Rule 13a could go either way, really. Smogon plays without this rule, and the games on there have since evolved in a different direction without lacking any of the high-level drama or scheming.

it directly goes against the spirit of the game in my opinion

Re: New TWG Rules Proposal & Discussion

yeah I like 13a as is. either find a more creative way to die intentionally or suck it up and live on.

Re: New TWG Rules Proposal & Discussion

11) So long as a player has died during the night phase only, they are entitled to one (1) deathpost. Deathposts cannot be relevant to the game, even if there are cardflips, and cannot inhibit other players from playing the game, such as posting the entire script to the Spongebob Squarepants Movie.

Re: New TWG Rules Proposal & Discussion

this is a grey-area but I want to say yes.

how does it not is the question here.

third parties are tricky...

I would like to challenge this

the only reason I was able to win as serial killer once was to claim my role and side with humans (even though I was planning on backstabbing them in the penultimate phase) and force the game into a final four

in any game with multiple (more than two) factions, siding with another faction (including town) can be a strategic move and should not automatically constitute modkilling imo

at worst, the game setup's balance should be considered on a game-to-game basis --- one of the last games, the serial killer wasn't allowed to claim because it would screw up the game balance, but games like C9++ often are balanced in cases where SK claims happen

tl;dr I think it should be up to the host's discretion based on the game setup
