Wonder how awkward the FV peek would have worked then.

I mean, yeah, it got randed to me. I'm surprised I even made it to eod 1.

Great game all. Well played F3, that was a really fun read of the last couple days.

Also, sad I did not get to hit anyone with a tentacle

I wasn't online master, because if I see this, you are modkilled on the spot.

I mean really, what is so hard to understand about this rule?

This game had the shortest OP's in the history of HP and you manage to break the rules on day 1. Color me amazed.

Imagine playing exactly wolfy enough to get shot at day 2, and then the wolf angel dies. Wolves are immune, no one shoots at you and you get lunched.

I saw it, but not until after the execution, so I let it go. At that point he was dead already and there wasn't much to be done about it.

UD (The Italo-Russian one) probably has 6 MKs in this game

I didn't say it was easy. You must out on the right moment and the wolf angel being alive is certainly unfavorable for any kind of tricks. if you don't get killed in ITA's, you still have a very good claim and explanation.

It's fine. We cannot read all posts with 2 mods online and 3 threads. It is the reason why the OP's say: "Do not discuss anything related with modding this game and/or PMs in the thread. Instead, ship a PM to JK Rowling".

Maybe. Master should have been modkilled for his tentacle post. I agree on this one.

RJwalsh posted at :02. It is silly to modkill for that, if it is a non-angleshoot post. Thread should be closed at :01, but we couldn't due to three threads that needed to be closed at the same time.

Uglydelicious edited a post and corrected an image. She was playing her first game. If you modkill for that, you are a rules nit.

Not modkilling chim for casting 12 spells.

I was kinda "UGH" when Chris Pine pasted part of his role PM. That was a really bad idea that should have been discussed with the mod first. bopolis was adamant this should not be punished. His role was intended to become mechanically clear. It was awkward to see how his attempts failed. The role was a bad idea and it was my fault that he ended up in that spot. He got killed by a villager in the end, so I'm fine with the final decision of not modkilling him.

Not sure if there was any other situation that was a potential modkill. These are all that I'm aware of and this is my position on them.

+gad

I haveusually been on a nit side, but I think you decisions were good and I like forgiving modding style.

Just 5.

I also want to express my disappointment that an usurper has stolen my name, and was aided and abetted in doing so by people I thought to be my friends. A duel to the death seems like the only option.

I’d have 3.

What was the Gad thing?

Gad tried to use the timestamps of his mod communications of his new role to clear himself in boggart chat

@ct

I think it is remarkable that you think RJ posting at :02 is a modkill and Chris Pine is not. For me, CP is close. RJ is lolobvious not a modkill.

Yeah it’s a black and white rule where intent/interpretation doesn’t matter. What if he posts at :03? :10? You cannot have different Case Law on these kind of rules. Irrelevant whether he posts ”lolgabe” or ”n2 beck v”.

CP is a modkill pre-game, once it’s alive on n0, deal with it.

Wasn't the point of the chris pine role to encourage angleshooting/mod intervention? Why would you modkill him for playing his role?

Things that I really liked:

i) This game. Great job Gabe, bop and VR.
ii) Hermione's role. I love hidden/unconscious roles and tend to use them a lot, but none of my unconscious roles were as good as this one. Pretty jealous that I never came up with such an idea, actually.
ii) The Sorting Hat seer. Amazing role.
iii) All the push-your-luck roles. Small note: I think that a watch is typically better than an angel for the village, so I would have inverted the order of those two action for the role that had them.
iv) Ron's role.
v) The boggart roles. The fact that they had chat was a nice touch.
vi) The flavour, short and sweet. Unimportant note: there is no need to put wincons in the role PMs; just state it once in the OP.


Things that I am a bit ambivalent on:

i) Lupin's role. It sounds like a cool idea in theory, but if a player votes the top wagon most of the time, which is something that can happen often, it ends up being wasted.
ii) Draco's role. It is a relatively harmless version of a convertible player, but it is still a convertible player.
iii) The fact that Grindelwald's role had a very tough treshhold for his nightkill. I am not a balancing expert, so I could be wrong here, but a limit of 15 looks a bit fairer, and it is still possible to sell him as a slank vig.
iv) The wolf ability that specifically prevents Kreacher to invite the player he wanted to the HQ. Wolves have enough RBing already, so this is an annoying mechanic for no reason.
v) Harry's role. Both his role and the mechanics that surround it are extremely thematic, so well done. But it still felt super weird that he did not have Night Actions.

Things that I didn't like:

i) The fact that you did not modkill the :02 nightposter and the image editor. Both 100% needed to die even if they did not disrupt game integrity, because people will often think that you did not kill them for game-related reason, even though they shouldn't. C'est la vie, just bite the bullet and remove them from the game IMO.
ii) Chris Pine's role belongs in a haters game, but you already know that.
iii) Roles and mechanics that mess with the lynch. A lynched player should always, always die.
iv) No lynch not being allowed at certain points of the game, if I heard that right. Why?
v) Gadarene cheating (no other word to describe this). Bruh.

Lupin had a tough job to figure out his role. That's for sure. But he was warned. I don't mind his powers might be wasted. I wanted a good role for Lupin and not one that he could use to insta clear himself, because there were already too many self clearing roles. It was one of the last roles I made up.

Grindelwald's principal powers was the extra set of silent spells. The slank ability was more to claim than anything else.

Wolves could block kreacher, to avoid scary situations of Dumbledore + Kreacher.

Harry was supposed to go deep because he would learn silent casting night 1 (except that Snape died) and he would get the eye of moody, the map and potentially gain a day angel when Neville is killed.

No lynch wasn't allowed, because wolves can just reply not killing anyone. Lame and lamer.

Your biggest flaw as a mod imo is that you have some rules and you apply them without thinking and never reconsider. A rule of thumb is good. But you must know when to deviate. Your blacklist is only getting larger and several people that are on it played this game and were a positive addition. You must rule in a way that is good for the game. Not rule because it is written somewhere in some kind of mod handbook

Is m*nstrm*n on your blacklist now though?

Yes, he is

I have a blacklist. But people fall off because time passes and people learn and I forget

Next game I probably allow jsmith to play again, if he behaves in the games he plays.

Am I the only one here that has both blacklisted people from games and been blacklisted from games?

Sure, but Snape dying early really ****ed up Harry’s usefulness. This will sound unfair because good roles die early all the time and skew the balance in unpredictable ways, but Harry and Voldemort have to be powerful and go deep (IMO). I could very well be wrong though.

That’s what ITAs are for

I was banned from playing an SE game just after the GAME INTEGRITY meme set off. That was a game by itsrainingmen, which ended in complete disaster, because the dude couldn't mod a game of that size. It was amazing

Late to the party, but good game all!
Thanks to the wolf team who sucked less than I did.


Thanks mods for hosting and the great experience as always.
