I was referring to claiming abilities. However in the word of orange “why the fuck would you host a game where flavor is AI”-Luigi mansion

#12429

I mean that one is solvable by giving scum fake town flavors

#12430

I kinda like the Zork approach to anti-claim in open set-ups

#12431

this is terribad with games where at least a dozen town characters will obviously be in the game

#12432

you should not be able to townlock yourself as town by flavour claiming. ever

#12433

Or instead of banning claiming flavor, you could just give scum a strongman flavor vigilante. What if scum don’t want a town who claimed to die but you modkill them anyways which hurts their chances of winning @orangeandblack5

#12434

make it so if the flavor vigilante dies it gets past down as well

#12435

no one is disputing that, but this is in fact solvable by giving scum fake flavor claims

so don’t put all of them in the game, and give some of them to scum as safeclaims

#12436

LotR FM and Insurgency I FM both have at least a dozen good characters which will obviously be in the game

Claimvig can’t kill anywhere near all the town that would be able to townlock themselves by flavour claiming

infinite flavor vigilante can kill everyone who claims…unless you are saying you wouldn’t make it infinite use during a single day which would be dumb

#12438

how is this any different from modkilling

#12439

it’s the same as a modkill

it just gives scum the ability to strategically use it

#12440

and the townie doesn’t lose if shot by this vigilante unlike a modkill

#12441

So if I give scum this ability should it be blatantly obvious

#12442

Yes if your purpose is to dissuade claiming.

If your purpose is for people to claim and then get killed by the vigilante then go ahead and hide it

#12443

also @future hosts

if you ever add in a day killing ability or a gladiator ability make sure whenever it is used it adds a hour back to the day if used x<60 minutes before EOD

and make sure votes are reset upon a death or gladiate
All votes

#12445

That situation in Eevee game where someone died and votes were hammered was super bad and should have easily been prevented pre-game by this

#12446

Im thinking of adding this, cause I was one killed in LOTRFM for doing so as I was under a lot of stress and someone asked me to claim, and Im not sure how I feel on it. It being done by scum feels better than hosts, but then Im worries scum are just gonna claim

#12447

If scum claim let them, it’s not the hosts job to regulate town failing to notice someone should be dead
