Town Meta Perspective 2020

[Cabd]

Oh hey it's the thread that describes things that happened in large themes recently.

[Cabd]

I feel like the change has to come from scum no?

Scum has to stop trying to middle of pack lurk. The site meta will favor town until scum finds a winning strategy that breaks the ability of towns to throw "rock" and win 66 instead of 33 percent of the time outright. Towns would be silly not to keep playing it out.

is there like a better way to do geriatric? like if you hit >X% of the median post count you get a posting timeout or something?

Fgo rules set worked fairly well imo?

5. A game phase is considered "exhausted" if a phase generated more than 60 new pages of posts. At that point, the game will enter "wind down" phase. The page count of the current player phase will be provided in each vote count.
6. During "wind down" each player is allowed a one post, and one additional post per vote on them at the time of the thread lock. (These counts will be mod-provided publicly)
7. Failure to comply with wind down rules will be met with loss of abilities, vote, or both. You REALLY don't want to do this.

I’d 100% play a game under those rules

Penguin and I are tweaking it but yeah.

We intend to use it in our games going forward.

Go read FGO and find out.

In fairness to myself I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have been quite as bad if I hadn't been doing the whole nervous breakdown before surgery and then mood swings on painkillers thing.

But I get your general point.

Throw dancegame on the pile of "scum rolls over" 2020 meta.

[Cabd]

Death's curse was exactly 1/4th... 15 town, 5 scum.

[Cabd]

What would be interesting is comparing these three data points, to the three longest scumwins in a large theme in 2020.

[Cabd]

the onus is on the individual to take pride in their scumgame and play it as close to their towngame. you're only half a mafia player if you're not willing to burn your town meta (or at the very least curtail behaviours as town you can't replicate as scum). i find it hard to respect players who only have a town game but phone it in when scum.

We fixed it lol.

2021 new meta.
