not for filling a game. your testament argueably had more flavor than the other games because it had a joke around it that was public!
i personally don’t care much
I also don’t really care
well ik a bunch of people are more inclined to join a game if they like the flavor it just doesn’t impact the game Negatively usually
for special games
not vanilla ones
Hm… Maybe I should actually put a stop on my setups for a month or six and see how the queue fares.
Nah. They gave priorities to other games so I wouldn’t have to host back-to-back-to-back.
yeah that was part of me slotting in a mountainous
giving you a break
I’d try to host a special game (probably mad17 i liked that) but i have other things im poised to host
I’ll be real here: I see myself as a decent host who can host back-to-back-to-back.
As far as I am concerned, I have the same opinion as Eliza in the sense that I worry more about others not submitting their own setups because my setups already exist.
do you got the drink in you tho
…? I don’t understand the question.
this is a weird music reference dw
…okay, in hindsight this triggers me more than it should have.
Let's take a trip down memory lane, shall we?
- Stratagem-14; a Stratagem setup designed by Zugzwang and edited to my preference by me. Cancelled presumably because the power roles did not appeal enough people to join.
- Vote-a-Life; a vote-centered setup where roles don’t flip and vote shenanigans roam due to the invisible existence of “private votes”.
- Dust & Vashes; an open setup from another site, slightly edited to match FoL’s levels.
- Death’s Wind; an open setup from another site, slightly edited to match FoL’s levels. Cancelled presumably because the power roles are boring and/or unfun.
- Glorious Victory; a deceiving setup where the majority of the roles are effectively useless. Cancelled presumably because of the dispute regarding the bastard tag.
- April Showers Recontructed; a sequel setup of April Showers Overhaul, taking account of the feedback from its predecessor while maintaining the general structure of the setup.
- Paradox Hazard; a manipulation-centered setup where action resolution was of importance. Though, I feel like I could’ve done a better job emphasizing this aspect somehow.
- Wrogn; a semi-open setup where power roles see roles they are not. Cancelled presumably because it was a semi-open setup with known amounts of power roles.
- The Cyberiad Overhaul; a “modifier”-centered setup where removing said modifiers would either buff or nerf other roles. Unfortunately the Normalizers died early and the game ended abruptly due to the Neutral’s win condition.
- Restless Spirits; a dead-interaction-centered setup where all players would still be able to play the game even after death. Cancelled presumably because people were not fond of dead interaction.
- Zone’s Testament; a minimalistic setup, proving that all my efforts into making flavor and neat formatting were for naught.
- Stratagem-13; a Stratagem setup.
- Stratagem-15; a Stratagem setup.
- Undertale Overhaul; an overhaul of my first setup, which was very much unbalanced. IIRC I asked Achro to handle flavor text, but since that never happened, I didn’t bother making any flavor beyond the SOD1 flavor.
- Stratagem-17; a Stratagem setup. Cancelled presumably because people didn’t want to handle with fake and quack items.
- True Majority; a low-power setup inspired by eevee’s categorization of the voting system.
- April Showers Overhaul; an overhaul setup based on a setup of Osie. It had room for improvement, as some players showed dissatisfaction with their roles.
- Stratagem-27; a Stratagem setup.
- Stratagem-21; a flipless Stratagem setup. Cancelled presumably because players did not favor games with dead interaction.
- Hell Echoes; a messy setup from a time when I cared less about the cohesion and meaning of a setup.
- Stratagem-10; a Stratagem setup.
- Corrupt Votes II; a vote-centered setup where everyone could spend their points to gain advantage over other players. Cancelled presumably because the purchasable abilities were unbalanced and/or unfun.
Wow uh… I sure have many cancelled setups. But the point is: I don’t understand where the feeling of “factory-made” comes from. Other than the Stratagem setups, I feel like all my games have been unique.
Like, the only thing that I can think of is the fact that I keep using the same format. (Which I have standardized, because making different OPs for each game is a chore that the majority of the players simply don’t appreciate.)
(before you read this i would like to illiterate this is a joke) Remove the role that removes the hazards XD.
yeaaaaa sorry i kinda suck at words sometimes
zone setups all any
13 town
4 mafia
every zone role ever is possible
woukd actually in for this
That would be a hassle.
I don’t think I have enough niches / themas / focuses to work with. I have voting and manipulation from Vote-a-Life and Paradox Hazard (and arguably the entire April Shower Series depend on hoods), but… I still need more.
*looks at Chaos Revisited*
Way ahead of you.
holy shit zone all any
