I put some tips in the mod help thread earlier, but I noticed you said you spend the same amount of time modding as playing! :eek: So do you give your life over to the game while playing or what? I was taken aback by how much time and commitment was required to mod!
Yeah, I do sorta
For the first few games I was working but in a very quiet job so I spent most of my day following the games while "working" - Boards also wasn't blocked at work which helped as I didn't have to rely on my phone or my own data.
The next few I was unemployed for. I missed Tig & Mick's game because I was working and it was a different type of job where I just couldn't get on during the day and I figured I'd be lost at night if I tried to catch up then (even from the DR, I fell too far behind from Wednesday).
For this latest game I'm unemployed again. I really didn't think modding took any more time than playing. In playing you've only one or two forums to read (two if you've a back room too). But with modding you've to read all the forums, which took time. But on the other hand, you didn't have to really think too much as a mod about strategy or "what's he hinting at by that post?" kind of thing, so you could just get on with it and enjoy it. I did always have loads of tabs open - one for the game, one for the WWGM account in case I received PMs, one for all the back rooms, one for the DR - but once they were all open it was easy to flick between each to see what new posts there were.
The really busy times were munch and lynch as there were so many messages to get out - the death notice on the game forum, the voting results, notify the priest of the dead peson's role, changing the access of the newly dead so they couldn't access their back rooms but could access the DR, answering seer peek requests, etc. But other than those two times of day I really didn't find it too bad at all.0 -

Fair fücks to you QB is all I'll say! I was lucky enough that I can work from home when needed so I did that on Monday, and I was off on Thursday and Friday, but otherwise I dunno how I'd have managed it. Usually when I'm playing I'll check in on the first day then skim read the thread at lunch or on the bus home. I'd give maybe an hour in the evening trying to catch up before the lynch so I could make an intelligent vote but that'd be about it. On some days I'd have little or no freelance work on so I'd be around after the lynch for a while, but not always. I found keeping up with all the rooms and the main thread to be fierce time consuming, maybe because the post rate was very high for the first 24 hours too.
For my first game or two I was completely sucked in and spent a crazy amount of time on the game, but since then I've pulled back to a normal amount.
Fair fücks to you too Necro, I saw you mention that you finished all the backrooms too. Great commitment! Could just be that I'm not as dedicated as you lot! :P0 -
so shocked when we still double tapped the cop. was i not convincing enough? ah well. i'll review and learn.
Yeah I couldn't believe that you basically said on thread "by the way, I'm evil, Mr. Burns actually, excellent, oh and we're going to munch the cop so please don't do that ok thanks" and despite some initial push back, people seemed to well.. forget about it! :P I think I made a backroom comment that was something like "could sKeith *be* more like Mr. Burns?"
:p:p Very amusing. 0 -

After that. i had to get up on the desk and shout twice as loud the second time that i was going for QB. after reading backroom, i don't think they heard me that time either. I did muze that alot of players probably had me on ignore by that stage though.0 -

Just a quick note on the chronological order of the voting.
Yes, we had the timestamps. No, we didn't publish the votes that way. Maybe we should have but the last vote only counted in the event of a tie break and the judge dead. So it wasn't really necessary, imo.
However, if anyone wanted to see the order of votes, all it would have taken was to ask us. We weren't hiding anything. In fact, we did our utmost to keep things as transparent as possible.
