.....then again, he was Spectre, not a caster. He can just right click away. I'm sure he'd have found a way to whinge about mana/items/disables if he was a caster

this. as one of the few/only non-dota players here, it was why I even said I was deliberately ignoring mechanics. was always sure that pure mechanics discussion is a great way for scum to distract from their issues.
but the real question is.....which one of you moderators came up with that balanar no lynch bullshit?
I probably would have been pulling a wos and raging too tbh but hey I know shit all about balance.
it's just so cruel.
otherwise I agree with btdt - this game was mostly well done for the complexity of the roles.
as for artanis' role...idk what to make of it. it strikes me as a late-game role twist on an SK - he attacks both town and mafia, since it seems people have to claim for it to be effective for him? but when I started playing on tl, people seem to be very claim happy. idk.
I've have just kept it simple. get two town and two mafia lynched/killed or some shit. mini-sk like. maybe that'd have been too easy?
also I heard onegu had rl issues and couldn't host anymore or something random - hope you are getting better soon mate.

you still have to last hit in league. she's referring to how much I abuse casters in league yet avoid in dota. to me they are infinitely harder to play in dota compared to league to the extent I'd prefer right clickers in dota. at least that's what she's trying to say.
like yeah I know there's shit like euls and other mana regen items....but I'll admit sometimes I just don't wanna think too hard about those things.

So I havent really had a chance to do this yet. But everything in this game, credit goes to HtS, Disfor, and Shape. I did little to help them other than making things hard on them by getting as many people to sign up last minute. Second I was in Thailand for most of the development of this game. I didnt do much... All the role PMs I think were HtS and Dis. They came to me with basic questions on what is ok and what isnt and if they needed a idea on something. Other than that this game was all them.
Day 1 happend we got swamped and we started talking about what people were going to do and Shape was going to send out some PMs and I was going to send out some. And I believe HtS was doing the night post. Well about halfway through this Shape DCs and we had no idea who he PMd and who he didnt. And in the confusion I missed sending a PM to wave that he had taken damage. So what he talked about was mods fault and true.
Second I may have mod confirmed someone at some point making a post I didnt really need to post.
Then the BillMurry thing happend. He edited a post. Basically we decided he would take damage for each post he made after the deadline including the edited post and 1 damage per minute over. He took a bunch of damage. But other than modkilling him I think that was the best option.
Then after night 2 day 3 somewhere in there I went into the hospital for a few days and it was the other cohosts doing EVERYTHING. I didnt do a damn thing.
So all your thanks need to go to them and not me. BIG BIG <3 to HtS Disformation and Shapelog!!!

Also I have plans to host a themed mini that is dota themed and extremely Themed at that. Basiclly to the co hosts of this game my idea I had for this game I want to go ahead and do it. So yeah. If the surgery goes alright I will host that.

I was just the PR guy....
Fun fact: sky thought she would get so much hatemail from the no lynch, that I offer for the sentence "Please direct all Hatemail to Shapelog." in the night 2 post.
She didn't take me up on my offer sadly :/ Even NM didn't want to send me hatemail.

good game. boring post game =[

We are planning DLC, as Onegu in the above post explained however.

rofl called it. hts loves playing balanar in dota, balanar is one of her favourite heroes. I can easily see her equip the damn hero with a no-lynch abilty because she is just so evil.
seriously though with the no lynch going down I did ask her outright that if she was the one who created the hero what was she thinking, why did she think the no lynch was a good idea, other than it's been done in themed games before?
I wasn't going to criticise her especially not knowing the full extent of town abilities and never having designed themed games. it wouldn't be right of me to do that. but it seems like scum abilities topped out first and then before town abilities did.

knowing hts's preferred heroes in dota, it also wouldn't surprise me if she designed at least part of the mafia team (as she enjoys lifestealer and omni) and third party heroes, I know luna is a go-to for her when she's forced to carry, and she especially loves playing mirana pretty much everywhere.
she probably designed a good number of the supports I'd guess.
scumformation, remind me again what heroes you play in dota?
on topic, well I'll keep my eye out for the themed mini. and as stated before, I hope your surgery goes smooth. we are all behind you on that one.

You know quite a bit about dota for a LoL fanboy. And thanks

Eh it is a bit tough to say who exactly did design what hero for the most part. We had multiple Skype sessions, where we would just brainstorm around, leading to situations where one person had an idea for the first ability and someone else came up with the next two, etc..
Town line up and the basic ideas (read rough outline of the skills that heros is going to have) for nearly of the heroes was a collective effort.
3P was pretty much Hats though, correct. ![](/mirror/smilies/smile.gif) I did write all of the Town Role PM's and Hats did write write all of the Scum/3P role PMs. We did cross check a bit, but as I mentioned earlier we should have asked for 1-2 more days to fine tune and make sure we didn't miss something.
And yeah Scum had very stronk roles and we kinda had to do that, because town had a lot of investigatives etc.
For my Dota 2 experience: Played a bit with a friend of mine, who is damn good, but not long/much so my dota experience is very limited. Played mostly support and a tiny bit of offlane. Heros I remember liking: Lich, Jakiro, Bane...

@Oneg: no worries, just focus on getting better!

yes. two reasons - played some original dota way back in the day and legitimately tried to give dota 2 a chance before I said fuck it. enjoyed league way more.
