if there are 5 yes and 5 no, the government is rejected.
What assumptions you make about the alignment of the then-rejected pres/chance is up to you.
We are waiting on 2 votes.

I voted the only way possible given the circumstances. I'm going to post more since later today.

EBWOP:starting from later today.

P.S. I'm not drunk, I'm just an alien in an Englishmen World.

There is wisdom is your words, good sire! Nothing I would like more than to "belong".

I'm not comfortable with someone pushing my voting right so openly, I have nothing on both of them candidates, they mean nothing to me as well, the lie, all politics lie. I would gladly to reconsider when I have at least a fraction of "experience" living under their new law system but for now I'm not entirely interested.

OMG, one reason is worse than another, not fond of voting opinion manipulation. I bet there are at least two more quite logical reasons to be (a dick) indifferent to politics.

Easy for you to say, you seem quite determined.

Can you explain your sentence: ' ties go in the F's favor'

Is that just if someone absteins? Or is a tied vote passing for a fascist president?

I stand corrected.

I believe that this is a good thing. If it is, congratulations. If it is not, I am sorry to hear that.

I think this must have been just a mistaken Mod statement. Micro probably meant that tied votes usually favor fascists, simply because it brings us closer to a topdeck and topdecks carry high chances of flipping a fascist policy.

But if this is not correct I want Micro to make that clear too.

I am still waiting for you to reply to Dedo's post #80.

I think Micro meant that for a government formation, a tie means NO. Need 50% +1 to pass.

He accidentally said it favours Fs when he meant it favours NOs.

But I could be mistaken.

I think Lift means the sacrament?

If so, best wishes to her. If not, best wishes to her either way.

Weekends are usually a time when I'm often unavailable. I will try to check whether the election is over during the sunday, but no promises. I'll see you all on monday morning at the latest.

Probably.

If everybody votes YES because the only reason to vote NO is because you're scum, then there's nothing to analyse if a government conflicts or is somehow discovered to have been lying.

IF you say to yourself "I'm probably going to vote YES but I might just vote NO based on no particular reason", then it gives the fascists a opportunity to sway the vote, which means that votes might be worth analysing.


Nah this is stupid. Don't do this. I probably should delete this post instead of sending it.

Not sure what my "view on things" is. Still taking the temperature of the room I guess?
I see people already suspecting other people even though nobody was elected yet, and not a single policy passed.
Could that be a smoke screen?
Also... Gummy bears... WTF is that supposed to mean? Is it a clue?

This, apologies.

+++++++++++++++++

I meant a tie favors the NOs.
For any government to pass, whether L, F, or a mixture, it needs 51% of the vote to be yes

++++++++

Also, if a player wants to abstain, but the script doesn't allow them to do so--is this a no?
Because in IRL, an abstain means they count towards a forum, but the 50% threshold doesn't count their presence.

However, I tested the script, and the script Pooka wrote doesn't allow abstainings in that way; it just treats it as "no vote for now" and doesn't let the gov pass or fail until "yes" or "no" is filled in for ALL players.

++++++++++++

Gummy Bears are kind of the americanized version of "Jelly Babies", an English candy loved by Tom Baker's Dr Who.

I love gummy bears myself, too. Cadaver asked for seat 13 in a 10 player game. The thought of 10 chairs filled with gummy bears (or a single giant gummy bear each?)--such that seats 1-10 were not available-- struck me as funny.

Congratulations! That is a big milestone!

As it should be per the rules

It also has strains of this video running through my mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5d8pVg3Qtg
Apologies; I mean that ties go in the "NOs" favor.

I misspoke earlier.
Ok.

Somehow I missed this post (I wasn't ignoring you!)
Yes, i see that now.

Yes. That's it. Thank you all for the good wishes.

Tbh I don't think #2 fully fits.
(ex: I don't see scene's play style/etc here as being [mostly/fully] fueled/motivated by selfishness)

Hope you have a good time of it, then.
