[WildZoo]

Is the second 36/12 soft cap actually a hard cap?

 

[WildZoo]

I might tot/sub. I'm actually kind of tired and might enjoy a bit of a break before Madagascar

 

[Lawpy]

[Animal Midwife]

I may have to pass because the amount of conversion paranoia fallout will be too high for me.

 

[Chaostrodon]

When does this start

 

[Melchizedek]

When does this start

9 a.m. wednesday

 

[SportPonies]

I would consider playing but only a 12/12.

 

[supershorty]

As much as the title is making me want to play, I've got a lot going on this week so I'll tot please 🙂

 

[differentiating]

I'd be interested in spectating as well! Post-call Wednesday, plus that'll help re-orient me to SDN WW a bit before the game I'm already signed up for.

Though I'm a bit confused about why the cycles get shorter as the roster gets longer. 36-12 with 10 people seems dreadfully boring. Is it because people talk too much at the beginning?

Probably because the game can only last too long. People need to die faster if there are more of them

Oh this makes sense

Or Mel could just become a ruthless mod and kill them all

I'm hoping before the game runs of we're under the 12/12 cap we could vote, because especially with fewer people might like a 12/12 game over a 36/12. But I'm a WWh0re for WW so I'll probably play anything.

Feel like maybe I should spare everyone preggo-rage!cray but probably won't.

I was thinking I’d have to convert my game to 12/12 if there’s really 30 people. lol he game would last like a month no?

I'm only playing 12/12s. I developed an allergy to 36/12 after 2 weeks of WW exhaustion

I have an answer but it’s long and I don’t feel like typing on my phone but TL;DR is what pip said depends on how much of a bloodbath the mod wants

I can elaborate more later if you want to talk game design philosophy

I cant even figure out how to quote and edit on this newfangled SDN. All I can do it copy paste the original message which is how Tot!Barks @Barkley13 got left off the update list in my reply.

Spoiler: An excerpt from "Mel's Modest Modding Methodology"

Specifically re: Roster length and anticipated number of cycles

The longest possible game for any length is the number of cycles it takes to reach a 1:1 parity. This gamestate would result from all but one wolf voted off and all the villager misvoted. A roster of 30 means 28 deaths, at 1 death per day cycle and 1 death per night, two per total cycle, thats 14 days max).

If you're working backwards (like in this situation) I have 10 days (5/26 to 5/4) as my maximum. If we do the reverse thats 2x number of cycles (determined by length of cycles

Now your variables are extra death abilities. If I wanted the game to end faster I could give the wolves extra kills on nights, throw in vig kills for day or night cycles. Every two extra deaths knocks a cycle off your total

personal preferences:
I'm not a fan of just having a big roster and killing them off, so I try to avoid extra kills just for the sake. If I need them I'd rather build them into the game and make them have a purpose so I'll do something like in PeC where the wolf extra kill was contingent on them finding the specific villagers it would work on

 

[Melchizedek]

Tot pls

would you want to sub or to tot more? I don't want to cross contaminate tot's opinions into the game if you end up subbing in.

I will tot too. I think... what does it mean? Lol. I assume it is something like a voyeur. (jk) I can't look tot up on work computer bc ww site with definitions is blocked. Anyway, I can't play but would like to read along when possible (as I am also going on vaca and will be on the road much of the time)

Totting is spectating. The tot chat PM is always a lot of fun 🙂

IIRC, the origin of it being called totting comes from spectator —> tater —> tater tot —> tot.
