasinator.

10. The assassinator is allowed to kill if 3 days have passed since the posting of the clue and not all protects have been made. If all protects have been made and 3 days have passed since then the officers are all allowed one additional protect

11. If the assassinator does not reply in 8 days after all protects are made, each officer gets a free accusation. However that accusation must be made next time the user posts and cannot be stored as an extra one to use later.

12. The Assasinator reserves the right to add to these rules as he deems necessary.

In.

Edit: I've got quite a problem with:
6. If an accusation does not garner the approvals needed, the accusation will be considered "used".
Very harsh and competitively biased towards you Assassinator.

And on a second thought, if this round was an attempt to move towards more thoughtful protecting and accusing, this is counter productive towards your goals. Since the accusation will be used if the approvals aren't gathered, no one will hesitate to "approve" even if its a bad accusation.

EDIT: wtf sassy....you know just as much as I do it's next to impossible to have all officers active much less the 4/5 needed to even protect.....I'd say those rules fall under the abuse of the sassy can add rules as he/she deems necessary. It makes the game very bias towards you

EDIT2: especially with the officer who just joined being someone I've only seen once.....

EDIT: Well, it looks like i missed it.

Sorry guys, i went on a grocery run :(

anyways, i think the sassy seriously needs to rethink these new rules....They are WAY TOO DEMANDING! People who play this game have lives, they can't just bend over backwards for a simple posting game. You need to loosen the rules sassy, or NO ONE will play.

EDIT2: Also, if destroyallspiders would like to watch the game be played/not participate, may I have his spot, sassy? If not, i can understand....

I agree, the mob rule idea was decent enough (I have some doubts about its viability just due to more activeness being needed, but in theory it is good and definitely worth a try) but this isn't a good implementation.
