@Cerberus v666 , I in no way intended to blame you at all in my post. I understand you did the best you could; with the information or lack thereof; which you were given. Tbf, I think the main problem with your role; was that it was too broad in scope. You really have nothing to apologize for; as you were kind’ve put into a no-win situation as I see it. Wtf were you supposed to do really? You were put into a situation that can both help town, by blocking recruitments and simultaneously hurt town by also blocking immunizations. What the hell were you supposed to do? That’s why I’m saying that your role was too broad in scope and Drealmerz, accusing you of “playing against your wincon”, is bullshit, pretty much. What should have happened instead was for you to be able to only block recruitments not immunizations and have some restrictions with that role; so you have to chose your recruitment blocks carefully and then; Drealmerz should have informed us immediately the next game phase whether or not; a particular immunization was succesful or not.

In post 2813, Mathdino wrote:I think the lesson here is not to join cult games
I disagree. Cult games can be fun, but they NEED to be open setups. If you don't know the rules AND are playing in a game with changing affiliations there is just too much that can go wrong. So the players need to know the rules. Then they play the unfamiliar setting in a meaningful way. Combining the difficulties of a cult setting with the difficulties of a closed setup just multiplies those difficulties. Taking away the feedback (no information about successes or failures) was the last nail in the coffin of this, in concept, rather nice game.

The sad part is that Drealmerz trashes us, calls us “stupid” and refuses to listen to any advice. *shrug*

she should be sharing the information she got with everyone, but instead is ignoring that she knows it

and she isn't paying attention to know that the immunize vote didn't go through or that her vote was still on venmar when things resumed.

infuriating
Because - like (most everyone in this game) - maybe I really AM in the dark? How is this MY responsibility? This was my first game on this site ffs! :roll:

Did I?

If I did I’m sure I was probbly just misremembering my target. This far took way too long. I remember being co fused once and double checking who my target was.

In post 2816, Varsoon 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.
My gripe is not with the setup. It was a cool game idea and a great theme. Implementation could have been better but he will learn.

My gripe is with Dreal calling us, his players, idiots. With getting mad at us for not enjoying it instead of trying to learn from it.

I am swearing off his games because he is not a great moderator to his players.

That is the difference Varsoon.

Varsoon said it best I think.

I might be in a different boat being a cult leader but I liked the setup for the most part. I can see from a non-leader point of view this game being kinda difficult. Before recruitment you COULD (if you wanted to) try and discourage your recruitment, but in the back of your mind I wouldn't want to do too much in case you do get recruited. It's almost like playing to 2 wincons. Once recruited, if you have no abilities... then what? Probably lurk out, pretended to be a little town to try and convince the other team to recruit you I guess.

As far as my play is concerned, Vecna kept pushing the idea of Cult PT's, so I rolled with it. In the beginning I actually thought he was part of the cult and he knew there were no PT's and was fishing for the other cult members. I replaced in having 1 member under me and I tried my best, but ultimately I would have lost. I really thought Screen was the other cult leader and I tried to kill him (my one and only vig) which only made me farther behind in recruits. I recruited chick hoping they were lying about the amount of vigs they had... but no such luck!

Reading the spectator chat made me realize the game was designed in a way where we are supposed to ask questions to the mod in order to have a better understanding of how everything worked. I didn't realize that. It's an interesting concept, a game that can be slowly figured out by asking the mod setup/role speculation/questions, but I wasn't aware that this was encouraged, (usually this is discouraged) Also it didn't help that I've only seen the movie once, 20+ years ago, and I think it was just on in the background. I don't remember much of it.

TLDR: thanks for the game

I probably should have. I can't remember why I didn't. Obviously, I wasn't going to after my theory because I was certain you'd either have been recruited already or had a recruit request placed on you at the start of the day.

MathBlade replaced CheekyTeeky who I recruited though?

Unless that was before I recruited them? It's hard to keep track in this game.

Nah I was cult since my first post.

Just had nothing to do and no way to help mutant. So I just tried to make mutant look town.

If I was outed cult it really never mattered.

Oh, yes, absolutely, the way that Drealmerz thinks of and interacts with his players needs to change--that's part of what I mean when I say that I hope he grows from the criticism given here.

It’s a fun read. Drealmerz has about 80% of the posts in there and 70% of those; are him slamming individual players for their gameplay. Riveting stuff. ;)
