NJW2000  You're busy and all, thread moves fast, sorry for big and bold.

When you can, please read this and fix or not.

Nobody hammer until I know if NJW doesn't want to fix that mistake or not.  Day goes past weekend if we don't hammer, I don't care if NJW needs days.

No, I understand why a hammer would be bad right now. I do not want a hammer to happen—too many people have been too quiet. What I don't get is why you think it's likely (?) to happen.

Probably just paranoia, and a deep look at the spheres, and I've seen other games where someone suddenly had 2+ votes, and this seems the game for 'vote-in-the-box' surprises at any time.

Frankly, I'm not really surprised by anything I might see happen mechanically this game, day or night.  I'd be glad not to see that happen.

That is believable but (a) I think the paranoia is unhelpful and (b) it isn't reasonable to ask people not to bring anyone to L-2, seriously constraining the use of votes as a pressure tool, because someone could pull a double vote out of their pocket and surprise hammer (which would be a terrible play for town and a bad one for scum). By "ensur[ing] 0 chance of a hammer" on EJ did you mean unvoting him or just not piling any more votes on?

nqt Thank you.  We need confirmation, or I do.

Are these items not a match because their names are not a perfect and exact match?
I have not yet seen a trade happen that did not have a exactly-matching name.

I'm not going to be too exacting about requiring the full item names so long as there's no ambiguity in what people think they're sending. If I have a Black Dog of Impending Doom, I can trade dog for cat and that will be checked, but if someone asks for trade cat for white dog of holy peace, then it won't go ahead as I don't have an item that matches.

Gotcha.  At that second I was not tracking votes and didn't know how many each name had when that was said.  I am trying to track a lot of different 'this changes everything' factors in my head at once and attempting Xanatos Gambit for town with a lot of unknowns.  I want the knowns covered, then I'll relax nicely, I think.  It's actually MS hammer I'm currently both worried about and think is reasonable, but for the sake of the all let's get the trades sorted first and see if we have more business.

I will attempt to be calm.  I'm not smart enough for this much Xanatos.

Ahh, EP has helped me calm a lot!

NJW we need 1 more EBWOP or something.  I have no idea what the rules convoluter njw will make of this amazing trade offer!

But what if:

A offers dog for cat.

B offers cat for dog.

Last minute!!

C offers cat for dog.

Who would A trade with?

One final bit of advice to you Imp, before I likely die tonight. Keep you head cool, try to stay calm no matter what happens. And good luck.

Dearest Qua, who is up in Heaven, I am trying to stay calm, for everyone's sake.  Also, this is tribute for you.

I swear this has already been answered. But to reiterate, trades are processed from most recent to least recent. So in this situation, C would trade with A.
