Zombie Thread

[Wagonlitz]

We cannot integrate people from other forums, why do you think that is happening?

Because of vastly different culture. E.g. no PMs and utter spam frog style.

Suggestion. If GM wishes he/she can impose a reasonable minimum number of posts a day (definitely less than 10b think 3 or 5).

I'd much rather have something like this.

Please read what I wrote. I understand that people can miss a single vote, and the finished list will take that into account and only "shame" chronic zombies. If you keep ignoring that fact, and my other posts, then I will have to assume you are trolling.

If anybody's trolling it's you, since you can clearly see that the post, where you stated this, was made while I wrote the post you now quoted.

I will, I just thought I'd do you a favour since you like collecting data.

There's a difference between good data and useless data. I find this data to be of too little use to warrant compiling.

GM has had this power all the time as GM has power over his game. However, it's slippery slope if GM tries to actively harry people into making contribution. Minimum number of posts per day? Just post 3 (or whatever minimum is) one-liner posts, one of which is naturally the "vote x". Substance in the posts is required? Make some BS cases that are frivolous or very shallow. If some actual thought would be required by GM it gets much more complicated as GM should have no say if cases presented in any posts are valid or not. That's up to the judgement of other players in the game, not the GM (at least until game has finished).

Also, brains...

I think the only thing that needs doing on that front is a role similar to the one in gotham, where a baddie can choose to kill a person who hasn't voted or posted less than a certain number of times.

How many folks do they have playing, how many do we?

At the point you need to start introducing roles to weed out the behavior it might not be to late to look at behavior thats generating these roles....

Torn is right, there is a need to change.

Depends a lot on game style. They're trying to round up 100+ people for a single game. As well, they have blitz games with short (half hour?) days with very few players. Standard games seem to be between 13 and 20.

Maybe make npstr's zsasz role which kills zombies a permament addition? Lots of people said they liked it, and it'd be more interesting in game than just GM lynches.

 

[delpiero1234]

It's still a wall of shame which risks driving away he people on it.

Too many people ruin forum games by dropping out of forum games. I support this list.

It's a quick-fix, not a solution. What if a zombie gets an important role (e.g. seer)? It's better to just not have zombies in the first place.

 

[Wagonlitz]

No idea how many they have. And as mentioned they have a whole other structure with no PMs. Plus we are an obscure part of an obscure gaming forum.

This.

You don't even play WW.

And this is not even WW player talking...
Plus one to you sir.

No we are obscure because we are making an effort to drive people away....

I think you should just keep a private list that any GM can PM you asking for. It avoids the problem of public shame but any GM who doesn't want zombies can ask you for it.

 

[THE_SPLIT]

Sorry, honestly, can someone explain the public shaming aspect?

What exactly is the issue?

 

[Wagonlitz]

Furthermore, the finished list will only take the worst offenders of those who got subbed or autolynched.

People can get subbed for many reasons. If something happens IRL they might well need to sub out; that doesn't mean they are zombies.

Didn't I tell you to wait until the thread is done? Didn't I also tell you to read my posts? Didn't I even underline the fact where ONLY people who got subbed or autolynched FOR INACTIVITY will be on the list? Read before posting. Please. For all our sake's.

Does anyone on the list actually feel ashamed, though?

Learn2Read. I said forum games. That is not limited to WW. I would even go further and argue that this list should be expanded to cover all forum games.

Wagonlitz would still be correct, for under you're current definition me being in and out of the hospital due to surgical complications along with possible osteomyelitis still gets me classified as a lazy good for nothing zombie
