TWG 204 - Forest Feast POST-GAME THREAD

[bugkid666]

* Forest Feast *

Setup:

9 Players

* 2 Termites

* 6 Trees

* 1 Exterminator

Game Rules:

* Termites have a single factional night action. They may choose to swarm a single target, or to devour all previously swarmed targets.

* Exterminator blocks the swarming of a target ONLY on the night in which they are being swarmed.

* Trees become Tree-stumps upon being eliminated via the Day vote, allowing them to continue posting in the thread.

* Exterminator, Trees, Tree-stumps, and Termites are all vulnerable to being swarmed and devoured.

* Tree-stumps cannot vote, and do not count as a vote for endgame purposes.

** Players are not told when they are swarmed, Termites are not told if the swarming was successful.

*** There is a post count minimum: each player will be required to make 5 game-related posts due 90 minutes before each EoD each day phase. Failure to meet the minimum will result in a modkill.

* The post deadline is 90 minutes before EoD. There is a 30 minute host-verification period to check post count and game-related posts in the event of a severely inactive player. Any modkills will be announced at approximately 1 hour before EoD, but the flip for any modkilled player will be withheld until after EoD. No votes will count from or against the player who is modkilled. Voting for said player will be equivalent to a "No-lynch" vote. The modkilled player will be required to stop posting.

* Game related posts are defined as, "posts containing player comments/feedback/thoughts relating to any game actions, events, or other game-related interactions between players".

* Note that I will only be using the above definition to disqualify posts as "game related" above the posting minimum if a player is severely absent for the majority of the phase and tries to squeeze by with bare minimum posts. Warning will not be given. Please play the game you sign up for.

Role PMs

Welcome to [TWG 204]: Forest Feast!
You crave nature, trees and other plant matter. The sight of the forest outside of your home fills you with desire. If you could just find a way to devour it all, you might finally satiate your never ending hunger. Actually....that kind of sounds like a good idea...

You are a Termite, along with your partner [PLAYER]. You may post in the thread and vote as you see fit. Your additional abilities are listed below.

Abilities

Factional Communication: During any phase you may talk with your partner [HERE].

Factional Meal Prep: Each night phase either you or your partner may take one and only one of the the following actions:

* Swarm a target to ready them for your next meal.

* Devour all previously swarmed targets by eating them whole, leaving nothing behind.

Win Condition

You win when only Termite aligned players are left alive, or nothing can prevent this from occurring.

Welcome to [TWG 204]: Forest Feast!
Your leaves are green, your roots are long, and the creatures of the forest marvel at your very sight. Your life is simple, and quite frankly, that's exactly how you like it. Kind of makes you wonder though...how long will things stay that way?

You are a Tree, and aligned with the Forest. You may post in the thread and vote as you see fit. Your additional abilities are listed below.

Abilities

Stumped: Upon being eliminated via the Day vote you become Tree-stumped. This means you will still be allowed to post in the thread, but you will not have a vote. Being killed in any other way overrides this ability, and will cause you to be removed from the game.

Win Condition

You win when only Forest aligned players are left alive.

Welcome to [TWG 402]: Forest Feast!
You love nature, trees, and things that are green. However, you HATE insects and have made it your life’s mission to kill them all, especially the ones who threaten the beauty of the forest near your home. Pesky bugs better watch their backs!

You are an Exterminator, and aligned with the Forest. You may post in the thread and vote as you see fit. Your additional abilities are listed below.

Abilities

Swarm Prevention: Each night phase you may choose one other player to douse with insect repellent. The doused player will be immune to being swarmed for consumption during that night phase.

Win Condition

You win when only Forest aligned players are left alive.

I agree. This game got incredibly unfair towards termite extremely quickly.

i'm frankly a little discouraged to run it again >< maybe in a few games, i'll retry. it was a nice first hosting experience tho!

[flashflash account]

Run it again

[ShadoWolfe]

it's a damn shame we lynched H&H.

I almost wish the modkill hadn't happened, but there's no winning there /shrug

GG all it was a banger of a D0

whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[Hateandhatred]

I also think that:

1: the player pool should be larger. The main gimmick is that wolves can hit multiple targets at a time, but with 9 players, it seems hard to introduce into play.

or

2: maybe allow 2 swarms a night OR a devour action?

Game should have ended when last termite was modkilled. Had I been forced to play a literal worthless EOD I feel I would be upset

Otherwise this was a neat concept

had it not been less than an hour to EOD, I would have ended it right away. tonight was a weird night for me, and I wasn't expecting to be out when someone would have to be modkilled. major props to T-Force for helping me out. it definitely felt a lot less stressful to know that he was around to help

[mellon_collie]

rolling wolf twice in a row is annoying

trying to play lying game with your husband is annoying

Yeah, I was thinking along these lines as well. Or maybe a third option is just "do a regular nightkill", and the swarm mechanic is still useful for the sake of doing the thanos snap

I think this game does deserve a larger pool. I literally ripped the template off of mafia dot org or whatever it's called and then reskinned it to be bug-themed for my own selfish desires

[Charu]

Also, my read on hate was 100% spot on.

YEAH!

Oh, and uh... I would've kept spraying Shadow indefinitely btw

[Hateandhatred]

who was swarmed btw?

[bugkid666]

Bah, I was gonna spray hate too until that CFD happened!

[bugkid666]

n1 charu protected shado
& wv swarmed hatred

[bugkid666]

I don't know the protocol for re-running a game, but if everyone really wants me to, I can.
Anyways here's deadchat: https://discord.gg/ydeN9s5e

[Hateandhatred]

the more I think about it, the more 2 swarms per night (so long as 2 termites are alive) seems appealing tbh.

They still can't do better than 1 kill per night if they swarm then devour, and they have the option to swarm two more on night two, which doubles the likelihood of a target being blocked. And it also works with a lower player pool.

It also emphasizes the high risk high reward playstyle
