based on a combination of the goal of the game (town should live, scum should die) and the privileged information I have (my role PM, indicating that I am town) I won't be doing that

Mod thoughts:

I didn't like how the matches and matchvote system worked out , conceptually i thought it would work but it was very meh in practice.


In Monday night wars 1996 I will:

1.) Lower the game size
2.)Completely revamp matches or some kind of match mechanic.

i feel like the enthusiasm for "matches" works better in like a TTRPG with a cozy group of like-minded wrestle-nerds

the main issue i can see is that the tone of wrestling is High-Wire MeloDrama, but there's no mechanical in-game benefit to typing up a big wall of in-character RP text

overall, it just feels like a mis-match between tone and mechanics

This was a really interesting game!

I'd had a very similar design idea in mind (thunderdome related to loved/hated mechs) a while ago but shelved it because it didn't "click" fully (and the flavor theme I had in mind wasn't something I was super familiar with). I am glad I had a chance to have played in this one.

Design notes:
- Match votes could've been public and once-per-day. DCob had called out "maybe someone can snoop voters so I don't want to vote for Cube" one time. Alternatively, have one player elected as "the ref" who decides the match?
- The actual match details being out-of-the-blue felt bad. If you had pre-generated the card (minus the players) and gave a short description, I think that might've gone over better? i.e. D1 regular match, D2 tag match, D3 ladder match (expect a twist!), D4 lights out rumble (multi-shot elim). Sand called me out on controlling this, but we had zero idea. I thought maybe it was him as a 3P doing it.
- Having matches with 2 players is low-investment. Perhaps every match being 3+ would work better, until x players left.
- The Loved/Hated stacks being later-day-weighted feels opposite of what you'd want, I think? The first match having "seemingly zero impact" was just a strange way to kick things off. And then "basically everyone is now Loved 1" after (D4/5?) made the last day a drag.
- 72-hour days slow things down a fair bit more than I'd realized.

I guess like, the big thing from me is "With a low-power-role game built around a clear gimmick, the fact that basically all of the gimmick details were obscured made it hard for everyone to play with it."

-------
- Double town/town masonry was fun.
- Infinite town nightvig was pretty cool (Maer dying early was awkward).
- Puppies role was inspired.


------------------
Play notes:
- I should've realized earlier that if I use it, my role never actually endgames.
- Hard-bussing with Yuming and Crumbum was great, until that multiflip day which wrecked us.
- Heroic work troubleshooting VF while playing, DCob.
- I think if we push Binus out over Yuming, the game goes differently. I think if we kill Sand earlier, the game goes differently.
- TMor being a jailer makes so much sense and I never considered it, which was pretty bad but didn't really wind up mattering.

Thanks as always CPig. I really like replacing into games, I think I have a clearer picture of what’s going on by completely ignoring the first two days of the game lol

Finally back home, I think scum played pretty well with the busing etc. just got cornered at the end by the jailor/doctor combo

Thanks for running CPig!

Yeah basically I rng'd each days match using the "Professional wrestling match type" wiki page and then decided that day what the match did specifically if it wasn't one of the handful of match types i already decided on that were in the op.
