Watch Your Mouth!: Sophomore Year (17/17)- Signups

only speak in names, go go go

I think this is the best.

@Solic

I’d strongly suggest to not have bomb pick up on misspellings or spaces either as it’s a very feelsbad for town and introduces some host bias.

One of the best strategies there is to just don’t post until it explodes because there is almost no way to avoid it otherwise. This setup discourages posting enough already. Last time they got someone by taking the word “scumm”. That should tell you enough that just altering how you post won’t always save you.

Problem here is that people are just going to be mispelling shit intentionally. I’d elongate the word length minimum to 6 and keep the misspelling thing so they don’t just yeet people for saying “scum” “vote” or “town.”

Sulit and i are at a disadvantage (if we were playing)

Sometimes we misspell words as ohter words):<

Accidentally saying a trigger word is lol

[katze]

@Chloe

Sometimes we misspell words as ohter words):<

[Jane]

[katze]

[Jane]

looser

[katze]

[Jane]

If I were to join right now, when would game start?

[katze]

plaaaay

[Jane]

Nooooo

I’ll still be in online class for 8 hrs.

[Wazza]

This game has no reason to be 17p.

Put it to 13 vs 3 as it matches how the last one worked.

[Italy]

my cleverness in abusing this game’s horrid bomb mechanic would be fifty times higher than my WiM
if i bothered to join

[Wazza]

The other game was:

10 vs 2

The balance ratio worked

4 : 1

Which made it:

8 : 2
10 : 2

Which is then how this game would work

4 : 1
8 : 2
12 : 3
13 : 3

Which makes this game more scumsided than the last one but that’s FINE with the new one shot Villa who doesn’t always shoot Scum.

I refuse to say more.

[DatBird]

uh id say it would start in 8.75 hours as thats when i would want it, but i would send rolecards tonight

[Solic]

Why is that a problem? Last game that happened and they just made the word “scumm” to catch someone doing that consistently. It’s fine to me if the bomb has more counterplay than not posting at all. At worst, it will be a post restriction for everyone, at best it will mean 2 kills per cycle. With some counterplay it can work as 1.75 kills per cycle.

Your suggestion can also lead to the same thing, where any words used are less than 6 characters in length actually. In which case it will be, which post restriction do you find more fun.

[Wazza]

The setup is scumsided, that’s a fact but getting a perfect balance is practically impossible.

We can see how balanced it is after watching it play out.
