Once again, thank you all for playing!

Players, you're encouraged to keep playing newbies as long as you like, of course, but I humbly suggest trying out different games and styles, if you're brave enough and feel like checking out other game styles and sizes!


If you liked the "solve the setup" interactions with a semi-open setup like the NewD3 setup:

There's also the Micro Queue!

Prefer to keep things a little more secret, and try out a larger pond?

Prefer to add themes, flavors, and wackier roles?

In post 1423, Mikul wrote:I don't know if you did it intentionally / unintentionally safebet but putting pressure on lunar in the way that you did was really big. Peta basically got poed because of it. There was 2 times were you didn't even have to push lunar and you did, in a way that you were certainly will to lynch him.

It set up a dynamic for iso where it just made no sense for you to push when you did. That was top tier scum play.
Yeah... It was intentional. I knew the meta in the newbies was to not bus your partner D1 so I mentioned it to Lunar as a strat. After the fakeclaim and the way you hard defended your positions D2 on that and quiet, I knew pushing Lunar was the most convincing way of distancing as long as it was yolo push until death.

The only other conscious strategy I used was to never FoS peta, no matter what... I was also prepared to hard defend him, but never really had to.

Well played. Being willing to bus in a behavior game with the inability to get results and also in a beginner game was just great. Really well played.

Im paranoid af and run through every situation I can. And that's one I don't think I could have came to no matter what

@uwnd

Yeah without results that game had me paranoid and I def was trying to think about "what could" in order to build reads in case "it did".

That game was stressful but fun. I actually think that may have been one of the more difficult ones I've ever been apart of
