oh then nvm

#302

Deviant is completely based on host bias. Its just bad design

#303

It can be too broken as tan pointed out to me

#304

The host isnā€™t meant to have any bias in the first place

#305

Its possible reward is far too great compared to how much it hurts town

#306

my current state is satisfactory in this case

#307

the storyteller is a balancekeeper there to keep the game enjoyable

Hosts are ALWAYS biased. You cant stop that.

#309

it doesnt have to be. they can base it off other peopleā€™s reactions to it rather than their perception of funniness

#310

If you think thereā€™s a role here that your name fits better than another forumerā€™s name, try to convince me

(note that none of the roles that havenā€™t already been changed to a forumer name will be changed).

#311

not to mention a lot of mechanics in botc already sorta rely on host bias in a way

#312

I can say that when I storytell, I always use the leeway at my disposal to keep the game as close as I can

I donā€™t know what this is. Like fundumentally.

#314

Cuz itā€™s clearly not just mafia.

#315

I am probably one of the hosts of this side with the least bias used towards players, cuz Iā€™m extremely lawful and hate it 100% to treat someone differently as host just cuz I donā€™t like it. But even I am a bit biased. itā€™s just good that games like fol arenā€™t allowing the host to intervene, they can just go straight by mechanics.
In BotF its different. Your host will be biased, and he has a lot of power to bring that into play.

#316

the best way to describe this game to an FM player is flipless mafia with a flagbearer where all players get to talk for the entire game

Gib headhunter

#318

Also I too donā€™t entirely know how this works, but Iā€™m sure Iā€™lo understand

#319

more so than anarchy at any rate
