I had absolutely no clue what was going on in this and all of the identical att avatars and names all starting with “Servant“, really didn’t much help matters.

I'll be resetting the servant accounts and setting up their servant portraits as the avatar, when I do the PT release tomorrow.

Yeah that would have definitely helped. For someone who’s dyslexic, having almost identical names and avatars made it extremely difficult for me to differentiate between the various accounts. In the anonymous Ditto game on MU for example, both of the avatars as well as the names were very clearly differentiated, also the mechanic of that game was albert extremely intriguing. still easily understandable.

+1 I had major difficulty and I am not dyslexic.

I’m glad I wasn’t alone in that. People will definitely get a kick out of reading my extremely confused and desperate thoughts in the Shielder PT.

in my defense, i also had someone else take my own notes during university, because my notetaking ability is that bad.

The worst part for me was that since most of them were the same colour, I had a great deal of trouble telling them apart.

The main problem was most of them looked identical, especially the colours, that’s the main reason for having avatars in general, to make it easier to differentiate between different users’ post. The only one that actually stood out to me was Berserker, the others pretty much seemed to blend into each other.

Seriously. I have no idea how I didnt piece that together.

I initially thought you were RC but when you changed your pronoun to “she”, I actually guessed you correctly.

I was referring to the players with pretty much identical avatars, sorry if that wasn’t clear.

I really wanted to play in this but I was so thoroughly confused, I just kind of gave up. :/

Thanks, perhaps next time?

The various entanglements my role could have had with Berserker and Foreigner never came close to firing as far as I can tell. Probably a good thing for my sanity's sake. Winding up in as many as 3 neighborhoods would have seriously tweaked my paranoia.

The player list is awesome, too! I reluctantly came out of mafia retirement to play a Cabd game, and this game was totally worth it.
Couldn't agree more. This game was a blast and I enjoyed every minute of it. I could've neighborized half the damn playerlist and still had a blast

Also lol @Cabd ever letting RC into one of his games

I’m not familiar with their history?

Sorry the game didn't work out for you, you have my sympathies in not being able to tell the names/avatars apart, often a tricky thing in anonymous games. No shame in backing out when you did, always better to recognize early when a game isn't working for you rather than forcing yourself to struggle through it. wish i could've helped you out in some way ingame but it is what it is. hope that there are better times for you in other games in the future.

Thanks, I really did think that not being able to tell the names/avatars apart made things really difficult for me but I also struggled a lot with the mechanics. I was thinking that if I could just make it through the night, I’d be able to have some solid footing but when I struggled as much as I did trying to make reads. I realized I was in an uphill battle. Thanks for this, I definitely do appreciate it. Perhaps in the next game?

This PT would have worked even better in my game than the actual ones which existed.
