keep in mind that most people have no clue how to balance games and think that super scumsided games are 'fair'

On the one hand, the gachapon's were only useless because of bad luck (cakez inadvertently blocking giga), and the roleblock going to dunn was a forced kill or else it would have been effectively an investigation. I think they were powerful for the town.

On the other, we had no investigative power besides the gachapon. We just bet on giga and were right, but if a scum had managed to get in that position instead (if abr doesn't get banned, maybe) it could have broken very differently.

my only concern is

how could have scum won this specific game?

they were basically forced to lynch dunnstral before allowing any scum lynch to occur to prevent an auto win scenario like ours, right?

like after a goon flipped with a fakeclaim there was no real justification for a vedith or me scumread, and suzune's claim worked itself out.

I don't understand the arghument for flavour confirming anyone as town.

Oh, man, I was actually good this game, maybe?

Anyway, great game--enjoyed playing and would be excited to see a sequel game run/built by the same mod crew.

Sorry Fitz, I tried. RL is starting to get bad here.

Flavor (in the case of Dunnstral, me, and Vedith) and mechanics being tied together for some roles showed that those slots didnt have fakeclaims. All of the flipped scum used a fakeclaim. Doesnt really make sense for one scum to realize a fakeclaim isnt needed and not tell their partners at the point where ppl massclaimed flavor

hey, have some more private topics:

viewtopic.php?f=90&t=71935 -- spider neighborhood
viewtopic.php?f=90&t=71934 -- mafia thread
viewtopic.php?f=90&t=72070 -- dead thread

also I just retconned a joke that I meant to include into post 1929!

I was a little worried that ABR requesting replacement would make his slot look worse (which is bad, because ideally that sort of thing shouldn't factor into the game), but luckily I didn't specify

why

he was being replaced, and he got a 1-month game ban a few hours later, so I was hopeful that people would just think I was extremely prescient.

It did make it worse but in a way I don't think you could have anticipated--part of my read was that Titus so clearly didn't *like* abr, I didn't think he would have dumped on him so much if he were replacing into town.

Bleh.

No worries.

Not sure if this was a .ore difficult set up for scum or not. ABR certainly did. Seemed roles factored into a lot of town reads and poe going towards scum.

Being out of the country a week didn't help my situation.

Good game town.
Thanks for modding mod.
