...can I smell you?
I just realized that AllThingsPurple had the most posts on D1.

I'm so proud of my mentee.

I'm also super proud of my mentee, who was very nervous last game but really blossomed this one. I think Geno games are just TOO MUCH for new players - there's too many variables to think about. But it was a good trial for him. I don't actually think he needs me this game. I'm mostly being a cheerleader.

It's really interesting to see how new players approached this game and what veterans didn't tell them during day one in the game itself.........
 
Im really impressed with the new players. I think Pooki will step it up a bit next day phase. He told me he was trying to rp his character too much and thats why he wasnt posting a lot, so i think he might come out stronger D2. Some of them im very surprised this is their first game with how comfortable they seem out there haha

I think having someone you can talk to, whether you do or not, AND having a pretty low key, lower volume day... that helps a lot. Lets them get comfortable.
 
I think you are right. It also crosses into territory that was brought up in the season review thread regarding a game therapist. While that isnt what a mentor is there to serve as, having them there is definitely putting new players at ease, like you say. I’m glad we have the mentor program and so many people were willing to help out with it this game :)

Yeah, I'm town
Law of averages would say that at least one of the newcomers has probably rolled scum, so it'll be interesting to see how that runs if that's the case. I think that I mentioned this in my last game, but I've been in a few games with new players in the mafia team (Girlofgotham in Cluedo, Donna in Sneakers and Brian in Mini VI) and they all did well for themselves - GoG and Donna surviving to the end, no less.

(The player that I've always felt sorry for was archreaper93 in Sneakers who subbed in to replace Fat4all - right as the doggo got red-checked by cabot. Of all the times to make a debut, that really couldn't have been more unfortunate.)

Malus had his first game as scum. Hedin and Hagi both rolled scum with me in their first game also. I'm pretty sure all three won and were still alive at the end lol.

Pooki is kind of lone wolfing it so he could just be getting advice from his scum team, but I kind of did the same thing with mentor Swamped in my first game and I was town so I dunno.

The other idea I have is a sort of hydra game but only one person posts (so more like an advisor). I think it would be really really interesting if everyone had someone in their corner they could talk to. What teams could communicate well and handle it and be stronger? which would tank? I want to do all sorts of weird stuff. Maybe over the winter break I can make some strange small games.

Maybe switch which head posts every day phase?

Ambulance and Maol are the only two I have a scum read on. I have no clue who the remaining team could be; no one else has jumped out at me.
 

LaunchpadMcQ

...can I smell you?
If I’m right about Maol, I’d go look at players he’s bounced off of. He didn’t even do a hint of bussing in Transistor and just picked out easy town targets, so his interactions in particular could be pretty telling.

This sounds like a really fun idea.....

Something I'd want to play in but running it could be fun.
Someone made a really good move this night phase :O

EDIT: Actually, THREE players made really good moves :O :O :O
Good for Town or good for Scum? o:

just for the flavor there must be a killing neutral, but SK is unlikely with the no kill night. No dousing so no pyromaniac, I wonder what it could be if there is any
 

Alexem

Yeah, I'm town
So Gorlak is claiming another kind of redirector?
That or there's someone else doing the re-direction. Interesting that Gorlak's certain of it being malus' action in particular that got redirected to him.

This is always the first thing that goes through my mind when there's a night with no kills - not that there's a doctor, blocker or some other role that's stopped the kill, but whether or not scum are racking up some kind of delayed kill, be it arson, poison or otherwise.

TOWNIE ONE LOCKED - MULTI-KILL NOW LIT!

I will be pro-Town Core for the entirety of my life, just to jump in on the current topic and not make Gorlak feel alone in there lol.
I have complicated feelings about town cores that I cannot get into at this time but I will later.

Here is a message from Faddy:

I guess people kind of gather in spec and since I am on the replacement list I can't post there so could you post this in there for visibility please.

In the review thread there was some talk of a post capped game. I would like to run one based on well used mafia setup.

The game has a post cap and people can only be voted out near start and end of day. So you can't kill @Stantastic in his sleep.

I'm looking for a bit of feedback because for me there is no point running a game with restrictions if no one likes them. If you have opinions about this stuff then you can post about it here.

As someone who's paid the price for getting stuck in a tunnel over Maol, that's not a mistake I'll make again in a hurry.

Damn, I left it too late but didn't also didn't want to use it at all.
No point in letting it go to waste if you thought you were on to something, I suppose. If you'd been right about Zipped, then that would have been your chance to hit a scum target that might otherwise have been missed.
 

Hedin

Oops, All Scum!
Staff member
I was between Zipped & Maol and was hoping with getting Zipped and creating a tie it would have made others move to Maol.

Using the Vig was the right call, waiting until the last minute is what doomed you. It was a valiant effort though, you went out swinging
 

Hedin

Oops, All Scum!

No hard feelings, turns out we were both wrong.

sorry for destroying your game

Hey I was the one who killed you out of the blue I should be the one apologizing (sorry!). I realized last night that I was too focused on you and tried to look elsewhere but when it came time for a shot I just defaulted to old reads.

Yep, I debated doing it before I left work but didn't like the idea of doing it and then being gone for 45 minutes. I told TP earlier in the day that I wasn't really sure when to pull the trigger.

Day vigs being likely townie regardless having killed a townie by mistake is counter intuitive, with those powers it's good to claim what you are doing so that townies aren't taken aback by surprise and rage, specially in a game where half the roster are new players or fairly inexperienced.

Man, Hedin, in every game I’ve seen you in, you just can’t catch a break lol i learned my lesson after CP, but folks just find you suspicious immediately for almost nothing :(
 

Hedin

Oops, All Scum!
Staff member
Thanks for that. I was actually laughing at myself because I was going to try things a bit differently thus time and didn't. Oh well, I still had fun.

I'm liking the new players so far, they seem to be holding their own pretty well. Someone is going to really need to step up so Geno, Gorlak, and Maol don't dominate all of the conversation.
 

Hedin

Oops, All Scum!

Hopefully town can put together some pieces today. Salva is an interesting target.
 
Of course not sure if he is telling the truth or not, but still I would admit to having candy if I was on same team (scum faking power). It’s a gamble but i think it would get both an extra day of play.

if I was town, received candy AND used all my shots, I would admit to clear maol, especially since the candy is known from my flip.

Well done! Haha i didnt want a straight up alignment cop in the game due to how the balancing ended up but i did want a variation. A flavor cop so to speak.
But not just that, i wanted a flavor mechanic to influence how the ability functioned but if i said how it worked in your PM, it would be the same thing as you being a straight up alignment cop tbh. Thats great that you took the time to figure it out haha

This is why I mentioned in the game that "It's like this role was made for me", because I love roles like this. It made it tricky to confirm my theory and get the info out there, without really exposing Kyan. Not sure how it will play out but at least I did what I wanted to do.

Yeah, that's a tailor-made role for Salva

I think you did well, it looks like theyre starting to sort stuff out a bit now. Im glad you liked the role :)
I also thought making Sparks a Nexus was like a match made in heaven haha it made so much sense when i saw that roll
 

SalvaPot

YEAH
Salva over Ambulance is understandable, it was the 1st night after a missed kill. If scum did not hit Ambulance N1, they should be worried about protectives moving there. Salva over Gorlak I think is a bit of weird thing. Did Salva bait scum hard that hard with the OH NO COPCOPCOP or is Gorlak just scum - why weren't they weren't afraid of his supposed spooky redirects? Z-Beat I think did not tank the N1 kill, assuming he is what I think he is (and what I think Geno thinks he is).



Yeah right. Do explain.
I think I did bait them hard, I really do.
