its just fol, really.

#82

I would rather not cross Organ Grinder off as “a role that can never be played on FOL, because there is zero faith in Town’s ability to play a social game”. This is a Mafia site, people aren’t just completely hopeless.

#83

its easier to do this on longform for sure
its just
honestly not super fun to play that way
its like flashback to amelia’s games where they didnt post any vote counts

Well, yeah. The Demon could kill the Courtier and end the drunk effect, thus restoring the OG’s ability. That would confirm the Courtier.

#85

I’ve said before that I generally expect the best of FOL’s townplay.

#86

basically
vote tracking is optimal
but i definitely am not signing up for this game because i want to vote track
its just
not fun to be expected to do that

#87

So then don’t vote track. It might be harder to identify prospective Organ Grinder candidates in that case, but nobody has to play in any way they don’t want to.

#88

to the extent your issue is ‘not wanting to vote track’ as opposed to ‘everything else about the script,’ you could potentially (with light host cooperation, i.e. doing the vote-count-starter thing) vote track by just

voting with the vote tag system

if you want to vote yes on multiple people you can put them all in one post

yeah
the problem there is that if you don’t vote track then you lose to vortox because of the ties :wowee:
thats why playing this script doesnt sound fun to me

#90

personally my goal is to vote a demon or vote a town depending upon my alignment
if we all followed my votes we don’t have to worry about ties

I’d be okay with posting votecounts with player’s claimed votes, with their real hidden votes deciding the executions.

#92

Litten’s joining as the Butcher though.
This might just be a perceived issue with the Organ Grinder, given that every new script I’ve seen also has a Vortox on it. I don’t think tying on the highest votes by mistake is likely to happen, so I’d be surprised.

#93

uh. yeah, thats not true :wowee:

also butcher says “after the 1st execution” so no exe → no butcher exe
its not fundamentally a problem its just
i personally think it isnt fun
that doesnt mean its bad

#94

I’m joining in as the scapecoat acfually, while being the butcher is cool I like the other social aspects of the other roles more

What I think is likely to happen is that one or two people are going to receive a lot of votes each day, and everyone else will receive a few at most.

#96

i guess my largest problem is that nothing about this script feels appealing to me
all the things that are unappealing are a side-thing

#97

This is meant to be a relatively simple script. Legion stands out, but none of the other roles majorly warp the game.

#98

i wanna play interesting scripts basically

#99

That’s valid, but not my intention. If this was a Leviathan script, focus would go to the Leviathan over the Organ Grinder, as an example.

#100

is cannibal told what their new ability is?
