I hated it when I was fake catching up. I kept having to delete posts hating on Wisdom because it would show I was lacking focus lol.

Good job Bell

Thanks again to everyone for playing! I really enjoyed designing this game around your Shakespearean choices and running it, though I did regret some life choices every time the intricate layers of bbcode didn't work!

I also enjoyed every single stab at Elizabethan English that players threw into to the game at random. Having flavor that players like to interact with is *chefs kiss* to me.

One of my intentions with the days where an extra coin could be earned was to encourage a sort of collegial atmosphere that I hoped would make toxicity less likely to happen (though I don't think this player list was likely to go that direction, but you never know), and especially on day 1 would encourage not hyperposting.

It seemed to work as well as, and maybe better than designs that have used posting limits (especially limits on the group as a whole) and restrictions when the limits are exceeded.

I had planned to offer one more coin-earning opportunity on day 5, but by then most players had either collected enough coin to buy their upgrades/remove their downsides, or would do so by the end of that day.

The scum team wound up with way more coins than they could spend due to losing 2 players by the end of day 2, when they also lost the coin steal ability. Town players all had a chance to improve an ability if they didn't die too early.
Amid the pressure of great events, a general principle gives no help.

On the path to becoming yourself, you'll need to choose alignment over validation from others, peace over addictive chaos, and being misunderstood over false acceptance. --TheHolisticPsychologist

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner Pav. The show is called The Cemetery Club and is a comedy about 3 widows and their responses to being alone.
GTKA Skybird!
