23456th poster gets a cookie (cookie thread (Part 7)) (Part 11)

to be fair the signal that there was an arso were pretty weak but to be unfair twice shrunk literally yelled that there was an arso at the top of their lungs and just got flat out ignored

i autolose every cookie thread argument because when worst comes to worst the other person can move FoL slightly up on the google order when you search for my name and I don’t have that kind of power over anyone else

Like the role is ultimately one I would argue against being included with as much KP as it had for a variety of reasons, but the way it played out was like it was designed in a lab for maximum salt

your image from your linkedin (which you need to update btw) comes up first as i scroll down the websites tab and see the little images thing. your linkedin is third on google (for me anyway)

i don’t think fol is anywhere high enough to be considered yet

I would not include the arsonist role even with this balance change, but if for some reason I were going to include the arsonist role, but I wanted to make it slightly fairer for town rather than “surprise, get fucked, ten deaths”, I would just straight-up give the Firefighter a passive that’s like “you know the following role is included in the game: [arsonist rolecard minus flavor]” and have the full passive (including the arsonist rolecard) flip with them (and find some way to communicate to the wolves that someone knows their role, probably? the simplest way is to just give the arsonist a passive that’s like “btw the firefighter knows you have this role” (which also reduces the likelihood that the firefighter is just like “hello hi I know this role exists” in post 1) but there might be a more elegant way to do it, ideally one that doesn’t clear the firefighter)

this is not perfect for informing the village (they might get janitored, they could theoretically just not claim it ever and also live long enough it doesn’t flip, etc.) but I think it would probably be an improvement on “wow the village is so stupid how did they not realize that the presence of a firefighter meant there would be an arsonist that can kill twice as many people per night as a normal arsonist, it’s not like meme firefighters are incredibly common or anything”, and like I do think it would be pretty fair to say that if the firefighter lives all game without communicating the fact that there’s an arsonist this is a Fuckup on their part

for maximum obviousness the rolecard could literally be announced to the whole thread automatically at SoD1 or SoD2 or something (as a passive attached to the role, not as a surprise to the wolves), but I think that’s probably not actually a good choice, it makes the entire game revolve around the arsonist to a degree that even “the firefighter gets dayvigged day 1 and the arsonist role flips with them” wouldn’t

I mean I was already dead by then so I just was happy the game ended sooner

Your name is a regular noun

If someone searches marshal they’re likely going to get images of like actual marshals or whatever

I saw Atlas mentioning unstrongmannable doctor and honestly thats a valid place to explore. Why not? Why not assign like “power levels” to actions. There are no hard-fast rules that strongman kill needs to be on top. And it already isnt, commuter is on top. And honestly id argue strongman kill should be on top of commuter. Commuter is aggravating

But like in theory. If u wanna have a super power heavy role madness game. U could give people multiple vigs and bp vests and rolecops. And just assign a power number to them like 1-10. And higher number takes priority over lower. Why not

Like everyone could have a bp vest that has 1-10 power and everyone could have a vig shot thats 1-10 power. U use rolecops to scan for people’s powers. And like idk. Combine vig shots on the same person, like if two people shoot with a 5 power vig, they combine to a 10 pwoer shot vig. Go real madness of roles

The wolf leader roles kinda exacerbate this problem tbh. Like yeah this is a huge problem cuz wolves already benefit from being highly organised with their actions and having those ppl that decide on every action, village doesn’t, so it seems kinda unfair that wolves get to keep those people for even longer after they die

yeah but i got to thread late and wasn’t really trying to avoid getting killed

the one time i do this it’s when there’s a mechanic which can stop someone dying, of course
