Good morning, good day or good evening to all of you, depending on where you live and what time of day you're reading this.
'tis truly a pleasure to play in a game with all of you. I am ZeL1nK2, but you may call me "Town" or "Townie" depending on which of these you'd prefer. I am not picky. You can even come up with your own nickname for me if you prefer. Like "Towniepoo" or even "Town-chan" if you're into that sort of thing.
Before we continue, I'd like to discuss the mechanics in this game. If you haven't looked at the public mechanic, I'd suggest you look at it now.
Essentially, voting for anyone we're not lynching is anti-town. Also, dragging the day phase out unnecessarily is anti-town.
As a way to get around this, what I would suggest this game is rather than voting people, we pseudovote people. This can be done, for example, by typing something like
Pseudovote: X
(or if you want to go with something gimmicky,
Trout Slap: X
). You don't even need to bold it. I would personally keep track of pseudo votecounts as often as I can. Maybe not every post, but every other post. The way this works is that once someone gets enough pseudo votes that they would be hammered, we all vote that person. This prevents anyone who isn't lynched from having their darkness unnecessarily increased. Also, if we agree to this, I'll keep track of pseudo votecounts for as long as I'm alive, but someone would need to do it for me if I die. Also, this serves to slowly infuriate pieguy as he is required to post votecounts where nobody is actually voting. Haha, pieguy. Haha. If we follow this plan, I would suggest everyone requests frequent votecounts from him.
The other thing I'd propose is that we
try
to achieve a lynch within either 96 hours (before it reaches 4 days) or within 144 hours (before it reaches 6 days). This
should
theoretically be enough time for us to discuss things without rushing, while minimising the amount of darkness we all receive from taking too long to lynch.
This game punishes town lurking so please try to remain active if you're actually town. I don't care if
you think lurking is protown. Don't do it.
I'm open to hearing any opinions on this or ideas about how to improve this plan.
The long and short of it, though, is that nobody should be voting anyone today. Pseudovote. Don't actually vote. #pieguysvotecountsareuseless
In before TL;DR
