Even if the set up in itself is the most promising I would declare this the freakiest idea this far - and a very welcome-one as such.

I mean in the last game there was something like four pages just pure one-liner banter in the beginning of Day1.

Banter is fun and it is an integral part to this game. A game without some banter would be much duller. But there should also be a game. So hopefully people can empty their banter-allowance on this Day0 and will actually start playing on Day1...


Okay. Let me try to get clear with this one.

So if I vote like:

++ the phantom (5)

and then retract it like this:

-- the phantom

then tp will have five votes and I can vote someone else (and I have used five of my bonus votes)?

So to retract all the votes from tp I need to do it - like in this case:

-- the phantom (5)

Which indeed opens up the next question: can I then vote for the phantom with 5 additional votes (adding up to six votes in total) and then retract three of those extras + my basic vote and then use whatever number of votes I can afford to someone else thus leaving tp with two of my votes?

eg. if I do this after my original five (six) votes of this scenario for tp

-- the phantom (3)

it means I have left tp with two votes and can vote again?

Oh, no, Noggie, DAY 1 must remain DAY 1 , otherwise it ain't DAY 1 at all.

zomg all this voting stuff is making my brain hurt... now i'd like to just try higlighting ot make sure i can do it...

++ The Phantom

seems to function all right... and the impression i had about the votes was that we could only add weight to our own vote and these extra weren't like extra votes right? so if we retract some weight off of our original we can't then use them to vote for another...

[the phantom]

Completely correct, Nogrod. You are indeed allowed to retract only a portion of your votes if you wish and so leave your original target with a number of bonus votes. Let's say you do this-

++Phantom (5)

And then do this-

--Phantom (3)

Phantom still has two votes. And then you can do this-

++Mira (1)

And give Mira two votes (your daily vote plus one of your bonus votes. That means for the day you gave Mira 2 votes and Phantom 2 votes, and the following day you will have 3 fewer bonus votes.

[Nogrod]

Thanks tp. Like I thought... this opens interesting possibilities.

[Nienna]

ok... still trying to understand. We are allowed to retract some of our weighted votes and then add them onto another but are we allowed to say

++ The Phantom (2)

++ Mira (3)

[the phantom]

No, because that would be an attempt to assign your free daily vote to both people. Only your bonus votes (the number inside the parenthesis) can be split. You can't cast your daily vote for both Phantom and Mira. You would have to retract the first one.

Some day, when I can be bothered, I will come up with a brilliant and evil plan to destroy DAY ONE entirely.

But sweetheart, without a proper Day One, how am I supposed to flirt shamelessly with you without others assuming we are, somehow, Lovers?

Further motivation to be bothered to unleash my brilliant and evil plan to destroy DAY ONE.

I didn't know you were going to be playing when I signed up for this.

Still holding a grudge, darling, from that very first game.

That was what...four years ago now?

While I wish to clarify, for the record, that it is not Days 1 that I hate, but the idea that there is any useful analysis to be gleaned therefrom, I must agree with my colleague Felagund that Day 1 is hardly a "Day 1" if it does not precede all other days in sequence. Just as there is no Year 0 between -1 B.C. and 1 A.D., so there is no Day 0, it seems to me.

I therefore petition Milord the phantom to rename this "Day 0," "Day -1."
