Non-players' Thoughts

CrispyCrispy Jaded GD Join Date: 2004-08-22 Member: 30793Members, Constellation
<div class="IPBDescription">on TWG VI</div> I read through the FAQs and I hope I'm not breaking any rules here, I'm not going to comment on any player's actions or try to influence the game.

All I wanted to say is that this looks like a really cool game, and if I have the time I'll almost definitely apply for the next one.

I do have a few questions, though:

Am I right in assuming the human 'team' don't know who the seer/psychic are from the start, and must determine this by PMs and the like? If the latter was true, then it sounds quite fun not knowing wether you're PMing a wolf or human with what could be crucial information <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

How many hours are in a 'day-night' cycle?

---

I'm gonna be speccing this one and I might share my thoughts in the aftergame thread. I already have my suspicions <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Questions should be posted in the FAQ thread, which is stickied in RPG Haven.

    The humans don't know who any of the people are with special roles to begin with. That's a huge part of the game.

    A night is generally 24 hours, while a day is typically 48 or 72 hours, give or take a few hours depending on special curcumstances.

    If you want to spectate, join #ns-twg on gamesurge.net. You won't be able to talk in the channel, but you can watch what the rest of us say.

    I haven't got access to IRC I'm afraid. I'll have to watch the thread. Feel free to merge the threadstarter into the FAQ thread.

    I really need to emphasize something here.

    <span style='font-size:21pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:red'>YOU MUST HAVE ACCESS TO IRC TO PLAY IN A TWG GAME!</span></span>

    Enough stuff is said in IRC that it's a pain when players don't use it.

    The only major though I have going on right now is wondering what Legionnaired is doing

    I really must emphasise something here, but I'm not going to be so brash as to use big red lettering (this would be particularly true if I were jumping to conclusions without having enough information on which to base them).

    "I don't have access to IRC". Perhaps I should have specified another element in that sentence, say: 'at the moment'. Also I think your statement is emphasised enough in the FAQ, which if you check two posts back you'll find I said that I had read. Postcount +1, I guess <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Secondly I said I wanted to apply for the next TWG. Now, up until now I didn't know how often these come around, but I can see that one is started roughly once every month, so I'll change my statement to: <u>when</u> I am back in the UK (and, naturally have access to IRC) I will probably be applying to a TWG (this is subject to the scenario for that game).

    <!--QuoteBegin-Petco+--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> (Petco)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Just download it from <u>here</u>.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->I didn't say I don't have IRC, or I'm the sort of nub who doesn't know how to google three letters, I said I don't have <i>access</i> to it. FYI I'm using a public computer atm because I'm out of the country, and just to make things clearer: <b>IRC is not an option.</b> (almost used the big, red letters there). :roll:

    I'm not going to comment on Legionnaired until the postgame thread. Or until he's dead, whichever comes first.

    Please do not make any comments n the current game please. This is not fair to the players in th game, particuarly if you suss them out, or you cause them to die. By all means PM sky (the GM) with your ideas and opinions, although he won't give you a response until the game ends.

    Crispy - I would advise that you read back through the last 2 TWG's as well as spec'ing this one because there is a lot you can learn <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    It is not welcome to publically discuss the game, no. You are welcome to do so in private (albeit only with other outsiders or dead players) but please try not to spoil it for those that are still in the game. If they are missing some vital detail, it is not fair if you alert them to it.

    I'd like to say that although mIRC can be helpful, it's not the be-all and end-all. The public chatting in #ns-twg doesn't usually help so much except to bounce around ideas; it usually leaks to the gaming thread anyway. Private conversations are easier to hold, but if you didn't have access to a chat client, it's possible to get correspondence going via the board's private message function. If the person you're talking to is in a different time-zone (UK - USA, for example), you'll probably only be able to chat via PM anyway.

    It's cool that TWG continues to get people's interest. Hope to see you in the next sign up thread, Crispy. (:

    Please, no more posting here. The question has been answered, and I'm leery of any possible outside discussion that might tip the game one way or another.
