OOC Thread

[Privateerkev]

Yo, I haven't been here a while (AP Tests + Reluctance to test the game I won't be able to play in), but do I just give orders for Viscount Jacques in the Orders thread or do I have to implement them myself?

1.) You can post in the SOT and say what you want to do.

2.) You can take the save and move yourself.

3.) You can PM OverKnight OOC and ask him to move you when he takes the save back.

Either of these will work.

neato! thanks

Unless anyone wants to propose legislation, does anyone mind if I post an Impeachment Poll? Or should I wait for TC to do it.

While this will be a nice test of the new influence system, I would like to expedite things so we can continue with the game.

Not sure about the others, but you can put me in the "doesn't mind if OK goes ahead and does the poll" camp.

I can't help but think this will still delay the game a day or two, but it's nice to test another component of the new rules.

You can go ahead, OK.

wow, I just realized Guillemot's stats really really suck. :P

So, is this like KotR where everyone get a "vote" but you add influence to it? The only difference being you have to make sure you don't go above the cap for your rank?

So "voting power" would be 1 vote + influence up to rank cap?

And Chancellor adds 2 because it is an emergency session unless his own stats are really high?

Eh... kind of. The KOTR system never made complete sense to me. For that everyone had 1 vote, and then we lumped more influence on top of it. For this game, influence INCLUDES the 1 base vote. The caveat being that everyone gets a minimum of 1 vote, no matter what their stats are.

If you are a rank that only allows a max of 1 influence, we don't even need to count your stat influence, since it doesn't make a difference. That's why Knight and Baron only list influence as 1. Technically, they have "Up to 1 Stat Influence" but since no one can go below 1, there's not much point in doing the stat calculation.

However, in order to get 2 votes, you have to have the stats for 2 influence. A Viscount who meets none of the stat influence requirements gets 1 vote due to the minimum rule. A Viscount who meets 1 of the stat influence requirements gets 1 vote. A Viscount who meets 2 of the stat influence requirements gets 2 votes. A Viscount who meets 3 of the stat influence requirements gets 2 vote because he is at the cap.

An easy summary is as follows:

All voting power is determined directly by stat influence, except that voting power can never be lower than 1 and it cannot be higher than that allowed by the rank cap(s). The only non-stat influence voting power in the entire game belongs to Chancellors and ex-Chancellors, who have their own rules.

Impeachment poll is up, I'm going to load the latest save and work out everyone's influence and edit it in. Someone who isn't being impeached should check my math.

I am going to have to withdrawal from this. Something has gone wrong with my computer and no game will load up. Everything else seems fine, but when I try to load games the screen just turns black. Sorry to inconvenience you all.
