My main goal
is to blow up and act like I don't know nobody HYAH HYAH HYAH HYAH
six years ago was to prove cults could be shown as balanced and, though not normalized, at least accepted as a potential for a different kind of challenge.

Pedit: that's absolutely fair and, when I posted the flip, I didn't realize I fucked up NAR until several days afterward. Sorry TSE. </3

I still love all of you even if we agree to disagree.
I think if I modded a 41 player game and told my playerlist that it would not be a geriatric game, and then 50 pages in on day 1 within the first 3 hours, told my playerlist “jokes on you, we’re using a geriatric ruleset now. For the rest of the game. Because I said so.” I would probably lose all of my friends. I probably wouldn’t be able to leave my apartment safely because there would be a scummer outside of my house waiting to make me swim with the fishes.

The geriatric ruleset wasn't even applied and Creature, who died like in D2, is still the player that posted the most Ali.

Like I don’t get how someone can join a 40 player game and not expect it to be filled to the brim with spam.

I'd rather move on, thanks.

If anybody has a qualm with the release of any PT they were a part of do speak up within the next couple of days by in-thread post, PT post, or PM. I won't be releasing them prior to that or approval from all players involved in said PT (whichever is sooner). Dead PT obviously being exempt from this rule.

Thanks.

I agree with you entirely on the fiesta part, but it doesn't make sense to me that if more people is playing, your postcount increases. You play along with 12 other players, you post 50 posts a day; you play along with 39 other players, you post 500 posts a day? That doesn't add up to me, that kind of play is annoying.

+1 I wish I didn't have so much RL. This game deserved better from me.

Ohh damn. I didn't consider the possibility of you taking zora's hated condition in addition to the RB power.

It's probably best I didn't notice though, as I likely would have mentioned it to the group.

This was great. I’m wildly impressed to see a 40-player game run so smoothly.

Please post role PMs or full setup information so I know what to nominate you for!

I consider it to have been fun-ish but thrice cursed.

Culted, really? (that's on DEB not the mod)
Flavor name Princess Peach in a D&D game, really?

I'm not sure how to feel about team naming.

There’s a lot of room in a 40P for difficult-to-balance mechanics.

Princess Peach, though...I’m with you there

God, I had so much fun with this game. But man, I was wishing all game that someone had culted me so that these galaxy brain plays y'all thought i was doing, i could actually *be* doing. It was incredibly easy to get bogged down by everything happening but man, this was great. Thanks all for giving me a game I actually had a good fun time in, it's been a hot minute.

Both Princess Peach and Grog Strongjaw were flavor reference connections to the first iteration of Mainstream Mafia. For that game I used nothing but popular media as the flavor for the game. What's more popular in D&D than Critical Role? And who doesn't love Princess Peach!?

:lol:

Totally fair role point re: negative utility; however, with such a massive town and therefore enormous power, in my opinion (then and now) negative utility roles are a necessity for balance.

Beloved Princess, Conditional PGO, PBO, Lovers, Sleepwalker, and Parasite were all great for that.
