Baseless setup speculation is obviously the way to go here...

Chances are that the potatoes have various triggers such as time (potato explodes after X hours), passes (potato explodes after it has been passed X times), or other completely unrelated things...

I personally want to see "Potato explodes if anyone says the name of the person holding it".

In fact, lets vote on it. Flay or Stoofer?

I don't think it'll be number of passes that triggers it, it'd be impossible to avoid it. They probably don't, but I've gotta ask: do the players holding the potatoes know anything plus about the triggers?

Not sure about the second question, but i'm pretty sure that the number of passes can have an impact.

I don't know if voting is worth it--- suppose the "enforcer" (for lack of a better term) holding the potato triggers it while we're voting?

Since we have no idea when the explosions will occur, we can't very well assume how much time we have to come to a vote.

Also, even if we all think Player X is scum, how do we force him to keep the potato?

yeh, we are really reliant on the people with the potatoes, and theres no real incentive for them to work against their own views.

on the flipside, if the potato is on a timer, it makes an awesome way of tackling the lurker issue!

Also, there is no guarantee that

all

the potatoes in play will explode. The rules state that the day will end once all the bombs rigged to go off go off. It confirms that, while there is Day, there is

at least

one potato that will explode, but no more...

somestrangeflea · Post Post #91 (ISO) » Thu Jul 24, 2008 2:11 am

EDWOP: By "no more" I mean "nothing more is confirmed", not "only one potato will explode".

kuribo · Post Post #92 (ISO) » Thu Jul 24, 2008 2:14 am

Exactly, so we also have no idea which potatoes may have explosives in them. (Therefore we wouldn't know which to throw at someone)

Porochaz · Post Post #93 (ISO) » Thu Jul 24, 2008 2:20 am

Maybe if we all throw our potato's at BM he'll become over whelmed and they'll all explode?

I somehow don't think players can hold more than one potato. Might be worth a try, though.

TDC · Post Post #96 (ISO) » Thu Jul 24, 2008 2:35 am

Sunday is so not the 26th.

M4yhem · Post Post #97 (ISO) » Thu Jul 24, 2008 2:37 am

I guess if we all agree to pass the potato to our top suspect, the chance of them exploding would go up.

I also like the idea of giving potatos to lurkers.

Is it better to keep the potatos moving or not?

And you so didn't have to use "so" in that sentence. So.

It says you have to specify which potato to throw; that suggests you can hold more than one.
