You have 3 days in which you can either PM me or stay silent.

Remember: You are not 'fighting' your partner. You may both progress to the next round, or neither of you may. Betrayal may earn you some points but if you don't cooperate enough you may both find yourself locked up. Have fun!

Match 1: Round 1

Round has ended!

[RootRanger]

Are we allowed to communicate with our partner?
And we have 3 days to send just one action? Or all of the actions for Match 1?

[Xenocidius]

I can't stop you from communicating with your partner. This game is all about betrayal, so that would probably just add to the fun anyway.

Just one round. There was a bit of discussion on how long rounds should last and we determined three days to be ample time to perform actions while also not being too long and boring. We'll test it out for the first few rounds - if I receive all the PMs in the first two days or so each time I'll shorten it.

[RootRanger]

if I receive all the PMs in the first two days or so each time I'll shorten it.

...but if someone cooperates, you have no idea when they made the decision to cooperate because they don't send you a PM.

Well, say I receive 5 PMs the first day, 3 PMs next day, then none on the third. Then in the second round the same happens. Obviously I'll know who didn't send PMs, and when the ones who did send PMs sent them.

If you miss the deadline and don't send any PM, does that count as staying silent?

Or are you going to make a rule like "Send a PM only if you're betraying. Otherwise, stay silent". That way you  can betray anytime during the period, but you can't take back betrayals.

Umm ... that's how the rules are now. Only send a PM if you're betraying. So yes, if you miss the deadline it counts as staying silent. You could die in real life and still progress to the final round (unlikely though).
