Important:Hi everyone, I just woke up. Was reading back through the forums and reading
Post#1339...
And milnejw is inactive now, but looked really towny before (but i could be wrong here).
... made me think about how best to address milnejw's inactivity (I just checked and it's nearly 5 days now!). I believe someone else mentioned his inactivity a day back or so, can't remember who. So it's been at the back of my mind. Since he could be any Role, and I don't want any faction to get a free ride (Montague/Capulet) or a disadvantage (neutral/Mafia) due to his inactivity, I have the following announcement to make:
I have decided that for the proper functioning of the game, that
@milnejw24's Night and Day actions will be programmed as follows: If he is Town, he will default to leaving his house at night, but will not carry out any night actions. He will bring half of his coins and a randomised selection of items from his inventory. During the day phases, he will not buy any items. This will also be the case if he is a solo neutral. If he is part of a neutral or a mafia team, then his teammate(s) will be given full power to puppet his Role and control his activities at night, as well as to make purchases during the day phases.
My reasoning for this decision:
- Town will no longer be able to ignore him, regardless of his Role.
- If he is Montague/Capulet, the opposite House may wish to steal from him or kill him in order to outnumber their rival House.
- If he is Town or neutral, it allows mafia to kill him without needing to purchase Oil or Poison.
- If he is neutral, solo, his win clause would still have to be considered if it plays a vital role in the structure of the game.
- If he is neutral, team, then it is not fair on his teammate(s) that he suddenly went inactive.
- If he is mafia, then it is not fair on his teammate(s) that he suddenly went inactive.
- It provides strategic opportunities/problems for enterprising players of all factions who want to maximise their possibilities in this game.
