Oh that reminds me, I think the miller thing was a really great idea, but could have been implemented to make it meaningful later in the game.
Like, by around day four we were pretty sure it was nothing, and especially when baidol examined infidel and confirmed publicly that he was not maddened, we knew that the designation could be ignored.
but if the phazon itself could be a metric for something, or tied to someone's win condition in some way, etc., it could be made relevant for longer. Might be too many things to keep track of though.
Yeah, I was convinced we were looking at a situation where Dark Samus won if we all had Phazon madness and could eat us or something weird like that.
@Infidel Sorry dude, but when I seer people as 'a slavering Phazon mutant' it tends to make me not want to network with them. Dragon was being used as my go-between with anyone I seered.
Glad to see my instincts about people were generally on, though I apologise profusely for being inactive on Day 1. That is my own fault but especially intolerable for a seer.
Then you had information that the village could have used re: confirming the miller stuff.

He was in communication with dragon and presumably whatever villagers he looked at before he died. And we figured that stuff out pretty damn early anyway. I'm not sure what you fault him with; he seered a miller, it's a weird situation to be in.

He knew that it was a miller because he knew that I was one of them, and my actions (and arguments counter) would all be cleared up if he shared.
And he wouldn't have died if he communicated with the actual network. :tell_me_more:

I assume he told the people he trusted the results of your seering. In any case the day you killed discrider was the first day we had any good evidence to say "hey Infidel really is a good guy" rather than just "Infidel being a jerk isn't evidence of him being a bad guy," and well I think the village as a whole pretty much agreed that phazon-maddened probably wasn't a big deal at that point. I mean maybe that was just me. But still no need for our one non-outed seer to make himself known. Unfortunate that you guys decided to kill him but I don't think he had much reason to expect that you might.
Why would you seer Infidel anyways, it's pretty obvious by like day 3 whether he's village or mafia.
If the votes he is making are on sensible targets, he's village.
If he's voting for weak ( IE: easily bandwagonable ) players that read more like clueless villagers making some mistakes, he's mafia. Also, you should probably say something about it because Infidel will swing a lot of votes in his favor in your average game.
It's always in mafia-Infidel's interest to get as many innocents lynched as possible. No point in playing a long con when he can just get vote records as muddied as possible with multiple mislynches and the vig will probably target him early anyways because he's Infidel.

I thought about it, but I wasn't really sure what an alternate style win condition might do to the balance, so I tried to take it one step at a time. Also the phazon in general was a headache for me to keep track of. So maybe in the future.
That being said I really enjoy watching what people think might be roles/abilities/mechanics in the game. Particularly this:

That was a fun game, no question! Thanks for running it! I had some fun with it, even through I got roleblocked from day two onwards! But eh, had little choice in reveling myself, and at the least was able to act as a bit of a mouthpiece between other people, had a soft network of 3-4 people going.
And I do agree that sometimes we need to step back and remember we're playing a game for fun here.

Another quick note, whenever someone has the ability to attack, it might be nice to know the results of the attack. It would've been helpful for me at least, to know if I'm hitting targets that reduce my damage or are straight immune. For the few allies my role had, I think this would've helped me find them.

That's nice to know, but there are definitely mechanical/balance concerns why this can't fit into every game with an attack.

That's nice to know, but there are definitely mechanical/balance concerns why this can't fit into every game with an attack.
Perhaps, but for my role, I was basically looking for things that would probably survive my attacks as they were potentially my only allies in the game. At the bare minimum, it might be nice to know if my attack even hit or not.
It provides information, and information is crucial in games like this I feel, so it's tough when one potentially good method of obtaining information was a no-go.
