I'm glad I was on this side of it this time!!!!

Thanks for not killing me guys!

The town won?

JJ i think you are next to GM. Set that bad boy up ive been dead for days.

Yeah Norell was scummy as they come. I'm

shocked it took that long

Cool. Thanks guys for letting me play again.

And that's game! GG Town! I gotta fix the balance next time, I never considered Hider as a Cop role. . . don't worry, I'm contemplating really wacky builds, like 2 scum factions, some 3rd party, and NO TOWN. So many ideas. . . . also Broba, for what it's worth, Hider is my favorite role. I absolutely love the idea of it.

Well I had to try

May I point out a few thing?

1) First of all, how theis game was balanced? Two cop-like roles plus watcher plus Vigilante against two mafia and a traitor?

2) I think it's clear that we don't need more than 48-72 hours except for day 1.

3) Rolefest and mass claims make the game just as predictable and easy for the town as flavor text analysis did. In this case it ruined our whole strategy that everyone claimed on Day 2 and from there the question was not if but when they figure out the situation. it was too easy. And if everyone has roles you are forced to claim a role too because claiming vanilla will still mark you as the safe bet for lynching.

4) Roc: He handled the situation excellently and I'm glad he was my team mate in this game. I'm looking forward to play with him again.

5) Pod: Seriously.... Is this guy an idiot or a genius?

The night you guys were demanding me claim (day 2), I was furiously wiki-ing the most believable lie for a claim. Honestly I had a hard time coming up with anything that couldn't easily be countered by the roles that had alread been established and that (given me and Norell were scum), were likely being honest about.

What little I found out was that Godfather and Bulletproof (for scum) were considered to be pretty weak roles.

My gut agrees with Norell...that didn't seem terribly well balanced. The fact that Pod got a lucky whack on Day 1 just made this a done deal pretty much from the start. That being said, I don't have a whole lot of experience, obviously, but worth thinking about. @Norell, we shoulda whacked Truthi N1 :-)

Well, you had three scum and a third party poisoner. That could have gone very different had you not whacked the third party on night one. I completely get why you went after him. Mad is a strong player that you were assuming was town. Two things of bad luck there that really changed the game.

This is true. I was completely ambivalent as to which faction not named Madaghmire won the game. That said, there are fewer scum players, so I was actively seeking scum targets. Its just I didnt care much if I found them or not.

It wasn't balanced. I specifically stated that I wasn't paying too much attention to balance, instead focusing more on a 'fun' (for me,and hopefully for others) interaction of roles. I did however overlook the fact that the Hider was a weak cop role.

I am sincerely concerned with the effect mass-claiming has on the games. Next time I shall provide fake claims to all non-town players that would make sense in-game (i.e. that would belong in-game IN RELATION TO ALL OTHER ROLES). That will hopefully help with the mass-claiming issue. I detest it, and shall do everything within my power to curtail its use.

I agree. 2 deaths every other night, and mass confusion caused by the Busdriver, aided by a random death from the hider is what I was looking for. Had Mad survived to deal his 2nd dose of poison, things'd have gone better, I feel. Millers shall be removed from any further games I create. The role only serves to give the town a leader.

I think Biggs provides a fake claim example in his games. Also, another thing that I think went on that one is the amount of specific interactions between roles, cop with miller and godfather, and unadvertedly the capacity of the hider taking profit. And the bus driver who would end up having to claim once accusations came on his target because he has to say he switched the person. It ended up with situations where you had to claim to save someone else you knew something would happen to or was innocent

Haha well good game, and well played everyone, I agree with pretty much all the sentiments here, that game could have become mass carnage in very short order if I got double killed on a poison night

Good game nips, thanks for putting it together...

Now for the next one?

Hey all! I'll have the signups for the next game up later tonight! (battletech beta multiplayer just came out....)

They will run from tonight until next Tuesday due to me being out of town until then. The good news is that this weekend marks the end of my hectic summer schedule and back to a more relaxed one, so I should be able to pay fairly close attention to game!

Signups are up!

I suggest you also post in the main forum to attract attention. It's how we got Toad, Pod, and Roc into the game.
