[Zone_Q11]

Hey folks, what are your thoughts on the old BotF locking votes system? I noticed it is no longer present in recent BotF. Did the majority dislike that aspect of the game?

[Chomps]

is it where people couldn’t change votes on a clockwork based system?

it was 1. super time consuming for hosts and 2. just not worth it

Blood on the Forums XIV - A Devil's Game - Evil wins

It had been a while since the last demon invasion in the Bluff. People began growing less weary, and decided that now is the best time to host a long since cancelled game that had been celebrated for many years before the whole demon fiasco. Some would call it “Prisoner’s Dilemma”, yet others would call it Virtue’s Last Hope. Unfortunately for the people of Ravenswood Bluff, as they were finishing the final operations for the game, two mysterious beds of flowers spontaneously grew, one showering…

Gaga’s making me a little nervous with her retconning Die with a Smile onto LG7 buttt pop off?

[Daeron]

For those of you wondering, Die With A Smile (the song with Bruno Mars) has now been confirmed to be on LG7, when she had previously said it was a standalone record

read “nominations and voting”

ok I can see why we dont use it anymore
sounds very painful

[Daeron]

Cost/benefit analysis said it was bad
It is better than the current system but it costs far too much time

[Atlas]

also also some people just plain disliked the system

[Daeron]

1 is not a problem for me. (Wasting time is my field of expertise.)
2 depends on the context.

Ah, well. If players don’t like that part of the system, then I won’t use it either.

*reads this post for the third time*
Wait a minute. Cost of time is not an issue to me. Daeron, how was the old system better than the current system? All it does is just lock the votes.

For the record, if I don’t apply the locking votes part of BotF, then The True Majority System and The Clockwork System would have no clashes, and the latter would actually stay as a Standalone Core System.
