Hello, I am the new player who had never heard of a soup kill before. But it was explained in the game thread early D1, but I misunderstood or misread it (common for me). I knew it meant scum could kill someone based purely on role or character, but I didn't realize it was more than one character or that the kills would not be capped. I thought I understood, but I didn't. Not having the mechanics of the soup kill explained was def a detriment to me and my play, and I would *not* have claimed if I properly understood how the soup kill worked. I know now that maybe it should have been obvious to me because it is called "soup" kill, so multiple ingredients to make a soup = multiple kills in the soup, but it didn't dawn on me til much too late. I'm sorry for the shite play, I think I might just stay away from bigger games for a bit since I have a lot to learn and don't want to mess up the funs for anyone else on my team who's working hard to pull a win for their faction.MartinGG99 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 05, 2021 8:51 pm idk what you all are on about the soup kill, it was warned and so it happened. But I would imagine if there hypothetically was a new player who didn't know what a soup kill was, there probably should be some sort of clarification of what that soup-kill was and/or its extent. Other than that, I had no problems with the mechanic.
One of my personal issues with the game is that I feel the game/town wouldn't let me kill !mafia LoMo for his actions during the event, and I feel like some parts of the game inhibited my scum-hunting and focus.
And because of that, I didn't really learn anything nor feel like I will improve in any way from the game other than to more actively consider such distractions and (if its just unnecessary like toxicity) consider just leaving the game or contacting the MoD's myself (if applicable) if I encounter it in the future. If I don't feel like I could learn or improve from a game, then I hardly can feel fun if I'm trying to give it all at times. Especially since this was my first town game after three back-to-back wolf rands. This? it was a massive disappointment to me for what I (admittedly, half-my-problem) put my hopes really high up for.
I'm not going to start pointing fingers at anyone though.
I will say though, now that I better understand the way the soup kill works, I don't think me pointing out Guillo's fake kill claim would have killed me faster, bc everyone knew there was a vig shot meaning my role existing in the game was pretty much outed when Mac turned up dead n red. Especially since the soup kill didn't require specifics for it to be counted, just character or power role, I think that vig spot was done for regardless and it was just a matter of waiting for scum to attempt a kill with a longer list. It did however give scum more information in that they now had more hunting to do to discover Guillo's role, meaning they'd have the potential for another kill in the soup.
Thanks for mostly bearing with my noobliness, folks.
