Open 479: White Flag (Game Over)

[Thor665]

One vote count per page is a good guideline. If the game is moving too quickly, then it's fine to not hit every single page, but try to get one on as many pages as you can. Once every 24 hours is generally mandatory, though, unless there's been no new pages + vote changes.

I massively agree with this.

The dealdine thing I'm more 'meh' about - if town is dumb enough to push things to within minutes (or even an hour) of deadline, maybe they deserve to be punished for not managing to put a lynch together in a functional time frame.

I'll admit I loathe deadline lynches though, so desire anything that makes them harder to do.

1 vote count per page is completely unnecessary. 1 every 2 or 3 is good rule of thumb, unless there has been a lot of vote changes in a short time, than absolutely get one up ASAP

as for deadlines, town is actually worse than scum at dragging their feet. Having seen a game with no deadline go on for over a month without lynching, I say deadlines are a must. There is no reason why you can't find 1 scummy person and get them lynched in 2 to 3 weeks.

In the games I modded I had either 2 or 3 week deadlines up front. I use the countdown button too which is awesome because then you dont have to worry about it, it keeps track of the time for you. In a non newbie game I did threaten to shorten the deadline due to lack of activity.

Also I have gotten backup mods when things got hairy. In one case when my dad died and NS and I went up to Hayward to sort out his apartment, in another case recently. The one I got when my dad died, kinda flaked out on me, but both for my first newbie game (Nacho) and the current backup (NS) have been solid. So I would say nothing wrong with having a backup mod, just pick wisely.
