Throwing this out there in regards to the theory of making people vote mandatory, but also being able to isolate if someone lies better than just "someone lied". No idea if it actually can be used as utility or not... someone with a less tired brain should read it over.
Here is the idea:
1) We group players randomly based on the amount of votes YES needed to get a duel to go. Since ties are YES, and we have 12, today that would be groups of 6.
2) We then take something arbitrary, such as the sign up list, to assign an order for the grouping process.
3) With the sign up list being used, it would be something like this:
1 - votes YES to 2-7
2 - votes YES to 3-8
3 - votes YES to 4-9
4 - votes YES to 5-10
5 - votes YES to 6-11
6 - votes YES to 7-12
7 - votes YES to 8-1
8 - votes YES to 9-2
9 - votes YES to 10-3
10 - votes YES to 11-4
11 - votes YES to 12-5
12 - votes YES to 1-6
4) Then I guess it would have to be something like - "Only vote yes if you are supposed to, if your dueled player is the lowest numeral"
- So if you are supposed to vote yes for Player 6, but vote no for Player 4... you would vote no. This just ensures the grouping is kept to a minimum.
As I mentioned, it doesn't really have a lot of utility purpose. It pretty much makes all reads obsolete because we would have to agree to it prior to getting to the duel. All it really does is make sure the duel happens, or if it doesn't, it gives us a smaller pool of players to look at. This is to say:
- Player 1 and Player 7 are put at bat.
- Players 7-12 should vote YES, since 1 is the lowest numeral and on their list.
- All other players, including the players who are YES votes for Player 7, would vote NO.
At the end we either gain the duel (which could be good) or we gain the info that someone did not follow the rules... but only on the NO voting side... which is important. In the scenario above where we come to and there is no duel, we would learn that at least one player within Players 7-12 are skum (1/6).
No super like... pushing this plan rn... just more throwing it out there.
