EPTMy language is not even close to being a warning. That's ridiculous that you are asking for a warning for that.

I had replaced in and only had like 6 hours to make reads and decide who to check. I decided a check on myself for sanity would be a good idea. So I did it, and I got back Investigator. So I assume I was a rolecop (because my role PM was not specific on what kind of cop I was). So D2 happened and I went to check TanGeng, and he came back town. I was really pissed. Here's my exchange with Phagga: + Show Spoiler + Original Message From phagga: The PM does not say anything about the brain. Look, these are the rules. If you don't like it, we can gladly discuss it after the game is over. Just know that I checked with Bluelightz N1 before sending you your results, which means that all results so far are according to the rules Bluelightz has set out, and not an error from our side. As you can see, since I was in fact an alignment cop, I should have come back town to myself. Not even because the wording of my role pm says that should happen, it would be very balanced for a detective to sacrifice one check to have some sort of clue what his sanity was. The fact that Bluelightz and Phagga decided N1 that I was a rolecop and N2 that I was an alignment cop really screwed me over and was a vital part in the reasoning I got lynched (besides the fact that Vivax is a complete asshole). I'm definitely not playing another game hosted by Bluelightz again, and I wouldn't have replaced in knowing I was dealing with bastard hosts. You guys say what you want, but that's how I feel about it. About setup and DrH situation: + Show Spoiler + On July 31 2013 15:34 geript wrote: To clarify. Town not having a Vig in a majority voting system when Scum has a vig is pretty much as bastardly as it comes. On July 31 2013 16:08 FirmTofu wrote: I'm going to try and remain impartial as I write this, but here are my list of grievances to the hosts so they can, hopefully, improve their hosting. Take it as constructive criticism. 1) Setup was improperly balanced. You can't give scum 2 power roles, one being a mafia-vig, and not give town some sort of power role with guaranteed scumhunting power. There should have been a DT that at least knew he was sane. That way, we could evaluate the others based on his checks. We need some sort of grounding. We can never be sure that someone's checks are correct, the roles are worthless. As far as I'm concerned, town had no power roles. 2) Replacements You can't replace DrH in that kind of situation. It gives scum an unfair advantage. We can't hold DrH accountable for his actions not voting for TanGeng and thus cannot effectively play the game. He should have been modkilled. 3) Giving an alignment cop a role check when he checks himself You can't lead him on and imply that his check on himself would have value. That's simply unfair. If he's going to check himself, you should at least have the decency to tell him that it'll be worthless. If you can't do that, please, for the love of god, don't give him a role instead of an alignment. It's just common courtesy. The set-up was ridiculously scum-favored, giving scum a 1-shot vigilante, a goon, and a roleblocker vs 6 VT and 3 cops. Basically the cops would spend all game fighting each other because having 3 town cops in a game is ridiculous, while scum got a free vigilante and a roleblocker. It was so ridiculously scum-favored, and I have no clue how it got past any balance checks, if it even got through one. Idk too much about what happened with DrH but from what I understood, DrH basically ragequit as scum and got replaced. There was no way we could say DrH was scum and it kind of gave Onegu a free pass (which he used very well). FirmTofu has a better explanation. | ||

edit: All this said, I actually think that PTP 4 was a much, much more difficult setup for scum than this setup was for town. | ||

I would have handled the DrH situation the same way as they did. While having a player miss a day one vote is certainly unfortunate, if they need to be replaced, it's an unavoidable part of the game. Killing off a player for needing to be replaced is much more punishing than removing a vote from the vote pool, even in a majority lynch situation. I'm not sure if the balance team took a look at the game, but having 3 town cops of various sanities isn't unreasonable. The cops were informed that they may not be sane and the sanity of a cop was revealed on flip, validating their checks. It's difficult for town, but the roles are far from useless. I agree the mafia vig should have been removed. It's not game breaking because town still loses on the third mislynch in a 9v3 setup, but it makes a day four lynch too difficult. | ||

Well it looks like he ran the setup by foolishness, and making a mistake regarding how checking yourself as a cop (something that should never work btw) works isn't the same as bastard modding. My 2c regarding language warnings: When I give people warnings in-game for language or flaming, typically that doesn't translate for me into a warning on the banlist. If a guy is getting mad and flaming, I warn him, and he calms down, then we're good. There's no need for a banlist warning for a guy who got mad but then realized he was wrong and relaxed. If he's like getting all up in other people's business, making the game difficult to play for others and ignoring warnings from the host, then I consider that territory for modkilling him and/or seeking ban list action. I think, barring truly vile language, everyone deserves a free in-game warning to calm down. Mafia can be emotional, we've all been there. I don't know what the specifics are with cora and oats but I'd take that into account in your decision Bluelightz. | ||

Honestly, I get the sentiment and I'm not likely to play in his next game, but the games over. Damage done. Let's move on. Nobody goes out (except maybe Caller and iGrok) to intentionally try and be a bastard host. Let's just assume he made some honest mistakes. | ||

 town wins that 10 times out of 100, maybe slightly more if the game is filled with players that like conspiracy theories. | ||

Oats and Corazon 100% do not deserve censure. Do what you will with DrH I guess. Most of the grievances in this game simply shouldn't be punishable, I don't think this is what the banlist is for. Some shitty language that stopped as soon as the host warned, and a funky DT check don't seem to be punishable actions to me at all | ||

Language warnings are debatable, if the players stopped after being asked to, I would prefer no warning, but if the hosts insist, I'll honor that. | ||
