Nomicade [Forum Game] It's all over

[Balladeer]

I swerved Jenuall's attempt but Balladeer has pinched one of my glorious seven points.

Downvoting Karl_’s Aberration condition, but they definitely need a wincon. Probably to do with posting restrictions.

What about the points mark? If Aberrations are posing as Investigators and they have a collective points total to target then it'll add an intriguing dynamic as players' points totals are open knowledge, but their identities aren't.

Haven’t even read the post content.

What about the points mark? If Aberrations are posing as Investigators and they have a collective points total to target then it'll add an intriguing dynamic as players' points totals are open knowledge, but their identities aren't.

I was thinking along those lines. First, though, I’m going to retract my previous wincon suggestion in light of what Jenuall said (can decide totals after the 18th) and suggest the following:

Standard No Outside Contact rules apply: no PMing each other with game-integral matters, no coded messages, and no post editing!

If this gets voted up I’ll suggest wincons. Probably even if it gets voted down.

My idea is, if two Abs land posting restrictions on an Inv at once, that Inv gets ‘killed’ for their next x (10?) non-consecutive posts: they can’t use their investigative powers (I think that got passed?) and their points don’t count towards the win. The second Ab and the Inv are informed of this by - guess who? - OR.

If the Abs have y (30? 40?) points out of commission at once in this manner and say ‘WIN!’, they win. If not, ten-point loss!

+1 "No Outside Contact" (even though I edited this post )

Rule change:

• Dan's points total becomes the negative of its present value when this rule is passed. At the same time, everyone who is not Dan gains one bonus point.

For: Karl, Cheeky Devlin, Balladeer
Against: Dan
(+2)

[Balladeer]

Also, someone needs to suggest the punishment for breaking rules. I’m thinking enforced username alteration.

+1 for Karl's "screw Dan" rule. That takes it into majority and now it's in effect.

By my reckoning:

- I took a point from Karl
- Dan took 2 points from me, 1 from Curls, 1 from Devlin
- Dan and Balla traded point theft but it ended on Balla taking a net point from Dan

I'll apply that ^^^ and then the new Dan rule

[That]

I have applied my "rule accepted name change".

[OrangeRKN]

Dismiss my old rule for a new proposal, which is better than Dan's weirdly worded one:

Players will lose 1 point for every consecutive post they make. Consecutive posts cannot result in any points being gained for the player who makes them, or any points being lost by any other player.

I'm not sure why I'm arguing this given the now negative impact it has upon me But I also took a point from Karl in my initial sweep, and Balladeer only stole his point back rather than gaining one he didn't have before.

So by my count I'm on -6.

If I'm going to lose significantly I at least want to be statistically consistent

Happy birthday OR!

I’ll support the second sentence, but if we’re making this NOC (as we should be ) then dopos become a necessary evil.

Oi, I got my (first) edit in before you posted!

[Jenuall]

Pipped at the post!

-1. I agree with Balla. Should be second sentence only.

You stole from Balla once. He stole back from you. He then blocked your second attempt at stealing, then stole from you again.

Replace my proposal:

Consecutive posts cannot result in any points being gained for the player who makes them, or any points being lost by any other player.

Good job you changed the proposal otherwise you'd be getting docked a point for that consecutive posting!

For the new OR proposal (whee, passed); and for Karl_’s proposal, all day every day (by which I mean every day on which OR’s age changes).

Standard No Outside Contact rules apply: no PMing each other with game-integral matters, no coded messages, and no post editing!

Come on lads and lasses, one point more!

When did this happen?!

+1 for Karl_’s proposal

+1 for No Outside Contact rule
