Danner curious, how does it decide what order to place the role cards made?

Each card and style has a number internally. That's the number it has when created.
The order placed is simply the order of appearance, numerically.

No, that's actually a lie. It's just picking the order based on the order in the webstorage container. Which should be equal to the order of creation, but may not be on all browsers.

I can give it an order I guess. I have also been pondering making a drag-and-reshuffle feature. I miss that functionality too :P

been constantly grief puking but got sick last week and started puking up dark red blood so that was a fun trip to the ER for 8 hours for them to basically tell me to go fuck myself since they didnt tell me what was wrong with me.

So in the current game even people who are lynched just vanish? That's interesting.

I'm working on finalizing mechanics for the game I've been poking at for a while. It should be ready soon but it'll take until the 19th make a signup thread.

I honestly was not expecting the Finals game to take this long to start, but I've finally got a notice asking me for my schedule. No start time declared yet, but I'll let you guys know when it is.

[Nefarious Tea]

Holy shit, hasn't this been going on for several months now?

[Dendrek]

I was expecting the final's game to be over by now, not just barely starting.

There were 11 qualifiers and 2 semi-finals. They had to coordinate games with hundreds of people across the world. The qualifiers alone took almost as long as I expected the whole championship to take.

Fun side note: Unless I'm mistaken, of the 13 games played, mafia won 12. This setup might be a bit skewed.

I survived the move, though my new schedule will take some getting used to. Living next to the ocean is pretty nice.

I don't get it how town can lose so many games.
Purely on paper this setup seems really town sided. 4 scum vs 13 town is a lot of town. Also every town is a TPR (with quite limited powers but still TPRs), and town has 4 mislynches in this setup at minimum. If I remember correctly in some games they mislynched 5 town and the game was still going.

[Dendrek]

There are, at best, two alignment checks in the game. If one is missing or if one or more are scum, that makes it even fewer. Those alignment checks are 2 out of a pool of up to 17 players (obviously fewer after lynches and night kills). Even if they both confirm town players, there's plenty of time past N4 to kill off those two players. With all abilities ending by N4, it's very unlikely for any abilities to have a substantial impact on the game. At best, a few roles might help partially clear a few other players, or one or more scum will be caught/killed, or one or more NKs will be prevented in that time. Baring a NK being stopped or a scum being caught, all other night actions will likely become subjective and misleading past N4.

In most ideal scenarios there will be at least one scum alive past N4. In the worst case, all of them will still be alive and town is almost guaranteed to lose (surviving mylo/lylo for 4 nights is really hard to do). Even if there's only one scum left past N4, he has absolutely free reign to do as he pleases at night. At that point, he has to just avoid threats during the day and tactfully eliminate threats at night.

In other words, baring exceptional circumstances, these games are only slightly more difficult for scum than a game that doesn't have any TPRs at all.
