Let's avoid that unpleasantness this game.
Sorry for the long delay. Tallying voting and the like now.
Please send your orders to GeneralHankerchief ONLY. Do not send them to khaan.
Now with the wisdom of years
I try to reason things out
And the only people I fear
are those who never have doubts
Save us all from arrogant men,
and all the causes they're for
I won't be righteous again
I'm not that sure anymore
Shades of grey are all that I find
when I look to the enemy line
There ain't no rainbows shining on me
Shades of grey are the colors I see

10:12PM Monday 7 November 1951
The Executive Meeting Room (Small Ballroom)
Fatlington Convention Center
Fatlington, New Jersey
The newly appointed Director sturmhauke entered the Convention Center with a group of Fatlington police officers carrying rifles. Murmurs rose from the gathered Committee at the sight, but sturmhauke paid them no mind. He stopped to receive a bundle of papers from one of the members, then addressed the group.
“Thank you all for electing me as your Director. Let’s get right to business, shall we?” Sturmhauke paused to look over the papers. “I see you have made your decision. Riedquat, please rise.” Riedquat stood up slowly, eyes darting around the room. “You are accused of manipulating the legal system to prevent the lawful execution of Askthepizzaguy, twice. This Committee hereby sentences you to death. Do you have any last words?”
Riedquat’s eyes widened. “What? No, I had nothing to do with that! I mean, yes, I worked with some gangsters in the past, but…”
“Enough.” Sturmhauke cut him short. “Take this man to the front of the building.” The policemen grabbed Riedquat as he tried to bolt out the door. They cuffed him and hauled him out, Riedquat protesting the entire way. Sturmhauke and the rest of the Committee followed behind.
One of the officers shoved Riedquat’s back against the wall, just outside the front doors. By now, Riedquat seemed glumly resigned to his fate, slumping a bit. The officer joined the others, who had formed a line and were checking their weapons. Sturmhauke called out the orders.
“Ready!” There was a series of clicks as the safeties were disengaged.
“Aim!” The rifles rose up, all pointed at Riedquat. He trembled. “Wait! I…”
“Fire!” The night erupted in thunder and lightning. Riedquat’s final words rattled and faded from his lips. He fell over sideways, leaving a trail of blood and chipped stone on the wall behind him.
“Somebody take him to the morgue and contact his next of kin. This session is adjourned.”

Also, when did this turn into an advertisment channel for other games? Whatever role you have, or however bord you are, I do find it a bit rude towards the host(s).

Execution by rifle.
Is there a suggestion box for the Director?

I approve of the director going back to basics. Too many flashy methods of execution leads to over-exposure and diminishes their impact.

I promise you, if you make me director, you will be subject to the most twisted, sadistic, and undeniably hilarious deaths this mind of mine can come up with.I approve of the director going back to basics. Too many flashy methods of execution leads to over-exposure and diminishes their impact.

No. If you want more Roman style excesses, you'll have to put one of your cronies in the office.Execution by rifle.

Night has ended, no more orders will be accepted.
Please allow time for processing.
Please allow time for processing.
I'd like to share this from my inbox:
The title of the PM was "Totally Frustrated"
So they didn't care for the configuration I suggested, and I explained the reason for it was because we had already passed the dusk deadline. It was night time. Changing orders during the night is a recipe for disaster, it's happened several times this game alone. I said yes, if we had more time, I know we could have done things more efficiently, put all the newbies in one group and added an additional murder from our mades due to greater efficiency, or did a protection.
Well, they were dissatisfied so I suggested several new configurations which were much better, and they wanted to switch orders. I said "You're the boss. Go for it."
Here it is, 24 hours later, and...
Ask fubbleskag or sturmhauke how much fun this can be.
I heartily encourage folks taking command of their own groups. Remember the advice I posted way back on day one. I really wanted you guys to try doing it yourselves. Yeah its not at all optimal having someone else do it for you. You can get taken advantage of quite easily. And you might be able to do better. By all means. But if you're wondering how much "fun" you're missing out on, I've got several folks who can offer testimonials.
Just the initial step of deciding who is in the group and who the target is, if you have more than one person involved in the decision making process, it can take hours or even a full day. It takes one person a few minutes to decide; it takes several people a lot longer.
You can probably understand why Congress doesn't do jack. I'd drop a Star Wars here about how people should be made to agree, by someone, but that sounds an awful lot like a dictatorship doesn't it...
You have to admit, it's more efficient.
...........
Oh look, night is over. I wonder if everyone managed to get those orders in on time. I'm talking to them in real time now.
Guess what? Straight from the source, they ended up with, and I'm quoting, "squat" for their trouble. Which is less than what they started with.
Warned ya....
You can HAVE this job. Seriously, go for it guys. I want you to.

This comes from a situation where I was aiming to promote people in two different groups, led by one guy. Just two, not the 8-10 I work with a night. I've always, always offered people the chance to do things on their own, because autonomous choices really lessen my workload and I very much am waiting for that moment where nobody needs my help to get promoted. I know EXACTLY how difficult it is to promote, not only because you have to dodge luck this and murder that, guess who is getting attacked, yadda yadda, but the organization of just 5 people at once is nightmarish.just wanted to let you know that i have deeper respect for the organizing you've done up to now.

Keep in mind, this is with folks WANTING to change orders and a clearly superior different set-up that they agreed was necessary. Sure. anyone who thinks otherwise is nuts. I'm having problems with just 6 people.
