I just noticed Zali hasn't been on since the 12 so I'm thinking she's gone somewhere and forgotten she signed up. I also have a feeling you guys are going to want to lynch her for that. I think you should probably give her an extra Day and if she still hasn't signed on I'll have someone replace her in the game.

Thank you.

Boots I'm afraid I have to interject here...

...to say that I strongly object to the idea of somebody being brought in as a replacement player now that the game has started. If Zali is lynched for non-participation so be it, but there should not be anybody new brought in at this stage in the game.

Did my bringing Gil back from the dead to replace Sophia create a precedent? Sometimes an omnipotent moddess goddess has to do what an omnipotent moddess goddess has to do.....

I agree with Kuru on this. We shouldn't bring someone in to replace her this far in the game.

*cough* Some of us may have thought that was a bit "questionable."

I’m of the opinion that the mod is there solely to facilitate the amusement of the players and should thus keep as far out of the way as possible once the playing has started. I don’t think they should be making game altering decisions without it being clearly stated in the rules beforehand. In this case there was no mention made of replacement players.

Anyway, I’m going to quit being a hypocrite and stop posting on this thread.

It was not an easy decision andin the end it did not make any difference. However my attitude was that the players were there to facilitate my amusement - which they agreed to when they signed up- which made my conscience clearer. So all difficult decisions were decided on the basis of "what is most interesting for me?". So much easier to please one person than 12....

Alright then she won't be replaced. If she doesn't post at all in the next Day then she will be lynched along with whoever the village decides on, just like I said in the rules.

Is that better?

Don't answer that. You guys shouldn't be posting on this thread anyway.

I am slightly playing devil's advocate here but having had to face such crises in my own game it may be the lesser of two evils. Use your imagination......
