And not as a wolf, even!

No no, I went back through my history of WW games and aside from WWXX, where almost everyone survived because we decided to postpone the game then never went back to it, I've died in every game.

I was worried at the end as I looked on the forums and saw the posts (without actually logging in) until Hydra made the reveal and started the final wagon.
It was interesting being back to the basics but I actually prefer the complicated games myself.  I feel like no seer would work better as a series of games because a lot of that would probably depend on who the wolves end up being and who is not a wolf because some games end up being awful for some players who are normally great and vice versa.

We could have used the Who's Online trick many times with Fiji but I wasn't sure how best to phrase that kind of argument and I wasn't sure how I should phrase my arguments without giving away my being a defender which contributed to my quietness, standoffishness, and bad arguments.

I think this is the first time I have survived a game where I won with the Town (my other survivals were as a werewolf) and congrats Doc on surviving (and sorry for convincing you to take the fall in that one game where we were the saboteurs).

Good game everyone and definitely a well played one for the seer.

Yeah, now that the game is over, I can talk about what's going on with Discord.

We want to move all team discussions there, so that the Who's Online trick can't be used.

We've been testing it out via a Spectator Server. Eventually, we can even host games there, I think.

Personally, I love the idea of having discussions on discord for team members.

Was joining rank werewolf on discord supposed to add sections or anything? Cause i joined but I don't see anything.

Huh...congratulations to Doc for being the most suspicious villager.

In any case, I personally don't care for the idea of moving team discussions to Discord, and probably won't participate in games if that's going to be a thing, especially if they're going to take place on a private server. I mean, they're forum games for a reason, and people shouldn't be expected to have to be on Discord too in order to play them. That's just how I feel about it, though.

Can we get a fix for the Who's Online exploit, then? Because it makes the game far too easy for the Town.

No, that's a feature for eventual games to be hosted on the server, and for Pengu to be able to notify you about stuff more easily.

Right.  Whenever a new game pops up, or whene er something like a new phase starts or I'm working on a new project, you'll get a role notification.

If anything, they'd be done via group DMs rather than a new server, since a server would be a lot of work to switch out correctly every time we have a new game.

But PMs would still be a thing for forum games because not everyone has Discord.  But group DMs are cool as well because it's more real-time, so any teammates on at the same time can be much more strategic with ideas.

But I do agree that this Who's Online exploit is going to ruin games if people can see when members are viewing/sending messages.

I chatted with Laurentus last night about this, and I will see what I can do to fix the Who's Online exploit. I'm open to ideas here, actually.

I'm not really opposed to group DMs, I just misunderstood Laurentus's post to mean that people would have to join a private Discord server in future forum games. We got that resolved last night, too. Perhaps if we go that route a log could be posted of the group DMs at the end of the game.

Good game all. I don’t think I’ve ever been this active in a game before.

Oh heavens no.  Unless the game itself consisted of entirely all players that were already on Discord, I'd still do forum PMs.

And even then, I'm a sucker for tradition since that's how I send out roles.  DMs would just be a really nice alternative.
