Quick question, will day length be longer in games that use the geriatric ruleset?

Geriatric Games - Wins and Losses


Micro 778: Geriatric Grey Flag Nightless - Town Loss

Mirco 765: Chill Mafia - Town Victory

There are probably more, but I couldn't find them.

Well, so far it's been established that a.) the current meta is very vulnerable to prod dodging and lurking. (Curtesy of T-Bone! :))

And it's also been "established" - let's say - that b.) a geriatric game shouldn't be an excuse to go two to three days or more without posting. (Curtesy of mastina! :))

The "purpose" of Geriatric games is to let people post at a reasonable rate, without getting swamped by pages and pages and pages of multi posts made by other players. But this doesn't excuse a player from going without posting for more than the prod setting allows, since they technically "shouldn't" have an "excuse" to flake out i.e. the pages and pages and pages of posts made by other players.

However, with only a sample size of three, the only "real" conclusions we can some to right now include:

i.) The current meta is not suitable for past modding meta (Curtesy of Mastina!)
ii.) Towns cannot pull a victory if they are not active (TBF... this applies to both Geriatric and Non-Geriatric games)
iii.) Towns can pull a victory if they are active (Again... pretty obvious & this applies to both Geriatric and Non-Geriatric)
iv.) More DATA!

Shameless plug...
FWIW I do plan on hosting a Geriatric Large theme during the summer, but I've made a modification to the ruleset regarding prods. Specifically, the number of prods players are allowed to have before I replace them. I'm also going to be adopting Plotinus's Get A Room mechanic into the game as well.

So, discuss how a reduced # of prods (i.e. only allowed two prods instead of three) could affect the geriatric ruleset and/or current meta!

That is exactly why I'm attracted to Geriatric despite being, yes, a spam poster.

On the other hand, people should be able to recognize their limitations before signing up for a game, regardless if it's Geriatric or not. It's only fair to the others players and the Mod of the game. It's almost like making sure to read the rules before you play. You should do it to ensure that everyone has the best quality game.

This is a good idea! I'll see if I can get around to it - not any time soon. When I gather the data, I'll post it in the discussion thread.

@Korts

I don't think I'll be modding any time soon - likely not until next year -, but I did take a look back over my in-progress set-ups and decided that this one would be a good geriatric game. Posting this here in case anyone has any interest. Currently not accepting pre-ins, but if someone expresses interest, I can make a little note in this post. When I /in to Mod, I'll send anyone who's interested a PM and see if they'd like to reserve a slot for pre-in purposes.

The Cradle Will Fall

Image


Miracles born of misery. Tragedies bore of truths. From shattered shards, free yourself - crawling, bloody - from your caging cocoon and be reborn anew.

Chaos bore you from its heart. You and your siblings crawled from its cage of ribs… Crawling, bloody - do gods even bleed? What color does a god’s blood taste like? - trailing dying galaxies in your wake. Born with the power to create and destroy, you and your siblings slipped for Chaos’ cradle and crafted galaxies, worlds, civilizations, wars, life, and death.

Gods craft the rules of their world in the stars, in the marrow of their followers, and in the very cosmos they create. But even gods bend knee to one rule.

From chaos they were born and to chaos they will end.

The cage is open. A dried husk, waiting to be filled and bore anew. You must follow your destiny, but…

You may follow in the manner that you choose.


Information:

- Open Mountains Setup of 2 Mafia Goons versus 6 Vanilla Townies.
- Game is conditioned as nightless, as such, scum are not given a factional night kill.
- Prods are issued after a player has gone 36 hours without posting game relevant content in the thread.
- Players are only allowed to be prodded twice before being replaced.
- Original flavor - see example down below:

The Kindred
: Chaos. The Primal regard it merely as a tool to their own ends; to create galaxies and grow fat from their feasts of worship. With glass tipped claws, they scraped chaos from its cradle and demanded that it dance to their frail whims, erecting a gilded cage from its very own ribs. The Primal forget one vital piece of history… Chaos gave birth to them. You will not abandon your family. Chaos from which you were born and chaos will return from whence it came.


The Primal
: Chaos. Your beginning and your end. An end will come to all who begin. For beings like yourself, mortals address you and your kin as ‘gods’, that is the one rule that you must obey. The Kindred, or so they call themselves, believe that it is their profane right, alone, to be the ones who decide when the end will come. Arrogance in the highest order. They claim that you and your siblings conveniently forget the truth, but they could not be more wrong. You are family. You know your end is near, but it is not the Kindred’s right to be the executioners. It is not their right to stain their themselves with your blood. You know your fate and know that you must follow it, but you will follow it in the manner that you choose.

@RC - Currently undecided. Scum get to talk during all phases of the game, so I might consider making it nightless.

After reading this, I will update that post and make the game nightless.

@RC - Would you like me to make a little note of your interest?

Oops. Sorry. ^^;

Meant the 'interested to play games under the Geriatric ruleset' list, not the replacement list.
