In post 264, Not Known 15 wrote:Sorry, but this game was not only horribly swingy, it was also clearly bastard. The mod did not do their job properly:
There was an extremely swingy minigame: It could result in the removal of all mafia(which it did) or in an extra town death.
With a Day 1 mislynch and the extra town death:
Day 2 possibly:3v2v1. That should not happen. Worse, with a Night 1 vig against the reflector: 2v2v1. The town should not, ever, be held hostage by Day 1 and night actions to lose. WITH THE FAKE KILL EVEN 1v2v1(with one revive next day)

Let me go through this part by part. Because yes, the setup was a bit too much, But this happens often with Upicks.

Anyhow it is very difficult for this situation to happen as the town had ways to not have the happen, the only way for it to happen is for the roles to use that in the wrong time and the wrong way.

The entire "mini game" aspect required everyone to participate from both town and mafia side to work at it, If the town players decided its not worth the risk or the mafia decided not to try to work on it then its invalidated, Anyhow It was a bit over the top of a concept and I might work on making a few changes on it. But I wouldn't consider that part really bastard. Moving on:

reflector is just a fancy name for a modified PGO which is not bastard

In post 264, Not Known 15 wrote:It punished the town and the mafia for normally correct night actions. A bomb or PGO punishes Mafia and vigs, too... but they at least get rid of the enemy as a 1v1(a trade). A mafia PGO exposes themselves when breadcrumbs exist. Here the normally correct play resulted in a selfkill and nothing else!
The vig shot scum, and that's why town lost. Does this sound like a good thing?
If mafia ever shot the competing scum that would make them unable to win without the help of the town. Does that all sound like non-bastard?

both the town and the scum had abilities which disable that effect, Additionally I'd say the reflector role is UNDERPOWERED as you have a third-party which basically has no nightkill. Infact the town would've lost much earlier if the 3rd party had a nightkill there.

Anyhow, I understand your frustration and I see that the setup had some issues, But overall Its not as bad as you descriped imo.

Any plus, Micros are very swingy by nature, I've seen micros end in 1 day or 2, This game just ended up much longer, And imo the inactivity of the game is one part of what killed it. (Imagine trying to find a crumb from the "minigame" in 50 pages without making it obvious)

The setup was swingy, Unbalanced maybe. But it did not cross the bastard line.

In that case, Today I learned. Haven't really read anything about it in the wiki before.
