Mod Thoughts

Between worrying I'd screw up and the times I actually did screw up, running my first homebrew setup was kinda nerve-wracking. I've already said this a few times, but losing both vigs early in the game really made a difference here.

The key concepts for the setup were the Dreaming God, the PRs that were accurate to their respective characters, and the concept "weighted by OPness". Basically, the more OP your faction was, the fewer allies/more enemies you had and the lamer your box was. I also worked to limit the chance that the Dreaming God would be a kingmaker and/or easy pickings. As such, the boxes were marked by clues and the Dreaming God wouldn't even know the results of his actions. I also seeded the safeclaims with Unaffiliated Survivors as a smokescreen to help the Ark blend in better.


If there was anything I'd change about the setup, I'd probably remove Peggi's commute and make that role simply a 1-shot Vanillizer. Maybe also remove the APV from Rinka.

As for an MVP, my vote would go to zorbees , who not only cracked the ARES code and successfully moled our most OP faction, but did so using a character already in the setup as his alias.

Thanks for playing, everyone.
 
mrw i see ARES and ESP roles and then look at my team's roles




real talk good game everyone. i had a lot of fun this game and i think this multifaction did a lot of things well. i particularly liked the moody's role as i thought it did the harmless neutral mechanic really well. i think it would have been okay to give him more agency with regards to the boxes and just tell him which box upgraded who to at least give him more power in determining who to power up. it was just an added pain more than interesting mechanic i thought. i actually think it's ok having moody be a kingmaker? like i think that's acceptable because of the fact that there's the balance between killing moody vs leaving him alive. (btw the box powers look really cool, i wish we could've seen more of them...)

thoughts on the game: our faction was honestly really weak. like if zorbees isn't successful in moling and ESP protect their killer, there's so many kills flying around that who knows what happens and we probably don't get lynch control as earlier as we did. that prob would've opened up the game a lot and led to more fighting around who would get moody etc. our roles sucked as well - info roles were not great, we had a tracker (lol?), a bg that can't protect every night, and our best role is a 1shot lpv/bpv. yeah...i'm not sure why people think we were op at all since we definitely weren't. we just got lucky that the extra kills that really could've hurt us were taken out early. the vanillize was really good though. imagine if we got two shots of that..

ARES/ESP didn't play the best games ever..ARES moreso. made a lot of odd decisions that cost their faction and enabled us to get all their info which was huge. deciding to sub out was kinda lame since i think that's what led to no heroes/MS kill that second to last night which could've made the game interesting?

I think ESP did fine. Leet did well leading. Made the right decisions in terms of interacting with me/ARES. some actions were a little iffy (letting haruno die is one i think..), maybe they could've stabbed me eg night 1 but overall i do think they got unlucky mainly in how they were reading the game (didn't realize the power of our faction was our numbers). but then again ARES did the same so it's not just on them.

survivor safeclaims weren't really useful. fakeclaims weren't really useful with the kill word. i actually told the killword to a couple people on our faction to get claims. texas might've been able to mole more but he got figured out since he decided not to vote with us (plus we checked him). yeah.

thanks for playing everyone. good work heroes/shoutouts to the stealth squad. thanks for hosting knights. join moody's game. peace

Jalmont shade 100%, probably aura too, saw metal sonic's role pm from when knights posted update early, thats why they subbed out. hosts probably could have gone "just pretend u didnt see it, honor system" if there were no subs available but w/e
 
I regarded there being a SECOND update error to be too much. The first one cost my team significantly, because the hosts didn't do the standard: call deadline, THEN double-check, then copy/paste the update from google docs (the entire thing, not just the role PM). As this only caused a problem once, fine. But it happening a second time indicated a complete state of not learning from the mistake. I could swallow an error that hurt my team. But not a not learning from it and preventing further occurrences (Even though the second didn't actually hurt us, since the stealth was pre-deadline)

Anyway, if there's a gross imbalance in numbers, the teams should generally know - and there WAS such an imbalance. Granted, ARES had the strongest roles, but: strong roles, few numbers - isn't that a mafia? So why were we a village?
 
The only reason Ares wasn't a mafia was because Cancerous opened his team up to having the kill word figured out. For all intents and purposes this should have been straight up informed multi.

Wonder how things would have changed, on the day hitmonleet was voted I was available to vote the counterwagon but birkal hadbeen messing with my permissions and I couldn't access my account until 10 minutes after deadline was called
 
sorry yeah i was referring more to AG then shade, shade subbing out was fine since he saw stuff he shouldn't. if AG saw it too then yeah the subs probably should've happened although the whole thing was just really unfortunate timing especially for ESP who needed ARES to collaborate.

idk i just don't think the host errors really were that big of a deal/affected the game that much, if at all. it's more unlucky that texas couldn't vote (although idk we voted pretty close to deadline but meh). that's why i hope that in the future hosts make proactive choices that prevent stealthing such as making votes private. would be interesting enough i feel (of course, if we ever get the numbers to play another multifaction lol).

moody and zorbees made the decision to stealth, not me. it was making me nervous that's for sure though lol.
 
It wasn't a leak. I thought the numbers were different and thought that, given the past cycle, of COURSE there would be a stealth. And I was right. For the wrong reasons, but still right.

killword wasn't supposed to be a factor at all, blame knights for not cracking down on that one

incentivizing the killing of moody was essentially my one idea B)

tl;dr give me credit for all the good stuff and blame knights for all the bad stuff

but nah, it was a really cool design and knights deserves a lot of props for it. well played all
