Mini 1842: Pokemon Episode 6 Knocked Out

[Radja]

Creating a spec thread just for you Tere <3

Everyone's alive so it's just us.
I have high hopes this is going to be an epic game...

[Radja]

lol how cool!

We might get company soon. JaeReed and Impoetic have been compromised by having a chat outside of the game.
So I had to replace them. I asked them to join the spec thread.

Welcome curiouskarmadog!

[Radja]

Welcome Wisdom!

[Radja]

I'm on it!

[Radja]

Welcome Sword of Damocles!

[Radja]

holy crap sword was town??

[Radja]

Welcome Shadow_step

[Radja]

lol this setup spec sure is amusing.

I'll share spoilers here:

Spoiler:

there is a jailkeeper(davesaz) who jailed White Kyurem on night 1 and Titus on night 2.
Titus is a 2-shot strongman. Wisdom was a regular kill, Shadow_step was a strongman kill.
Not_Mafia is the moonstone. He is also ascetic. If Not_Mafia targets a Clefairy, they will evolve into Clefable and become 1-shot Bulletproof
Firebringer has evolved into Clefable
Road Kamelot is also a Clefairy
Scum is Titus(2-shot Strongman) and MariaR(Goon)

Maybe that clears up some stuff

[Radja]

Why did I get no result when I tracked Titus?

because Titus was targeted by the jailkeeper

Hmm maybe you should have gotten a result actually.

Well I suppose it doesn't matter since you're dead...

[Radja]

Jk is negative utility because of the strongman. It can prevent bp maker by targeting cleafairy or mess with our tracker.
In favour of rolestopper > JK

Radja please get a better reviewer next time someone like mastin2

The jailkeeper can't prevent the evolving, because the Moonstone is ascetic.
He could block kills, the tracker or the smoker. 2 out of 3 of those are scum roles. So I disagree

Either way, my first priority is a fun game, which I think it is. There's too many variables to balance a game.
What if the Moonstone dies on day 1. What if the strongman dies on day 1. Both roles have a huge effect for scum/town. In the end, it's all about who plays the better game. So I don't mind having a game not right in the middle.

Yes but when balancing you don't take into account what happens if scum fuck up day 1 and lose their strongman then they absolutely deserve to be destroyed by town. Vice versa if the tracker/jk get lynched day 1 then it's town's fault.

Jk can block kills but in a mini where games can be over by day 4-5, and a 2 shot strongman. The JK needs to target the right scum and needs to be alive for too long atleast day 4 which is asking too much imo.

Like I said. Balance is not my first priority when designing a game. I think the balance works pretty well here, but we can debate about that for days here. Let's just see who's going to win instead.

[Radja]

Happy Birthday Radja!

THANKS!!!

[Radja]

Welcome SnarkySnowman!

[Radja]

Welcome davesaz!

[Radja]

Radja did they use the strongman kill last night?

yeah. The strongman is out of shots now.

[Radja]

I honestly think town need more power in this setup. Scum have a counter to all town's PRs. A strong willed two shot cop/GS and an IC would probably be closer to balance.

Scum just called the setup broken because it's too townsided. FYI

To be honest I think they brought this on themselves by allowing Not_Mafia to live for so long.

[Radja]

Welcome Titus

[Radja]

Welcome Not_Mafia!

[Radja]

Welcome Kuroi!

[Radja]

Yeah sorry. I've been struggling with a virus and especially MS wasn't loading at all. I think I've got rid of it now.

[Radja]

yeah. That one

[Radja]

Scum no killed?

nope.

[Radja]

Scum no killed?

nope.

Shot Fire.

Are they permanent bp?

no. scum shot Dunnstral night 5 and Firebringer night 6

[Radja]

Yeah sorry. I've been struggling with a virus and especially MS wasn't loading at all. I think I've got rid of it now.

Did you try installing an antivirus?

yes. I've been scanning, deleting and repairing for the past 2 weeks. I haven't seen any signs of it for the past few days now, so I hope it's really gone now.

[Radja]

They did submit a kill for the first 2 nights. It just didn't work.

[Radja]

So are the BP'S full BP then?

If so, scum only have 1 target they can hit..

Well no, scum hit the 2 different BP's each night.

Looks like we're finally going to have our kill this time. Holy crap Night 8

[Radja]

Welcome Dunnstral!

[Radja]

[Radja]

I just noticed we are almost going for 4 months now.

[Radja]

I'll be posting results now. Prepare to spill your gut in-thread.
