Basic Rules for "Wars"

[Zarovich]

Check out VI. iEUX was acting all crazy and Loaf was spot on as Seer.

[Pavel Bure]

Seeing the PM quoting disaster that took place in the current game the easiest way to fix this is create a generic town PM.

Example:

You are *town* your goal is to eliminate all *non-town/mafia*

Given doctor it up a bit with your game theme.

Every townie gets that PM. That PM is also posted at the start of the game in the rules post so that EVERYONE knows what the generic town PM is.

Any role players in the game receive the generic town PM as well as what their role is. In this fashion no one can use hinting at or quoting the town's PM as a way to clear themselves or someone else, thereby keeping the game within the set rules.

I agree with that, but also the mods should discuss the format of the PMs before splitting them in half and sending them... Who does such a thing?

Slug Wars IV is on hold indefinitely. You can move me to the bottom.

[Kicksave]

BULL ****.

I guess I could just do a quick game for you.

Here's a tip to quickly, and easily, find all posts for a player in a specific game thread.

• Go to the Advanced Search
• Create the keywords based off the game thread's title, and eliminate the signup and dead thread
• Enter the user's name for author
• Select NHR Games for your forum
• Customize the display/order settings to your liking
• Click Search

There are a couple of ways to phrase your search keywords, so here are a couple of examples to find all of Zarovich's posts in The Godfather Wars:

Keywords: +"The Godfather Wars" +Game
(or) Keywords: +"The Godfather Wars" -Dead -Signup -"Sign-Up"

Author: Zarovich

Sometimes an easier thing for a less-active player is simply to go to the user page and search all posts by user, since the warz tend to be near the top. Or useful if you want to see the user's last post overall. But an active poster... yeah, very helpful. I tend to sort the game thread by poster, and then skip to where whomever I am looking for is in the alphabet.

Why not just sort by author in the game thread?

I like to be able to get the context of a postpretty easily. Instead of sorting and resorting, you can click on a search result and view it normally.

[canaan]

i think reading the posts out of context lend to a pretty decent inspection into a person's style of play--but thats just me/

Not sure if we should start another thread for this or not, but here is a handy moderation guide.

On that site, found an interesting alternative to random.org: http://adv-random-gen.sourceforge.net/rand-gen/index.php?gen=mafia

It's a bit more involved, but generates a list like so: (used Doc's player list and generic roles)

alpha: columbia
angel: thg
seer: mac1515
vig: ps87
villager: bhaw
villager: ulf
villager: slappybrown
villager: MWB
villager: Bob Cole
villager: Zarovich
villager: shafnutz05
villager: LITT
wolf: doublem
wolf: Rylan

I'm debating about making my glorious return to the War Games, but I don't know about my ability to commit timewise working a 40hr retail work week.

I'd say you have 128 hours outside of that to commit

[the wicked child]

I'm sure you can find time whenever Jellyfish Invasion rolls around. It will... sometime.

Doc: Please wait until after the game, to get banned.

I will, I'm excited for this one too.
