Yoss, another potential incentive is to say someone loses their governor/kingship if they don't roll within 3-5 days, and they are automatically switched to the other team (if they are caught).  They would lose all followers.  (Exemptions would be if they can't roll--like me right now.)

Compulsory participation is a non-starter.

Exactly.  The only thing required is to roll and state what you are.

OK, I'll rephrase, make that rule and it ruins the game by making the determination of winner extremely random, rather than by either strategy (which most ASWOT games have little of anyway so no big deal) or even for posting frequently (as most ASWOT games reward).

Perhaps it would be best to go back to my old suggestion of keeping track of how many times you've rolled each thing and that's what determines Governor.  Then you always encourage more rolls, more participation, and you're never enticed to delay for a better pre-roll.

I don't quite understand.  It encourages posting for those who are governor/king so they can get more followers and avoid the randomness of winning or losing on a 01 or 100 roll.

I don't understand your proposed rule.

In reply to Heath (msg # 179):

If I roll will that solve the problem?

Yes.  We need to start rolling again.

Charlotteen avoiding zombie attacks as she searches for reassurances

13:54, Mon 16 Dec 2013: Heath rolled 74 using 1d100 ((74)).

Heath remains a zombie and starts looking for new ways to eat brains.  (Still Zombie King. (5 rolls, still Zombie King.)

82

Heath finds charlotteen, they fight but Heath bits her foot as she kicks him. Charlotteen is now zombie

10:03, Tue 24 Dec 2013: Athena rolled 76 using 1d100

Randomly rejoining the population, Athena barely escapes Zombification... (1)

18:32, Today: charlotteen rolled 56 using 1d100.

Charlotteen rejoices as she finds the cure and is now a human

13:50, Today: Athena rolled 95 using 1d100

The cure must have been in Athena's clood or something because she is now a zombie! (1)

that means humans win this round and the dice is set at 50 again

10:22, Today: Heath rolled 10 using 1d100.

Biting Charloteen must have been the cure, because Heath is now human (1).

18:28, Today: charlotteen rolled 36 using 1d100.

charlotteen lost the cure once she is now zombie again (1)

[Lulu; 65 with 1d100, Zombie]
Lulu eats the reddest rawest meats lethargically

14:43, Today: Heath rolled 98 using 1d100.

Heath's cure must have worn off, because now he's a zombie again. (Zombie 1)

[Lulu; 84 with 1d100, Human :(]
No longer hungering for brains Lulu realizes that she hasn't got much to do, after awhile of hiding from the apocalypse and idley watching TV she decides to go outside and try to get bitten-- she was too tired to walk to the store and figured it would be easier to go Zom to get her dinner, especially if it wore off after awhile anyway, it's amazing how cool she is with technical cannibalism

"Erm..." Taz stammers as she watches some straggling zombies feed on an animal carcass. Having heard her they look, but she is already too high in the trees for them to see her. Besides none of them even bothered to look up. "Oh, please, Fates... Spare me those teeth." she whispered breathlessly.

If ASWoT gets active again, we should revitalize this thread.  It was fun while it lasted.

It seems like a really, really amazing thread. If it can be revitalized I will be a very happy human/zombie!

i should be active round here more so will play

also 32

but as she turns round to find brains to eat she tips in to a pool of water infected with the cure. she is now human again (1)

The fates didn't heed her call, rather, they allowed that simple whispered prayer travel to the teeth that wished to dig into her. The zombies climbed with unexpected velocity, and the change was instantaneous. Oh, how wonderful it was, to be a zombie. Why had she ever been so against it?
