Ambitious idea.
I think it needs another trial run - w/ the no deadlines mechanic - to see if that is what caused this to flop or not.
It was a lot shorter than I was expecting it to be.
LyLo obviously presented a problem for the town. Ell could switch between her puppet accounts before town had a chance to react and then push the ML through, ensuring her win. This might be something that needs to be addressed in the future.- Mathdino

town was outclassed, yeah
the setup was balanced but lack of meta really fucks things up
and ellibereth never slipped hard enough for the "one guy running 2 accounts" thing to become a liability
i think this could be run as a mini, or even an open, with different mechanics/setup
replacements should definitely be an option imo- AnonymousGhost

Maybe have reserve replacements? Like... people who've created a hidden alt and secretly signed up via PM that the Mod can pull from if needed.- LakeoftheWoods

Also Ellibereth lurking out completely on one account was a shitty tactic and an abuse of the mechanic.
i think even the mod would disagree with you on that one so- Mathdino

no deadlines wasn't the issue, town can do just fine without deadlinesIn post 378, AnonymousGhost wrote:Ambitious idea.

no force replacements was the major problem
people actually posting would likely have won it
also the issue you raise with lylo is exactly the same with 2 scum with daytalk organising a quickhammer
so i guess you could say that if someone who isn't shit at scheming was in control of the accounts, that's effectively a buff on par with mafia daytalk
so in that sense you could say this was slightly scumsided?- Something_Smart

the problem with canvassing for interest in a second setup is that it's revealing as to who the people behind the alts are.
i still think this idea had promise – certainly i messed it up this time, but i think the best plan would be to leave it for a while and come back to it sometime later.
in the future i will make some allowance for replacements so that any unfortunate situations that pop up can be dealt with.- Mathdino

the issue here is if you replace one scum, you have to replace the entire scumteam, and that's basically gg for the scumteamIn post 380, AnonymousGhost wrote:aybe have reserve replacements? Like... people who've created a hidden alt and secretly signed up via PM that the Mod can pull from if needed.
so one person replacing out publicly basically confirms them as town
replacements would definitely have to be secret, and the mod would have to have the credentials for all the accounts
this was pretty solid, i guessed basically every MU/MS player for your identityIn post 381, LakeoftheWoods wrote:having to say village and wolf was painful
settled on alisae, or just mulch being good at being an alt
disagree with both of youIn post 384, LakeoftheWoods wrote:

the fact that lurking out was allowed as a mechanic was itself the issue- AnonymousGhost

Agreed on the first, now that I think about it.In post 385, Mathdino wrote:no deadlines wasn't the issue, town can do just fine without deadlines

Strong yes on the second.
Apathy was a thing that hampered this IIRC.- LakeoftheWoods

Alternatively... and I can't believe I'm suggesting this awful idea... you could create a time rift between the scum replacements.In post 388, Mathdino wrote:the issue here is if you replace one scum, you have to replace the entire scumteam, and that's basically gg for the scumteam

That's horrible. Forget I said anything.- Mathdino

yeah this was basically optimal play at that pointIn post 390, LakeoftheWoods wrote:I mean yeah I agree
but once its allowed I'm doing it, especially if there are town lurking too.
don't hate the player hate the game
fantastic concept but needs a lot of tweaking- LakeoftheWoods
