Yes in retrospect a traditional faction without recruitment would have been better instead of 4 recruiters.

Judging from your opinions, maybe it is for the best that this game ends in a trainwreck,

I do know that the setup was scumfavored. But also considering the speed of the actual recruitments as they happened I thought it would be fine. Also stacking town like mad with vets did not help that much I guess. Maybe more immune blues? The thing is if one of the blues actually stole a djinn from the scumteams, they would have been a massive asset to town. I mean they could have been unlimited vigs, or even protect the entirety of town for 1 KP.
I just really wanted to try out the idea of having 4 recruiting factions trying to outsmart each other and hunting each other.

Anyway, Lessons learned:
Do not try to host another themed large game, I have funny and crazy ideas which just end in imba imba imba.
Recruitment roles are a pain in the ass to balance and I should probably stay away from them as far as possible

I do hope the game was still enjoyable to most of you.


A single recruitment role causes chaos

you had 4 that each got a 1 time replacement

Large themed games are great though.

In my opinion you should have started nuking people trashing the thread.

Lol, I made that crap up. I was VT, and I had a growing scum read on bunnies, wanted to reaction test her. I also had a doctor read on someone and wanted to eat a bullet for them.

Gimme a traditional faction, a 1-player faction, a recruiter faction and a can-win-with-town faction.

##shoot bh for now

Damn, why didn't you do that I was baiting for that all game long.

My role was this:

Welcome to Golden Sun Mafia Djinn Edition! You are a Ivan, prodigy of Kalay! You have already chased Saturos and Menardi halfway across the world, but Weyard is still in danger even after you have slain them at the Venus Lighthouse. In the current emergency regarding the Djinn you have a pivotal role. You are immune to being controlled by rogue Djinn. Furthermore you are so skilled as an adept that any Djinn, which tries to attach to you is instead restored to your control. This ability only functions once in the game. You win with the Adepts of Weyard!

Not town then w/e. You still reacted too strongly to someone casually saying you might be scrum.

Yeah, i figured as much when you started getting angry, and was gonna rescind. But then other people started having odd reactions to the claim on you, so I was gonna leave it out there until the day phase then rescind.

I think one of the balance issues was the KP could be recruited into. In Mercury for example by N3 we would be rocking 3 KP with 3 members.

I initially talked with foolishness about it (that was way back in October 2013 I believe? He pretty much placed full trust in my balancing capabilities and I think he forgot about the setup, which was preliminary at that time anyway. Somewhere in December I worked out another couple of chinks and just rolled with it, before doing finishing touches just before the game started after Koshi massPM'ed ppl. So in the end nobody from the balancing team really saw it in all its madness. I let Foolishness play also, because the setup changed so much anyway and I doubted he remembered much in the first place.

Would've been lulzy if everyone had done that, hold the KP and N3 BOOM 12 people die.

Also I want to thank all my co-hosts for:
a) a phenomenal job on keeping up with the thread
b) going along with my whims and ideas for this setup

You guys did really well and hopefully next time you co-host it won't be with a mainhost, who accidentally ends the game! :D

That isn't cool when it's alignment flip, when you claim blue and flip town we would have acted upon you giving correct information.

However i still like the idea of a detective that can identify vanilla town that weren't visited

Yeah i was pretty ticked off that i was getting scumread for this post, when people were reading me as town. And then immediately after you die, sqrt votes me...

I was prob gonna be one of the main focuses, if not geript.
