Night 9: Ultimareda
You were going to target me? You had to die. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to keep up with onslaught on info roles in the game, and therefore suffered a very untimely death because I had to gambit.
So that's the method behind that madness. Ideally, JP and Akane would've both died had PF5 lived one more night.
In general, the only dislike I had was the amount of information roles. It was beyond great to have a built in Role Reveal, because once mass claim started, it was what led to the death of my last two comrades.
All in all, great game, and I'm happy to answer any questions you all had about what the wolves did.
To be honest I targeted AbsolTrainer that night, even though I said I wouldn't JUST because of this reason. I thought with all my mind AT was the last wolf. I was right that he was anti-town, just not a wolf.
As for the game comments, I have decided that my "pushing the envelope" is over. I will continue to comment about certain aspects of the game on any future games I may play, but asking the game-mod for certain comments will be over. I apologize for any game damage it caused.
I want to thank AAM for hosting the game and coming up with the story, flavor in the roles, and everything else.
Game balance: I didn't care for the large amount of power roles. It seemed like everybody was either a priest or a seer. Sure, all the players like having
something to do during the night phase, but having such high power is not the direction I would like. When there are so many power roles, it shows why the wolves have yet to win.
If there were more hidden roles that they must discover, but still have access to (Role: PM me the name of a player and something may/may not happen to them) I think it would have made up for the power roles that are used. This (and other features) is why I really liked AT's Werewolf game "Pokemon Wars". You could even have this built into vanilla roles to make people think that they are doing more than they actually are.
Game moderation: Even with the co-mod, I saw that there was a very big lack of vote updates. If there is a role that can make -x votes to lynch, the mod needs to have a much larger presence in the game. I like the very nice flavor of the updates, but they did lean towards specific roles. This led to a whole lot of early role reveals and people picking it apart. Again, I this could have been avoided if the roles were hidden from the players.
And in the future, if someone is going the post/bump/post/bump etc. game - give a public warning. Show that this behavior is not acceptable. It took a WHOLE lot away from the game. It was the reason why I became more or less inactive and started skimming. At first I tried blaming it on moderation duties/life but to be honest with everybody, it was the constant bumping. There were times when I thought that a public warning was warranted/needed, but it didn't happen.
I may post more on this later, but this is the majority of my thoughts on the game. Again thanks AAM for hosting the game.
