News:

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

Spider subsuming Cabal-member -------> ????


I was thinking that if The Machine™ has not been created by the time a Cabal is formed, the same 50% chance exists if a Spider attempts to subsume a Cabal member.

The reasoning is as follows: The Cabal has an advantage in that they know and can trust each other, and organize their votes in secret, and can narrow down their choices of who is a Spider.  Even if the Cabal is broken, they still know who's in and who's out.  Plus, I want to limit this to coin flipping, and not dice rolling.

And it becomes a strategy whether it's worth it to form a Cabal if you think you can nail one of the Spiders before they form The Machine™.

That seems like it would work. Forming a Cabal is only beneficial if the Machine has been formed. I'm in.
Is it plugged in?

Ok, that's 8 people.  We need more.

Freeky, I wanted the rounds not to be bound by time.  If someone is having a rough day at work and can't get online, or if they're taking the weekend off, the game shouldn't penalize them for that.

yeah but afaik, she was talking about a minimum time, not a time-limit.

cause it would also mean that, in the event that everybody is online during a round, the round will be over as soon as everybody has said something right? so that means some people will only get to put in one post in a round. and as someone else said, sometimes it's good to see what others have to say first.

so how about saying that a round will take at least 24 hours, and longer if not everybody has posted yet?

also, count me in. this weekend I might not be able to be online every 24h though (dunno when you planned to start)

Question: Is the Cabal broken after only one of it's members is Subsumed or Bused, or must all members be removed?
Is it plugged in?
