Micro 755: The Hero We Deserve (Game Over)

flubber didn't use either right?
so if you just fake afk it prolly maintains status quo

[Elizibereth]

which had uc voting flubber right after the extend.

I think i would have been a likely NK choice if i didn't hammer. lol. Lucky2u said in scum thread that they thought that there might have been PR motive for hammering, but they didn't NK.


when i saw they got a PR, i was like DAMNIT

[chesskid3]

flubbers was worthless because he got prodded like 6x

[Archwing]

I only extended for town cred really. I gurss I shouldve lurked harder. Wah.

[callforjudgement]

Flubber actually became replaceable around an hour before the hammer, but the hammer had already happened by the time I saw it, meaning that there wasn't much of a point in actually doing the replacement.

What do people think of the deadline/activity rules, incidentally? I'm fairly happy with them – they seem to have been the most effective at encouraging a 7p to keep moving of any I've tried – but if they're unfair on the players or otherwise problematic, I'd like to know about that so that I can fix the problem. (One change I'm planning to make to them in future is to add a few extra hours on the prod timer so that if you make one post per day, it doesn't have to be at exactly the same time each day.)

[UC Voyager]

it was interesting. it definitely adds more to the game

[chesskid3]

I think it's maybe 4-8 hours too fast on the prod timers. Some pretty active people got prodded like clockwork

I mean not me because I'm a proud hyperposter but yeah

[UC Voyager]

yea. i got a prod which surprised me lol

[Archwing]

Agreed. Just a hair too fast. I liked it though. Encouraged more active involvement

[callforjudgement]

Hmm, I guess it's unanimous that it's slightly too fast (given that I think that too!).
Next time I run a 7p I'll use the same technique but make the prod timers a bit slower (probably 32 hours).

[Lucky2u]

"chess is playing like Theodore Roosevelt. "

lmao what

Speak calmly and carry a big stick

[checkersman7]

O

[Flubbernugget]

I'm always a low quantity poster, but I've won the past 2-3 games I've been endgamed in so I don't see much incentive to change it.

I might try an activity thing like this when I'm less busy than I am now.

So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.
