Notice Board for - Midsummer Maulings (Moderated by Mithalwen) - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Mithalwen · 07-04-2005, 12:40 PM

At the end of the Day (or earlier if a majority is reached before this) the player with the most votes is lynched (killed) and their secret role is revealed.

While I am disappointed by the turnout. This was posted in the first post on this board and it will stand. Off to fix the gallows.....................

It's also the day the US finally beat us Brits, so they're all off and partying. Voter turnout should be higher new Day.

If things don't improve .....hmmmm I feel Gil was unlucky since the uncast vote could theoretically have changed things but it seemed unfair to go completely random when most had tried. I will have to ponder the way ahead but I am very disappointed

Right Night has started.

Wolves and the Hunter/ guardian may communicate.

The wolves need to tell me who the want to kill

The guardian needs to tell me who they want to protect,

The mythomaniac needs to tell me the name of the player they want to match with.

It would be helpful but less essential for the hunter to tell me who they want to kill in the event of their death tonight.

Sleep peacefully children.

But Mith after a while it will become impossible to reach a 7 vote majority because there won't be enough people to make this work. What then?

the guy who be short · 07-04-2005, 03:03 PM

Mith has cleverly arranged for there to be an odd number of players (or maybe it was chance, who knows). With an odd number, you can always have a majority.
Tomorrow, the majority needs will be 6. Then 5, then 4, then 3, then 2.

Oh I see, thanks TGWBS that was most helpful.

Oh no, m'boy. You've got it all wrong. It's the day the US officially declared that we were going to beat you Brits. We celebrate it with brightly colored explosives and a lot of fried chicken.

But I agree with you that turnout will no doubt be higher tomorrow.

the guy who be short · 07-04-2005, 03:15 PM

So you celebrate your independance on the day it was declared rather than achieved? How very... American.
