brian vs titus was unfortunate
feel like if noddy didnt hammer there, that was a potentially game breaking point but there were probably still too many people writing gypyx off as town there

Wall posts enable scum to hide behind content over conviction and action.In post 1419, unwnd wrote:Wallposts build character if they're done right. I think the thing was walls is that sometimes you can get in a tangent and you end up saying a lot of shit that could've been trimmed down.

Bring back walls
Look, anything town does, scum can counter and use in ways that harm the town. Neighbourhoods are busted, but if scum gets to maximize them, it's over.
Townblocking can lock down a game.... unless scum get to corrupt it.
Wall posts can convince people of a lot of things... but scum can take those and make the game from a 10 page game into a 100 page game and everyone can lean tvt.
what I think people need to staart seeing is that just cause it feels town don't mean it is, and that people need to be willing to compromise more on votes early to test players who have a lot of charisma.
It's the old Glork test. People used to give glork like... one day to find a bunch of scum and have his pick of who should die.
And if he failed, they'd kill him. Not everyone needs THAT level of burdened proficency, but it helps not turn the game into a stew of 10000000 posts that no one wants to read.
Also, rest in peace Glork. =(Yes my Lord, but questions are dangerous, for they have answers.

I think role crumbing is bad, but I think softing is fine?In post 1476, unwnd wrote:I've never crumbed my role in my entire life
Crumbs were always bad, and also I'm surprised scum have stopped fake crumbing too?
Like I think if you have no good reason to be hinting your role, don't.
if you DO, like weak doctor, or a result... go for it right?Yes my Lord, but questions are dangerous, for they have answers.

Yeah I'm very aware of this and have been apart of it, even done this to same effect. It's more engaging to me though personally, and I think basically everything requires balance. I don't wanna 10 walls on one page but I want people to have theIn post 1480, Lady Lambdadelta wrote:

The interaction Cabd and I had Day 1.
Cabd is all in on sir cakez. I'm squinting at him and being like "Are you really town".
I go to Cabd and I say "Cabd, if Cakez flips green, I'm killing you tomorrow. We good with that?"
Cabd says yep, I vote Cakez, all remaining resistance breaks, Cakez flips red.
That shit is FINE. If Cakez had been green I'd have killed cabd you believe me.
And it is game relative, you shouldn't always kill him if he does look more town but it's worth doing a lot of times to keep him honest.
It also displays a town habit that is lost in these fucking times, and that's humility.
I let my vote be controlled by Cabd on Day 1on the caveat if he was wrong I could kill him because I was sus of cabd.
Day 2 comes around and I'm sheeping Cabd because why the fuck not. He's got a lock on the game better than mine and if he ends up wrong for a bit and doesn't get night killed I can kill him. I can just lay low, be a townie observing shit, come online if I need to and if I don't... we will win eventually.

They were neg-utility roles. We wanted there to be a counterpart to all the roles that wanted to invert. Thought there could be an interesting situation if the neighbors are being told to invert but they don't want to.In post 1489, Cabd wrote:So what actually was the point of telling the neighbors that they would be lovers in the same time zone?

That's the caveat. I was expecting that people would be discrete and try to get turnstiled without just being "BTW GUYS I HAVE PR IF YOU YEET ME"In post 1494, Krazy wrote:I think designing a setup where power roles need to be activated by public consensus is likely to be a setup where a lot of claims happen early

I thing that it was fairly apparent to most people that if someone was trying to turnstile early game they had a pr tho
I'm not sure how easy/possible it would have been to get turnstiled without telegraphing that
People without a pr didnt have much of an incentive to turnstile. people with a pr didShowHiatus once more.
