"last time I was scum with Firebringer
his first post in the scum PT was "yes I rolled scum!"
I decided to post "haha just don't post that in the main thread", but to get up to date on the main thread first.

I mean it's not distracting from the game - it'll be part of the game.In post 23, Cheetory6 wrote:If someone swaps they're inherently drawing attention to their slot which is a decision they can choose to make or not.
If everyone gets to pick who gets which PM the game is just going to be meta about every slot rather than the few who decide to swap games for some reason.
Wherein the reasoning for swapping games could be a variety of reasons and less distracting from the game.
The actual reason for swapping hardly matters, it just depends on what percent of the conversation y'all would want to be about some sort of selection meta. If the answer is some small nonzero positive number then yeah swaps work.
The primary concern I'd imagine is it'd be fairly trivial for a player to pseudo-clear themself without downside via swap. (It becomes optimal for the hypothetical lopsided player to always swap into a town game regardless of the rest of their team's distribution and their original role just to reinforce the non-randomness of their choice). If that's not undesirable then :shrug:
(If swaps are announced simultaneously and there are sufficiently many lopsided players they can even use swap ordering to weigh games as desired).FLASH OF GREEN- Flavor Leaf

Wouldn't doing that inherently draw attention to the other slot though?In post 26, Ellibereth wrote:The primary concern I'd imagine is it'd be fairly trivial for a player to pseudo-clear themself without downside via swap.

My experience trying to deal with player preferences in the /invitational leads me to believe blacklists for this, if people are too aggressive, is going to lead to a game with all the disliked players in it that no one enjoys. Just something to watch out for with your implementation if you hadn't already considered it.Taking a break from the site.- Jingle

I also think switching after is fine and exciting. I think it keeps it fresh changing specific stuff like that from different years.

Btw I personally agree teams shouldn't get to pick their role after randing, that probably affected my team the most out of any last time because I feel like everyone there to start was at least marginally better at town over scum.<Embrace The Void>
