Me on my way to absolutely torpedo my application to work on the FAM5 team before the year is out.
In reality, this probably gets rejected because I donāt think that fits the design ethos of FAM, which is intended to be āmafia game but scaled up as large as possibleā. The idea is to be accessible to anyone in the mafia community, and multiple mafias complicates things too much.
This is also why my pitch to Arete on a design framework for FAM5 got rejected, but thatās neither here nor there.
multiball mashes have been done before they just arenāt fun
Final FAM4 thoughts:
- ITAs were handled really well, though benguined being the only(?) person to die from going to 0 might indicate that thereās potentially room to make the shots themselves deal more damage.
- It still kinda blows my mind that, as far as I can tell, the GMs are resolving the shots by hand. I guess automation just isnāt nearly fast enough to capture that stuff, but itās a terrifying thing to imagine dealing with.
- Iām wondering if mafia needs to be buffed past 25% of all living players at the start of the game? Would naturally need to be announced ahead of time, but FAM3 was a sweep and FAM4 ended with 1 mafia versus, like, 19 town members.
- I feel like there were a lot of roles designed specifically to target low-posting players (Zugzwangās starting role and the benguined role come to mind), which is a clever system for dealing with a game this large (if a tad bit overused within FAM4 itself).
- Playing with the player list is a cool mechanic that should come back.
- I know Nbowie mentioned that roles were, across the board, way too long, but I think that wouldāve been fine if those long roles were accompanied by a basic overview of how the role is intended to be played.
Thatās about it from me.
Do note that these thoughts come from someone who was completely checked out of the game, so take 'em with a grain of salt.

ā¦he put himself at 5 and then announced it. the prize from an event 8 people won anonymously was a 5mt hidden dayvig
Yeah, that was a bit blatant.
Extremely funny, though.
Donāt worry. You are unique.
Just like everyone else.
I once had that mindset as well.
Then I gave up striving for being unique.
i want to learn how to dance and shake my butt really fast. thats my dream. dance and shake my butt
Focus on your leg movement alone, then your hand movement alone, then combine them.

YOU WERE A PROFESSIONAL DANCER?!?!?!
Not professional by any means - this was before I was diagnosed with Crohnās, so elementary and middle school - but I learned it as an extracurricular.
what song did you dance to. can you remember one?
my extracurricular was the club. i was really embarassed unless i was drunk. in hindsight it was a lot of fun and i wish i could do it again
The ones I remember are:
- Bang Bang, from the Hindi film of the same name
- Badtameez Dil from Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani (really good film)
- Something from a Varun Dhawan film
- Eega, from the Telugu film of the same name
- Dangal, from the Hindi film of the same name
More will probably appear to me eventually.
