I think it’s fine. I do think we should get a policy in place for replacements though.


Agreed. I lost Elo in one game because I played in two slots. One slot was town and the other mafia. My elo got dinged because town, my original team, lost. Honestly if that’s the case then when I slide in from town to mafia then what’s the point in playing to the new mafia win condition? Elo would just encourage me to out the entire team and sabotage the mafia team.

Bastard games

Kohai · a year ago

Over the past few games several mechanics would have been deemed bastard on sites like MS and MU. The question I want to propose is whether or not a game mod should warn players in advanced if bastard mechanics exist. Mechanics include:

  1. Alignment changing roles like cults or recruiters
  2. Games where the moderator lies to people in their role PMs
  3. Games where moderators give fake flips
  4. Games where scum team can edit a flip PM to throw off town

Many of these elements can be fun to play with, but not all players want to play in games with bastard mechanics.

On DebateCraft how should moderators inform players of bastard mechanics?

I’ll also point out that I was right to call Luna’s reaction to my vote on Thoth a bus / distancing

Tir actually was scum, which is what I started thinking after I found out we were on opposite sides in the end. Also, I was trying really hard to be as townie as possible and hope to kill both myself and the recruiter

Kohai

Hey all! I am one of the reviewers of the game and will be backup modding. Looking forward to this one

Post 250 is important:


I just had a thought that I want to share while I'm on, since I might not be active again until evening. I have a guess at what (one of?) the anti-claim mechanic(s) is, and call it tinfoil modpsyche if you want. It's nearly confirmed, maybe hard-confirmed if I forgot something, that scum have can recruit, details of recruitment ability unknown. Mikal said he could determine which characters can or cannot be recruited and that the split would be hard to find even with Googling unless you had played the game, claims of which I was suspicious of yesterday but trust now that I townlock Mikal. If I were scum, my top concern would be hunting a recruit target, and I think you would all agree with this. Rex knew that whoever rolled scum would likely not be a lore-lord and would have no way of knowing whether or not a character can be recruited. My guess is that the anti-claim mechanic lets scum check your recruitability if they know certain information about your character, possibly with a full Rolecop, possibly yes/no, possibly not quite either of those two. It seems hard enough anti-claim to, "allow scum to use their roles to much greater effect", but soft enough that Rex might use it despite his rumored distaste for anti-claim.


I correctly called this out as TMI.

Kohai

Yeah. I’d rather have him confirmed town than him get policied due to not being active.

Kohai

I think wylted is a town lock. Who do you think is more likely to be scum: Vader or Luna?

Kohai

Agreed. I so wish Max and Vader would be more useful - especially max as he’s literally confirmed town and barely lifted a finger this day phase.
