Werewolf post game(s) feedback thread

One thing that Neo mentioned during the last game was the concept of "seer cover"; I've seen it in games before where NRVs drop hints to try to draw a munch but not where NRVs openly post fake seer reveals to give cover like that. Obviously for it to work, multiple villagers would need to do it along with the seer and then the results could be reviewed once the seer is revealed.

Since there are a lot of fairly new players, are there any other village (or wolf) strategies that more experienced players could share?

A great run, fun anon game (Clarkson's Farm)

Maybe just for future anon games, just a reminder in OP that lynch/yeet voting be done in anon name not your own

An enjoyable fun Shield game and closed thread from 11pm to 10am was a good idea

As I mentioned on the game thread, I learned a lot from running the Macbeth game, so I wanted to post about that here.

The first thing that I realised is that it is a fair bit of work to run these so we need to be incredibly grateful to @Trigger and @Necro for running games so frequently. It's also important that we widen the pool of game mods so that it doesn't always fall to these two!

The second thing is that while it is a bit of work, it is hugely rewarding and fun to do it here. We have a great little community here that we should all be working to keep alive.

The third thing is that games are pretty resilient. If you've read the backrooms, you'll all I know I made a big booboo at one point. While I had a level 7 meltdown, the players affected were gracious (thank you @Neowise, @Cainflan, @duffman13) and the game bounced back pretty quickly. So don't be worried about being 'perfect' if you want to give modding a go.

New players added tremendously to this game. @Goldengirl, @Cryogenic, @Cainflan and @Put It In H (I know, not 100% new but out of retirement) all got stuck in and made the game better imo. I really liked the Day 1 amnesty that was applied and think it's important to consider following through on this so that newbies get a real sense of what it is like to play and find their feet.

As I mentioned on the game thread, @Trigger was hugely helpful to me in this. While it wasn't my first time modding, it was my first solo effort and the biggest thing I learned was that you really do need to have someone to bounce ideas off. With that in mind, I was thinking that it might be a good idea, in sign-up threads, for 'solo' mods to ask those who can't play to act as sounding boards. Sometimes playing isn't possible but it's nice to be involved and this might be a way for people who are a bit wary of modding to get a sense of game building and any issues that can come up in a game.

Thanks a million again to everyone who took part, ye are all a bunch of legends. 😊
