@Iso: it was really difficult for me to follow all your points because of eloquence of both of you. And I know how as scum you are good at making someone look like scum, so I had to find my own reasons to decide who is scum.
I have been thinkinng about what happened with the whole Kpaca/Azrael teamchat situation.
Either you have to forbid talking about what was said in teamchat or allow it.
Making it forbidden is tough, because teammates can change your mind on things, and if you can’t say that in thread, you seem like a liar.
Allowing it can automatically create situations like the one we had now, because what Kpaca said would be allowed, but it created a situation in another game. And even if a mod rules that you have to ignore that, you cannot unsee what you saw.
I think allowing it is the only way.
And because of that, I think the games don’t need to run simultaneously.
In spec chat Vezok said that mafiascum offers different games with different sizes and teams just choose wether they join or not.
I think that is the way to go. Have teams of max 3, maybe max 4 players, let them sign up as a team with 1 player posting, and have games no bigger than the amount of teams we have registered.
And have a team league with a simple scoring system as incentive to play the games. (something like 2 points for win, -1 for a loss and 1 for being randomed out when too many signed up)
It was a hard game for me because both of you are very eloquent and I am not native English.
It takes me a lot of effort to parse your posts.
I probably should’ve ended it way earlier. I was right all along and started doubting somewhere midgame.
About the setup: I don’t think I would play 3 player games again. It’s too much of a crapshoot, especially in the Wheat/Kpaca/Bur game.
JeyK played masterfully. She seemed extremely innocent in her posting. That game was a clear win.
The idea works tho, but I think larger games is the way to go.
