Tuthrededmafya - Planet Thread, Game Over!

[Dragon Slayer]

Oh, I figured the name was random.

Barkley

Barclay

Pssshh- who needs spelling.

[mathcam]

Yeah, the name was random, the role was inspired.

Cam

[Dragon Slayer]

Of course you couldn't have used the other Barclay episode where his paranoia of disease causes a ship wide syndrome. That would've just ruined the game

[CaptainBlicero]

Yeah, I was skeptical at first, but the two-thread thing turned out to be really cool. However, I think the "lynch whoever attempts to use the new mechanic" mindset is going to turn up whenever there's a new twist. The shady evil groups was also cool, because us townies just had no idea what was going on (although I knew Darkblade wa scum!).

This game also marked the end of my Cal Ripken-esque "never lynched while town" streak, so bah! on that. But good game all (especially Talitha), and nice job, mods!

And to think, I could've prevented it by letting the town know I had found you were ship's crew.

[Corsato]

Threading was limited by the fact that some players (like me) had a ship (or planet) ability. Why thread if you are in the right place to use your ability?

[Talitha]

For most of us it was mainly the stigma that went with it, I think... I mean, I nearly got lynched for threading when I didn't even do it on purpose.

And this was because town had no idea what our win conditions were... so anyone threading could be suspected of trying to get a majority in a thread.

It would've been more fun if we were more free to thread, I reckon.

I couldn't find the Capn's lynching in the front post... he did exist right?

[Corsato]

If I remember correctly, you were almost lynched because of Zoneace's number after threading. We should've lynched you then.

[CoolBot]

Though the number had nothing to do with Talitha's threading. The reason it went up is I was recruited by the mutineers.

[Corsato]

Yeah, that's right, but we didn't knew that back then.

[Dragon Slayer]

THe threading idea was cool- but I was not likely to move because

1) My role could only be used on the ship.
2) I can't stand replacing people in long games (unless it's one I really like) and threading would most likely require you to read up.

Good idea though, I'm just too lazy/busy.

-DS

[CoolBot]

It wasn't so bad, though, when I had been projected. True, I had to reread, but since I was following the thread before hand, I had a good idea of who I thought was suspicous. So the reread was more for reminding why I thought the way I did rather than to form new thoughts.

[mathcam]

Plus, all-told, it's still the same number of people as a normal game, and thus approximately the same amount of reading you'd have to do anyway.

[Dragon Slayer]

Ssssshhhhh- leave me to my lazy thoughts....

[CaptainBlicero]

Plus, all-told, it's still the same number of people as a normal game, and thus approximately the same amount of reading you'd have to do anyway.

And for those of us who never threaded... half the work, baby. Half the work.

[Thoth]

This is of course not true. We have 29 pages in one thread and 30 in the other both of which is more than a lot of the other games in this forum. I'm not sure why splitting a game into 2 threads does not reduce the size of the threads though.

[mathcam]

Admittedly a longer game than most, but not even double the average game. I added in the "approximately" to hedge my bets.

Cam

[Talitha]

I think fewer kills meant the game took longer than a normal one:
- Shiganooks could only kill once per night on the planet OR ship, not both. (Incidentally we missed out on killing MeMe on Night 1 because we didn't realise this!)
- Mutinists weren't killing

Had to check this of course

15 finished games (not included Texas return(actually a mini), C&C(abandoned), London(only part of the game) and the 2 threads of this game)
7 had more pages, 7 less pages and 1 had 30 as well.
451 total pages, so average just above 30. Assuming we'll reach page 31 with this discussion we could not be closer to double the average game.

[Dirge]

I was suprised that there were no Serial killers in this game. This also reduced the number of kills per night.

[Corsato]

I never really followed the planet thread....so it was a huge disadventage for me to go to the planet. Of course that's my own mistake.

[mathcam]

I was suprised that there were no Serial killers in this game. This also reduced the number of kills per night.

That, lack of choices from the mutinists, and invalid targets for the mutinists. I had intended for them to do more killing than recruiting once they were successful once, simply because there weren't

that

many valid targets for them. But it just didn't happen that way.

Cam

[CoolBot]

I think the reason we went with recruiting more was because we needed a 2/3 majority. Recruiting gave us a +2 advantage over the town, while killing only gave us a +1 and we didn't want to be short at the end game. And it took us a while to figure out only a few people could be recruited.

[mathcam]

Yeah, I certainly don't mean to imply you did anything wrong by attempting to recruit. I had intended to be more explicit in the role PM that your possible recruitees were limited.
