	So... about all that killing... we never did decide... Increase the size of your Attachments

Guys, a few issues remain hanging regarding the role-play aspects of this team before we start:

1. Supreme Leader's Purges: Result in Execution or Exile?

We never did decide precisely how to use as "die roll" to decide this and what the chance of execution -vs- exile would be for the character (with the total number of characters the SL is attempting to execute being an extra variable). Input welcome.

2. Assassinations (player-to-player): Yes or No?

I vote No and I know that Togas said he opposes, but this is one of the last truly democratic decisions we're going to make before gamestart

3. If Assassinations permitted, how do the "die rolls" work? What is the chance of success?

(same issue)

1. Disappearance. Only the Despot knows. Then the character reappears with number 2, 3, ..., 27 (in the worst cases )
2. At this point, I think reasonnable for me to vote No !
3. There should be something to deter too many attempts, so, the author of the attempt could be killed in the process (dice 1); dice 2 to 4 = nothing; dice 5 and 6 the assassination succeeds.

I am not realy interested in this issue........ I just figure that when the time comes, either Togas will step down, or someone will ask him and he will step aside to let that someone lead the way for a while. It only becomes an issue if we have some unruly despot, who we will just have MarkG ban for us if it means 1 person stays and 17 leave....

Just because we are cave dwealers, doesn't mean we will not act in a fairly civilized manor.....

Bah!

There's no need for us to kill each other, or to work out complex rules for assassination/excile.

Let's keep it simple.

I kill whomever it suits me.

You only kill me if you get a majority AND I'm not wise enough to your schemes to kill you off first!

Perfect plan, me thinks.

I still think there should be something of a limit to how many people the Supreme Leader can kill in a set time period, however...

It would certainly affect the overall public order and the function of the very society itself if the Supreme Leader was the routinely kill THE ENTIRE TRIBE every week to ensure that the rule against new characters can't start a coup for at least a week means he can never be overthrown

Seriously, just make it so he can only kill HALF THE TRIBE in a single week . He can still commit mass slaughter, but there are limits before the community universally realize it's gotten out of hand and he goes down Caligula style...

The main and possibly only difference between a despot and an ordinary man is that the despot consider that he is not concerned by limits assigned to others. After all, we have chosen Togas for some reasons !

I think that there should be a point of no-return for the leader.

like, a point where he cant really decide on killing people anymore... his own men turn against him, and hes screwed.

The leader must announce each killing at least one hour apart. This way if he tries to kil all 17 members we have 17 hours to realize he's gone off the deep end and we can hold an emergency coup.

That's a good rule.

Only one person can be killed per hour.

Perfect solution.

Just to note, even though you're "dead" your family still gets to vote in the coup thread. You just can't be the only who started it.

We could just use GMT time, or increase the limit to one person/every two hours, or something.

Unless I'm not getting your drift.
