This is actually a really cool idea! I think it would work better than a hydra type game and help newbies in a good way!In post 12, Xalxe wrote:Seen this done; I think it could be..interesting? As long as people were genuinely interested in both teaching & playing the game. Tribe of newbies, tribe of mentors, allow crosstalk across pairs and you have an interesting iteration on BvW.
I didn't realize there was a newbie guide (literally just bookmarked it now, thanks for the link ), but that probably would have helped a lot in preparing for my first game! I honestly thought I was doing a good job, but I was not even close to having enough conversation and thought playing to my character would increase anonymity (mostly due to my rather distinct playstyle) and it was a big reason I got knocked out so quickly.
I think a feedback form is always a good idea, and sure it's optional, but with the commitment LSGs demands, you will probably get a much higher answer rate than in Mafia games!
I went into the game somewhat knowing what I had stepped into, but having no real clue what to do once there. I talked about maybe joining at Kingsmeet and did when I got asked if I was interested, but I still really didn't know what to do. Since the games are on a different platform, I assume there isn't really a way for newbies to read a game (and it would be pretty confusing if not live-following anyway, plus no PM logs), so I don't know how much this really can be improved, other than a thread for those interested in the game to talk about the game among themselves and with veterans, and the Newbie Guide (which I'm going to read before the next game I play).
I think I rambled but oh well...
