I love pool, not very good at snooker though so I would not want to take any bets on the over-under :-P

What I meant to say was, KILL KILLL KILL KILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIGHT NAO!!!!

Well, it's a start... ;)

No no no, that's adaliabooks that says that ;-)

You mean that we may have an impostor?! Heavens! I bet adaliabooks is a ringer for Snooker, or something! The tournament will be ruined!

A new player question - How long does a day usually run without resolution before the mod steps in and forces a vote?

I was not sure what to make of Ixamyakxim's post #125, and the vote that concluded it; he ignored my request for clarification/reasoning,after all. What I read in his posts #308 and #311 supposedly answer my question, but I actually find his reasoning quite alarming.

- We need to pile on someone, so, just pick someone, anyone, and push for their lynch? Because no-one screams scum? This reminds me of adaliabooks in the last game - he used RNG to cast a vote when RVS was over, and threw everyone in, even though he was slightly concerned about some of the players. And guess what, RNG conveniently picked his scum-buddy CSPVG, whom he later unvoted due to popular demand, as he claimed, and never voted for again.
- D1 lynches are the result of random votes and scum jumping in? Apparently town is capable of nth more than RVS style votes on D1, and the only ones using their brains are scum. And since he's casting random votes, he surely must be town, right?

And I agree with dedoporno (post #314) on his tendency to cast votes with no reasoning until/unless being called out.

Is he town? If he is he's very careless/indifferent at best, and acting on the anti-town side at worse. But it seems a bit more scummy than this to me. So, until, and if, anything changes:


Vote Ixamyakxim

It depends on the moderator, but ti is generally around 2 weeks in recent memory.

Depends on the mod.

Some moderators will let you twist in the wind for literally weeks until everybody throws up in their shoes just to see who can make the best squishing sounds, just to have something to do. Some mods will sense steam is running out and drop a deadline pretty quickly and give you 48 hours or less.

The problem really isn't the mod - it's the players, who sit asking questions about when the deadline will be instead of doing something to make a deadline superfluous.

Varies per mod so hard to say. Day one is the longest day of the game usually, it can drag on for awhile if people start to lose interest. That's why it's very annoying, to me, when people don't vote or really try and participate until a deadline is given.

It varies.

We were at stage when it could take up to month but recewntly we mostly managed to cut it diwn and ie. in G29 it was 9 days.

"An update to the votecount, you say? I really must get some sort of subroutine to do this automatically. Or at least some scripts to run."

(Again, I think that's everyone - back to getting that script.) :)

MTGS way of playing always intrigued and amused me. They were able to have D1 longer than 1 months, maybe even 2, with close to (or even more than) 1000 posts. Then all the following Days often lasted only days and all together were shorter than D1 on its own with only dozens of posts.
