    MVP rankings can suck a dick.

    Was basically a vanilla townie that survived for a while, FoS lists were nigh on spot on AFAICR and EO was made redundant by the game panning out as not planned.

    GAH! If only you'd told me what the options were, I would have taken the risk. Just thought there was a very high risk that I was being fucked with and would somehow take out someone very important. As it is, I probably killed more people than the Bounty Hunters. :fp:

    So... You 'chose' that I killed both Townies I visited. Bastard. Still, I had a pretty damn good Hit Rate on Mafia, and the fact that I'd killed the two Townies I visited pretty much made me confident Furball was mafia; especially when he tried to defend what was - at that stage - only an interesting observation and not a FoS. Definitely hope that I managed to redeem Jar Jar after SW1.

    Should never choose results :/

    I'm actually bored of your criticisms because if anything at all varies from the norm then it's disastrous.

    Shame that Riddydink couln't destroy the death star. Would have been the best thing ever.

    No, I've praised your game and there were many innovative elements that I think were great. However, there are some things that should just never happen. "Choosing" the outcomes is one of them.

    You are basically manipulating the game to end in the result you want. No matter how good of a story teller you are, you can't run a good mafia game when you, as the mod, actively make things go the way you want.

    It wasn't to manipulate the game or the result though, just the role/character of Jar Jar. I created a set of rules for the role at the beginning, (cannot kill mafia, for example) and followed them in order to make the role interesting and enjoyable.

    I'm not ashamed to admit there was lots and lots of bastard modding in order to shake things up. I wasn't looking for a great mafia game in the purist sense of the word.

    "Bastard games are notoriously difficult to do well. Most moderators' bastard setups will be imbalanced or not fun for some other reason. This doesn't stop them many moderators from trying to run them, though."

    I'll take this as a compliment ftr.

    That's fine then. Just the way you made it sound like it was something you could "choose" to do just because you felt like it.

    Lando should've been able to go on a kamikaze mission IMHO.
     
  16. Escath LE Schaw

    Like I said, it was overall a decent game.

    The last line is just as important to keep in mind though:
    Bastard Mod games should not be confused with bad games, which are self-explanatory. However, the line between the two tends to be dangerously thin. If players called your game "bastard" when you were not actively trying to make it one, you should consider getting your next setup looked over by better reviewers.

    And while you may have pulled it off this time, I just want to make sure everyone knows that it's not an easy task. I've seen this happen in other forums before; one person tries something new which turned out to work out, so everyone else decided they can do the same. End result, many bad games.

    That all said, there is no way to justify Cribb's powers. Sorry, it was just bad.

    Would have been far more interesting if:
    a) Escath wasn't copped so early and forced into a reveal.
    b) Anakin turned.
    c) you actually got some decent info from your sabacc game.
     
  18. Escath LE Schaw

    Lando should've given me his money. Cunt.
     
  19. Eds E Ames

    Okay. Fair enough.

    It just sounded like you were annoyed that I'd tried knew things, though, when that was the main aim of the game. Frustrating TSTL. Fair one, but it's for the next mods to decide not me. All I was aiming to do is ensure people don't make assumptions, such as a ventro can't be used in forum mafia.
     
  20. Baxter MJ Deane

    Indeed

    How so?

    As for Sabacc.. I don't know how I could've done better. Had to pick a C'd town really and I learnt a bit from Athers.
