Forum game idea: apolyton off-topic apprentice!!!

[loinburger]

Similar to The Apprentice, except that the winner gets the coveted position of deputy apolyton off-topic moderator. As deputy off-topic moderator they won't be given full access to the moderator's toolkit, e.g. they can only delete posts if they contain Vietnamese text, they can only lock five threads per day, and they're only allowed to ban AAHZ.

Every week the apprentice moderators will be given a job to perform, and whoever does the worst job is "fired." Typical jobs might be deleting posts from Vietnamese spambots, locking divisive threads (maximum five per day), and banning AAHZ.

Until there are at only two or three apprentices left, posters can vote to give a single apprentice immunity from being fired. Apprentices are allowed to and encouraged to garner votes through bribery. Votes are public knowledge so that apprentices can ensure that their bribe money is not going to waste.

I think it would be more efficient to just filter out posts that include the Vietnamese language. Also, AAHZ needs to be "shadowbanned" so he thinks he can post but nobody else can see his posts. It's normal for no one to respond to him so he won't notice the difference.

I'll play but only if the first task is perma-banning Ben.

So we get about 5 to 10 threads a day, all are divisive, and 2 apprentices could lock all those between them. Sounds good to me

Our divisiveness unites us.

While Thoth makes a good point, I'd say giblets wins the game preemptively here. Or rather loses, since it sounds like something of a crap job.

giblets just automated his way out of a job (or at any rate he automated his way out of 2/3 of his job; to automate the remaining 1/3 you just need to auto-close all of Mobius's threads)

I am quoting an AAHZ poast so all you guise can see it.

Welcome back. You haven't missed much.

Honestly I think MWHC adds to the place.
