How did the vanilla villagers find it?

Was it used often?

Only necro used his br. And only about 2 posts.

I kinda thought too backroom chat was more for if you had a major role, task, power etc., not basic villager with no power

I loved the lunchtime competitions! Thought it added a really fun element to it.

Also to add I was a wolf in my first game and it definitely drew me back in because I could bounce everything I was doing off someone else. Really enjoyed it - still probably my favourite game I've played so far, even if I did get modkilled for posting off the wrong account!

For my 2 cents, backrooms are great. It’s cool to bounce ideas off another person - especially if they’re on your team. So I’d suggest that even vanilla people could have a backroom to post their thoughts. A mod could respond sometimes, and it’s entertaining reading after the game ends to see the thought process.

I don’t like the night lock at all. Sure, we play this when we are bored and not in work. Closing a game at 10pm means fewer random songs and bull posting. A time for the fluffy, and less fluffy people to let their hair down.

Discord is grand, but I was wondering, can anybody get access to the relevant discord server. Still don’t have access to the last game myself. It can be interesting to read other people’s musings.

Whoops - edit. I’d be completely against the idea of having a more experienced player guide a new player along the way. Goes against the spirit of the game IMHO. Sink or swim guys.

Id be interested to see how much Liz used it and how helpful she found it as shes fairly new to the game and appeared to be having a tough time keeping up in the first half of the game.

I didn't and could only see mine so forgot

Three network and slow boards loading made it hard for me catching up and still when I did I was as usual confused

One thing I also wondered about is the pressence of lynch vote results.

Would make the experience better or worse for a new player if lynch votes were not provided each night?

Could do alright. Though maybe a week would be grand?

Sign up threads and ops could also include links to the information threads... Speaking of which, its been a while since I looked at them. Is there anything there like a really basic quickstart guide for absolute beginners?

Silence of the wolves was my first game and I thought it was the perfect introduction.

Non-anon, vanilla, max post counts, closed nights. All the ingredients rolled into one. (it ran a bit long in the end, but a shorter version monthly could be a snazzy way to scoop up interested newbies and pepper them with experienced players who prefer the less complex games for support and guidance.

Would it he benefit to have a scaled down OP present a few weeks in advance of the game?

Just to be clear a mirror COP was set up sKeith and functions perfectly being used in Die Hard. Just incase that's putting people off playing games. Also the discord chat server has less traffic than off topic thread to be honest it has been used to any great extent in the last 8 or 9 months

Hmm I was sure someone told me that COP was out of action. Maybe it was down for a bit. I dunno.

Did we not trial a BR/mentor for new players in a previous game? I seem to recall something of the sort. Maybe all new players could have a BR? Although even as a NRV I love having a backroom to throw stuff at the walls. So much easier than trying to sort out my thoughts on a piece of paper or on a word document.

Its a nice touch to even just have somewhere to splurge thoughts, makes a difference

Yeah TWD was my first one, Kolido and Strawbs holding my hand! It makes a huge difference having someone experienced with you and meant I signed straight up to the next one. I think a BR to bounce something of the mods at a minimum for a new player should be put in place

It helps so much if your first game is as a wolf or part of some team in all honesty, just having people to bounce ideas off or ask questions.

I was blessed to have mahamageehad, crosstownk, Strawberry Milkshake (due to STARGATE ) and partyjungle on the same team as me in my first game. They were all really helpful and allowed me to get to grips with the mechanics and WW terminologies

I wonder if a backroom for a new player where they can ask things they may be unsure of would work, you could have an experienced player OR the game mods there to help them out.

The other thing I was considering and its been discussed before is having a mentor type situation for new players. It could even be done in Hydra style to take the pressure off in the first game. Also means if a player is struggling to participate and wants to step out you've a ready made sub taking the pressure of new people.

I remember my first game and being in a backroom with experienced players made it so so much more fun and got me back for a 2nd game

Can a mod be capable of being a mentor type figure?

With this Jan game being fairly vanilla and with perhaps less going on in the game thread due to max post counts, I could foresee having time to guide a new player or 2 if needs be.

I just wanted to agree with what Stu and others have said here. I am not a fan of discord at all for WW games. It seems too temporary compared to the old COP backroom. I understand that site got broken so fair enough but I find discord very difficult to follow and I'd be especially reluctant to play a game where that's where the backrooms are. And FWIW I think having discord as a general chatroom for the forum has destroyed any bants that might have went on in the off-topic thread here which is a real pity. I really enjoyed that thread but it's died a death recently.

Any max post counts should prob be lifted an hour or two prior to lynch, imo.

There's a good amendment to the suggestion.

beakerjoe wrote: »

With regards the max post count, how many posts would people feel is appropriate per player.

Say theres 15 players, what would be an appropriate max posts per players that would be handy enough to read through. 15 per player? 30 per player?

Since I brought it up, I may as well say that I had 50 posts in mind when I mentioned it.

Bring minimum posts up to 10, have max posts between 50-75.

If someone hasn't any posts left to deal with something interesting near end of day, well then they've been fluffing the eff out of the place

This is only a suggestion I have to try and make games more accessible to all. It's not something I'm fully married to. Also, it would make more work for game mods having to keep track of the post counts of all players and not just the bottom few.

Didn't we have a max count game before?

In think that worked well. BH was the mod ifrc

Silence of the Wolves had a max post count per day, lifted 2hrs prior to the lynch.

That was in place because it was a long phase game mind. I think a normal game also had a max post count.

Prob with max post counts is that you get to it ans then something interesting happens and you’re snookered

It would eliminate some fluff and make people be more cautious perhaps about filling their post count.

I think it could make things interesting too. You spot something but you cant say until next day. Next day comes and you may looks suspicious not saying it yesterday

Necro

Trigger

The issue with max posts is that what if you are being questioned re: roles or why you have voted whichever way when you only have a couple of posts left for the day. If you fail to defend yourself on thread people will take that as you being silent or evasive and put a target on your back.

Again this is just from me watching games unfold/reading them, so I could be way off the mark there.

Edit: G&R got there before me
