Well, just got back from the hospital, and everything is all clear, although Iam extremely hungry and a bit dizzy. They did several blood tests (My blood is rather mineral rich, almost black in color), did a cat scan (found no traces of felines ) and my body functions as if I was 10 years younger. The lady who saw me was very thorough.

Speaking of my Doctor, I am tempted to maim myself just to go back and see her. She was a wonderfully petite, young blond with a wonderful sense of humor and a light but reassuring voice that sounded like it belonged to Betty Boop. I didn't ask for her number because I chickened out.

So, any suggestions on which part of my body should start bleeding profusely?

Don't get hurt man, go right back to that hospital and ask for her number! You can do it!

Doctors can't date people they're treating so you have to work around that. IE Conversation rather than bleeding.

Bad news on the black blood there. Do you combust when exposed to sunlight?

Anyway, I recommend a full physical. Tell her you're joining the army or something. Make sure it's thorough. (but only ask for two fingers)

Aww...I just want to make it awkward. I'm not good at this "dating thing" especially the "starting" part .

Seems the most valid point, if only I had the guts

Actually, no, I do not combust on contact with sunlight . It's just mineral rich, I'm not an Orc or Vampire people!

Lets be clear YLC.

Get in their son!!

Maybe it's because my avatar got curb stomped, but I'm ready for the main event to begin.

Kudos to TheFlax for running the Tourney. I think we got some good character moments.

Join the club. Might as well go in and tell her that you never know how to ask somebody out for a date and ask her if she wants to ask you out instead

Apologies, I got an early birthday dinner with the family last evening and when I got back home, I was spent. Nevertheless, at 5 AM I woke up with a sense of purpose and telling myself "Screw this sleeping thing, I've got a tournament to run!"

So here I am, the writeup should be up within an hour or so.

With the tournament coming to a close I better get the final changes for the save.

Could everyone pm me their preferred starting location so I can teleport their characters there?

First Council should start within a day or so.

Sacre bleu! I fight off three bastards, dismount the winner of the tournament, and don't get an honourary mention? I've been robbed I tell you, robbed! Clearly, Felix is biased against me

Well done everyone, and a huge thanks to theFlax for organising all this!!!

Good job everyone, and great job keeping track of the Tourney TheFlax. I think I may end up missing most of the council session, as I am going to NYC, just to let everyone know.

I've never had much interest in those games so this may be a silly question, but how important is it to have a certain number of players?

I'm working on the Council thread. It should be up tonight, and I'll try to get all the console work done within the next day or so. I figured the Council took some precedence since there's no need to make people wait on the rping while it I add traits and move people around.

The game has a certain amount of power roles and it needs 75 players in order for it to be properly balanced. Anything less results in one side having a greater chance to win than is necessary.

BTW, I know Flax is going to whop me for saying this, but there's no rush with the Council. I still have a thing or two I need to work on.

It depends on the game. The more complex the game, the more 'roles' the host has to create beforehand. Play balance is important to keep the game interesting, since it's not much fun if one team or another is handicapped before it even starts. Thus, hosts generally try and figure out an 'ideal' number of players so that they can properly balance the number of 'roles' on each side. If a game gets too few or too many players, this can cause scaling problems if it's not easy to re-arrange the roles. Many hosts anticipate this problem in advance and have provisions for various setups based on different levels of participation.

The 'Capo' series is somewhat unique. It's far and away the largest mafia game that we run... double the size of what is normally considered a 'large' game. For Capo, I don't think play balance is too much of an issue since the host (Seamus) is extremely experienced at hosting these things. However, the game is great fun simply due to the unique nature of its massive size. In Capo, the more participants, the more fun it is.

Interesting. I only looked at the rules for a couple of those games. I had no idea so much thought went towards balance.

GH: I think TheFlax will rebel and post the COuncil thread himself if I don't get on it.

Council thread is posted but no hurry. If people have problems I'll be happy to extend the deadline beyond Sunday, this being the first Council and all.

FAQ should be up within the day as well.

Gah! I put the Council thread in the "LOTR" category.

That's what I get for doing these things in the evening.

Can that be edited? Or should we we just lock it and start anew?

I can't change it, but I suspect TinCow will be able to. Since there's a post in it already I'll just ask him to, unless Iggy wants to agree to repost right now if I closed an reposted...

Posted the FAQ and rules thread. The FAQ section is likely to grow quite a bit over the course of the week...

Announcement: I just noticed some talk of what settlements to conquer, quite natural with the game starting. However, Econ21 has made a few changes for me, mostly giving each AI factions some more starting troops to make up for our giant horde of general's bodyguards. Here's the save post AI buff (although generals have not been moved to proper starting locations or gotten their tourney traits). I suspect it will help in planning on how many avatars and troops to send, etc.

As far as the tournament, how do people feel about participants getting the "Tourney Entrant" trait as stated? It fits well roleplaying, and gives a small award for participation. Do people think it's unfair to dread avatars (as they can reject the trait, but then get nothing)?

AussieGiant 09:05 08-05-2009
Giving the option is fine Zim.

It's role playing. Everyone can't get everything all the time.

As for the save. I would recommend getting the final start position accurately in the save as soon as possible.

Discussion will heat up very quickly and it could all be for naught when people don't know the exact situation, or at least as exact as we can know.

Zim 09:08 08-05-2009
I have a lot of console work to do, especially as someone who hasn't the foggiest idea how to teleport characters, although I think I can do the traits well enough.

Despite that I hope to finish within a day.

As far as enemy factions' positions and armies, that's the save. All I need to do now is move avatars around and do the trait work.
