Just fyi, discord is also a good place to discuss balancing. We had some interesting talks already.

#10264

this isnt tol

this is fol

plus doing it behind closed doors kinda leaves out people from the process.

its best to gather a shitton of ideas and then sift through them to see whats best for the game

#10265

But what if we do it anyways and then patch up the holes to give games that are longer and on average more fun :thinking:

After all, itā€™s removing a slot with ā€œno chance to winā€, so why should people care for it when the game could also be balanced without it?

#10266

That was not the point. I meant: thereā€™s some other audience too, a silent majority of fol players who donā€™t speak here often.

#10267

You canā€™t just balance everything somehow, just because some really loud people are wanting it. You have to think about it in-depth and try to think on everything.

If Iā€™m honest, short game length doesnā€™t bother me.

Because after like 4 days, the game dies out and had like 15 hour silence periods

#10269

I donā€™t see why not tbh

Weā€™ve already made drastic changes before :man_shrugging:

And if thatā€™s whatā€™s best for the game, maybe change isnā€™t all that bad.

#10270

itā€™s a lot easier to discuss things here

I donā€™t get why they wonā€™t talk here if they play on the forums

Thatā€™s why I have vested interest in trying out an FoL without NK
Sure, it damages some sort of spirit inherent to ToL, but the main gut of ToL stays

That being

  • King with undeterminable mechanical alignment
  • Conversion based scumteams
  • Rolemadness where all roles have multiple abilities

Keyword is vested
Iā€™m looking for alternatives

#10273

I donā€™t think anyone here, on the ToL forums, dislikes ToL.

However, weā€™ve been pretty good about pushing the game in a direction we feel is best for it, even if thatā€™s not what ToL does at the time. If itā€™s a good change, it can be worth diverting a little bit - and there are a decent number of times where a change weā€™ve made eventually gets added to ToL after weā€™ve proved it works well.

  • King with undeterminable mechanical alignment
  • Conversion based scumteams
  • Rolemadness where all roles have multiple abilities
  • Punishing yolo lynches/executes by town
  • Having a strong town class (Prince)
  • Having a NK which you can play against the other side.
  • Having neutrals you can try to win for your side.

(sorry, who of the tol people even knows that fol is existingā€¦ donā€™t overestimate the importance of fol)
