TWG - ChatChit

Re: TWG - ChatChit

If people would prefer a day start, I'm fine with that. I much prefer a night start, as you can get a surprising amount of information based on who gets killed off the first night. This does have the unfortunate side effect of someone not getting to participate, though.

Informal poll time! Would you folks rather play a 12 player night start or a 13 player day start? I'm perfectly fine hosting either one.

i think that's very debatable, as you have no idea whether a nightkill was just 100% randomized either - there's no previous interactions to base any true justification of a nightkill off of

It's something at least. I don't think I've ever participated in a game (on either side) where the n0 kill was completely randomized; there's usually some sort of justification for it. Daystarts just seem like you'd get absolutely nothing to work off of and then someone gets lynched for an arbitrary reason. I'm very much used to playing with nightstart, so I'll reserve judgement until I've played in more daystart games.

In the meantime, I'll tally your vote in the appropriate column, and I thank you for the input.

i guess, the problem with that logic is that it's hindsight 20/20, and easy to see at the end of the game, also when you have access to like, a mafia chat log session thing

while in the game, you have absolutely no idea about intentions and all you can do is assume. There's not even any game interactions to conjecture about i think

Re: TWG - ChatChit

after reading this thread if I'm ever a wolf on a nightstart game on FFR I'm 100% making the kill using random.org

Re: TWG - ChatChit

n0 kills are still an interesting mechanic IMO, even if I'm partial to daystarts. I was just thinking it over, and I realized that if, say, manti died every game n0, then I would probably opt to kill him n0 most of my wolf games too, because I wouldn't want to stand out.

Daystarts just seem like you'd get absolutely nothing to work off of and then someone gets lynched for an arbitrary reason.

but, in the context of this community in particular, I'd say this no longer applies. the generally accepted posting style lends itself to there being enough content in the first phase of the game to have a meaningful lynch.

meaningful != accurate, but it's definitely meaningful.

Re: TWG - ChatChit

I think it really sucks if you sign up for a game and then you get killed before you can actually do anything

that's my reasoning against nightstarts

there's a reason they exist.
its a pretty shitty one though.

it \does\ get the game started off of at least one piece of information, which is the main thing. Its 100% possible to determine alignments off of them, or at least partially do so. It does suck that in most games, someone will die without having done anything, but its what happens.

I am partial to day starts as well in, at the very least, smaller setups.

Re: TWG - ChatChit

One problem with no I find is that you effectively kick someone out of the game without letting them really play (assuming night talk is off and such) also offers it gives the woofs a free chance to kill a town pr

the latter of this helps balance more than it hurts it
all claims later on down the road get the added "the real role could've died n0"
