Chat discussion I had with xofelf regarding rules in my game:


PokerFace (18:41)
Hey elf. you are in charge of the mish mash forum right?
xofelf (18:46)
Hey, yes, yes I am
xofelf (18:46)
what's up?
PokerFace (18:48)
I was wondering if you could give me an unbiased opinion on a rule element in the game I am running
PokerFace (18:48)
in the mish mash forum
PokerFace (18:49)
you got time for me to explain or you busy?
xofelf (18:52)
I totally can do that :)
PokerFace (18:52)
ok this might be a little difficult to explain so if you have any thing you need me to clarify feel free to ask
PokerFace (18:53)
the game in question is
PokerFace (18:53)
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=79291
PokerFace (18:54)
the role pm and game rules say that if you don't send a protect at night, your kill will target yourself.
xofelf (18:55)
okay sure
xofelf (18:55)
I've half read some of these before, but go on
PokerFace (18:55)
There is a player that has not yet sent me role actions. if they don't fix this in and hour, their kill will target themself. that player is currently being protected by 2 other players.
PokerFace (18:55)
an hour*
xofelf (18:57)
okay sure
PokerFace (18:57)
it has been "implied" but not written in the rules that sending no actions will result in the player dying. But looking at the rules and actions it suggests the player should live as there is 1 normal kill targeting them and 2 players protecting them
PokerFace (18:58)
the player in question did pick up their role pm but has not posted in the game out side of the posty /in
xofelf (18:58)
hm
xofelf (18:59)
I think you have to follow the rules as you've written them
xofelf (18:59)
It doesn't say that a non-submission will kill somebody who is being protected
PokerFace (19:00)
yesterday I pmed the player that not giving actions will result in their death. I did that before re-reading the rules today
xofelf (19:00)
did they open the PM yet?
PokerFace (19:00)
the player has not yet picked up that pm
xofelf (19:00)
then you can stealth edit that out entirely
xofelf (19:00)
if they haven't touched it, then it's fine tbh
PokerFace (19:00)
?
xofelf (19:01)
you can edit PMs before people open them, not just delete them
PokerFace (19:01)
that pm went out to 2 players via bcc, one of them did send me their actions, the other didn't stealth edit can't be done
xofelf (19:01)
ahhh
xofelf (19:02)
hmm
PokerFace (19:02)
i did the ? as i was not sure if you meant kill them or not for a second there. forgot to include the detail
xofelf (19:02)
I think they live tonight, but you make a post in game that adds that you have an oversight in your rules that will be effective in future rounds.
xofelf (19:03)
Then it's written down and not just implied
PokerFace (19:04)
you think its fine to do that while the game progresses? I do have a rule that states "00. I reserve the right to edit these rules at any time should something truly unexpected occur." so i guess that would be ok
PokerFace (19:05)
it would be ok to fix it moving forward and let them live for now i guess
xofelf (19:05)
Yep
xofelf (19:05)
Like, adding the rule and having it be applicable right now is a no go
xofelf (19:06)
but having as, oh wait i have forgotten this, so it'll be a future thing, is fine
xofelf (19:06)
happens all the time
PokerFace (19:06)
does that really happen often?
xofelf (19:07)
well a lot of games through Mish Mash aren't the most well modded cuz it's mostly for fun and all, so like, people are pretty chill if a rule needs added later.
xofelf (19:07)
And sometimes there's oversights that happen
PokerFace (19:07)
makes sense.
PokerFace (19:08)
I'm not big on the idea of editing things later. never had to before, but I guess I made rule 00 for some reason
xofelf (19:08)
So i don't think anyone will be particularly bothered or anything, so it's fine :)
xofelf (19:08)
oh for sure
xofelf (19:08)
I get that
xofelf (19:08)
but sometimes circumstances change, and it's all good
PokerFace (19:09)
ok. may I quote this chat window in my private topic for the backstage of my game. you ok with that?
xofelf (19:09)
Oh, sure, that's fine.
PokerFace (19:09)
basically my way of making sure the players understand my actions
xofelf (19:09)
yeah it's fine :)
PokerFace (19:09)
cool

randomidget's kill is going to target himself, but he will survive night 1 given the text above. If this behavior continues to night 2. They will be 100% dead that night

Elsa gets the super kill, but does not need it

Iconeum, Nancy Drew 39, and animorpherv1 are gonna die. They should have access to this thread now

The one thing I hate about this is how one superblock forms, and there's nothing to do about it. If you're not online atnthe right time, game over.

Do you feel that's an issue I should address in future games or no?

Do you think re-introducing the dice powered super kills from an earlier version would help with that?

Maybe I'm alone in that feeling, and I'm not entirely sure how to deal with it - I don't feel like a superkill is going to solve the issue entirely.

Random has not yet sent actions. He also has not picked up recent pms about round 2 start and warning of his need to send actions

He dies tonight if I don't get actions

Currently Brie is getting super charged. Elsa and Irrelephant11 are dying

She had 2 protects, everyone else had 1. If you had protected jumble or elephant we could have had 5 or 6 different people getting super charged.

So you are suggesting I only give out super charge in the event no one dies? If someone dies, I should not care who has most protects?

Interesting idea. Would cut down on possibility of all people die as a result of many single protects. But I think that would have ill effect on people being able to betray others. Super kills force people to protect stack which can make some people in alliances easy to pick off and others require the super charges.

Overall I feel like saying one thing in thread and killing someone completely different is still the optimal play in this game. Be a truly random serial killer for the win. I wish people would go about this strategy in game sometime

I think you want to heal with any alliance you are in

if there is someone that won't kill you or draw a lot of kills like randommidget then you heal them to avoid giving someone the super charge and letting them use it against you

I still think my appeal made perfect sense and the outcome will bear out that everyone should have listened to me
but whatever if everyone but me wants the two Australians to win every time what can I do I guess

By saying one thing I mean saying you are in a alliance and listening to them. Never say you will kill someone in an alliance. Everythng you say should be false at the moment of your betrayal

By the way I did some thinking. I believe removing lynches from the game was a good idea. Meanwhile there may be a way to make the super kill better. We could do things the way Elsa suggested where you only give one out in the event no player is dying, BUT as the game has always had at least one player get killed at night, I don't think that's how we should go about improving it.

Instead what if we rewarded a super kill not only to the player that gets the most protects, BUT also to a player with the most kills from previous nights? Or we could give some different reward to a player with the most successful kills.

Perhaps add some points system to the game where players with most protects and kills get some high score or some prize at the end of the game

OR perhaps if there are multiple players getting super kills which would result in 1/2 the remaining players dying, only give the super kill to the player with the most kills so far.
(We almost had a lot of players with only one protect on them get super kills on night 2. This could be a nice way to prevent that from possibly happening in the future)

What do you guys think?

Actually I think the most appropriate reward for having the most kills in the game is to get a win.

If for some reason you get the most kills, but don't survive to the end, you should win with those that survive. This would reward those that stay true to their cause but get betrayed. And have the potential to reward those that betray, are courageous enough to try go for it all. I like it!

Obviously can't add that mechanic mid game, but its something good for the games future even if I don't get around to testing it in the future.
