FAM3: REDEMPTION [THREAD 5] - [d4 - TOWN WIN] FAM3 if Marluxion was instantaneously killed (real)

@Geyde

ok so

uh

thanks other hosts so fucking much you made this so much more possible than I initially expected. While working on the setup in may, I was dreading running this game because it seemed initially impossible for me because of work. I had a lot of it and it was turning out to essentially mean that there was no way I could mainhost this. so uh

@Arete thanks for mainhosting this. I really appreciated all the effort you put into this game. I say you should have given more time for yourself, but I don’t know what would have happened if you weren’t here. Your contribution was utterly essential and I cannot help but owe my apologies for not helping you at times. Additionally, your contribution in kicking off role design gave me a ton of ideas that eventually made it into the final setup.

@katze fuck you.

@notblackorwhite fam1 was a pretty milquetoast game, reeking of first draft syndrome, being undercooked in several places, and being host to one of the biggest controversies in FoL history. Your contributions to review and in handling the moderation side of the game took FAM2/3, games that could have been incredibly mid, and lifted them up into games I am actively proud of and feel comfortable talking about outside the FoL space.

@Ruby I was wrong. Your roles were based. Wolf Shopkeeper GOATed. I already talked to you about the setup so I’ll keep it short. I wish I talked to you more before we shipped the thing, because you had a lot of valuable insights that would have improved the game substantially.

@Icibalus based crackhead design lmao

I thank you all and all the players for helping to make sure the game was as good as it could have been

wild how ur just able to insult katze like this

[Geyde]

game retrospective (design end):

It was good. I think we made roles that people were significantly happier with because we removed the degree of edge and rudeness that was present in fam2. I came into the design with the goal of hyping people up rather than making jokes at their expense. While this did make for ~less funny roles overall (I don’t think we can ever top self-poisoner trochi), it meant a lot to everyone. Switching from quotes to blurbs also helped remove the edge since many quotes were just kinda goofy and making fun of people.

I think we needed another pass at mafia. @Ruby gave me a lot of suggestions regarding the mafia roles that sadly didn’t make it to the final version. They should have. Stuff like not being able to claim being ransomwared, recalculating the kp of the setup reviewer, and buffing up the d3+ dayvig slightly would have gone great lengths toward ensuring the game was better balanced on the mafia end. Further, a lot of town roles were loud and pretty blatantly village, which was unarguably a mistake. I chalk it up to Gray’s understanding of how players handle mechanics to not be ~perfectly transferrable to a site like FoL. If I design next year, I am going to reformat my approach with this in mind. We hilariously miscalculated litten, and the town kp was possibly too good and durable.

As for gushing, the DNDHOOD WENT PERFECTLY ILY EEVEE. holy fuck I’ve never seen stars align as perfectly as they did this game for that role. Seeing people defend their dnd partners in thread under the premise of “I want to play with them” is so heartwarming and a sign that everything went perfectly there.

[benguinedparbecue]

that’s kind of incredible maybe i deserved to be the last miskill. one for the road

[Geyde]

I do not know whether I will design again next year. It feels necessary in my eyes, but I don’t know. It really is…a lot.

[Jarek]

I checked maf chat and I all saw was the word polarised over and over

what does that mean

[Geyde]

The Grimace died in a drone strike

[Jarek]

I looked the word up in the context of a person and I still don’t get it

[Geyde]

actual answer:

polarised means very obviously one alignment or the other
there’s more nuance but it really doesn’t matter

[Arete]

basically, someone with a stark and visible difference between their town and mafia play, which typically leads to them being very easily cleared as town, and being outed right away as mafia

[Achromatic]

Easy to tell if town or scum because they play different

[YoubutWorse]

im now looking trhough some of my past games after believing my maf and town gameplay are pretty similar and like
woah
no they arent
i am so scummy when im scum lmao maybe its just bc its me but like i am SO different as town lmao

[Jarek]

aww come on I’m not that obvious
