It's up to Krypsyn, his game, his rules :)

I read through the two games on mafiascum.net, the spamming of shots was pretty distracting, and I hope we won't go that route here.

Regarding the subject of taking back shots. If it's allowed, wouldn't that equal to treating shots like votes? I have to agree with drealmer7 here, if you shoot someone, you've shot them, you can't un-shoot them.
I think of the game as having a single gun that's been handed around, and we pull the trigger based on the order we asked to take a shot. Once the trigger's been pulled, there's no un-pulling it.


Fine by me, just don't forget to PM me the link to the moderator chat.

Shoot HSL.. Enjoy modding!

Please Hyper don't hurt 'em! (just wanted to get that out of the way)

Well, with krypsyn modding instead of playing there's less risk of someone shot-spamming ;)

As for the shots themselves, rare is the gun that, when the trigger is pulled, the shot goes off 20 hours later. Getting in the queue, mechanically, is more like making a vote than actually pulling a trigger, no?

I think that's the question Krypsyn is exploring, but as I understand both the original model and where Kryp is atm, both involving a queue and then resolving all the actions at once, either at deadline, or when the queue fills to cap.

When it was first proposed in my mind I liked the idea of each shot being resolved as it's put on the table (more like actual roulette), but that would require pretty active modding. Still, it could create some great tension!

As I understand it this would be the ideal situation, the queue would only form if there isn't a mod around to resolve the shot when it's made.

On the larger game in particular, I couldn't really tell if that was the method chosen, it looked more like the players just kept posting, and the mod was playing catch up (IIRC, there was even a point where the mod had to repeatedly tell people that they should abstain as they didn't have a shot).


That's actually how I pictured the game. Would be great fun if Krypsyn went for this.

That was my understanding as well. The mods have the actual gun, and we just tell them who to point it at before puling the trigger. First come, first served, and until the mod actually pulls the trigger, I figure we can retract our request (though I don't have strong feelings one way or another).

If the mod arrives and multiple people have submitted a shoot request while the mods are away, then the mod goes through them one at a time until someone has been shot or until all requests have been served.

I am torn on the issue. If most people want shots to be permanent, then we can play it that way. By my count, three people have already said they are against shot retraction.

Exactly. For instance, if I go to see Star Wars in the next couple days (which isgoing to happen) and adaliabooks is also away (asleep, or whatever), and everyone decides to vote during that time, then the shots will just queue up until one of us gets back.

-----------------------------------------------

Oops, forgot this one. Meant to reply to it this morning, but I was crunched for time.

I'll probably throw up a place holder stating something along the lines of "Shot resolution incoming!", then edit that post with the results. Since the game is Night-less, there is no real reason to stop discussion at any point.

Yeah, between us we'll mostly have it covered but you never know.

Fair point. I think I basically came to that conclusion as soon as I posted that, but I let it go anyway...

I am also against retractable shots. Unshooting someone sounds silly. When you aim a revolver at someone and pull the trigger, you better mean it!

Add another vote against retracting shots, though I will abide by whatever rules are in play. I will also be unavailable tomorrow during the day, but I assume that the game will start sometime during my afternoon/evening (Steam daily change time perhaps?), so it should be ok. Don't worry if you don't see me at once, I will come online as soon as I can.

If the expectation is that shots will be resolved when the mod sees them, I'm fine with no retraction, even if the mod may/mayn't see it right away.

I mentioned it in the context of a setup where we'd just queue up and shoot later.

And with a little luck, you might not have to worry about it either.
