The Battle of Gettysburg **Game Thread**

Nice.

I think what has taken place with the vote deadline was a little unfair for mac. The deadline wasn't announced with the last writeup so it didn't allow mac to defend himself and to allow the village to potentially turn the vote. I think that if a deadline is going to be set from now on, it needs to be announced at the writeup.

I will set a deadline in the write-up from now on. But quite frankly the writeup was at 945AM, A day phase that lasts 9 hours is a bit long.

The deadline was imposed at 225PM, roughly 4 1/2 hrs of time had passed until the deadline.

I think it's unfair that a deadline was enforced like that when there was still good conversation going on. Mods have always allowed a deadline to pass if posting was still going on and a limit had not been reached.

The deadline shouldn't matter for a day phase if people are still working things out and talking.

I agree, the deadline should have been announced from the very beginning. Placing one in the middle of the day when things were still being sorted out was a little tough.

But we should have played it better. It is what it is. Time to regroup and move on.

Everyone has their own rules. I know mine have been criticized before, but it's a learning process. At the end of the day, you can't please everyone. As long as the rules are consistent throughout a game.

I generally prefer that deadlines be set in stone* in the writeup, but it was announced well beforehand. It sucks that mac got voted out by 4 people, but it's part of the game. We failed to even come close to reaching a majority and mac was unaware of the deadline/unable to post. A fail on both sides I would say.

Not like it's the end of the world however. Plenty of game left to go.

* sometimes game/life situations make adjustments necessary.

I don't think that is true. There' ve ben many strict deadlines enforced.

My preference as a mod is deadlines set in stone.

After the unfortunate death of the Union Seer Maj. Gen. John Buford, the Union General, Gen. George Meade, took it upon himself to avenge the death of his Cavalry leader.

shoot down redwill's balloon

[Kraftster]

Well, the write up seems to imply redwill is not himself tge angel.
Doesn't seem he'd be acting so antagonistically if he was some other green. Seems way more like conduct designed to draw the bullet of our vig when he knew he had protection.

Shoot redwill. Color please-phone.

Redwill having fun these past couple games :lol

[redwill]

I don't think I was acting antagonistically. I went with mac (along with Kraftster) and others followed.

well i think there are are probably 2 angels? confederate and union? and id imagine that union vig would shoot at another union member so redwill was probably protected by the confederate angel. and i would think that the confederates would protect themselves? shoot redwill

While I'll admit it has been kind of fun, someone else is having a great deal more fun at the village's expense.

Fearlessly would perhaps have been a better word.

[pittsports87]

shoot redwill
He lived too long last game, won't let that happen again.


And sorry about my inactivity so far, it's the first week of classes for me so I've been busy with that.

[IrishEyes]

shoot redwill

I'm so confused.

[redwill]

I'll go with that. Like I said, it's been a long while since I've been blue AND survived this long. I guess I've been a bit drunk about it.
