And possibly allow scum to choose which person to kill if someone was killed who was being bodyguarded by multiple people?

[Plotinus]

For me, the main point of the setup was that the game I was a bodyguard in sucked but all I had to do to stop playing was correctly guess the night kill, and I did, and I was nightkilled, and then I could move on to the fun part of cheering people on from the dead thread.

Sometimes you have a really great game and you want to stay alive and keep convincing everybody that you're right; then you don't protect.

Sometimes you have a game where you're enjoying it but your reads are a bit off but you think X is doing well. So you protect X and if they're scum then you get to keep playing, but if they're the nightkill target, better you died than them.

Sometimes a game is just no fun at all and you just want to die or replace out but you've never replaced out of a game before and you hate doing it and the knowledge that you just have to figure out who the nightkill target is going to be and then you can stop playing is enough to sustain you.


I'd like to preserve that so that a person who wants to be killed still has a reasonable chance of being killed. But I want it to be more fair to the scumteam, too. The scumgames that I've lost were almost all lost at least partially due to fucking up the nightkill one way or another and the way it is now guarantees that the nightkill isn't going to land where scum wants it.

@noscience

: factional 1-shot roleblock? factional 1-shot strongman?


pedit: I like that. They could submit the entire playerlist in order of who they want to die the most. The first name is their target, and then if multiple people protect I use the order the scumteam submits instead of random order. I agree that making bodyguarding compulsory would help because then even the obvtowns have to protect each other.

[RadiantCowbells]

That suggests to me then that a roleblocker is what you would really want to add.

[RadiantCowbells]

idk I loved the way the setup felt and I think if anything the best thing to do would be to take away a mislynch from town.

[Plotinus]

6:3? 6:2? 5:2?

[RadiantCowbells]

Or just run it 7:2 and have town lose at lylo

[RadiantCowbells]

NS, how are you on that idea?

Do you think that would be more fair, so that instead of having to have one scum be in the top 2 or two scum be in the top 4 towniest players it just requires one scum to be in the top 4 or two to be in the top 6.

[Espeonage]

If tweaked, it has potential to be a mainstay open. It is an awesome mechanic.

[RadiantCowbells]

Damn, I'm sad this game ended.

This was definitely my favourite game of the year besides maybe 167.

[Plotinus]

probably will /in to mod the sequel in a couple weeks. i think factional roleblock will help a lot.

[Espeonage]

/prein

[Tere]

/prein from me too

[Espeonage]

I nommed ploti for best mutation too. Go 2nd and nth

[RadiantCowbells]

/pre-in

[The_Jester]

I'm so fucking salty.
I'd like to replay this setup from a town perspective though.

[Plotinus]

you did really well in your first scumgame. it wasn't your fault that you lost. The setup was townsided and you were also up against a very strong town.

[The_Jester]

That's true. When RC posted his analysis I didn't know if I wanted more to applaud him or murder him mercilessly. Probably the latter.

/pre-in if allowed.

[Plotinus]

of course you're allowed

[notscience]

Making it compulsive would work too.

Compulsive+scum can pick who dies if multiple target the same person is even better.

[Plotinus]

in addition to the factional roleblock or instead of?

[Bins]

Jester you had everyone fooled from how you were acting

it was literally NKA that caught you

so well done

[Tere]

Oh god everyone grouphug Jester.

Dude, you did really well. Was that really your first scumgame?

[Plotinus]

(((((Jester))))) you were great

[Tere]

Plotty, I wouldn't flex it too far, go for one iteration change and see how it goes You did have several town bloc sided players rolling town and this setup plays to that strength.

[Plotinus]

I have made myself a mod PT for slavic music mafia II and have the opening posts and stuff done. There is one prein slot left. will still be a couple weeks, though.
