Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 Just a note to avoid criticism: The Anama Priest would have won had Oliver not misidentified her. He tried to join Micklebur, which is invalid and therefore he did not join in time. The Skribbane Addict for some reason only used Skribbane once, despite having a second copy.

Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 I hate being a jerk about the rules like that, but they are clear. The requirement to ID someone was placed in because there was an issue about joining factions and being tricked into it (Fae aside). This prevents this sort of abuse. Otherwise, this was a pretty slow game. I would like your guys thoughts on it. I have several ideas for the merchant roles so the game does not turn into a mad dash of trades at the end.

Unflappable Drayk Marlenny Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Ackrovan, for the love of god, as Domont your job is to identify who the other DLs are (you even get an ability to do so and everything) and not be spreading around your list of enemies. Especially without knowing for certain if the person you are telling this to is an enemy. Really sorry that things didn't go well for you, Doomy. I should've replied to you on time and tell you to get rid of Sarachim And apologies to Sporefrog and Tarson Great job to the rest of you. TM did specially well considering it was his first game.

Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Hmmm... Well, first thoughts is that Shanker seemed a bit screwed. If it wasn't for w-dueck falling asleep at the wheel and Dikiyoba misidentifying someone, he would have lost. You can't really trust him because he could be trying to make you lose. In that respect, his victory condition and his abilities contradict heavily. Also, the Machrone role was rather easy. If it wasn't for most of the questions pertaining to my alliance with Gladwell, which I couldn't answer without blowing my allies' covers, I would have had it at Day 3. Come to think of it, a lot of people were asleep at the wheel this game. Xelgion somehow missed the widely-known bit that I was the Machrone, and bought my line that I was the Fae when asked about my role. w-dueck didn't use Skribbane a second time despite having it in his inventory since Day 3. Marlenny bowed out for a while and got killed. And Ackrovan thought he had a combat role... Other than that, I can't think of anything else.

Well-Actually War Trall Sarachim Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I don't know if I'd call the game slow. We had an active day 1, and an absolutely manic day 2. After that, TM and I had met our win condition, so things naturally slowed down. I'd say there was as much action as usual for me, just clustered at the beginning. I like the five-day length. The deadline actually mattered this time. On the downside, the limited time caused several people to lose on a technicality. That's too bad, but probably avoidable in the future without any major rule changes. Marlenny, Doom Warrior: you should have killed me when you had the chance!

Magnificent Ornk Donald Hebb Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Really, Ackrovan singlehandedly wrecked what could have been a decent struggle. I would have lost my muscle, and I'd have been forced to aid the DLs against the Anama. Seriously, Ackrovan. Don't spill out all the info without contacting at least one ally who's in the know. If you had just waited, you wouldn't have gotten all of your allies killed. Honestly, I would be surprised if people thought I was the Addict, given that the real addict would have contacted people looking for drugs, and anyone he contacted would have known I was a fraud.

Well-Actually War Trall Sarachim Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I think Nioca's point, which I agree with, was that as Shanker Creator had very little control over his own destiny, and his win depended almost entirely on luck. No other players have much incentive to try to keep someone alive and make them lose; if you need someone to lose, chances are your best bet is to kill them. Furthermore, Shanker doesn't care who loses as long as someone does, so it's hard to trust her. For these reasons, her info-gathering ability is not very useful, since it only helps if she cooperates extensively with others, and the role is ill-suited to that. I'd suggest replacing her current ability with one more directly related to her goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody wz. As Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Well, I told Dikiyoba that Ash was the priest because that's what my faction informed me. Admittedly, I was working somewhat outside my faction's endorsement, so maybe we all could have coordinated more. My job was pretty easy. None of my enemies made it into this round, and I was one of Gladwell's targets so I had a built in support network. It's pretty easy for Oliver and Strine to work together, I think, if they can identify each other; one needs lots of items, and the other needs to make lots of items. I thought TM and Sarachim played Gladwell/Servant very well. In particular, for TM to pose as the skribbane addict initially was a good way to try to locate his target Strine. I didn't get the impression that Shanker was very effective this round, but maybe I just didn't see what was going on behind the scenes. EDIT: Others have commented on Shanker's situation better than I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall The Creator Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 It was about the only thing of signifgance I did in the entire game. No one trusted me, and without the warding ability I had nothing to offer to anyone. Being able to determine if two players were enemies might have helped if I actually had some way of stopping them from killing each other. Being difficult to kill did save me from being poisoned, but I would have much prefered a more proactive ability. Alternately, changing the victory condition so that it was more about saving lives, rather than thwarting goals could be good too, but I'm not entirely sure how to do that in a balanced way. Perhaps the Shanker should need to have done some task for each Player dead at the end of the game. (accumulate gold? prevent 1 death for every 2 kills?)

This is a good idea. I will think about it. What I'm thinking is to give Shanker five random roles (perhaps not entirely to make it interesting) to keep alive. For each that is dead, she needs an artifact at the end of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Tarson Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 My role as pure spirit was weak. I had no good powers and I had to take down the darksiders. The few allies I managed to find wernt very strong either. My immunity to the wand of death would have been helpful if anyone felt the need to waste one of the games most powerful objects on me.
