ROMS 17.995: Luck of the Draw(Yes, we are just gonna keep doing longer and longer decimals until XVIII gets a chance to run.  ) BASIC SETUP: The game will be a Vanilla and will start on Monday, May 20th. The number of players will be limited to 8. Exact timings still TBD; I'm still thinking about what would work best for me. I think it'll still be 48 hour Day / 12 hour Night.

I'd like a small game please. I don't care what the setup is, but if more than 6-8 people are in, I'm out, ha. That's the most I can handle.

I'll play, now that I'm done with wedding planning and napping on the beach.

To play or to watch? That is the question.
I'm happy just to watch this one but if you don't get the eight then I'm equally happy to play. :)

You'd be more than welcome to do either, Marinated. I might try to set up a DT partition on this forum for the watchers/dead, since my attempt to get a thread set up on the other forums was met with silence. |

The big problem I'm having with this is that I can't seem to set it up so that only the group "Dead" can see the board I'm trying to make. Maybe I can make it password-protected. I'll get back to y'all on that.
Edit 1: Okay, that sort of worked but the problem is I've had to set the group access at the Category level, which means you have to be a member of the group "Dead" to access anything in that category. Which means you'd only be able to read any dead thread when you were considered dead. Also I can access it by being Admin, and I assume any Admin would have similar powers. That doesn't matter right now, obviously, but it would matter later on.
Edit 2: Right, the board is password protected now. Again, this is something that can only work for a game that I'm moderating, because I can't expunge a password from my memory once I know it... I guess if I make a game moderator "Staff", they might be able to set password protections and I wouldn't know what it is. And I just verified - even the big all-powerful admin has to enter a password if they want to access a protected board.
Edit 3: Just checked; I can give a staff group the ability to "Modify Boards", which would allow them to set a password for their own dead thread. This seems to be the ideal setup for allowing moderator control over their own game. (Although I or one of the other Forum Admins would have to elevate the game moderator to special staff group status, so we still have that sort of control at that level. We can't gain unauthorised access to DTs, though.)

Gave myself the new "Game Moderator" status. I can edit the calendar and modify boards. This is now going to be the default "Staff" status given to moderators of games.
In the interests of full disclosure, there is a way for a staff member to see the passwords other staff members have assigned to boards. I have to choose to click on the password-protected board in the "Modify Boards" option in order to do that, though. So the only way I'd be able to cheat is if I was actively trying to cheat.
Edit: Once the game starts, anyone who isn't playing can PM me to get the board password and participate in non-participant fun.

I honestly believe that our mods aren't going to cheat. We've always had mods with the ability to see DTs that played at the same time, and I don't recall it causing a problem with reveals of game info, ever.
By the way, I'm away from the 23rd through the 27th, but I'll be able to post...it'll be short posts though.

I think I'll be dead for this one.
I like this interim games though, because it pretty much plops you right into endgame, a very exciting part of a game that in a normal game only a portion of the players get to experience.

So... the only thing I'm not sure of is if I'm supposed to be counting Marinated or not.
I think I'll revert to the standard 4:30pm/4:30am Pacific (or 12:30am/12:30pm GMT) deadlines mostly because I have next week off so I don't really want to have to get up at 7am to do ROMS deadlines. /lazy

Okay, cool, thanks Marinated. Aeth, I'm gonna go roll a - uh, 7 sided die? Damn, where am I going to get one of those? Well, anyway, I'll go randomly determine the rogue person, send them a PM with a Joker card in it, and then the game can start tonight/this afternoon. In less than 2 hours. So... technically it will still start on Monday 20th like I said it would. |

The rogue has been sent a PM with a picture of a Joker card in it. If you have that card, you are the rogue. If you do not have that card you are innocent. The game will start in 75 minutes.

We survived. No internet or TV at all. We switched companies to save a nice little bit of cash each month, but the new company couldn't hook us up right away. It's been a busy couple of weeks, and it's been park weather. Not too hot, not too cold, but a lot of fun.
