In my opinion, DrH should get the banhammer and you should have a suspension from putting games on the queue (2 weeks would be sufficient). You did not contact anyone to balance the set-up and your decision to be a bastard host directly affected the course of the game. Those are two things a host should do, and you failed to do them.

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

Civilized discussion of the issue would be nice (speaking specifically of the issues between Cora and Blue), especially if you folks would be kind enough to include quotes and links for context, so I don't have to read 150 pages of game to figure it out.

Much appreciated. Remember to keep your cool. ^_^

Problems with my investigator checks:

Ok, so now that the game is over, I want to explain why I was screwed over by the hosts.

I asked Phagga if I could check myself N1. 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.

Original Message From cDgCorazon:
I'm not objectively investigating myself. My equipment was objectively investigating me. Since my equipment does not have a mind of it's own, I was checking it to see if it was functioning properly.

My role pm said my brain was fine, just the equipment I was using may or may not be broken. Therefore, I should have been able to deduce my sanity from checking myself.

Original Message From phagga:
That would depend on your sanity. However, you cannot get your sanity back by checking yourself. How can you objectively investigate yourself? It does not make sense. So you get the only information back that you are sure of: That you are a Detective.

Original Message From cDgCorazon:
No, my first check should've come back "town" because I am town.

Original Message From phagga:
We are not bastard hosts.

You're first check came back as "Detective" because you checked yourself, your second one comes back like an alignement cop because you ARE an alignement cop.

Original Message From cDgCorazon:
Are you guys bastard hosts? Why did my first check come back like a rolecop and my second one come back like an alignment cop?

Original Message From phagga:
Your investigation returns Town

Original Message From cDgCorazon:
Haha I'm really sorry, but I want to check TanGeng this time. And I'm serious this is the last time I will change it.



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:

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.

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.

To be fair and I don't know how to factor this in, but town got 2 hydras as well. For the cops there was a sane cop, an insane cop and a coin flip cop (50% chance to get either alignment regardless of actual alignment). I think it was a very tough setup for town win given that scum could hit 2 people on N1.

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.

It sounds like the best route to take in this situation would have been to get a neutral third party involved like Foolishness to provide some clarification after night two. It was clearly a mistake on the hosts part to provide a role on night one, but calling them bastard hosts for their mistake isn't fair to them.

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.
I'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt. I mean not that fancy store bought dirt. That stuffs loaded with nutrients. I... I can't compete with that stuff.

Well I have a few setups in mind

1. The Setup I have in mind the most

[redacted]

Just to challenge the players to have no confirmation over nuthin' and just pure scum-hunting in thread. Would be horrific though if the town wouldn't be able to find anything :3.

2. I don't think this might cut by 'normal' standards

3 DTs
-One Normal
-One Reversed Results
-One Random Results
6 Vanilla Townies

1 Mafia (one-shot) Vigilante
1 Roleblocker
1 Goon

Those are the setups I have in mind, atleast right now.

If the quoted corazon post is the worst of his language then a warning is ridiculous IMO. AS for bastard hosting. If you don't like someones games don't play in them.

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.

the fact that foolishness approved that does make me a lot more scared to play in closed setups though

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

The hosting was fine in Bluelightz's game, I just think the outcome of the check in question was unfortunate. Also I thought the game was balanced enough, maybe slightly scumfavoured but nothing that affected the outcome (imo).

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

Yeah, what I'm seeing here is people blowing up issues out of proportion (I'm not talking about the entirely reasonable DrH ban), simply put, someone screwing up while hosting is a thing that happens, and that you have to deal with, and the banlist doesn't deal with hosts anyway, it deals with players. If you have an issue with how a game was balanced, etc, the Active Games List or PMs with foolishness is the place to argue it. Hell, the postgame is a good place to discuss it. In that vein, I won't post my thoughts on the balance of that game here.

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.

I'd second the ban for DrH. When I asked for his reasons he answered that he was ragequitting and being to busy. I saw he did the same in the still ongoing Sicilian Mafia at around the same date.

Requesting a warning (for inactivity) for hapahauli in Gold Rush Micro Mafia. He ended up being modkilled for inactivity, as the 1 per 24hr posting requirement was described clearly in the rules and in post made in the thread summarizing the custom rules for the game. Only a warning because although he failed the meet activity requirements, hapahauli was still posting (occasionally) and is generally a good player. The reason I am requesting a warning instead of doing nothing is that his lack of activity (and subsequent modkill) made the game play out rather differently. I still think scum would have won, because most of the town had hapa pegged for Jester, but it would have been a different game for sure.

Something I always wondered. Will my name ever come off the warning list? That warning is probably approaching about 3 years now.
