[FoL] FoL 21 - End Game Discussion Topic

And the rule of not listening to me about FK still in effect :stuck_out_tongue:

Itā€™ll be scary when people do. (And knowing my luck it will be the one day I am wrong on it)

Agreed I hope we improve a lot as a site.

We improve by lynching people who do this until they stop.

Since we canā€™t touch them due to lolmeta then people will never improve.

Seems like youā€™ve seen this before?

I share the same sentiments as Alice here.

We talked about this yesterday and she pointed out that much of this lolmeta thing began in one of the newbie games where she was an Evil Queen. One of the players that was a newbie wolfclaimed there and she tried pushing on him and go immediately wolfread for that.

From what sheā€™s said, ever since that game this lolmeta thing was established where itā€™s impossible to push on certain players because they act wolfy regardless of their alignment.

I agree some players are harder to push on
However some you have to read the wolfy and see whether itā€™s their town wolfy or not. Scummy doesnā€™t always mean scum and some players have their own struggles

And sometimes direction matters too. If too much pushback another direction may be warranted eg find scum in the defenders

What matters is that people here generally try and improve their play as both town and scum, pointers post game help us immensely.

This is the problem.

There should never be a villager wolfy.

Thereā€™s no tutorial for villagers how to seem villagery, soā€¦ /shrug

No matter the level of skill of players this is always the case.

I am an Aspie and bring different skills towards reading people. If I expected everyone to meet my definition of towny there would be problems.

What matters is the soul if all people are honestly trying they will get better.

I still donā€™t get it why people are still doing this.

Point is.

  1. Donā€™t ever claim wolf unless youā€™re a caught wolf lolcatting.
  2. Donā€™t ever hardclaim your class d1.

This wholly depends on the setup.

Indeed. In ToL it can be quite good to claim d1, as quite a lot of classes.

In the PC game thatā€™s not really forum mafia. Itā€™s a quick social game

FOL with search functions generally bad to claim until lylo or game is locked in by mass claim or you have a guilty

This is typically something you donā€™t want to encourage setup wise however, as it makes it blander. This is why we strived to reduce a lot of the confirmability in FoL.

It should be common sense here.

  1. Wolf-hunt. I noticed that a lot of players here donā€™t bother to do so even when village.
  2. Donā€™t care about your appearance. Worrying about being MLā€™d will often get you MLā€™d.
  3. Donā€™t claim wolf. This should be common sense here.
  4. Donā€™t hardclaim unless you absolutely need to.

If a game can be solved by only mass-claiming without bothering about reads. Then itā€™s shit and broken.

Sorry, not sorry.

New players are doing this.

However town hunting/blocking is important

Taking into account lack of social knowledge and language/timezone barriers is important.

New players/players who never had a mentor are in a unique situation

Number 2 is touch and go imo, yes donā€™t worry about your appearance, but donā€™t overpost when you can think out clear, concise things you want to say
