I'd like to offer you my sympathies, because you are right to feel aggrieved. This should *not* have happened in a Normal game. In fact, during setup approval, I specifically asked Jebus what the answer to that question would be, and he explicitly told me otherwise. Bastard modding is *not* a Normal mechanic, and I'm just as upset as you that not only did it wind up in the game, but that it significantly affected the outcome.Javert wrote:My heart is broken.
It is games like this that make me wonder why I bother to put in as much effort as I do. Marking this game as a loss is like a knife to the heart.
The worst part is that I originally assumed that the Masons were not confirmed up until the Masonry said they had explicitly asked the Mod about their status, and then returned to the thread proclaiming that they were all town. Sigh.
Going forwards, I will say that I will being more stringent in approval, to try to make sure that players' expectations for normal games are maintained.
