Christmas Carnage II: the afterglow

Taking rascal to final day was risky as fucking hell.

I think that was a really great set up. The pre game has the potential to screw people over and could probably do with tweaking to avoid certain outcomes, but it's a great idea.

Seers can be brutally powerful in small games and to win as wolf with a seer and a backup seer in the game (and to have them both nailed as seers and dead by d2) is pretty sick really.

Final day, I really enjoyed that. I mean I honestly felt it was a coin flip, it all depended on who rascal went for imo. There came a point where I felt it was too late for rascal to shake off gator, but I was just waiting for someone to vote so it was over. That was exhausting.

Thanks for modding mojo, it's a great set up indeed.

Do go on. I think it was a huge success, but I did a lot of little things that may or may not have pushed it to a good balance.
E.g. not posting player lists at start-of-day


There's a different kind of trust in the mod in this format than usual.

I did not make ong a wolf and a blacksmith and an angel.
I did give him roleblocking power, which I think suits a wolf more than the other roles, and I gave him unlimited uses in a game that was supposed to have 3 1x powers in it.

I overly nerfed the Seer to 1x peek on N2, since I felt like - with only 9 players - the game is half broken by a dead wolf on D1 and a Seer claim on D2.

So you had to trust me to give you a balanced game where you had no idea what mechanics are in play.


I agree with gabe that I'd love to run this format again, but it takes a mod with enough bravado and time to set it all up on the amazingly short notice that the format introduces. It would be well worth allowing a 48 pause after the 2nd mini-game before the game thread starts in full just to allow the mod time to mull over what he's been asked to create.

Do go on.

gabe was n1 nom from the instant I opened my role pm. It kinda sucks for him that his game is tainted before anyone has even posted. I kinda regretted my selfish and impolite strategy when I realised it worked, but at the same time it's war, right? Who gives a fuck about being polite.

I think the nerfed seers was right, full seers in 9p games can break them quickly.

Actually, 9er games with a seer with an N0 villa peek is very balanced. That's the format for turbos on POG and after thousands of games, it's about 51% village wins.
