tristan did it that way but i dont have much opinions
she scrapped the majority requirement to execute and made ties random because she was running a vortox script and she explicitly did not want a vortox win by cheesing a tie (which is not possible in a live game)

this is probab/y how i will be running it when i run my next botf (which might be a while because art is hard)

I just realised the forums didn’t close after this BoTF was opened for signups.

I stand by the only way long form voting can work in a botc game is via a bot or outside program :P

I still wonder how the backup for old FoL got corrupted in the 1st place.

Unoffical just recently made a botc bot that can lock votes and it is one of the things that makes me wanna run a text botc games. not having to stress about nominations and how votes lock is a god send

if votes were run how magnus ran it id be fine playing
i just cba to have to scrounge a spreadsheet to find the gamestate
i think the way magnus ran it still has problems that tristan has pointed out and thats why tristan runs it the way she does
but she has strong opinions and i do not
im fine as long as i dont have to go spreadsheeting to play the game

i kinda disagree still especially when it comes to having a “i am gonna change my vote if you change you vote” thing

idk
it seemed to work fine when I was running UFB and its far less of a hassle for me
this is just my personal biases tho

half of the thing with botc voting is that evil can manipulate voting and trick people into voting how they want through locking dead votes.

If 1 was dead and saw 2 and 3 with there hand down on 4. 1 would be more likely to raise their hand. if 2 and 3 had their hand up they wouldnt be as inclined. but if there was no lock votes 1 would just raise there hand because they can and then lower their hand when they see 2 and 3 putting their hands up after him

i think that should be increased to 24 hours like unoffical. 24 hours for whispers and noms. then the day ends when all votes are ran

okay i guess if you’re open to running it whatever
but

i respect that opinion i just think its hard to translate that to longform in a way that doesnt make the game much less fun in other ways in my opinion

i think its not a core part of how i enjoy the game at least though
