Re: The Syndicate 2014 Game of Champions [ENDGAME]
Modkills would certainly do it imo. At least have it as a warning against info-dropping/outing. Players wouldn't out themselves if they're going to lose as a result of it.Dom wrote:Don't be sorry-- that doesn't change anything.Metalmarsh89 wrote:Sorry for your luck Dom.

TBH-- Epi you are a great host. I love your games a lot.
TBH, DH, you have more patience than I do-- I would have, and did, have an in-thread fit. You played it better than I ever could.
Lynch and kill outers. Ruin their games. Make their lives miserable. Ruin everything for them. Make them feel how I have felt when I have played flawless games (see Doctor Who Mafia) and still get lynched simply because all the civvies out themselves.
I think it was X-Men where players were info-dropping, and so Rob kept giving us baddies extra little bonuses to compensate for it. Either it didn't matter, or we just didn't play well enough.

TBH, Info dumping CAN improve a game.
Role outing does not.
I'm so sick of this. I'm so sick of having that discussion-- it's not the first time.

Re: The Syndicate 2014 Game of Champions [ENDGAME]
I feel very torn and upset by this whole thing. Because I guess I keep thinking I know where the line is and then I over step it. I honestly don't think I did anything wrong this game. If anyone wants to search my posts and PLEASE tell me where I did anything wrong. Do it and PM it to me because I want to be a better player and I *though* was was becoming one.
I literally feel sick to my stomach that I helped make this game so unenjoyable for so many people. I want to get better but if I'm not shown better ways of playing things, I can't learn. Show me how civ bts was played better. Then I can learn.

Thanks llama - I am pretty cool in lots of things -but I'm not great at mafia - and I never claimed to be. I do however, love to learn and welcome instruction.
you're cool too sir!
TH - you would have been fun to have back too! I voted where I wanted to there. I couldn't believe anyone who picked Abed is Batman was bad.

Re: The Syndicate 2014 Game of Champions [ENDGAME]
I agree, I think "info dumping", or at least info-hinting, should be a vibrant part of Mafia. It's the reason why giving the baddies a dead-role-checker (or even a regular role-checker) is so good. What an opportunity!
Perhaps the better way to combat the perceived info-dumping problem is for hosts to introduce things into the game to specifically neutralize the possibility. More baddie roles that can cause wrong information to seem right, variants on the Seemer role, roles that are listed as Civvie but are actually bad...
Also, it's worthwhile to point out that the baddies have a WAY better record on this site than the Civvies. The baddies win disproportionately more. So an infodumping problem isn't hurting the overall baddie win chances.

The game, in general, has a huge problem with info-dumping lately. You know that.

It's not my place nor fair of me to say you played poorly or to "teach" you how to play. You *could* have been more subtle, and I think that was the thing for me is how obvious both you and Eloh were about it.

Re: The Syndicate 2014 Game of Champions [ENDGAME]
Of the people in the end game, the only person who was not outed/didn't out themselves was DH-- when excluding inactives because they don't matter at that point.
That's a problem.
Honestly, this is the second game on this site that has been absolutely DESTROYED because of info dumping and role outing. There's good in info dumping, but there's also, "hey i'm not bad and it rhymes with "prom".

Just to circle the wagon back to the inactive thing:
Lizzy, Lorab, Sabie, and Reywas were ALL civvies. When that big a chunk of civvies are inactive, its not surprising to me that the mafia win more often than not.

Re: The Syndicate 2014 Game of Champions [ENDGAME]

Also, he admitted to me in the Gollum chat that his Day One Misfits ploy was all bullshit. So I tried to focus everyone on it. I still don't know why no one ever analyzed it and saw that it was ludicrous... another testament to DH's abilities!

This game was lame. Black Rock was killed night one! Why? WHY!!!???? I loved my role and so wanted to play it. You broke my heart Suits, BROKE MY HEART! I had to follow along the game as a deady ALL game. So very sad. I deserved a chance. I hope you four realize what I have to do to you. It will be very sad for you as well. I had to throw a real life fit at that post, a real life fit. Imagine what LC had to witness. It was awful, his life was changed forever. You will now have to suffer these real life situations for the rest of your life... as long as I have opportunity. I'll never have this role again, I hope it was worth the agonizing death I must bestow upon you.

DH I have to congratulate you in a different post (had to have my drama post first). Congratulations on not killing me night one, that was a good decision. I will forever admire you for that. Seriously though, you played an excellent game. I can't believe you lasted so long. Just reading the thread you were such an obvious choice, but they all past you by. Crazy! You have a way with words.

First of all congrats to DH. You played an awesome game, it was a pleasure to be on a team with you. I am sorry I messed up that day 1 vote. I tried to play like my indecisive civvy Who game. Problem was in Panic I left my vote on MM. I tried to move my vote but it was too late. A huge error on my part. I am so sorry team. I think it was this that got me. Shame I got lynched for being a suit though. That sucked.

Re: The Syndicate 2014 Game of Champions [ENDGAME]
Yeah, sorry about that Snowy. I knew you weren't by the actual day you were lynched. Timmer learnt about the ring and when Roxy died, due to voting you, we knew you were the Necromancer. So we just continued the Suit talk!

Re: The Syndicate 2014 Game of Champions [ENDGAME]
I asked in chat if Canadians spelled it the UK way but no one came up with canadian players. No one seemed to want to persue it as I was no way convinced about zeek.S~V~S wrote:He is Canadian.
Also it was stupid to target MP when we knew he was Tyler. We didn't read his role descriptin though. can you believe that?
NP zeek. I had no idea why Roxy died.

I just prefer to spell things correctly whenever possible. Americans apparently don't like the letter "u" as much as the rest of the world, so they drop it from words like colour, honour, neighbour, rumour, etc.Snow Dog wrote:LC, why did you spell it "rumour"?

Re: The Syndicate 2014 Game of Champions [ENDGAME]
Also Gleeok got changed, very clever way to work in that 31st player Epi
I was sooo sure Bea was a companion, lol. I was amazed no one went after her for being the 31st person to sign up when the host said that he prerandomed the roles by order of sign up. So with 30 roles, the 31st player had to be...a secret role.
But no one really went with that. I came close, but then I reread Elo since there was the mega early vouch, and could see she was civ. So i backed off Bea, thinking the 31st role was a companion, since Dr Whos role SAID he travels with a companion.
Linki~ I tend to use Commonwealth spelling when I am in a sock game or secret BTS since I have some very obvious typing tells. I remember someone, maybe jason, telling me they use US spelling in those situations for the same reason.

This whole time you thought you needed to be Night killed? You needed to be lynched!bea wrote:epi - who would have come back if the other poll options for the dead players had won?
I'm dying to know who put Abed is Batman.
Marshy - for what it's worth - I did actually want to die so we could bring someone back. I was going to try to bring you back if it happened. Sadly no one tried to NK me.
Let's see. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, as I'm going to attempt this from memory:
Sorcerers knew Boddy (Made)
There's a seemer (Dom) I really thought this was clever and that it would bring Dom back into the game.
DON't TRUST PICTURES (Bass)
Who is dead (Roxy)
Tyler Durden lies (llama) He originally sent in "Boomslang is bad" but changed when he saw Boom was going down.
Daisy killed me (Russ)
Abed is Batman (TH)
Wisdom Courage Power (nijuu)
I had no idea what I was going to do when bea signed up. I spent a couple of hours thinking about it. I couldn't just add a 31st role (even a secret one) because everyone would know bea had it. When, after the game began, you PMed me with the "Ah, so they are the Doctor and a companion," I thought, "Well damn, that would have been a good idea too!"S~V~S wrote:Also Gleeok got changed, very clever way to work in that 31st player Epi

Re: The Syndicate 2014 Game of Champions [ENDGAME]
SUCH a fun game Epi. Thank you to everyone who made it so fun!
BTSC was hit or miss for Bea and I b/c of busy schedules I suppose. After Bea had posted about her trust in me since receiving her role PM, I felt the need to reciprocate so that you all didn't suspect her wrongly. It got out of hand I guess, but I didn't realize it at the time. Like Bea, I didn't know I was doing anything wrong. I read through the rules several times before posting about my trust of Bea. I wanted to make sure I was not role outing whatsoever. And really, I didn't. No one knew we were gleeok. However, I hate that our explicit trust of each other ruined fun for others and I apologize for it.bea wrote:I feel very torn and upset by this whole thing. Because I guess I keep thinking I know where the line is and then I over step it. I honestly don't think I did anything wrong this game. If anyone wants to search my posts and PLEASE tell me where I did anything wrong. Do it and PM it to me because I want to be a better player and I *though* was was becoming one.
I literally feel sick to my stomach that I helped make this game so unenjoyable for so many people. I want to get better but if I'm not shown better ways of playing things, I can't learn. Show me how civ bts was played better. Then I can learn.
Banners are cool, but a pain to scroll through so...
I've won a lot of games. I've hosted some games. The end.

But we like the letter Z more than the rest of the world, so we say criticize instead of criticise. In this I dissent from my countrymen, as I find Z to be horribly crass and vulgar.Long Con wrote:I just prefer to spell things correctly whenever possible.

Re: The Syndicate 2014 Game of Champions [ENDGAME]
I hope it's just a break, Snowy
I'm resuming my break now, so I'll see when I'm up to the task again. I get so involved in these games it would be hard to stay sane playing too frequently.

That's a problem.
Honestly, this is the second game on this site that has been absolutely DESTROYED because of info dumping and role outing. There's good in info dumping, but there's also, "hey i'm not bad and it rhymes with "prom".

I've been trying to figure out how you "out" someone as opposed to accuse them. If you "out" them does that basically mean you info dumped about them? Because building a case on them to be someone in particular obviously isn't outting - it's building a case.
