This is the summary of the Game mechanics
Basically, my idea was to make a game out of either roles I've had in the past or fake claims I've made in the past (yes I know I'm a narcissist) And overall it was pretty enjoyable for me to see how these roles from different games designed by others would interact with each other. Balance isn't my strong suit even though I do try to not make any side too powerful but its subjective ofc. From my experience, its way too hard to be scum on FE so I do tend to give my scum teams a lot of firepower. And I love the idea of having them choose what role they want instead of randomly assigning one.
I made a mention of this in the Commentary thread, but the "special prize" was moreso meant to be a red herring since I didn't expect anyone to actually remember that these are roles they might have seen before. It led to a lot of hilarious hashtags, mostly by im317, so it was a pretty amusing success for me personally.
But because the prize was a thing and it could end up affecting the day's voting, I made the win conditions to be MORE than 50% of the remaining players for both Mafia and Cult. And that's why we had to have Day Seven. Sorry for that as it's a very frustrating thing to sit there and make points and for someone to just shut them out. It played out very interestingly with Shadow's fake 3P hunter claim. Special shout out to Jed, even though he made what looks like a mistake by voting with Mafia, his line of thinking was pretty spot on in that if Shadow was lying and/or Mafia, game was already lost. Going through the motions of a night kill would have been pointless.
Lastly, there were certainly some calls I made on resolving weird role interactions. There may be some difference of opinions there on how someone else would resolve it which I respect but I tried to resolve it my way and be as logical as I could about it. If I had any doubt, I tried to look up the role descriptions on some of the Mafia websites. But I do wanna apologize if it ever came across as unfair in anyway. And ofc the blunder with missing the tie vote on Day 2. I was at work and multitasking so I missed a critical vote. As it happens it actually helped town way more to mislynch Reaper and not lose Farlig but that's besides the point. Sorry again for that one.
Thanks again to everyone for putting up with the weirdness and the shenanigans of it all. | Oh I didn't see this until now. Nav I guessed the theme! | |
