hypothetically if a vigilante targeted a thing who was assimilating another player and there are no other night actions, what happens?Kills resolve before assimilation, so both the Thing and their nightkill target would flip as having died.free crypto-

it's way late for me so i don't have time for full thoughts but basically: assimilation mechanic never came into play because town stomped from very early on, unfortunate but sometimes thats the way it goes. there are obvious obstacles to the mechanic of scum jumping to a new account that make it tricky/intimidating to use, some of these can be compensated for but if i ran a game like this again i'd have to clarify things/add mechanics to make assimilation more favorable. for an initial run of the setup i wanted to make it reasonably simple, though. had idea for some complex item based mechanics but cut them down to make something more familiar to most players. maybe more tomorrow.free crypto-

i do think revealing the things had no power roles was a mistake, i somewhat absent-mindedly gave that info out in the setup posts without thinking about the implications. that being said, the only confirmable power roles in the setup were the friendly neighbor, which cleared itself regardless, and the vig, which is basically always town in MS site meta. i suppose the motion detector could confirm itself too but that's a somewhat unlikely scenario.In post 984, mastina wrote:Btw on the setup:
I feel like this setup would be balanced if it was not known the Things had no power roles, but knowing that every power role had to be town, I do think the setup was townsided, here.
For it to not be, assimilation needed to be more viable than it actually was. I thought that we had only three power roles--the 1x cop, the 1x "messenger" (friendly neighbor), and the 1x vig--because that was three conftown, and that wemaybehad room for like a 1x doctor (or as it turned out, x-shot bodyguard).
With the knowledge that Things had no PRs, that's about the level I'd expect for town power, but we had another investigative on top of that.
If we didn't have the knowledge of Things not having PRs, then I think the town has the perfect level of town power; this setup would be close to the balanced range in a mini normal, for instance. The lack of flips and Things having the assimilation mechanic would aid the scum, as would the lack of knowing for sure some things.
But imo, it needed to be one of the two, not both.
We needed either fewer PRs with the knowledge we had, or the number of PRs with less knowledge than we had.
That said, obviously, scum elimination with scum guilty and town being right on the third meant scum got a disproportionately bad start, and I think the win wasmostlyfrom good play, but I def think it was townsided at least somewhat.
it is hard to assess balance when town stomps, i think the power obviously had a cumulative strength since town rolled, the intention was building in some redundancy to counteract the no reveals + assimilation mechanics. I think, for instance, the 1-shot cop is much less powerful when getting a clear because town can't be assured the cop or his clear are legitimate, and even if they are, if they haven't been jumped on later days. motion detector in most instances is unlikely to get anything useful at all. i think probably the vig was underestimated in review where it was seen as being mostly antitown, which was probably not correct.
but yeah basically was counting on the prs being less useful than they actually werefree crypto
