Re: Who killed Mr. Forum? (0)
It will certainly be easier for more to play. And at least it will keep /this/ thread alive. ;-)
The (new) game:
[Copied and revised from zex20913's opening post]
Mr. Forum has been killed in one of nine boards! Who has killed him, and how?
The suspects are:
The six players:
stigant
Daniel Fishman
B.J. Earles
PMIT
coppro
brian_s
A Keeper of the Envelope (Penwielder) also wields the clue envelope.
How was Mr. Forum killed?
Was it with a snarky comment to a newcomer?
A mod point complaint?
A heavy trolling?
A mean private message?
A spam overload?
Or was it a bad hold that made it through the HA process?
Where was Mr. Forum killed?
General?
Contests?
Holds?
DROD architecture?
RPG architecture?
DROD feature requests?
RPG feature requests?
Forum games?
Anything?
The game is afoot!
The first seven people to respond that they want to play will have a role. Six will be players, and one will be the info-holder.
Each player will receive 3 pieces of information--they may be a player, a method of killing, or a board. If a player has information, then that information has nothing to do with the death of Mr. Forum.
Rules:
There will be an order to play, and it shall be cyclic. Instead of rolling a die, play will consist of guessing and refuting.
Guessing: On your turn, you guess a player, a method of killing, and a board where it occurred. You do not need to have made a prior post in any thread in order to make your guess valid.
Refuting: After a guess, the moderator or Keeper of the Envelope will post in this thread the name of the first player after the guesser who possesses information that can refute a guess. That player must PM the guesser that piece of information within 24 hours of their name being posted. If a player has the option of refuting with more than one piece, the refuting player may choose which piece of information with which to refute. Once they refute, they must post that they have done so in this thread. Alternatively, the guesser may also post that they have received the information.
A 24-hour clock will start once the refuter's name has been posted. If the clock expires, then either the moderator or the Keeper of the Envelope will step in to act as the refuter. If the option is available, we will show NEW information to the guessing player.
If refuting goes all the way to the guesser, they take the refuting role as well.
Once information has been refuted, then it is the next player's turn. The next player must guess within 24 hours of the notification that a guess has been refuted, or lose their turn. Play continues until one person has made a guess that can not be refuted--this will be the way that Mr. Forum was killed.

If you have any questions, please do ask them.

No worries. And though I'm a bit reluctant to open up the worm can again, I do want to say that I think you're being a bit hard on zex. I've run things like this and it can be hard to balance rules/fairness/fun. You're so caught up in doing the fair thing, you can overlook the right thing. Or is it the other way round? *shrug* And we all sometimes phrase things poorly or have our words taken in ways we never meant them to be taken. Just my 2 cents.
