I am bad at flavor and -while I have yet to search for more flavor writers- I don’t have any good experience entrusting this matter to another person (e.g., co-host) in my time as a host at FoL.
(I do have one fond memory in my homesite though, when I’d hosted a princess-themed FoL.)
Personally I tend to do game with flavour cause I’m not so good at coming up with ideas on my own and flavour incorporation gives me a good jumping off point to do weird stuff. It gives me ideas
me when i decide to read Plutarch et al for peak accurate flavor
Yah. I think if you’re not personally passionate about flavour and you don’t consider yourself good at it and you don’t have somebody to entrust then it’s not the place you go to improve games. May as well just make a game more mechanically interesting cause it’s got better returns per unit of effort
I don’t know if I’d be good at writing flavour. Like flavour-flavour. I haven’t really tried it. I make roles and shit based off stuff but I don’t. Like. Do writing. I always skip over flavour in mafia games I play I never read it. So it’s not something I care about
In my case, I am inspired by many things as is, and I use those inspirations to make new setups. (Case in point: Encroaching Darkness was born from the small talk I had regarding irregular phase lengths.)
To me, flavor is akin to an additional workload that restricts its future iterations. Each cycle, a story occurs. However, each cycle’s story generally doesn’t flow naturally with its past iterations. Then there is the matter of what actions should be revealed to the public while ensuring the narrative makes sense. It– It’s just too much for me.
The best I can offer is just an opening and an ending. (FTR, these are from different games.)
YUP. THIS 
nyaaaaaaaaaa I think flavor can sometimes improve a mafia game a good amount
I am very bad at writing flavor tho
i randomly remembered one time going out with my friends. walking in the evening / night. conversations come and go. at one point its just suddenly about hating queer people. my friend who was walking in front of me starting going off on this guy about how he looks like [redacted redacted redacted]. a singer celebrity. other friends in the back i overhear them talking about how [redacted redacted]. im redacting coz i dont wanna upset people. im not upset im jaded by most stuff. and like what was the whole point? they weren’t even talking about specific people that they know iirc. just people theyve heard about
at my second uni, bulgarian guy schoolmate starts going off once about the discord admin who was trans. neither of us knew her, her name, anything. he found a picture of her on twitter, sends it to me and goes off about how ugly and gross and [redacted redacted]. and im like wtf. she literally didnt even say anything to u, u dont know her. that was my first time talking to him in a while, and like, thats the most interesting thing he deemed to say. i was confident enough at this point to scold / reprimand a bit. i wasnt in the first case
another case. new years eve at our place. mom’s colleague invited. watching tv. guest goes off about how the singer [redacted redacted] and my dad joins in. and then another singer, and again. so much visceral hate and anger around me all the time. difficult to escape it
i have a lot of anxiety attached towards being called gay or something like that. if it happened it means the person hated me and more harassment might follow. its an interesting experience when the people in my internet friend circles all go “gay gay gay” in positive / affirming connotations. my gut reaction is to think “do these people have a death wish?”. its such like a. polarizing experience (like me in mafia). like when u go from sauna to outside in the snow
ishmael you got so bailed by the game going into ot
gods fave daughter what can i say
youre too good for eastern europe it doesn’t deserve you
a somewhat comforting thought is that im pretty sure the people that think that, think that in passing, and don’t actually hold a passionate hatred toward gay people but rather an ignorant one
his break taught me that you can take the tutuu out of the fol but you cant take the fol out of the tutuu
ignore the fact like 5 separate people were waiting for tutuu to come back
and tutuus brief bulgarian bigot arc when he came back
you cannot take the tutuu out of fol hes the literal lifeblood
whats todays story
im so tempted to drop £1000 on betting that kamala will win
I give her a 75/25. if i gambled I’d do it
