BOTC/BOTF Discussion Thread 2

i think it does, so invest isn’t completely just worse than it would be if it wasn’t there

even if it doesn’t a surprise vizier exe at least confirms invest is in play

To be fair the invest is confirmed!

Oh no… yeah no that’s not a 7P script, nah.

Watch Midnight get 20 players when I’m STing that.

I was recently wondering about the preferred voting systems for BOTF on FoL, because everyone feels differently about them and share their thoughts all over the shop. So I posted a centralised poll to condense the popular votes.

Which BOTF voting systems are you most comfortable with?
  • Tight Classic (Multi-Voting, votes lock in a circle, requires a 50% majority)
  • Loose Classic (Multi-Voting without locked votes, requires a 50% majority)
  • Mafia-Adjacent (Singular + Plurality voting)
  • Hybrid (Multi + Plurality voting)

0 voters

This is just more of a personal question, but I’m dying to know.

Which BOTF whispering systems would you be most comfortable with?
  • Limited (A select number of whispers for each player per day)
  • Unlimited (Players can whisper as many times as desired)
  • No Neighbour Whispers (Players have to announce whispering their neighbours)
  • Closed Neighbour Whispers (Players can send an unannounced 15 word message to both neighbours each day)
  • Open Neighbour Whispers (Players can silently whisper their neighbours as many times during the day as desired)
  • Demon Whisper (Each Demon can send an unannounced 15 word message to anyone once per game)

your second poll doesn’t distinguish between “non-neighbor whispers must explicitly be announced” (as is standard on FoL and BotCU, but not everywhere) and “not that”

Why do people prefer limited whispers? Is it because it encourages people to talk & share info in thread?

ya, unlimited whispers also makes it easier for good and longform botc is already fairly townsided

Litten and I used to whisper and unwhisper each other like once every 5 minutes

That’s fine and healthy

Changed my vote to make it closer

Unlimited whisper reenactment:

And then this repeats indefinitely

I prefer limited because it’s more realistic.
If you were playing in person you can’t exactly talk to the entire group in 1 day
I say because I play in person and usually have 15+ players in a game.

It’s much more likely you’ll speak to like 3-5 and it gets less and less because STs will speed games up as they go along.

Is the alternative just EIMM voting where you can whisper anyone whenever silently?

Yeah

or like theoretically you could have whisper limits + all whispers silent

I didn’t consider that as an option because it just sounded antithetical to BotC.

okay but counterpoint
a whisper window like an ita window is a better idea than limited whispers
