As good scum, you seem pro town but are consistently wrong. As an average to good town, you aren't always right and you seem pro town. | ||

I don't think you're on "Ace" level yet, where you get scrutinized and lynched almost solely because of your reputation. I think people will just be more wary to call you town so easily. | ||

Looking too townie to be alive is rarely a huge concern since nobody is going to lynch you on that reason alone. If it leads to a legitimate case being made, however, it can become an issue. | ||

Did you enjoy trying to manipulate the list towards your own ends while having to deal with unknowns like scum in the mason chat? I enjoyed it, but there were a couple issues which fixing would make it better imo. We had no idea how changes to the list resolve(I apparently had priority over some other actions because n1 my check didn't hit who I wanted it to and Shiao was 2 slots below me instead of one). After that I stopped trying to understand it. Not necessarily a full list of cop then watcher then other list modifiers or whatever, but even if I wanted to plan with Onegu to set up ourselves for a check/watch on someone, it was still a toss up. The other issue with Black Mesa was there was no incentive to post in it, at all as town with the pseudonyms. With scum possibly in it, planning wasn't reliable because you'd be announcing what you were doing. The best we could accomplish was establish scum was in there, which doesn't do anything with pseudonyms. I probably wouldn't have posted in there period had Onegu not outed himself, except maybe for a will post. Not sure how to fix that one other than requiring real names if you post, but then scum has no incentive to post in it at all. Maybe something like they get a vote to either give a power, a mini-election to give vet status or something like that. Overall the game was a blast, thanks for hosting. Cross I disagree about not claiming to BM, but I'll have to type that up. Regardless, thanks for the analysis. | ||

I might bring this mechanic back later, after experimenting with it in 2 games I find its fun and unusual, and its really complicated to resolve if you are not used to it or dont have clear orders written out for every role. | ||

It doesn't mean shit if obs QT (or even living players) or whatever knows you are scum, if they can't lynch you. You did what you had to, you won, nobody lynched you. ggyo! :D | ||

I liked this version, but I think there might be some problems in any non-giant game with making it interesting. You need a certain number of shifting roles, scum probably needs 1-2, you maybe need a 3P that interacts with shifting, feels like it requires a large commitment if it's not a major focus of the game. Heck, almost seems like you could build a Death Factory-esque game out of it. Player 1 gets lynched, people have abilities to move folks on the list, check slots next to them. I don't know that it's unique enough to not just be Death Factory, though. | ||

I'll just say a few things about some roles. The idea behind austin's iGrok role was that mafia could take a risk and recruit non-mafia to a sleeper cell for extra kp if they felt they could control that person or that person had bad reads. If he wanted to play safe, he could just add mafia to the cell and not use kp. I am sad that cephiro didn't get shot because I wanted him to use the other part of his role lol. I also wished the game went longer, so that the Red and Blue could have battled longer because then they would have gotten more than just a 1-shot mason each lol. Yeah, I don't think I have much more to say. Congrats VE and Wave and scum for winning. I guess my biggest advice for town this game would have been to follow this guide: A General Guide to Playing Mafia. | ||

He did a lot of work coming up with the setup and roles and making sure that things are fun and crazy, but still balanced. I'd definitely play in/host another one of his games anytime (but you'd probably figure that out anyway from my game history lol). Let me make it known for when my PYP gets posted, I took a whole bunch of inspiration from Greymist, abd I am also consulting with him on certain things (including balance). Hopefully that's some incentive for people to join when the time comes. For now, maybe go join Xfire's game!! :D | ||

I actually thought there WAS a Death Factory game element...considering there are roles that have been in previous games and verily part of the game TOOK PLACE in a previous game, I suspected that someone was going to activate "the incinerator" one of those night-phases. | ||
