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.

 

[shortkut]

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

Also this is the first time I ever got selected for a SV role.

Only thing I dont like about cupid is that cupid dies when the couple dies, 3 people off the board for one is huge

What does the V in SV stand for? It drives me nuts. Shouldnt it be SNV? SV to me looks like Solo Violent. Solo Villager?

I agree, but before Cupids were willing to sell out their couples in order to stay alive /win with the village and that obviously doesn’t work.

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.

You were cupided once. We took out some wolves and then died.

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

 

[Quagmire]

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

 

[VashTheStampede]

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

Yeah but the flipside is that it makes them too difficult and then THEY aren't as fun.

 

[shortkut]

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

 

[shortkut]

I think I solved that in my post right after yours

 

[VashTheStampede]

“there is at least one linked couple”

Unless we get our player count higher, I'm not sure having Cupid and Instigator in the same game is a good idea.

What if we add a polycule into the mix and you are part of all 3 groups?

I am similarly afflicted brother but this is not a situation where a girl walks in with an itty-bitty waist and a round thing in your face.

What if, the Cupid itself is instigated or the instigator is part of the couple.

Remove all the limitations

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)

Yeah I'd be much less reluctant to have multiple gangs if we had more players.

And also now that we're all working off the same ruleset.

Yeah the same ruleset is key.

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.

 

[VashTheStampede]

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.

Benzine should have given him a dead thread fun where he could shoot other dead people to send them back to the alive thread.
