Troll harder

Oh dear, looks like I've touched a nerve.

Harder, Pulsey! Do it harder!

The condom might break, right, Lawlz? ;)

hahaha... This has become the interlude.. nicely done.

Some villagers and wolves are bored to death.. Our guest pulsey have lifted their spirits again.

Well, I don't blame him for derailing the thread, it's all he has now. So sad ;~;

ok, there have been a lot of opinions about how this game has played out...

The majority opinion (including the game manager's) is that pm for villager is a bad idea.

I fundamentally disagree with this point. The villagers had pm last game and it was one of the most exciting wolves game held on these servers in recent memory... If the villagers didn't have pm last game, it would have been horrifically boring and they would have gotten crushed instead of just being beat by skunks final decision basically on a 50/50 guess.

Let me tell you where I think the problem is.....Factions! I don't like the idea that as a villager, I have to first eliminate the wolves and then turn on the people who were formerly my allies. In fact, Timinator even listed THIS VERY REASON when explaining why he didn't join this game. The village pretty much has this one in the bag, but as soon as the wolves are gone, now I have to worry about the aureah group winning, so....congrats me! I helped kill the wolves, but then....I lose because my cell wasn't conniving enough early in the game.

And I keep hearing about this whole pm thing being overpowering....
Let me remind everyone that the village HAS NOT WON A GAME YET. And even after this game, it will be hard to say the village won because it's going to be this sub group of the village that wins.

Ultimately, game manager can do whatever he pleases, but if pm is taken away from the village, it will be easy wolf win every game.

p.s. STAHP adding more roles every game, GM. It hurts my brain!

Dr. Stupid I agree about the factions. Somehow the edge of its gone. Especially for the players whose Factions are ravaged beyond recognition.

That being said, this Wolves game has lost its vibe. There are no public declarations nor exciting developments. Its effectively a Shadow Union vs the Wolves. The game is ultimately dulled by that in my opinion.

So where is the balance...

I am under the impression that in theory this game should be advantage village in the written format, even without PM's for the village.

The last game was exciting for sure, but only because the seers were picked off early. If the seers manage to survive just a couple of rounds and create a secret confirmed group it just become a walk in the park. I reckon a confirmed group of just 5 would be easily enough to control the lynch.

Also we are all very new to the game so are still learning. Our previous three attempts all had an incompetent village but we have mostly got it sussed now. With pms for the village this will happen again, I'm sure.

Look around the web at places that dedicate themselves to this game. They definitely Dont allow pms for the village. Presumably they have ironed out the rules through trial and error.

Also, it is so much more interesting when the seers have to say everything public. They can try to influence the vote but have to be careful not to reveal themselves.

As to the Factions - I think it was an interesting input to the game. Testing to see if new ideas work well over the original scenario. Why not, eh?

Factions make it a bloodbath. It takes weeks for one to finally win after so much lynch voting.

Factions were a welcome test but I think it's safe to say we won't want them again.

We need to look at the real game, as Balls said. NO PMs for the village. NO Wolf chat during the day. NO factions (I've never seen more than two village factions on EpicMafia).

Why factions ?! The only factions should be Villager and Wolf. I'm sure the thing that drives mafia is that the villagers dont know each other , but only their role.

Some quotes

'NO Wolf chat during the day'. Quote by Arun

How will that work if people live in other places in the world and how will Dom365 check wolf chat 24/7?

'Factions make it a bloodbath'. Quote by Genghis

Factions just makes the game last longer , in a negative way. When people start to lose intrest in the game they start to go inactive and miss their votes.

Taco. Arun meant night time in game. Not real life night time. He's right too. The online game should imitate the real work game as much as possible.

Game is really dead now.

We're just waiting, but be patient. Remember Dom is going through some things right now
