To elaborate on the bit about vig shots being terrible design: Yes. I'm aware. You should have realized from that post that I didn't expect much in the way of good design from this game.GTK a me, currently live, this may be your only chance!

Also, fun fact for you NSG:
I'm pretty sure drealmerz only wrote this because I tried to recruit you pre-game (after I had read my role PM I wanted to recruit as fast as possible and didn't realise the game hadn't started yet) but that didn't count and I decided against recruiting you only after inquiring about PTs finding that I don't get one with my cultists.In post 2, drealmerz7 wrote:- be aware that once you submit an action, there is no taking it backI mostly just lurk now.- brassherald

Rocky Horror and Frank'N'Furter were the cult leaders, based on the submitted actions vs who was assigned each role. However, Rocky Horror does not have his recruit ability, or his kill, listed in the image shared.GTK a me, currently live, this may be your only chance!

True. I just finished a game, where the mod was really hands on. After d1, that game had started to tank; due to people being unhappy with the SOD/EOD phases, the lack of a maj, and inactivity, So being proactive, he requested everyone pm him; if they wanted to change that. Things eventually got back on track, because even the VTs could smell the flavour in that game, and it wound up being one of the funnest games I’ve ever played. Of course, we always had a pretty good idea what was going on, and every player felt they had agency. A mod needs to listen to his/her players and help them to really understand their wincon and some idea, of the direction needed to acheive it. I think the idea (Rocky Horror Cult) was great in concept but ineffectively executed.In post 2780, Cerberus v666 wrote:

There was another game, which I wasn’t a part of where people really pretty much beat up on the mod. I felt really bad for him, because he did his best and handled the overwhelming chorus of dissatisfaction with class and a willingness to learn from his mistakes. I know D worked really hard on the concept of this game, but he needs to listen to the players; so he can hopefully learn from his mistake and fix any future design flaws in his games. The fact that he simply insults us and refuses to take any responsibility for the game’s execution; is really sad, for both him and all of the players.**********We just need to tread carefully because if you slip up around her as scum she notices and will tear your spine out and slap you to death with it.

Thanks for that. I was really excited for this game too but the worst part is his unnecessarily rude and dismissive reaction to all of the players who invested their time and energy in a game that was going nowhere. We deserve far better than to be mistreated this way, and the mod totally owes all of us an apology. I know, unless he does; I won’t be signing up for any more of his games. The #1 most important thing a mod needs to do; is to have respect for the people who sign up for and invest their time in their games. Ironically, in comparison to the players’ reaction to the failed game I referenced in my previous post; the players in this game behaved very respectfully, I think; so it makes D’s reaction, even more unwarrented and over the top.In post 2810, Cerberus v666 wrote:In post 2809, Nancy Drew 39 wrote:

Awhile back, one of my first interactions on-site with drealmerz included him talking up both his skills at playing the game as well as his ideas for setups.
I recall a deal of frustration at his hubris, but I ended up pocketing that. After all, if drealmerz could prove to be a really great player and moderator, that'd be a boon to the site.
While there are those of you who are saying they've sworn off ever signing up for something Drealmerz runs again, I'm of the mind that I'll sign up for anything he mods.
It's not because I've liked any of his games. Here and in Maplewood Village, there were so many critical parts of the game design and moderation that I fundamentally disagree with.
It's because I want drealmerz to grow into a great moderator.
It's for that reason that I hope Drealmerz is able to take the criticisms levied here and work forward into making an even better game in the future.- Cerberus v666

For reals though, conceptually all of Drealmerz games are pretty fucking cool, but (as he says in his PT) he has an obsession with keeping people uninformed about things, and expects them to enjoy not having any idea of what's going on.

I agree with everything you’ve said here; that was my main gripe with it. It was frustrating as hell, not to find out if our immunizations were successful or not and having to waste our time; trying to immunize people who can’t be; either because they were jailkept or recruited. I also agree with you about the PAUSE part of the game. Either lock the thread or gives us some RH flavour-related adventures or something to do; other than just make fluff posts. This game is kind of equivalent to playing regular Mafia and either never finding out if a lynch was sucessful or what the flip is.In post 2817, Cerberus v666 wrote:

*shrug* That's a pretty fundamental flaw to have in your game design philosophy.Each player needs to have BOTH information and agency, in order to feel that they’re not wasting their time and be invested in the game.Also, one of the reasons I signed up was for the flavour and I wound up feeling cheated by how little it impacted the game - if at all.
On the plus side, voting to immunize as opposed to voting to lynch; was a cool concept. That made the game, seem a lot less cutthroat than regular Mafia.**********We just need to tread carefully because if you slip up around her as scum she notices and will tear your spine out and slap you to death with it.

That's exactly why I hope that Drealmerz grows from this experience; there's a lot of really great ideas here.
First of all, I hope that he continues to make games.
Then I hope that he takes some of the common critiques here and from Maplewood to heart.
And then I hope he moves forward and makes a game that's exciting and unique.- Cerberus v666

@nancy: I'm really sorry about the jailkeeping. Drealmerz even, in the PT, mentioned me jailkeeping you immediately prior to you being immunized and thought it was me playing against win con...when no, it was just that nowhere in his ruleset did he say that the immunization functions as a normal action for purposes of jailkeep like effects...
I mean, from early on it should have been clear that I thought I could keep people who were probable immunization targets from being vulnerable to a last second cult recruit, and *nobody* else even considered that wasn't a reasonable way to play things(or at least, they didn't mention it).
Obviously, that's my bad for not asking that particular question(especially because I'm the sort of person who always asks a fuckton of questions), but it does show how unintuitive that concept was that nobody actually brought up the idea that my line of play might end up hurting us rather than helping us.GTK a me, currently live, this may be your only chance!
