The Oval Office: Game Over

[Lokiben]

PitIcarus has requested a replacement. Searching. Still no definite deadline for Round Two.

I'm ending the game here.

I'm sorry, but I don't feel I have a choice. Inactivity has killed the cat, and the open slot didn't help. Apologies to those who were active and invested. Some players also seemed to be under the misconception that being active and starting conversations was 'scummy' despite there being no scum team and the fact that I designed the game with the idea in mind that everyone would be starting multiple conversations every round. The good news: This game served as a successful test run for the mechanical aspects of the game, should it be run again, and I'll leave an open invitation for anyone interested in hosting. I'd recommend cutting the number of conversations that a player may start in a single round from 3 to 2, though.

If players are interested, I can compile all the QTs and post the links here.

The full role list:

Playing a game in quicktopics is kinda inconvenient. Especially when there's like 5 of them you have to switch between. Its a good game, it just doesn't work like this. I'd be open to trying a skype version through calls... that could be interesting.

Damn it. I knew Ice was tricking me.

I love how Chubby is on the same team as me

[vorono]

Why did ICECLIMBERS show as red to me? I thought a neutral party would've shown as gray.

[VucubCaquix]

Neutrals show as the same color as whoever they share with.

[vorono]

Oh...

[VucubCaquix]

Question: When someone asks for a PM chain to be started, is the other player notified?

East Wing 1: http://www.quicktopic.com/52/H/NhputJdv725
East Wing 2: http://www.quicktopic.com/52/H/mBika5cE3suT
Negotiations: http://www.quicktopic.com/52/H/4eKqS3Xzz2uw8

[Lokiben]

I did notify exactly one person, before realizing it was probably a bad policy and ceased.

[SamuelJackson1972]

Such a shame...
(Also god damn it Vucub)

[ICECLIMBERS]

Got the memo late.
My plan was to force a card share with somebody and then blackmail them into assisting me or else I'd sabotage their team. Or if I knew I couldn't win let the Gambler kingmake.
I read everything in the OP except for the part about color sharing with neutrals so I legitimately slipped my alignment but just covered it up by saying that Loki didn't send me the color.

Private Conversation with Vucub, Round 2
East Wing, Round 2
Private conversation with vorono, Round 1
Private conversation with Harkonnen97, Round 1
West Wing, Round 1

I had an idea as to how this could work
1. It's held on a seperate forum, custom made for the game
2. Instead of QuickTopics, hidden forums are used only accessible to usergroups(i.e. usergroups called East Wing, West Wing and Leaders, hosts are included in all 3 Usergroups)
3. Private Chat are healed either through PMs or QuickTopics
4. Once rounds are over, the East Wing, West Wing and Oval Office chats are moved to a Hidden Archive subforum
5. Once the game ends, everything in the Hidden Archive is placed into a Public Archive
6. Multiple games could run at once
7. Role suggestions, game mechanic tweaks etc

Any thoughts?

I think it would have a problem like this game where it's harder to remember/access the forums. I that for a Phoenix Wright game and it died pretty fast.
