Blood on the Clocktower, Discussion & Travellers Rest

Boardgames
#93

But then you’ll run into the case where someone wants to change their vote.

So, possibly rule that that’s not an option. Or that it is. Or add more structure an go:

  1. Nomination
  2. Defence
  3. Discussion
  4. Call for Vote
  5. Vote
#94

I feel like anyone who hasn’t said anything before the nomination should be able to say it during the vote, and the rest can shut up. That’s more or less what we’ve been doing; I wouldn’t recommend waiting for everyone to say something before anyone could vote, that would take forever.

Probably just discourage back and forth during the vote.

If we have the model of the defence automatically starting the vote (removing your #3), should discussion be allowed between nomination and defence?

I think the closest to the face-to-face game might be:

  • discussion
  • nomination (stop all discussion, wait for defence)
  • defence (still no discussion)
  • vote
  • result is announced, start discussion again

or one might say “discussion is allowed between nomination and result, but keep it to a minimum, and your vote is final once cast”?

I think stopping all discussion from nomination to end of vote would best reflect the face-to-face game and also keep things from slowing down too much. Perhaps allow a line or two from each player along with their vote (“I don’t believe X, so I’m voting yes”, “I’m more suspicious of Y, so I’m voting no”, etc.)

I’m not sure if it’s a rule in the face-to-face game but I’d explicitly prohibit nominations during the first 24 (maybe 48?) hours after each night ends to make sure everyone has an opportunity to participate in the discussion. Declaring that you intend to nominate someone during the discussion I think should be okay.

That makes a lot of sense.

  1. (dawn breaks)
  2. 24-hour non-nominating period (you can say anything you like)
  3. 24-hour window for nomination, discussion continues; if no nomination, go to end of day
  4. A nomination happens. Accused can defend themselves, then voting; minimal discussion
  5. Once result is in, go back to 3.

Now that you mention it… all of the most deceptive, unpleasant people I’ve ever encountered did have vowels in their name…

Indeed never trust anyone with 3 or more vowels…

Wait, Noooo!

I have the same fear of no vowels, personally. It’s a consonant worry.

I’m unilaterally declaring a winner in this game of BotC, based on the merits of this very statement.

I technically don’t have any vowels in my username. But I do in my real name.

It’s a cnndrm …

Can’t be we just killed the imp.

I’ve made a huge mistake.

Oh, wow. Here’s a non-listener to Whartson Hall (I assume) who nonetheless has grasped the subtlety of @Lordof1’s repertoire of accents.

My character has a complicated backstory. Like Christopher Lambert in Highlander

I loved the Scotsman as the Spaniard and the Frenchman as the Scotsman dynamic.

Peaky blinders came close with the Irishman as an Englishman and an Australian as an Irishman.
