I think if it were an intentional rulebreak I’d give the Mafia faction the win but disqualify that specific player from victory
if it were like, they were from a site where the meta was to quote your role card when you hammer to end the game, and they didn’t realize other sites were different, I would be lenient
generally you want to town bias in closed on this site
I don’t think you should significantly town bias on open on this site
I bring up project moon upick as something that had a Fairly Scumsided macro mechanic and also gave scum a nearly full vig
I would think that the play would be to just Remove the nearly full vig
running my “you lose if you die” setup and having this happen in f3 so i can finally have the ideal outcome: everyone loses!
you pray that this doesn’t happen
like that’s the worst way your game can feasibly end
Worse than everyone suddenly 0-posting when there aren’t any subs?
…? Why not?
I’d have already gone through the 5 stages of grief by the time I have to can that game
scum are better at using their actions
you might think
‘well town has so many more actions’
town actions are comically inaccurate on average
I carried that mash I think
…? As in, night actions?
oh I see how I completely missed what you were initially asking about
to ‘why you shouldn’t town bias on open’
we have had marson go very poorly in both directions in this site’s history
tbf i do think the dark flame / knight of despair interaction probably could’ve been easily at least partially corrected without even changing the mechanical effect by just specifying that dark flame kills “unless healed” and that adding additional text that the blessing protects from non-strongman deaths
(which works in-flavor because the blessing in the actual game iirc makes you extra vulnerable to pale damage anyways, which is basically strongman damage)
which can subtly lead players into deducing that the dark flame is not, in fact ,strongman, and can therefore, in fact, be healed by the blessing
idt it would have actually changed what happened given gocj took it instantly but still
yeah
ultimately when you’re breaking new ground something will fall through the cracks
yea lol
‘scum uses unclear wording to clear themselves’ is a closed staple for a reason
yea lmao
