Tired Moritz on June 22, 2023, 2:01 p.m. | Aww man. Oh well |
Toalpaz on June 22, 2023, 2:28 p.m. | Gg! Scum played really well. Town should always execute. Gg |
Deadmeat5150 on June 22, 2023, 2:58 p.m. | I did say that scum played a good game. |

Although I am most sincerely sorry about your bad day, it was good luck for the scum team who you had just fingered in its entirety. |
Punkreas on June 22, 2023, 4:04 p.m. | Thanks for the game, it was fun and interesting! |

So yes. Scum played well. I think the setup was to some extent irrelevant to scum's victory here; town did needlessly sabotage themselves a bit. However, I did make mistakes and learnt a lot from running this.
Things that I think were good:
Things that I think were not so good:
Wall of text lol sorry. Anyway I'm thinking of reworking this into a flexible player-count, randomised open setup game and rerunning it sometime in the future. I hope some of you will consider playing again at that time. Now that I've got the flavour writing out of my system I'll be able to focus more on fun and balance! |
Jen X on June 22, 2023, 4:49 p.m. |
I enjoyed the flavor and I also enjoyed solving the entire setup on the last day
sad that scum refused to let me get a solo win, really rude of them |
Rhymes With Clue on June 22, 2023, 5:28 p.m. |
I will say the end post really confused me because I thought people being endgamed meant they had lost.
Specifically, I look at the game first thing before I can really see (have to be awake for awhile to put in contacts) and I note that a post is up, which means the game is over, so I stretch it so I can read and come into the middle where it says "IA has been endgamed" and I was like, oh well. Then I went to the beginning, and reversal. So good game scummates and it ended just in time. Jen X if you had just said "if this works I exit the game" well maybe we would have helped. Numbers, y'know. |

yeah but then town would have interfered instead!!!!! |

Maugrim on June 22, 2023, 5:56 p.m. |
Actually I just checked back with Cluedo mafia and the winning town players were listed as "endgamed" so I guess that's where I got the idea from.
Anyway you knew what I meant eventually |
Punkreas on June 22, 2023, 6:16 p.m. | Maugrim posted:[*] Punkreas' role was well balanced at two empowers a night. I went back and forth a lot on this number, and it feels like I got it right; he could have achieved his wincon if he'd simply chosen to empower Rhymes and Wins on the final night rather than attempt his ritual. Interesting, I had no idea I was this close to winning. I assumed I had to do more than just empower everyone (I thought rituals were involved). I was just sharing the love because abilities are fun! |
AnonymousNarcotics on June 22, 2023, 7:30 p.m. |
Maug I think this would be a great basis for a game that could be run multiple times with slightly different setups (e.g. Affinity order changes every game, which affinity is wild or negating changes every game)
Definitely great game for a first time mod, and super fun! |

I'm already working on the repeatable/randomised version, it's gonna be great |
Deadmeat5150 on June 22, 2023, 7:52 p.m. | I had a blast writing flavor for this. |
Maugrim on June 22, 2023, 7:56 p.m. |
Oh and guys
TMor's post restriction was real |
Idle Amalgam on June 22, 2023, 7:59 p.m. | Lmao |
CubicalSucrose on June 22, 2023, 8:07 p.m. | Maugrim posted:[*] The ritual mechanic confused a bunch of people and also kind of sucked in practice. I was honestly expecting people to share their affinities and try to collaborate to make rituals happen despite the interference of scum, but none of that happened. Part of the issue was the complexity of the system (in particular I finally realised last night that Knock and Moth cancelling each other out was wholly unnecessary), but I also think a major factor was - What do the rituals do? |
Maugrim on June 22, 2023, 8:37 p.m. |
A whole variety of different stuff. The ones relevant to this game included -

Here was my Testament, which never got used but I felt really good about the info-density of it (especially after reading the other testaments).
**##testament Sorry for lurking D1, had some work nonsense. In case my flip is jani'd, I was Enid, TOWN-aligned Disciple (vanilla). I had no alt wincon. I had a Knock affinity which has a purple key symbol (and why I wanted to explore because purple). I could contribute 5 points. I willed Keats. If alive, they might or might not have gotten notification of this. My study got me a 1-shot seer, I picked Keats. Keats is NOT SCUM. I died due to a garrote. I did not contribute to the N1 ritual. Go town, avenge me (please)! No other reads.** I like both Wills and Testaments as mechs in general but felt like they were underutilized overall. However! Keats trying to coerce items using Wills as leverage was one of my favorite parts of the game. |
Johnny Keats on June 22, 2023, 9:26 p.m. | Frustrating that I got killed after catching Sandwolf dead-to-rights and trolled AN hard enough in masonry that I concluded she must be scum the day I died too. Hmph |
Johnny Keats on June 22, 2023, 9:29 p.m. | You all should read my masonry with AN, with the knowledge that I thought they were probably scum the whole time I was begging for their item. It's very funny |
AnonymousNarcotics on June 23, 2023, 2:42 a.m. | Also you were right about "I have no heart" being a secret scum claim |
Jezza of OZPOS on June 23, 2023, 7:24 a.m. | shoutout to everyone that didnt believe tm had a post restriction lmao |

Rhymes With Clue on June 23, 2023, 8:14 p.m. |
I thought TM made up the post restriction, yeah.
You guys are a lot of fun to play with. Thanks! |
