GottaLoveElves Member	posted December 17, 2012 11:33 AM quote: Originally posted by WCFmo: Hmmm, that could be awkward if you are trying to team up with somebody as you could never trust them (well for the most part). Well, then, it depends on which way we want to go with it, doesn't it? If votes are secret, it's a game of deception and deduction. Surely if, for example, Kyosukee & Bugger agree to use 10 shots to bomb me at A1-A10, and then I don't ever get bombed at those locations, then they know the knife has been twisted. Even better, Kyo could befriend MM & Bugger, and promise a set of co-ordinate bombings to both... and then get their secret other alliance to fill their end, appearing like they're playing on the same team when in actuality Kyo is dictating those two sets of orders and firing his shots wherever he wants. You get the full traitorous experience of Werewolf with all the WIFOM flavors MOTL seems to know & love. If votes are public, the backstabbing element still exists, but you're immediately aware... and then it mirrors a game like the board game Diplomacy, which is less about suspicion after an event and more about suspicion before. You both are often going to be alive long enough to have to either A) work out your vengeance or B) forget past backstabbings. This is definitely different than the above, and could also be fun (as anyone who's played Diplomacy could attest to). I'm pretty indifferent either way, as long as I stop being everybody's example. __________________ Forum signatures: all the wisdom of a cereal box with none of the sugar!

Bugger Member	posted December 17, 2012 11:47 AM shots don't "carry over" from round to round, correct? so if I were to use only five shots this round, I would still only have ten the next round, rather than fifteen, yes? __________________ It is a known fact that more Americans watch the television than any other appliance.

coasterdude84 Member	posted December 17, 2012 12:15 PM Correct, you don't get to stockpile shots. Assume it takes 1 turn to reload. And by the way, note that the Carrier is worth 2 shots, so you actually have 6 shots to start. Since it seems pretty indifferent, let's post them all here for now. If we do another game after this, we can consider making it more a game of deception. Public shots. Fire away when ready. [Edited 1 times, lastly by coasterdude84 on December 17, 2012]

WCFmo Member	posted December 17, 2012 12:24 PM @ AEther Storm - Rubber Duckie J2 H4 F6 D8 B10 J10 My fellow Battleship player. I'm pleased to announce that I've signed legislation outlawing the Soviet Union. We begin bombing in five minutes. __________________ <Liq> you just can't expect a sig worthy line to appear out of nowhere on demand <stacker> i dont hang out with the patients afterwards, we got nurses for that "Basically, if you ever find yourself daisy-chaining multiple dongles together, you must be doing pretty well in life."
Kyosukee Member	posted December 17, 2012 12:25 PM (OOC) we probably should have a no edit rule, but I assume once you (coaster) see it and log it it's as good as un-editable.
coasterdude84 Member	posted December 17, 2012 12:31 PM Yeah, ideally a no edit rule should be enforced. If you do need to edit a post, we'll put everyone on the honor system they didn't change their shots. Also, I have a spreadsheet where I'm recording everything, so as soon as I see it, it goes down there. In theory, I'd catch it if you took more than an hour or 2 to change your mind.

MeddlingMage Member	posted December 17, 2012 08:32 PM I would say that the shots should be posted on thread. What if 3 people shoot at someone and they all choose A1? ~MM __________________ Blah, blah, blah werewolf. Smackity-smack not a werewolf. Suspicious of this fruit loop.

AEther Storm Member	posted December 18, 2012 04:52 AM I suggest no edits. If you mistakenly hit a spot someone else already fired on, too bad. Gunners can miss! Unless you post (almost) simultaneously that is. @coaster: great idea, I'm loving this already. Although heavily under fire

If you mistakenly hit a spot someone else already fired on, too bad. Gunners can miss! Unless you post (almost) simultaneously that is. @coaster: great idea, I'm loving this already. Although heavily under fire Thanks! And I agree, if you fire on a spot already fired upon, too bad. Also, it hasn't happened yet, but if you fire on a spot that was previously a hit, I will post it as a miss. Sound like a fair penalty for not paying attention?
coasterdude84 Member	posted December 18, 2012 09:57 AM The first turn is now over! Looks like SnapShot doesn't want to make any enemies just yet. I'll compile the results in a bit and post them shortly.
