Oh, I'm very familiar with how this game goes. I host it live quite a bit. It works well live (much better than Den Style, unless you have a whiteboard), but I have no interest in playing it in a forum environment. The rules work well live (to keep the game moving during day phases), but you'll see what I mean after you play. There doesn't have to be 20 players, either. It can be cut down to 8 if absolutely necessary. It depends on the host, but that's the beauty of OOA. It changes the entire way a game is played. But there's no OOA in this game, as Sak pointed out about three times now.... =P There's also no oxygen in the air I breathe, since I can't see it.

Looks good. No problems from me. I'll be watching for sign-ups.

Glad to see you back around this part of the web.

Haha. I knew you were gonna do that. Welcome to the Den, MiKi. Or something. Have fun!

I was just confirming that there's no order of actions... No need to get snippy.

Oh, so there's no order of actions?
-
There's always an order of actions, even if you don't realise it. If A kills B and B kills C, does C die? If a Kira tries to kill Kiyome, Mello tries to kill that Kira, and Kiyome tries to mob the Kira, what happens? If a Kira kills Shidoh and Shidoh tries to take the notebook from that Kira, what happens? If a Kira tries to kill Kiyome and Kiyome tries to mob Gelus (not Jealous), and Gelus tries to save Kiyome, what happens? Depending on the interpretation of the order of actions, many different outcomes can be foreseen. 1. Kiyome mobs Gelus, so Gelus is unable to save Kiyome. So the Kira can kill Kiyome and Gelus is mobbed. 2. Gelus saves Kiyome and Gelus is mobbed for the next cycle. 3. The Kira kills Kiyome and Gelus is not mobbed. All three of these can be justified by different orders of actions. Although the third one would be counter-intuitive. OOA is needed whenever there are 2 or more actions that affect other actions (Kira's kills, Kiyome's mob ability, and Gelus' saves according to some). A published OOA lets the players know what to expect in these situations. Additionally, it allows for consistent posts from the host so the players can use logic to deduce who did what and how the situation in the night post was reached. If there are different results from the same actions every night, anyone can tell you that the game is too random. The OOA is the host's way of letting the players know how he compiles the actions.

Right, I wasn't asking for the minimum, else it would have strictly been 6. Which is also not clever. My wording was simple and straightforward for two reasons: If pi extends into infinity, can we ever anticipate a string of 5 numbers to repeat? 10 numbers? 12,462 numbers? EDIT: (The second reason is that I was bored on a Friday...which happens often where I am.)
