Polantaris Wrote:The only reason you didn't kill me was because I spent the first two nights defending myself.

I made two massive mistakes this game.
The first was simply being too inactive. I simply didn't have the time to commit early on, and as a result it caused the second mistake.

I died protecting Holypie. I didn't catch the explosion crumbs at all because of my semi-inactivity, and when he gave all the stuff about his power being activated the next day, I didn't connect it to a death activation. By the flavor I received I am almost 100% positive that it was TheBirds that tried to kill him.



Town was honestly a MASSIVE mess this game. No one really had any idea what they were doing, and there was way too much meta-gaming going on. Myself included.



My complaints about the game:

Simple.

I think everyone in the Discussion thread started talking about the game way too much before the game ended. We need to stop doing that, especially the moderator. Even I was getting a little bad about it.

Power descriptions seemed to have been way too cryptic. I remember I had to ask for details about my ability, and I know that I was not the only one (VerrKol couldn't even figure out what his was about).

As others have mentioned, some powers seemed WAY too powerful. Some powers seemed to be RIDICULOUSLY powerful, while others were meh at best. For example, I considered my power powerful in the Digital Mafia game, and Simple's version of it this game was 10x as powerful. My power this game was meh at best, in my opinion. Yeah, it might have had a chance to mix well with other defenders, but that requires a lot of trust and also a lot of prior planning, which is nearly impossible in a mafia game, especially without letting the mafia know. Plus there's the fact where I take whatever was going to happen to whoever I protected...which was likely going to be death.

As I think Holypie mentioned in the Discussion threads, aren't roles supposed to be random?

Luv was so insanely suspicious. Every day after I died I was basically yelling at my screen when I read the posts: "LUV AND THEBIRDS!" Granted, I was wrong about TheBirds, but considering my death PM was about getting nuked by a giant laser who can blame me? Luv was just so obvious though, it made me regret protecting Holypie even more than the fact that he had a death activation that I ruined.

Holypie Wrote:Maybe TheBirds nuked you instead of me? Actually TheBirds nuking me to trigger a kill would be pretty pointless.

PM Wrote:You roll over and place yourself in front of Holypie, ready to protect him from any incoming attacks. The air starts rumbling, and you see a light in the distance quickly approaching. Before you can react, you are hit by a massive laser. You hold on as long as you can, valiantly defending Holypie. Just as the laser ends you feel yourself slip away and return down below. It looks like your time has come to an end.

It was definitely aimed at you.

I would like to [Thunder] Hypermug.


​Thanks.

You succesfully electrocute Hypermug.

I would like to [Thunder] Words.

Thanks.

You are able to fire off a thunder and score a direct hit on Words. He slowly starts fading away while you leave.

Niernen Wrote:

LuvDWayULie Wrote:Dear Niernen,

I would like to [Thunder] xBTAx.

Thanks.

You fire off your Thunder at xBTAx and watch as it connects. It looks like it was a super effective hit, not that it mattered either way, and xBTAx starts to fade away.

I wish to [Thunder] ChaoticCJ.

If there are any changes to the target, my teammates will PM you the changes. I'm going to sleep already

Thanks.

You come upon ChatoicCJ, it seems like he is wishing for the well being of others. Without giving him a moments notice, you blast him with a full power thunderbolt, knocking the unfortunate victim out and sending him back to where he came from.

Niernen Wrote:Summoning a large thunder cloud, you let off a massive thunderbolt at Polantaris. After the smoke clears, you are startled to see he is completely unharmed, and dash off before anyone can investigate.

HE MUST BE GROUND TYPE!

Type effectiveness would not stop the mafia kill.

Also how does everyone feel about another game? I'm ready to host but I'm not sure if people are burnt out or are busy due to school starting. It'll be a smaller, less crazy game but still with a few interesting twists. I'm allowed to have my fun too.

(Also don't make neutral survival roles that really should just be town roles)

Holypie Wrote:I'm thinking like 16 tops with much more toned down roles. I think I balanced it decently too, but I guess you can't really know for sure until it plays out.

Holypie Wrote:OH MY GOD I JUST REALIZED THAT MAFIA COULDN'T HAVE WON! Niernen; it was Meta and I left alive, and the mafia can't win if they don't kill all the town right? So he has to kill me, but then I kill him back. Therefore, depending on how you parse the win conditions, either town and mafia both win because both factions have been completely eliminated, or nobody wins because nobody is left alive. BOOM VOLTORB WINS AGAIN MUTUALLY ASSURED DESTRUCTION HAHAHA.

MasPan Wrote:Actually, mafia typically has a win condition regarding the town being incapable of voting them off. If anything it'd be a stalemate during the day, and Meta could still afaik use Substitute on himself (if memory serves he was bs'ing the HP factor of it entirely) to prevent a backlash at night. So while there was basically no possible win condition for you, he had several.

Niernen Wrote:You are Voltorb. Your instability causes you Self-Destruct when you are Judged. After your Judgment, you may choose one player to take down with you. You are sided with the Town and win once all the Mafia have been Judged.

Is Judgement the same as lynching or is it any kill?

Any kill. If you will be killed my the mafia, I will inform you and you may tell me your target. If you are going to be lynched, you can either PM me and I will announce it, or declare you are going to Self Destruct and take player with you before you are lynched. Try not to announce it too early though.

Hmmm, when does my Self Destruct take place? I send the action to you in the middle of the night but does it occur in the morning immediately after I die? Just trying to work out mechanics and whether or not it's a night action that can be blocked.

When you are targeted for a kill, and once I know it can not be stopped, I will send you a PM asking who you would like to take with you. If it is close to the end of the day and you know you will be lynched, you can send me a PM to let me know who you want to take with you. At night I will try to PM you as early as possible. If I can not get a response in time, I will kill whoever killed you at night, or during the day it will be a dud. No skill can stop your self-destruct.
