The Valley Forge - WW LXXXVII - Admin Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Folwren · 08-11-2011, 03:28 PM

Deadline is 4 EST, btw.

Also, I have edited the first post. Go read it if you have questions on the rules, and then if your question still isn't answered, ask me.

This may have already been asked, but I only had time to read the rules post, so....

How exactly does the Forge go about killing the KD during the night? As a Forge member, couldn't the KD send in a different kill to the moderator first? Or is one member of the Forge the official kill selector each night? Or do all members send kill votes separately and the Moderator tallies them to determine the winner?

I think this could be solved by making the person sending the kill forward it to the other Forgers, or send them a copy - otherwise the kill won't be made.

Sending in the wrong kill would be an obvious tipoff to the Forge members of who the KD was, though.

If there are 2 members and the KD left, though, the KD can accidentally kill one of the members. He would be known to the other member anyways, as he's the only one left. This is certainly a good situation for the KD.

Folwren · 08-11-2011, 05:13 PM

It's funny, this has been brought up before, but I didn't really give it much thought, because I thought it'd be cheating for the KD to send in a name that the others didn't agree upon.

Whoever sends the Mod a name can send the same message to all the other Forges. Does that take care of it?

I'd require it. The name has to be copied to all Forges. That way a player can't send in another name and "forget" to tell the others.

Ha ha! What some people call "cheating" others call "clever underhanded play".

But yes, if you don't wish for that sort of thing, demanding the message be sent to all parties ought to solve things, though as I saw someone point out, if it was down to 2 Forge members and the KD the KD would be more than willing to PM a kill of one of the Forge members to all parties, as once he did so that person would be dead and the Forge would be powerless to stop him.

Unless you have a rule that a kill PM can be nullified if it is overruled by at least 2 Forge members.

Folwren · 08-13-2011, 09:51 AM

Roles are sent. If you didn't get one, let me know, because you should've. If I messed up on something, let me know and we'll have to re-do this.

I will send out those additonal instructions for the Sweetheart and KD and Night Watchdwarf later...once I finish canning peaches.

This afternoon at 5:00 P.M. EST, Night One Phase will begin. I will start the thread and post the first post at that time (hopefully, anyway...)

satansaloser2005 · 08-13-2011, 12:22 PM

I guess my mind was made up for me. :/

Folwren · 08-13-2011, 03:01 PM

No kill the first night, Forges.

Good luck, everybody. I hope the game is fair.

-- Folwren

satansaloser2005 · 08-15-2011, 04:26 PM

Or, you know, my phone could die. :/

Nerwen · 08-15-2011, 08:22 PM

Sorry for non-vote– yes, I know I always do this, but honestly my internet went down.

Haha, I feel smart. I picked up on a hint.

Okay, yeah, I've decided to not reveal when the KD is killed. Which means my narrations will change a little bit, withdrawing from his point of view hence forward.

wilwarin538 · 08-16-2011, 09:35 PM

Awww, and I was going to be able to participate a lot toDay.

Well, hope everyone has fun!

And I'm afraid Glirdy has to drop out, he has no internet access for the next little while so there's no way for him to come on. He's really sorry!

Bother. Really?

Also, bad Canadian desserts. Bad, I say.

Folwren · 08-18-2011, 03:18 PM

Sorry it's late. I was out on the opposite side of our property on horseback at 4:00 before I realized what time it was.

Also, I know that in the narration for Galadriel's death, I made her a 'she'. Then in Rikae's death, I made her a 'he'. It was hard to make Gal a she, as I feel in the story they'd all be he's. Anyway, that being said, don't take anything having to do with those pronouns to be hints as to whether or no they were the KD.

-- Foley

Folwren · 08-19-2011, 01:08 PM

I will not be here come deadline time. So, come 5:00 PM EST, please stop posting as usual. I'll be back to evaluate the damage and write the narration as soon as possible.

Well, that would certainly be another way to get rid of the loophole.

If Foley wants to be rid of it, that is. Leaving things as they are might lead to some interesting chaos.
