Why haven't you played a game of survivor?
Just what the title says.
I'm curious for the people on this site who have never stepped over to the ORG side why not? No interest? No real understanding of the how the games work? Never thought about it?

For me this was a big thing as well. I definitely feel like the commitment in mafia vs survivor is not even comparable. You simply can't be successful without fully committing to playing the game.In post 2, Dannflor wrote: For me, the biggest reason I used to not play, and the biggest reason I don’t sign up for every game, is the difference in time commitment expectations between a mafia game and a survivor game. If you log on once a day every couple days in a mafia game you can perform pretty well. Try that in a survivor game and you’ll be lucky to make it past the first vote.tout comprendre c'est tout pardonner-

Yeah if you're not proactive with the social aspect (messaging people, forming bonds with other players, etc) you're going to have a rough time. Challenges in survivor games in particular kinda mostly exist as a driver of action rather than a thing to do in their own right, though I did have some challenges I've really enjoyed both in the game I ran and in the games I played.tout comprendre c'est tout pardonner-

We're about to run a discord marathon game coming up which is one of the reasons I started this thread, because for me the long commitment time was a big deal. Do you think you would enjoy it more if the commitment was limited to a more discrete 3-5 hour time block on one day rather than the more extended formats of the forum games?tout comprendre c'est tout pardonner-

Yeah it is my experience that newbies are frequently extremely worried about being seen as too active or present when in fact there really is no such thing.tout comprendre c'est tout pardonner-

I think you'll find that while charisma does matter in survivor there is a lot of room to maneuver and play strategically which does not require you to be the most charismatic person. Social is only one part of the game.tout comprendre c'est tout pardonner
