BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

But ayesdeeef will be so sad!

Anyway, I’ve overcome the temptation to ignore this for four hours, and as such quorum has dropped to 6.

Not much of a scam: if the Trial passes in your absence, players could easily ensure that there was a “when Ais523 unidles, he becomes Disabled” rule waiting for you when you got back.

Elimination in a game that lasts a month is always tough, we probably do need some Cerebral actions.

I’m aware that something like that will possibly happen. Still, this keeps things more interesting.

If people are playing as Android and Human teams, though, either it’s not in the Humans’ interest to pass such a proposal, or it’s in the Androids’ interest to sabotage it. Would be interesting to see which direction happens, if either.

I have various other thoughts about the situation, but I’m going to keep them private for now.

Also, I’m still happy to scheme with people via PM, even if I am idle. It’s not exactly out of character for me to come up with big elaborate plans to win dynasties I don’t participate in at all…

Btw, the “five and two” rule means that either Kevan has forgotten the ruleset and is hoping that things won’t be thrown out of kilter by a lack of balance, or either RaichuKFM or Darknight is an Android.

Part of the blatant scam here is that idling is actually a pretty good (but not 100% reliable) way to confirm your own alignment.

Well, no. If Darknight isn’t an Android (because of course I’m not), and you were an Android, and thus there are less than two Androids immediately after your idling, then there’s a chance that any one of us was subsequently converted into an Android, and would be informed of that. So whether Darknight (or I, but I know the chance of myself being an Android is zero) has a higher chance of being an Android than anyone depends on whether you were truly an Android, and how many active Crewmembers there were when Androids were originally chosen. Were there ten, the odds would be equivalent, whether or not Darknight was an Android.

You shouldn’t ever be unaware of your own alignment, as if you’re “converted”, the Computer makes you aware of that.

Right?

(Also, obviously, we’re all Androids, but only some of us know that (yet). The differing effect of saline and mercury are just placebos. Shh.)

Ah right, I didn’t realise that a 5-and-2 Android conversion wasn’t public. (My reasoning for you and Darknight specifically is that if either of you is an Android, there are three or more Androids.)
