Re: Outing and Info Dropping

Long Con wrote:I did a host-based info-dump in my A World Apart game on LP, and it got my Serial Killer lynched. He had the power to protect himself at night, and there was only one other (Civvie) role in the game that could do that. He was targeted for death on such a night, and I wrote the post in such a way that it looked like he was targeted and protected. I was still learning how to host back then, I guess, and this was a hard lesson. The implication was all too clear, and he was promptly lynched. I should have made it a LOT more vague.

Metalmarsh, BR and I plan to do a reboot of the Buffy game that was our first ever co-hosting project, and I'm also working on a sequel to that LP game, called A World Reborn. This sequel will be similar in structure to the LOST game in that there will be a map to move around on in addition to the regular Mafia thread, and we believe we've identified the major flaws in LOST, so we're confident that this game will be a lot better! :noble:

We will host either of these games as soon as possible here on The Syndicate, I don't know how long it will take before we get in to the current rotation.
Thanks for the thoughts, that's super helpful!

Re: Outing and Info Dropping

Can I have another example or two of what constitutes host-based info dumps?

... no reason.

Re: Outing and Info Dropping

I think it takes a great deal of finesse and mastery to find out someone is bad and then still make a case on him/her without revealing that you are in the know. When a mafia player crafts a post like a true artisan without an info dump, it's a truly beautiful thing. It takes skill, whereas stating "I know Kim Jong Il is bad, just trust me guys k" is lazy and easy.

We need to reward and encourage the first - that higher level of playstyle while discouraging the latter.
