yeah

as it turns out, being able to perfectly block without taking burn is really good

swapper was probably the single most powerful one outside of lair of evil

kinda feel like coerceā€™s multiplier was too low - I was spending 40 energy to maybe burn 10, which didnā€™t feel great

I think my overall strategy of ā€˜make everyone else the threatā€™ generally worked, but I didnā€™t really need coerce to do that; if anything, coerce made me more likely to get targeted

I think (I hope) less frustrations than the previous attempt of this game. Still room for improvement. Iā€™d probably take a more direct approach next time during the power design phase, and try to make it so window to submit and resolve the powers arenā€™t all over the place. Ideally rounds donā€™t take 48+ hours due to depending on other people to submit. Nightmare for people with different timezones. That was my biggest gripe personally. Ideally low-effort misc, not high effort :sweat_smile:

I will try a (mostly) dictatorship approach next time during the design phase. This was the democracy attempt. Dictatorship next, and then we can compare

swapper with insect swarm was a great combination.
On itself, I couldnā€™t have done much which either. (which immedietly was shown, once Hazard stole swapper from me.)

i wont lie. i could have played this game so much better.

it was well-run. the scale of complexity of this game was massive, and billion different variables is so hard to juggle.

dictatorship next time seems like good idea

but getting joint 3rd is a feat for a gambler

(also my bet on insect swarm was a joke I made in last minute, when I realized I have only did bet on 7 powers, I wasnā€™t expecting to win that power with only 1 costā€¦)

this game had alot of hinesights due to this being my first run around.
i think now i have a better idea on balances i could probably make better abilities.

And we can never assume that people understand our intent. That much is clear. We take a lot of things for granted in communication and then weā€™re surprised when other people donā€™t look at it that way at all

yeah. although hazzy 10000% bailed me out, the big punch / lair of evil combo was huge and losing bigpunch meant i could do ~no damage for the rest of the game. full defense build
