Thanks so much for playing!

Special thanks to the replacement volunteers, and special special thanks to everyone who played from the start!

I'll post the PTs shortly.

There's a shitty feeling replacing into a newbie slot and then stomping all over the progress newbscum makes.

I can't even be mad because I'd be pissed if you just let me win. But man it sucks that almost every single player we pocketed replaced out with an SE.

Vax, I genuinely think you won the game when you went on VLA. That caused so many leaves and set us so far back.

Roden, I want you to know was very compelling at points and gave me pause. I don't think you really could have done better at arguing your way out today.

@Roden

That's the site health right now. Most newbs replace out because the pace isn't as fast as Among Us or Town of Salem. If you know how to invite other people here so that there's a big flow of newbies, that would be great. I don't even know how new people discovers this site anymore since forums are dead.

That's honestly better than I hoped. I didn't think I could win if I brought GIF to end game over you, and going by dead chat that was ultimately true. I don't think I win in any ELo tbh.

Is the site dead? I'm guessing it's slower than it used to be going by some old threads I've read. I randomly found the forums myself completely by accident.

It's not dead. Games are still being fired regularly, and games are still fun. But the newbie queue isn't what it was.

Nice work everyone!
Nice try Roden, and filthy scum T3! :P
I think keeping me alive would have been better for you.

Thanks fferyllt for modding.

Sorry for replacing out btw.
Thought it wouldn't have been fair to the others had I gone V/LA instead.

Imagine if the Newbie Queue was kept alive solely by people randomly stumbling on the site

GG. Sorry for replacing out again. I could've actually finished this one >.>

I forgot the cardinal rule which is that when I fakeclaim PR it's normally town who are more suspicious of me and scum who are more conciliatory

whoops

Glad you enjoyed the flavor! It was inspired by GuyInFreezer's newbie game flavors from back in the day.

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 feeling brave and would like to check out other game styles and sizes!

If you liked the "solve the setup" interactions with a semi-open setup like the NewD3 setup, check out the open queue!
viewtopic.php?p=12853107#p12853107



There's also the Micro Queue! 9 Player Maximum, and all sorts of setups!
viewtopic.php?p=12861376#p12861376



Prefer to keep things a little more secret, and try out a larger pond? Try the Mini Normal queue!
viewtopic.php?p=12854020#p12854020



Would you like to try out a high-flavor or mechanically complex game? The Mini Theme queue might be just right for you!
