Why do you keep referring to the other players as "sheep"?

I don't understand what you mean here.

It would prevent people being taken out of the game by means other than being lynched (I'm thinking of the two who were incarcerated for most of the last game) and enable them to play a full and active part like all the other perticipants.
Had it not been for the brig, they would have been dead for most of the game!

Most importantly, it would help ensure people embraced the ethos of the game....'kill or be killed'....'get them before they get you'.

I hoped it would introduce some more subtle tactics.
Keeping players in the brig should be a good way to test their humanity.
If the killing stop, either you have caught a fish or the fish is trying one on.
If someone gets killed in the brig, you can be sure you have a fish in there.

Because they acted in a bah bah bad way

No seriously, just a term or phrase often used in my parts for those who are perhaps easy to lead....check back and you may well find that some followed the strongest amongst them or were too afraid to move until someone gave them a steer.

Not only me using the terminology and supported by others I believe.

Come the revolution.....they shall be the first to perish.....lamb barbecues

Hey, no problem...tis good to have a plenary session and even better to see so many contributors.

I stand by my two statements above.

I was a bit disappointed that I was axed for not voting when my internet connection was down and I had mentioned it in this very thread, but rules is rules I guess.

Minor correction - I was the one who targeted AVSM that night (albeit I sent the PM off at the last second), so most likely I got him just before, or just as you got me. I seriously doubt he was protecting me that night.

Just after, but the timing made no difference; actions are turn based, not real time.

You were spirit of the Kraken, so could not have killed a guardian (after a rule clarification). Spirit of Cthulu was the only one that could have killed a guardian in night time. I wonder though, what AVSM did, in order to get attacked by both werefish at the same time.

Turn based means all actions are applied at the same time, so it doesn't matter how long you take to decide (as long as you make the deadline) if you attack someone before a guardian protects them, it only matters that the guardian's move was to protect, so you don't get the attack in before the guardian protected that person. So, it's the action that matters, not when the action was taken.

Didn't say Neal that he was a Guardian in the game thread? That helped a bit .
