instead of the hot mess voting system
she put it as basically like the fm voting system
everyone has one vote
whoever has most votes at eod is executed
if youre dead and end the day voting then you use your deadvote
as a player it was 10x easier to track the wagons and removed a lot of the information overload that i didnt like about older botcs (especially not a specific somebody using flowrgirl as an excuse to not post votecounts ever)
You underrate my ability
(Unfortunately yes)
Lmao
Yeah this works
Has different dynamics but probably more fun for long form
Deadvote expending is an interesting choice
It incentivizes you not to self pres if you think there’s a high chance you go over
CFDs get a little weirder too
i didnt explain it the best
its if youre already dead during the day
you dont expend deadvote if your executed during the same day you vote (although i dont think that came up)
You can’t really get rid of noms because of the sheer number of interactions
Which is unfortunate given that they don’t really work that good on forum format?
You could custom a list to not have them which would be based
Ooooh yeah that makes sense
Ideally you get the game’s voting system reasonably close to fm
Irl mafia also tends to use noms and you see how those got phased out
Outside of that
Some roles are reaaaally busted on forum format (spy is my favorite example since it’s actually kinda shit irl)
Not sure how I feel about forum whispers
It’s genuinely a strange case where they have some benefits some cons
I’d try to float them still but
And most importantly evil twin should NEVER EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE BE ON A LONGFORM FORUM GAME
I’ll say most of the advantages of botc are entirely due to how it works irl
It also works online but to a lessened degree
I cannot emphasize enough how it’s the best in person social deduction game
A lot of it has to do with player’s ability to remember things
Essentially it boils down to minimizing the fluff that comes with irl and emphasizing the advantages of forum
Potentially you also massively rebalance but it’s not strictly necessary outside of a few key points
SnV > TB for Forum
This is my one allotted hot take
