i do have some regrets about how absurdly unfair the parachute challenge was
and the mental strain it caused
but on the other hand
town really could've just forced everyone to leave the parachutes and use it like a double elimination.
its just greed won outShow"I hope one day I can openly play as wolfy as Pooky and get zero pressure for it grumble grumble."

this is what I said in the dead PT about the idea behind the gameIn post 185, PookyTheMagicalBear wrote:In post 141, numberQ wrote:Yeah the chute faking thing was dumb af. But, to be fair, that whole event was pretty dumb. A blemish on an otherwise pretty interesting and fun setup.
ok so this chute thing
was really about
capitalism vs socialism
and greed versus the collectivism
like the ideal way town should play that
is to let all the chutes drop
and then decide collectively who should get chutes and who should be left behind
instead greed won
it's really about the human condition
and how our base instincts win out over our better angels
there was DEEP MEANING involved
for reals
I wasn't drunk when I came up with it
and I think it does embody the spirit of Squid Game,
The scum were very effective at changing the narrative from "let's find bad guys" to "let's beat team tryhard cuz lol troll"
And I think if they had just stuck with that line, FB could've maintained his hold over the Clown team and maybe yeeted Koba.
It's actually surprising to me Koba managed to overrun the Clowns.Show"I hope one day I can openly play as wolfy as Pooky and get zero pressure for it grumble grumble."

i literally done nothing to u, and if i had my way this game of stealing more chutes i most likely would have given u one.
i wanted to take chutes to deny team trying chutes.Show"You are the Joker of mafia players" - Oversoul

Be honest, when designing this did you think there was any chance at all of this happening?In post 4976, PookyTheMagicalBear wrote:town really could've just forced everyone to leave the parachutes and use it like a double elimination.
I wanted to do it, but I knew when I suggested it that it was never going to work.It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!-

I didn't expect the town to be able to control any of the eliminations in the first three games.In post 4984, Something_Smart wrote:

Leaving the parachutes wasn't a viable plan imo because we had no way of knowing if we could actually enforce policy lims on that basis. Also, policy lims kinda stink
No I don't !! It was that if I didn't pick up at all then Loki would have grabbed for GammaPookyTheMagicalBear wrote:its funny cuz dwlee also thinks gamma was on team tryhard hehe

It's hard to design for balance because you don't know which players are going to occupy which spots.
You just kind of hope that the game is close enough that both sides have a chance of winning at the end.Show"I hope one day I can openly play as wolfy as Pooky and get zero pressure for it grumble grumble."

I mean you did know the town would be able to enforce policy elims because one of the tenets of Mafia Games on this Website is that the town must be able to win easily if the player cards are all revealed otherwise it would not be defined as Mafia.In post 4990, Dwlee99 wrote:Leaving the parachutes wasn't a viable plan imo because we had no way of knowing if we could actually enforce policy lims on that basis.
