sheeringAbout to put out the IC announcement of deaths/vote offs, but since there's ongoing threads wit everyone I took the time to poke around and see what everyone thinks about these possible adjustments as suggested by players:
1. Break the custom DW rules on group threads and allow posting order to come as it goes. This requires everyone having the decency to wait long enough to not rail-road someone out of a thread completely, and also to have the decency to try to keep up regularly either with a filler pno reaction] comment or to keep up OOC communications about availability.
Having talked with most remaining players this seems to be favored, and we've got a successful thread with most of the cast going right now, but I want to make sure everyone's cool with this being officially allowed/preferred, since it is non-standard.
2. On open posts, first come, first serve, with join-ins, rather than finangle over how to handle potential overlaps. This encourages group dynamics and would alleviate confusion and timeline issues more essential to a mystery/psych game. Obviously, Network posts would be handled the same way as usual with no changes.
3. New time/murder schedule. Suggestions so far include:
A. One week = 1 IC day. One murder per IC day.
B. Characters make a post for the IC day and everyone has to check off OOCly when they're okay with moving on to the next day. Has the same requirements of activity/upkeep as the thread break. There will be an IC notif given of the pace change, and we'll treat the disappearance/etc. as having happened on Day 7 with days afterwards being 8, 9, etc.
C. Your idea here.
The characters themselves haven't officially casted their votes or had the chance to discuss it but due to OOC circumstances, and after checking if it could be done ICly by enough to get a majority, it will be Haneoka Eimi. Thanks to Jisu for joining the beta, and feel free to hop in with another! So, that said, is everyone READY for the IC notification of death/disappearance, or do players need to stall off a bit to determine if they're characters are going to be staying with someone who may potentially die/disappear, etc.?
Feedback appreciated. If nobody says they'll be inconvenienced by jumping into the post death/disappearance day, I'll put up the post tonight.
