ToL's future and the importance of FoL

There isn’t a requirement of this, but when I joined this place with zero forum mafia experience at the start of february, it was very overwhelming and i was modkilled thrice. Others probably would have quit pretty fast.

This community is really welcoming though, so I’m thankful I stuck around.

Yeah… as I joined here in FoL with zero forum mafia experience, people just wanted to lynch me every time, and “welcoming” is not something I would say to “gamethrowing! so much gamethrowing!” accusations :smiley:

When I was accused of gamethrowing, it was actual gamethrowing (i.e. quoting or paraphrasing my class card). it was something easily fixable

Tfw I can’t relate to the masses.

I do feel my social deduction abilities have improved a lot over time here

Same. I can use a lot of the things I learned in FoL in ToL.

Angleshooting was definitely the hardest thing for me to get down

But now I believe I have it down, thankfully.

The ambiguous nature of angleshooting would definitely repel a lot of players, of ToL turned into FoL

I got warned a lot for varied versions of angleshooting/gamethrowing/other non-intentional rulebreakings you neither know as ToL player nor got explained anywhere.

I got worse in ToL as a result of getting good at FM because I project really hard.

Of course they don’t get explained. They don’t exist in ToL

Maybe if there was some kind of tutorial for brand new players . . .

No, I mean, they don’t get explained here… where they should get explained.

Perhaps haha. That’s why I think a tutorial would be a good idea if we got more interest here.

I could make rules more explicit in OPs, but generally speaking the rule of thumb is to defer to the host.

If you ask me what angleshooting is… I still have no idea. I’m still going with the normal rules of ToL, cheating and gamethrowing.

It is unfathomably hard to define precisely in a general case.

Which is the tricky thing
