EFHW, thoughts and feelings on a soft deadline?

I think we definitely want one.  Monday is less than a week from the start of the game.  D1 can be hard, so if we're totally lost on Monday we should rethink the deadline rather than rushing a lynch.  I do like the sound of 16 banked days.  I would recommend trying hard to make the Monday deadline.  If people are around on the weekend, that would help a lot.  Sometimes weekends are really slow.

Kewl with soft deadline.

Romeo and Juliet: lovers?

could be. Goes for lots of other pairs of people in shakespeare too.

Interesting.  Antony and Cleopatra; Troilus and Cressida; 2 gentlemen of Verona  (I actually haven't read that one, don't know their relationship!  Probably not romantic.)
There's famous couples:  Hamlet and Ophelia, Othello and Desdemona, MacBeth and Lady MacBeth (not too romantic, there).  I haven't read all the plays, so there are probably more.

For what it's worth, I don't think the mafia is going to be a couple.  Especially because they were referred to as "Mafia" in the prologue, and not some other flavored name.  If we ever flavor claim, I would expect the names for the mafia to be ones like Othello.

[EFHW]

Well the mafia definitely won't be lovers -- That means if one dies both die.  Too easy!

[raerae]

We are getting dangerously close to claiming things here, folks.  Let's refrain, shall we?

EFHW, good point. 

All ya'all's, what if we bumped SD back to Wednesday, June 5th?  Still lots of banked days and gives a little over a week from start. 

[EFHW]

Sure,  Same time?

[ashersky]

If music be the food of love, play on,
Give me excess of it; that surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.


Vote Count Act I.III:

liopoil (1): sudgy
nkirbit (1): xeiron
sudgy (1): liopoil
xeiron (1): EFHW

Not Voting (5): Eevee, Twistedarcher, mail-mi, nkirbit, raerae

With 9 alive, it takes 5 to lynch.

Act I ends on June 11 at 8:30 p.m.

[raerae]

Sure,  Same time?

Sounds good to me. I have a farewell party that night but don't have time on it yet so I'll make sure to get my vote down before I go to that if I'll be there during deadline.

[EFHW]

So far, xeiron is the only one acting scummy, for voting nkirbit without explanation.  So vote: X. 

It's RVS I think, trying to get some discussion going, which it successfully did.

RVS is usually accompanied by some kind of joke or teasing.

[mail-mi]

Ugh still can't vote for Robz. Dang it.

Also kewl with moving the soft deadline back.

Twelfth Night!  Has anyone else ever noticed how odd a word "twelfth" is?

[EFHW]

I'll lock thy heaven from thee.
O, that men's ears should be
To counsel deaf, but not to flattery!

I had to look this one up - Timon of Athens.  My guess is this quote is about buddying.

But is Othello a villain, or is he a victim?

Fine with soft deadline moving.

Man, RVS sucks. Want to get this game going but don't know how! Agree that claiming is a bad idea, but getting D1 moving is tough..

Xeiron, why'd you vote nkirbit?

[EFHW]

But is Othello a villain, or is he a victim?

The play should really be called Iago - he's the real villain (hence my vote).

[nkirbit]

I must admit I've never read Othello, so I'll trust your opinions on who the real villain is there.

I don't like RVS for the most part, but I do think the interaction between Xeiron and EFHW is worth discussing.  Xeiron votes me, somewhat randomly.  There's no good reason, no joke, nothing, but it's RVS, it's fine.  It doesn't have to.

EFHW immediately responds to it, though, despite it clearly being RVS.  It was just some meaningless vote, and I got absolutely no read from it one way or the other.  EFHW immediately jumps to my defense and she then accuses Xeiron of being scummy.  It felt a little over the top for what was a random vote.

[sudgy]

Vote: EFHW for that.  Better than nothing.

I think I would support that soft deadline a lot more than the old one.

[Eevee]

Sorry peoples, been awfully busy and neglecting the forums.

I don't particularly care about the soft deadline, I know I'd be able to blitz it out day one or day 5 if need be. Well, I guess I share raerae's opinion of dragged out days that no one can ever reread, so I'd rather have us build interesting interactions faster.

Kudos to nkirbit for pushing us to the right direction. I don't think I agree about EHFW though, what are you implying? "A little weird" doesn't automatically mean mafia-y.

[xeiron]

Xeiron, why'd you vote nkirbit?

To create some interaction and get the game going.
I chose nkirbit at random.

I think monday is to early for a soft deadline. We need some time D1 to develop some half-decent reads.
What about deadline thursday?

[liopoil]

With 9 players, this game will probably go around 3 days. Day 1 should take a little bit less time than the others. So, if we spend 8 days today, we can spend 9 days D2 and D3 each. So actually, soft deadline of Wednesday at 8:30pm forum time is perfect, but we NEED to  stick to it, because each day wasted costs us double.

I am fine with wednesday 8:30pm.

[raerae]

mail-mi, I challenge you to do something more than agree with the SD.  What are your thoughts on xeiron and nkirbit?

[raerae]

Also, do we have any twin claims in game right now?

[ashersky]

Twistedarcher and Nkirbit are brothers.

[EFHW]

Liopoil and I know each other irl.

[EFHW]

Unvote.  A vote without explanation is fishy.  Now it has been explained.
