Proposal: Simultaneous action

Self-killed -Darth

Adminned at 30 Jan 2010 21:39:49 UTC

If the Executor’s last vote on this proposal is not AGAINST, change the paragraph immediately following the list of Dark Actions in rule 2.6 “Lights” to:

If the Lights are Off and the Executor has any Dark Lists in his email inbox with at least one unprocessed Action which were sent since the Lights last went Off and whose sender is not Dormant, he may select one of these Lists at random and process the first Action on it that has not yet been processed. Murderers and Detectives may designate up to three of their Actions to be processed as one Action. The Executor may not process a Dark List within the first twelve hours after the Lights go Off.

The first bit is to allow Kevan to vote this down single-handedly if he feels it would be too much work. That way the rest of us don’t have to take that into consideration when voting.

I know there’s been concern about Murderers and Detectives having too many special powers, while the rest of you have none, but this one is necessary so they can still move to another room, attack someone, and move back without someone turning on the lights and exposing them. It’s limited to three actions so they can still move two floors to attack and return, or attack two people (one wound and one kill) and move back, but they risk getting caught.

I’d just like to say that I legally have 3 pending proposals right now, and it feels pretty good.

I like the idea of people being caught out. I’d vote for this, but without the 3-action bundle.

I’m not sure I see any significant gameplay changes, here. The main one seems to be that if nobody’s guarding the fusebox, the extra step of moving to the basement will give the Murderers and Detectives a second chance to do their thing. But it looks like we’ve got plenty of people camping in the basement.

What am I missing?

“...Murderers and Detectives having too many special powers, while the rest of you…” So Orn is a Murder or a Detective?
I think we should string him up. and against as per Thrawn

Tec: I keep telling you people I’m a murderer, but no one ever listens.

Kevan: Yeah, that was the idea, but I didn’t think it all the way through. against s/k for now, since almost nothing is gained from this as is, but I’ll think on it and probably repropose.

What if we changed it so there had to be three “repair fusebox” actions taken before the lights came back on? Not three by the same player, just three total.

I can’t take a decision because I feel I’m missing something.
I put my vote in Kevan’s hands imperial

@Put,NonnoNaz: This has been self-killed; votes no longer do anything.

Yep!
I didn’t notice it, sorry.
