leviathan is perfectly fine, its just slow

#15028

what does leviathan do again

#15029

do you wanna hear the dumbest botc game ive ever played

#15030

ā€œIf more than 1 good player is executed, evil wins. All players know you are in play. After day 5, evil wins.ā€

cant kill, good cant execute much.

#15031

pretty much all of botc is a slap to my face
thereā€™s so much shit thatā€™s just ā€œthere because why notā€

#15032

back to
I can see how it would do that but that is the role functioning normally

Organ Grinder is a processing slowdown rather than a game slowdown

botcā€™s design philosophy is ā€œcharacters are overpowered or break the rules but balance each other outā€.
TB is the best example of this

I donā€™t much dislike botcā€™s design from the limited amount of time Iā€™ve spent it
Itā€™s functional

I donā€™t think its stated goal reflects in the hypeness of the game
the ideal of having overpowered mechanics is it being sick as fuck

But thatā€™s the tragedy of mafia-likes
Being sick isnā€™t usually a good idea

Itā€™s more of a marvel of design mastery to make the system function well than something Iā€™d like to play

i love it when two people whisper and then those guys whisper two other people and thenā€¦

the major advantage of whispers is that they enable interesting information-based plays but in reality, they just serve to centralize information
your system is never supplemented by whispers it is going to have its back broken by them

they certainly reward people in the know but those outside the know (see botf2) genuinely arenā€™t playing the game at a certain point

and this of course ignores the fact that mafia is a party game at the end of the day. whispers kind of ignore the things youā€™d want in a party game

yes but its very non-descript and 90% of the time you get execute for it anyways

#15046

this is commonplace
at least in unofficial
