My game aint starting for another ten days if anyone else wants to run a game before then.

Or I can wait longer to start it if people want a break. I get it if this game might have soured some people. And that's not at all a criticism of Benzine or how he ran the game, which I always appreciate him doing. That's just the reality of those roles that were involved this time.

I honestly enjoyed having multiple factions and never disliked the Cupid role in any of the games. It just creates another dimension to the game and adds another plan for me to try to fuckup
Part of my ongoing distaste for the subfactions like Cupid and whatnot is that yeah, its always a lot more fun when you're in on a joke rather than the butt of it.

I think that announcing that Cupid/Instigator exists will help that and reduce the power of the couple.

It probably would, but I like not knowing, makes the game more interesting (to me) if we don't know what we're dealing with.

If we know there is a cupid, then that means we dont have to worry about lynching fool or HH target on accident

That might work.

Maybe it would be better to announce more generally “there is at least one linked couple”

This way, you know know that the SK can’t kill at night, that there is no fool, or that one wolf is compromised

Only allow one linked couple and announce there is one but not say which variety it is.

If the SK kills off the bat you know it's Cupid. If they don't then you have to not trust anyone with a good aura for a bit.

I like multiple groups. Maybe if there are 15+ players there can be 2 groups (or less)

It was kinda like playing Magic:The Gathering back in the day. You play a card in a tournament and then your opponent is like "you can't do that" and you're like "but it says so right here in the rules" and the fuckin dweeb (me) is like "UM ACTUALLY in the new errata they changed it so you can't anymore".

The rules are the rules even if it wasn't printed on the card.

Its basically the reverse of that. Incredibly deflating either way.

Oh wait I've got an even worse analogy

"Ain't no rule says a dog can't play basketball" was established in Air Bud. But then let's say in Air Bud 6: All Buds Go To Heaven they DO make a rule says dog can't play basketball.

But you didn't WATCH Air Bud 6.

So then you go to make Air Bud 9: Fellowship of the Bud and you write a scene where Air Bud dunks on the Balrog.

The nerds would say that meat's back on the menu, boys.

I need to get more sleep at night.

But think of all the joy it gave @canadaguy to watch a game where no one knew wtf was going on
