Has that been spelled out or asked for in other Racket games, or this an issue that you think is inherent to this specific game’s concept?

I assume people aren’t going to sign up for a game and then just blow it off. That’s not our site’s culture, so the thought never crossed my mind. It’s supposed to be a quirky, low-effort kind of game; something breezy to have fun with.

I wish I had this kind of feedback when I posted the idea years ago rather than mid-sign-ups. Now I can’t help but question if it should have made it this far. Recent feedback suggests I didn’t think it through far enough (or to the nth degree like seems to be the norm now?), just like Good Cop/Bad Cop.

So Gman, I think Nanook indicated a good reason to post so maybe slanking won't be an issue. It only occurred to me because of the nature of this game and yes, people do at times sign up for a game and then blow it off or slank but hopefully not in this one. You can always seek a replacement if that happens.

I think the modkill issue can probably be solved by issuing Sloonei's bpv to another member of the same faction, as long as there is another member of that faction alive. If there's not, I'm sure there is another solution.

Replacements and modkills may be employed if necessary.
I’ve been thinking about this one. In a game where you want your faction dead, I feel like penalties should be reversed. Modkills should be lynch immune if not to a certain post count.
Conversely, what is the penalty for going over the post limit? Just a slight balance question, unless I missed it, that can possibly be exploited
You know that's a good point about modkills. I usually just copy the same boilerplate content each time.

Ideally, there won't be a need for a modkill. I could prohibit them altogether. If you abandon your slot, then it means you likely won't get eliminated and that will cost your team the game.

As for post limit violations, the first offense is listed above- the player will lose their vote the next day. I was thinking of a possible tiered list for offenses:

1st Offense: Loss of next vote
2nd Offense: Loss of next vote + Removed from next chop poll
3rd Offense: Loss of next vote + Removed from next chop poll + Silenced for the next day phase

I dunno. The more I think about it, I kind of like making any offense result in a player being unable to be eliminated for the next day and night phase. That way, if you break the rules, you can't die, which hurts your team.

Thoughts?

So G-Man, the no-modkill rule could be problematic. There are some rules that if broken would have to result in a modkill. And I think you would need to have some kind of compensation for the other faction if that happens because you don't want to have the game deteriorate into one where everyone is trying to get modkilled by breaking those particular rules (in fact, that would be a nightmare for you and the mods). In a perfect world you would have someone to replace the one who is modkilled.

Also, is there a minimum number of posts per day? I'm just wondering what would keep players from just totally slanking?
