M62: PEOPLE'S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF REVOLUTIONARY MAFIA GAME THREAD!

[President Eden]

##Call GM

If every living players votes for it to be added, can we have hammering back?

If you let us vote to reinstate hammers, I will go back and +1 every single post by both GM's

##GM (slightly more serious) answer
The Pres and I are talking about the option. We(he) have some scheduling issues we are working around. Which, as he originally stated was the original reason he originally instituted the "no hammer" rule.

I wasn't totally forthcoming with the reasons why I took out the hammer. Part of it legitimately is a quality-of-life test, because uncertain deadlines aren't great for anyone, and are particularly troublesome at times for GMs to handle. Without naming names, I was informed that people who GMed in the past reacted positively to the proposed change. I wanted to see how players felt, and figured the best route to test it would be via implementing it in this game. I'm getting the sense from this question that the feedback will not be uniformly positive lol.

However... I have two final exams that run from 2p-5p CST in the next couple of weeks, and two others that will run from 9a-12p CST. I carefully chose the start date and banned the hammer so that those exams would fall in the middle of day phases, so my cohost would only need to do a customary votecount for T-24h in my absence, potentially (worst case it would just be an hour late which wouldn't REALLY hurt anyone). So there are some meaningful logistical hurdles to overcome to bring the hammer mechanic back.

As dargorygel already said, we are looking into alternatives if the players truly are united in desiring the return of the hammer. Accordingly, to test the waters, if you want the hammer mechanic to return, I would ask that you +1 my NEXT post, which will be free of content and thus utterly unobjectionable to +1, as a quick and clutter-free "poll."

It appears that not even a majority of players, never mind the proposed unanimous threshold, who were reading the thread when I posted this were willing to signal support for a change via the +1 straw poll. In the [admittedly somewhat self] interest of preserving everyone's schedules, and because I did not receive a unanimous support from the players,

the hammer mechanic will remain barred for the duration of this game.

Players are encouraged to leave feedback to the GM - either in the thread in postgame or by DM at any time - regarding this policy, for the benefit of future games.

Having the hammer mechanic as an option doesn't mean we have to use it. Come on guys.

I've never played with a hammer, but I'm against it. My interpretation is that if a majority of people hammer someone at 3am my time, then future turns process at 3am for me. And then there's no way I'll be around then.

The phase just advances and the next phase is usually extended or shortened to get the game back on track

Quick. Everyone go around the circle and tell me who you would have jailed each night

This is a content-free GM post specifically for the purpose of extracting additional +1s from Hellenic Riot in the event that the hammer is allowed later in the game. I WILL remember if you renege.

This is rather pointless because scum PR's will just say whoever they visited each night

Sounds even better than my plan.

[ghug]

Answer seriously please we don't want scum to narrow it down based off these

N1: Chaqa
N2: worjec

Why?

[ghug]

N1: kgray

Durga, once this is done, you should accuse various people of lying and demand we vote for them some number of times before finally accusing the real person.

How many false accusations there will be remains a mystery, which makes it a useful exercise even though it's been discussed openly. Roll a d6.

[Balki Bartokomous]

This game is fun.

I played music in my friend's backyard and now I have frostbite and I'm a little tipsy.
