Overwatch Mafia - Mod/Spectator/Dead thread

I have no idea why I was lynched.
Like, the mechanics cleared me from being on a scum team at least.

town is flailing hard i think

Yep.

- each night, you will hear voices.

Spoiler: I'm fine. I'm totally fine.

This makes me so sad. I wanted my ability to be good, and I wanted to be able to use it to screw with town, but the serial killer was getting it. Vonflare, Widow's Whispers was super cool. I want to play around with the idea of it more in the future.

Welcome podoboq

[podoboq]

RIP.
I'm so sorry, podo

This would have worked if I hadn't deflected towards the third party.. D:

I think you played a great game, Fox. I think we both did pretty well. We got boxed into a corner when town was refusing to start any wagons, then just threw a dart at the wall and picked you. I think if Junkrat hadn't

RANDOMLY

killed me, and you hadn't deflected toward the one remaining non-town, this game could have been pretty good for us. I hope they don't see through his ruse, because town's game was not fantastic, and if they buy his claim, he deserves to win.

Passive Ailities:

Mech

- If you die, you will return to life. If the death that caused this is dealt by the mafia faction, you will join them as a traitor. This ability will still trigger even if you are roleblocked or it was a strongman kill.

This ability is interesting, but I feel like it's not accomplishing the goal it was supposed to. You saw how it played out this game, where she essentially just got to pick to be town, which means it can't really count as negative town utility, and can really offset balance.

The way I've seen this work before is a player is passive one-shot deathproof from the factional mafia kill. When that deathproof is used up, they become a mafia goon. The mafia isn't informed of the change in alignment until the next night, when the converted player is now on their team.

This way, if the player is lynched, day-vigged, killed by a serial killer, or anything else other than mafia factional kill, they just die. That way, they can't explain their role in game, because there's no way to protect themselves. A lynch is just a mislynch, and if they reveal their role to be open, their alignment could change in the future, and they don't survive into LYLO. So they are forced to play like a traitor, in case they get converted, making them strong negative town utility.


Just my two cents. It felt like this was placed in the game to help out the scum team with only two members, but that was stifled pretty immediately by D.Va basically full claiming in order to not be converted.

Absolutely. I only realized after the fact that the mechanics could be abused in that way.

I have to agree with this.

And since they can publicly choose, it leans towards gamethrowing.

[vonflare]

Well if I make a similar role in the future, I'll keep all this in mind to make it more balanced.

Let's increase the no. of posts for no rhyme or reason.

Little does he know, it actually matters.

Hi, Wake.

[Wake1]

Did Tracer/ D.VA know I was Town? If so then bad play.

Also that lynch on me was fucked up. Like, horrible fucking play from Town.

There wasn't even an actually valid reason for it, but whatevs. Town this game has been kinda sucky.

[RachMarie]

Welcome to the land of the dead, Wake

[Wake1]

I would have liked to use that Junkrat SK role in a certain large game I know of...

For the future.

It's a delightful mechanic, definitely!

Serrapaladin's gonna win, isn't he?

[Firebringer]

Yep

Try me

Purposefully playing against win condition. Accidentally playing toward it, because ending the day earlier is going to make it harder for Junkrat to get people to his mines.

[Firebringer]

No one is considering Serra and why would they?
The dude day shot a scum player.

I mean, kinda. They think he did, but I just randomly posted on his mine.
