I'm Gary Buttman (PensFanInDC), commissioner of NHL GM Wars and with me is league vice president Colon Campbell (slappybrown)
It's another beautiful, sunny day here at the GM meeting in Boca Raton, Florida.
Let's take a look at who's here!
Don Waddell (Corvidae) is talking to Lou Lamoriello (TW) about a trade involving the entire Thrashers team and Martin Brodeur. Lamoriello is laughing.
Darcy Redier (malkamaniac), Brian Burke (tfrizz) and Pierre Gauthier (npv) are giggling to themselves trying to get Bryan Murray (beerman) to say "Sally sells seashells down by the seashore." Bryan Murray doesn't get it.
Bob Murray (Dagny) is handing out copies of the NHL rule book with EVERYTHING highlighted.
Doug Wilson (BadHands71) is giving lessons on the Heimlich Maneuver while submitting a post to LGP every 5.4 seconds.
Ray Shero (Canaan) is sitting calmly at his chair with a half smile on his face. He knows he has already won.
Don Maloney (c2i) is forwarding his mail to Winnipeg.
Paul Holmgren (MikeEnIke) and Glen Sather (THG) are arguing about who has the biggest *hartnell* in the NHL.
George McPhee (TWC) has arrived and is polishing a replica Stanley Cup which he seriously thinks is real.
Brian Lawton (sdm) has a puzzled look on his face and is saying, "Ryan Malone? I mean, really? WTF was I thinking!?"
Stan Bowman (Chefpatrick871) and Ken Holland (Troy Loney) are in a fist fight over who got more screwed by Hossa so far.
Chuck Fletcher (nan) is sleeping in front a TV while watching his team play with a 1-0 lead.
Dean Lombardi (jaysmiter) is throwing butter on the floor and Steve Tambellini (mac5155) is slipping on it.
Pierre Gauthier (npv) is still waiting for Carey Price to become MAF.
Garth Snoe (Shafnutz) and Larry Pleau (JoseCuervo) can't remember what the playoffs feel like.
Darryl Sutter (jwienand) and Joe Nieuwendyk (Kicksave) are slow dancing down the aisle for some reason.
Jim Rutherford (relantel), David Poile (redwill) and Mike Gillis (cupkeeper) are taking turns hitting each other in the head with their elbows to see how bad it actually is.
Now for the rules:
There are 6 roleplayers in each conference.
- 3 bad
- 3 good
There may or may not be other random RPs in the game. Packages are also a possibility. Neither of these are a guarantee so don't count on them being in or out of the game.
There are 2 kills each night and 2 votes per day. You can only vote within your conference (EC GMs can only vote for EC GM's etc.). Likewise the bad RPs can only kill within their conference.
When both conferences reach 8 GMs remaining, the playoffs start and we will move to a more classic 1 kill per night/1 vote per day format. If a conference reaches 8 GMs before the other, the remaining conference will continue voting and killing until the number reaches 8. As soon as both conferences reach 8 remaining GMs, regular play will resume.
When the playoffs begin new RP rules will take effect. (nothing serious so calm down!) Don't worry about the playoffs yet. You have to make it there first.
The goal for the village is to kill all the baddies. The goal for the baddies is to have numbers equal to or greater than that of the village.
You may talk at night if you want to. It's your choice.
The regular season vote is to be made as follows:
EC Hire THG / WC Fire THG
(put your conference at the beginning)
There are 29 GM's remaining
12 RPs
3 EC Baddies
3 WC Baddies
3 EC Good RPs
3 WC Good RPs
17 Regular GMs
