And if you want to regain hosting confidence
host something vanilla
we need more of those
do a mountainous game or marson or some simple vanilla setup with 1-2 prs
those are really easy and can help you get some good experience in as host
p sure i’ve usually bungled this by either talking too much or falling for that pitfall you pointed right. Ur right i have to try to be better here. Maybe i should instigate a rule where there will always be at least 5 mins before host starts typing an answer to a player question to prevent subconscious angleshooting.
No comment, dont really remember that much of problems in this regard from me
The only moderror-free games i’ve co-hosted, other hosts did almost all of this, which is p shameful. Now that I have kat’s template and will use it whenever possible and am comfortable with it, this might get easier? idk
I’ve been really, really bad on this. Maybe it would be easier if i mandated all votes pinged me idk. Really sorry dat, astand, geyde, and ans.
while i can’t speak from the perspective of someone who has the power to blacklist you or even knows how the process goes
i really don’t think anything you’ve done is blacklist worthy given your worst error (sfol57, imo) is the byproduct of something you are actively working on fixing
in a game with two hosts, one host will p much always do more, as long as you’re doing your part and your cohost doesnt have to pry at you constantly to help then i don’t see anything wrong with it
i’d say at worst it was a misinterpretation, not an error
you can’t really be faulted for not correctly interpreting a message that wasn’t super clear when you have to come to a conclusion
i will, however, hold it against you forever 
this is a joke
i think this sums it up well
you did this with me in sfol58 and while i know you’ll say i did most of the work, having that second opinion is still incredibly valuable to me
and you did catch me at least once before i made a mistake
problem with this is if only one of you is online at a given time
double checking with your cohosts isn’t inherently a bad thing but sometimes you run into the problem of answering a question that, if answered slowly, may be angleshootable
kind of like this
if someone asks if X is possible because Arete claimed they did it, and they ask you and you take 20 minutes to respond, it’s a bit 
maybe this isn’t a thing that actually happens but it’s been something i’ve kept in mind when i’ve hosted games and had to answer questions i wasn’t 100% sure of (this happened multiple times in FoL26, people asked questions and frostwolf was offline, so i just… winged it)
tbh i think this should be more standardized for bigger games
otherwise votes just get lost
see my usual strategy in castle of the blood god was just to wait for amelia and log off for an hour or 2 to avoid answering questions I didn’t know so that people couldn’t angleshoot the fact that i’m online
better to make people think i’m just lazy than angleshoot 
i mean
when im actively doing VCs or posting in cookie thread i can’t really just disappear
and then when i get 10000 mechanical questions all asking me things im not 100% sure about its like
aaaa
halp
I remember in aroot + orange episode of thingyman podcast the host (forgot name) talked about “unspoiled host”
What is that and how does that happen
Is it any good
that is the exact reason I never intend to host a FoL
Castle of the blood god wasn’t that bad, honestly in most setups, even if I don’t know how every interaction works, I can still answer 95% of the questions on-time.
only in automated games done with modbot
we do not have modbot so that was not an option

i think i’ve learned enough from hosting fol26/sfol60 that i could host a fol just fine
hence why i have an anon-fol in queue
but i’d still never consider doing it without a cohost even if i think i can because like
having a second opinion is something i value very highly and doing things alone is scary
eevee did a modbot for Cop13 which was fun and worked semi-well
the mafia could factional kill themselves which was gamer but 
That is a thing that can (apparently, and bafflingly) happen on MU with the automated Modbot system
it is not possible here since, well, you kind of need the host to do things like ‘process actions’ and ‘do flips’

When I had that problem and wanted to doublecheck with my cohost, I just took a break
I delayed questions where I knew the answer for some hours as well
So it wasnt angleshootable
Since I never answered quickly
Same like I delayed bleeds for a bit, when they happened during I was offline
So they werent angleshootable by time
