So my GW was acting real weird last night and apparently the fall out of that was this thread was not notifying me of anything. So I haven't read a lot of stuff, but I want to add how honored I am that Jon used something I said. The Queen of the Dead, to try and prove himself the ritualist. A person that died in this village so long ago and has no connection to current events. Will this lead to people in the future just making up stuff about random dead non players?

If I ever get the opportunity to be a medium or ritualist there will be shenanigans

With you and I becoming the welcoming committee - it would be a cute touch to the speak to the dead roles.

My eye is twitching at Jon making decisions based on the likelihood of someone have the same role multiple times.

After all, GwJumpman was The Corruptor twice in three games. Kat was just loudmouth back to back (odds of getting the same RRV back to back is about 1%, hell the odds of getting ANY regular villager role in two straight games is only 20%).

I think it's a learning curve thing.

On my first game back to the forums was the 3-aura seer game. So it became easy for me to consider each random roll as a random roll.

Sometimes you need to be impacted by it to accept it.

Are all roles equally weighted? Or are some roles rare?

What do you use to generate your random numbers, Zell? Just curious.

Take the list of players in alphabetical order. Put them in the list randomizer on random.org:

RANDOM.ORG - List Randomizer

This page allows you to randomize lists of strings using true randomness, which for many purposes is better than the pseudo-random number algorithms typically used in computer programs.
www.random.org www.random.org

That gives everyone their number.

Then take the roles for the game. Place those in the same list randomizer to mix them up. Match the numbers.

If there needs to be further randomness (say, because the role isn't a fixed role it's a "random regular" role, then I use a RNG to pick which number. Specifically, pyrhon random module. So for example Jon rolled RSV. There are eight strong villagers. I go into python and do a random.randint(1,8) and it spits out a number 1-8. Whichever number it gives me is the role. In Jon's case, it was a 7 for ritualist.

If it draws something they can't have, let's say there was another ritualist, then we just re-roll.

Have you ever been tempted to reroll or directly pick a role/person for lols?

I've re-rolled once in all of the hosting so far. I rolled a whole village and knew immediately by the roles and who got what that it was going to be an absolute shitshow of a game. So I re-rolled everyone from scratch and we ended up with the Lamb Chop game.
