the

Mod:

why is this a Large Game if it's got 13 players? Is it because it really has 26 (or more) players?

Yes, after discussing it with the list mods it was felt using the large queue was the best way to go about it.

[TheButtonmen]

The Second of Many Vote Count:

DaSpotthatkillsu (4) - FES, Unicorn, Balam, Greymarble
Unicorn (2) - Reckamonic, Final

[TheButtonmen]

By the way, just a quick rules clarification:

3. Don't quote anything that hasn't been posted in this thread.

I'm assuming this means that we're not allowed to directly quote in thread private discussions we have between our hydra heads, is that correct?

This is a good question, yes with the way it's written it does include private communications with your fellow heads. I had that in my ruleset as it covered quoting the don't quote PMs, other games and what not; however given the nature of this game once I'm home and can sit down and think it through I may be invoking rule eleven and changing rule three to something such as;

Don't quote anything that hasn't been posted in this thread or in private communications with a member of your hydra.

[TheButtonmen]

Untrod Stranger has been prodded.

Rule Three is now;

3. If it's not in the game thread or your private communications with your fellow head(s), don't quote it.

[TheButtonmen]

A Vote Count:

Final Destination (4) - Greymarble, YosCayke, Unicorn, Frog Ergo Sum
Pathetric (2) - Beaver, Final Destination
DaSpotthatkillsu (1) - Balam,
Unicorn (1) - Reckamonic
Mrs Flay (1) - Mrs Flay

Hold for an announcement in regards to Rule Three.

Thank you to everyone who brought the oversight in the new rule three to my attention as allowing entire logs to be quoted lock stock and barrel forces scum to either fabricate weeks worth of logs or be outed come late game. However straight up banning quoting from private communications is also a hassle and would require me to track all intrahydra communication and decide if they reworded it enough to avoid it breaking the rule.

A middle ground is needed and as such Rule 3 is now tentatively going back to;

If it's not in the game thread don't quote it.

What this means for copying stuff from your fellow head(s):

Don't quote large sections of chat logs, QT's or what have you and don't include timestamps.

Feel free to PM me any issues, suggestions or questions you may have with this.

No sorry it has now been corrected, I did this vote count by hand on my laptop rather then using the spreadsheet on my home computer and it turns out I'm really bad at counting.

Question for all of my players:

Do you prefer vote counts edited into the first post of each page or that they are in separate posts which will probably not be at the top of every page?

Mod Edit: I'm generally not in the handing out setup information whenever I'm asked and as such I neither confirm nor deny the restrictions on when scum can talk.

Thoughts on the hydra aspect of the game?

As you probably gathered, we had some issues with activity. Most of our Copper games are done when we anticipate large swaths of free time, but this was done as a favor to TBM. Our play suffered accordingly. Thankfully, the scumteam still won.

Thanks for that!
