I opened the group for private topics with marathons
I may not be able to run a game this time due to some real life conflicts.
Anyone is welcome to run any game I designed and can let me know how well it runsWhen I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga
Now I test lottery and gambling software as my job. It's funny how my life has turned out. Somewhere a Time Traveler is laughing madly-

Thanks very much. Hope your weekend is a blast, even if you don't get a chance to pop in!
It will feel strange having a marathon weekend without an attempt to run EIASK.
But it would feel even stranger running it without you :<-

Marathon weekend is on!!!
I've had some requests from people privately so have set up an 'unofficial' discord server, mostly so I can @ people when there's upcoming weekends (or cool setups are being run). Might also store game stats here for quick reference.

Before I forget, I want to run this game. It's suited for a marathon game.

There are some similarities to Angel Nightless here (in particular, there's an obvious HURT: /HEAL: tag usage), but the setup seems notably different in nature as it's mostly about saving people, rather than about throwing them out. (The "hurt" action is there as a safety valve against trolling scum; I suspect that most of the time, it would be a bad idea to use it. Both "hurt" and "heal" leave the town/scum balance of food the same if used correctly, and shift it by 2 if used on the wrong alignment, though, so they may turn out to be equally viable.)
The "two townies must live" rule seems to be necessary to avoid breaking strategies (such as choosing the most obvious townie and forcing everyone to pile up their food onto that player). That's a bit of a pain, as it makes the (otherwise very simple) setup a bit harder to explain, but I guess we'll have to live with it.
Can anyone see a breaking strategy here and/or does anyone think this is unbalanced? If not, I'm considering running it.-

I recommend you change the "24 hours" to something a bit lower! Apart from that, it should work, although it'll likely be a lot of effort for the mod.In post 182, BNL wrote:Before I forget, I want to run this game. It's suited for a marathon game.scum· scam · seam · team · term · tern · torn ·town-

Of course! I'm thinking of 20 food and 1 food per minute.In post 184, callforjudgement wrote:

Oh, and for modding purposes, it's probably easier to use "You need X food to be alive X minutes into the game" rather than "You lose 1 food every minute". Both are equivalent, but the first is a lot easier on the brain.-

Starvation Island (7p) was run with a town win!
Oh, and DON'T mod this game unless you have a bot.-

It would be feasible to run it using 24 hour time to run out of food. Have the thread autolock at the end of each day and then resolve the food counts then. You wouldn't need a bot in that case (except for the autolocking feature).-

I did say I thought it would be a lot of effort for the mod!
If you're running it on a more normal timescale, instead of an autolock, you can just do "vote counts" once per day and do the daily decrement during the votecount. Managing a vote count every minute would be pretty difficult, though.scum· scam · seam · team · term · tern · torn ·town-

Sorry to necro this.
You could potentially run adjacent Timers for each player, then edit the timer as more food is added/taken away.
I'm not sure if I can think of a clever way to get them all to run to the exact microsecond, but votecounts of this format may be digestible.
Spoiler:
Now that I'm typing this I realise that I really want to try and build a solution in Excel.-

i'll be in transit for this one, so won't be organising anything 'big' (I'll still run & play games when I can)
anyone got some new opens they'd like to try and run?-

Group, as you may or may not be aware, I am looking to overhaul the Open queue. Right now I am working with some members of the Wiki team to do some research. viewtopic.php?f=135&t=80500
The next (yet to be announced) step will be to start reviewing the actual list. One thing that would be very helpfully to me, as we get to that point, is for games, both currently on the approved list, and potential set-ups, to be run as much as possible. I will accept Marathon games as part of that data collection if the playerlists take them seriously.
So, there are some approved open set-ups with not a lot of game history, and I am sure there are plenty of games we could look to add to the approved list. So, please feel free to run some of those games during Marathon weekend!-
