Matrix6 is fine as-is imo. The BP strategy improves winrates.
If anything nedds improving, it's quality control on ICs.

This isn't a thread about IC quality control, and that's a project currently being worked on.In post 25, Ircher wrote:Matrix6 is fine as-is imo. The BP strategy improves winrates.

I agree with this. (To be honest I knew it was a weak reason to start with; I just wanted to introduce the name "Backup6". Because it has a Backup and is a backup to Matrix6. It's like irony or something.)In post 24, mhsmith0 wrote:True, but it's IMO less of an unbalancing issue than BP auto claiming and then tracker knows that he's dealing with a doc if there's no BP claim.
Is that actually proven in practice though? I don't keep stats on it because using a strategy is not an easily trackable thing, but I heard someone else is.In post 25, Ircher wrote:The BP strategy improves winrates.

Follow the Cop was fairly balanced. There's precedent to changing the newbie set up when it fails to provide a quality experience for newbies going back to the very start.In post 25, Ircher wrote:Matrix6 is fine as-is imo. The BP strategy improves winrates.

Would ruin town's already-shaky winrate in the BP setups, and newbie setups should probably keep to Normal roles for best education of site meta.In post 35, Lycanfire wrote:make osbp active instead of passive, thoughts
Also the problem is that BP roles are incentivized to claim D1 (and towns are debatably incentivized to push for their claim or no claim), and this change fails to solve that problem.In post 37, Toomai wrote:Would ruin town's already-shaky winrate in the BP setups, and newbie setups should probably keep to Normal roles for best education of site meta.In post 35, Lycanfire wrote:make osbp active instead of passive, thoughts
I've seen this mistake been made often enough by actual good players that it needs a line in the rules specifically refuting itIn post 39, Creature wrote:Wait, Universal Backup?
So if Mafia Roleblocker is lynched then town gets a Town Roleblocker?
Quickly thrown-together example role PM wrote:You are aTown Universal Backup. The first time a town-aligned player who is not a Vanilla Townie dies, you will inherit their role. You will receive the new role PM immediately once the other player has died. You will not receive information about any of that player's previous actions or results. If you die, you will be flipped as "Town Universal Backup" in all circumstances.
this is a meme now rightMatrix-5 Setup
(Designed by Creaure)
This setup came about in a discussion on how to improve Matrix 6. One of the problems that RadiantCowbells discovered was that Matrix-6 can be broken by a series of BP/Not-BP claims. From here, Matrix-5 was born.
