FAM2 Game Thread 4 - Day 5 - The Mafia (and Italy) have won!

12/12 takes half as long to finish as 24/24 does

also posts happen at same speed still, just for less time

last point is valid but that’s part of the mash experience

true
but for some reason my brain interprets 12/12 as chore and longer periods as “thing you occasionally do to have fun”

no i definitely agree 12/12 has much different pacing than 24/24

exactly
if people know they have 12 hours to post
they’ll do so much more quickly than if they have 24 hours

Agreed I like 24/24 cause I usally have more time at nights currently and not being as stressed to be there in those hours I work is very nice.

How come people think mashes should have shorter phase times like, if there are more people, shouldn’t there be more time for people to have their voice heard?

i think the inherent problem is that games are expected to take longer if they have more people
though i guess that’s offset by the average 4 kpn + some dayvigs + executions + the clusterfuck that is ita phases

Oh yes like the inherited vig

an average midsized mash typically lasts about 5-7 phases

playing a game as big and time-intensive as a mash, with 48/24 phases, would mean 2-3 weeks of just the mash

24/24 is definitely far better than I initially thought
You can multitab it with normal life things

I do think 24/24 mashes should slant higher on the kp though since they still are a massive brain drain

Like I give a damn about those voices

more accurately it’s just that it’s absurdly exhausting alongside basically killing the site outside the game for that period

This game was pretty unfair day-start wise
had it started at like…noon or one pm est I think it’d pan out much better

12/12 sucks for me because my timezone is the opposite of Europeans so I get like 1 hour per day if I’m lucky depending on gamestart

24/24 means everyone gets a solid period to play in
