Angleshooting in Forum Games

People who are coming from ToL have completely different ideas and feelings about “spirit of the game”… for example, a lot of the fol mechanics are for me “against the spirit of the game” (for example… that a Knight CS doesn’t cancel when redirected… that’s just completely feeling wrong for me).
Angleshooting is something completely subjective, and that’s a huge problem, because we don’t have the same ideas about the same game…

I’m confused as to what FoL mechanics you feel are against the spirit of FoL

I though we got a lot of those removed but if there are more I’m all ears

Spirit of the game is playing within the rules and generally not based on mechanics imo.

Though I do agree that knight cs is unfair

I don’t understand?

I’m not aiming for equal chances of winning…? I have a NK, I have neutrals, I have a lot of different factors. Even a 50% BD winrate isn’t what I’m aiming for.

You should have a fair chance to win as every class, and you should be able to contribute to this goal, both socially and mechanically. But there’s nothing like “equality”

Tol/fol is slightly different; standard mafia should be 50/50 tho

Yeah, and I never play FM, that’s why this concept is 100% new for me.
That’s why “spirit of the game” as angleshooting definition doesn’t work. One comes from FM. One coms from ToL. We have a lot of different opinions about the spirit of the game.

Fool

Feel free to post that in the feedback thread, or on discord of course. :wink:

you underestimate how competitive people can get

No it doesn’t. It’s just an abusable failsafe for hosts that can’t properly balance their setup.
There is absolutely no reason to keep the rules and not replace it with OGI. OGI is unabusable and has exact definition.

Your only reason right now for having angleshooting is that it covers for hosts failing. Why do we have to put a global rule that punishes other people for doing literally nothing wrong? This rule is opinionated. It is a global opinionated rule. That is not okay.

We also have game managers for a reason as well.
The rule is essentially an insult to them. Not even joking.

The smallest crack in a fortress makes it useless

FOL is forum mafia.

Someone blatantly misused forum mechanics for angleshooting.
Host: You cheated. You have violated the Law.
Player: “But technically… I haven’t.”
Host: Explain to me why you think you haven’t.
Player: lots of nonsense
Host: You can talk with a fol mod afterwards. But for now - my ruling is right.

That sounds like a person who knew what they were doing was against the spirit of the game lmao

Something was off about you so I decide to check on you, just like I suspect to debauch Eevee when he was replying mininal before first night and when I connected the dots that I intended Eevee to target the player died, I am death tunneling since then.

Could I say the same for you until I let my guard down?

Why is “he’s k/o so he might be an assassin who bled you” angleshooting? I’m confused

He used when a bleed was claimed to push it. which is why i said earlier it was semi-angleshooting but it was fine to suspect me as he had a k/o on me

i was mainly frustrated for getting suspected over something i didn’t do
