    vote: Riedquat

    I think we should avoid long time travels, say more than 2 rounds, if we keep all votes close.

    CountArach (Chaotix, Montmorency)
    Greyblades (Arjos, Yarapolk)
    Arjos (Greyblades, Ishmael)
    Yarapolk (Lewwyn, Tuuvi)
    SalmonSoil (issaikhaan, Riedquat)

    Since we are allowed to state our role names, do you guys think we should all state who we are? I think it might make it easier to figure things out once we read the write ups.

    The vote was just random like everyone else's.

    The other part was because so many people are affected by long time travels. One or two (Close votes and night kills) each round that you travel and for example for a 4 round trip you get 5 or 6 dead people returning and the same number of living players that die.

    As the clocks and the hourglasses of T.I.M.E begin to shudder the arguments between all the time travellers heighten there seems to be an agreement made. Since they still have access to the time travel devices they should keep all these decisions close so that any time traveller from the future could easily change the result of what just occurred. It is thus decided that all should be made to feel the pressure of the vote regardless of actual suspicion. It comes from this result that six people are put up before the Gods of Time as the first people who could be the T.I.M.E agents. With six people to be chosen from how could it be done so it was fair. A random number mayhap could be given to each candidate to determine this. It is agreed all the people turn to the good Inspector Spacetime for him to be the one to organise this since it is known that Inspector Spacetime could not possible be evil. He turns to those facing him and hands them one by one a stick from his hand. Once that is complete they all open their hands to see who will be the first sacrificed. It turns out to be Jack Harkness (Arjos) a former T.I.M.E agent who long ago left the organisation. He accepts his fact with calmness knowing that with time travel this death will be purely temporary. He walks to the portal and is promptly removed from the time stream. Inspector Spacetime talks to those present. It is time we all go to bed. Was the decision we made a bad one? Should we change its result? Now remember everyone we can only travel to any given place once so it is a question we must ask is it worth it to do it now? Or should we await more information.

    Captain B - can I please request that you add vote tally's to the writeup. With time travel powers i think its very important to keep track of who is voting for whom.

  10. #100

    Default Re: Time Travelers Timewarp [In Play]

    Aha!

    That won't work, Yaro. You see, tallies will not be updated with manipulations!

    The only indicator that any votes were changed would be a change in the Living Player list.

    it is known that Inspector Spacetime could not possible be evil.
    Who exactly is evil here? The TIME agents only want to prevent us from making the whole universe die!

    I believe he meant the normal tally so that you in the future easily can see how the votes can have been altered.

    2 CountArach (Chaotix, Montmorency)
    2 Greyblades (Arjos, Yarapolk)
    2 Arjos (Greyblades, Ishmael)
    2 Yarapolk (Lewwyn, Tuuvi)
    2 SalmonSoil (issaikhaan, Riedquat)
    1 Riedquat (edse)
    1 Ishmael (LazyMcCrow)
    1 Montmorency (Visorslash)
    1 edse (CountArach)

    3 No Vote (DaveShack, atheotes, Salmonsoil)

    If he does begin to include tallies, and alter them as per your suggestion, then yes, things will become much easier, or at least much more interesting.

    However, I have seen no indication that he will do it.

    No, I meant that he won't edit them. Like if Riedquat is lynched when the new day starts we can see that two people might have changed their vote by looking at CB's post with the tally.

    How could you tell? Any of the players might have switched.

    For example, if no one switches tonight but me, I could have Greyblades lynched and it wouldn't have anything to do with Arjos or Yaro...

    So you think we shouldn't care about previous days tallies at all?

    You'll still know whom voted for whom (originally) of course, but in a game like this scope for bussing/distancing is huge.

    So, basically, yeah. It's worth very little.

    I think that's probably what edse was getting at.

    If you're town, scum will lynch you to shut you up.

    If you're scum, town will lynch you because you're scum.

    There's no being a super-townie in this game...

    Where we're we told that there were no super townies?

    Okay I think the write up clues us in on things here. Argos is innocent because Harkness is invariably a good character in his shows and the write up seems to conform that. I'm guessing that we can't reveal our characters but if we experiment a bit with who we kill it looks like the write ups will at least tell us if we got someone scummy.

    Also CB - You wouldn't happen to be a fan of community would you?

    By super-townies, I mean high-profile clearly-town-assisting type players, not power roles.

    As for Arjos - can't say that for sure. It would kind of defeat the purpose of the game if we were told who was innocent and who not once we killed them- it would make the time travel a lot less interesting as a concept.

    I dont think you are getting any indication of scum from the role name and perhaps even the writeups.

    Eh, that would actually make him more suspicious considering he's already been working for T.I.M.E and has a connection with the organization, still, I would imagine getting one of the mafia would have incurred a more violent incident in the writeup... Unless that bit about "this death will be purely temporary" is alluding to how the Time agents are likely top resurrect a fallen comrade after this timewarp is done. Hmm... I kinda wish arjos turned out to be the doctor at least there'd be a decent chance he's on the up and up story wise and resurrecting him would be a no brainer.
