It was so good to finally get to host again! I always loved the design of this game. It was mafia but with less reliable prediction; far more interesting.

I am currently investigating whether anyone would want me to host another game, specifically a test game. I want to investigate certain mechanics that could probably be removed from the game and make the game more sleek as a result.

Thank you for taking part too. You are all part of this game too!

TLDR I knew Direwolf was CJ because he was a high duelist that had made an even number of duel/dance challenges

Turns out when you can completely eliminate the possibility of Blacksmith/Musician you can catch people really easily

Why

Blackajack wrote:The Eagle takes a moment to stretch their bones and treat their bruises in the comfort of their room.

The past defeats had been difficult for the Eagle to accept; the Snake was just too good. With such high stakes on the line, losing at a time like this was unacceptable. Regardless, this game was not over. Not by a long shot - the game had just begun. That's at least what he was thinking as he washed his leg in a small water basin, courtesy of the court. One can imagine the immense costs of this entire 'game'.

As the Eagle finishes treating what remains of his bruises, he begins to hear footsteps, hard and firm, originating from outside his door. No surprise with the sleek wooden floors. As the Eagle turns to face the door to meet his supposed 'guest', the floor suddenly begins to cease creaking as the heavy sound of footsteps begins to increase in pace and volume. Naturally, the Eagle sense something wrong and moves to rise from the water basin only for the door to suddenly open with heavy force.

In one moment, there was only one in the room. And in the next, there was only one in the room. For by the time that moment was done, a gunshot had rung out from the room as the unfamiliar smell of gunpowder fills the air. A small iron ball, placed perfectly below the nostrils, had shattered the Eagle's jaw. And as their head fell back, bone seeping into the lung and eyes searching frantically, the last thing the Eagle sees is a brown-cloaked figure with a flintlock pistol in their hands and a strangely familiar mask on their face...


The Eagle has been murdered!

Generally:
    Game went mostly well.
    Made some mistakes.
    Some parts of the game frustrated me from it's design, mainly from what it mentions and what it doesn't. (This is primarily caused by myself for not being specific enough)

Specific points

Knight
Big wording issues as to whether Colosseum can be used when the knight is dead. In this example the user used the Colosseum right before getting executed. Nothing against the rolecard that says otherwise, but I don't think that should happen.

Court Jester
I hate moderating for court jester. The randomised aspect of it just makes it a pain to manage from the moderators POV.

Timed phases
Worked out rather well actually. Few times I had to extend but its good that you have the luxury available to you. We didn't have any drop outs or AFKs.

Death posts
Too strong. Won't run it again. No last will either.


Yeah the design could be a little bit more clear. I usually tends to asks the host how they handle some specific roles, or if they did not make any mistake when I get a little confused.

About the points.
I never run Knight, but if I do, I will highlight that it can issue the phase only at DP. (yeah, it downgrades a little, but come on, killing just because you are salty is not the point of the game, you should bet something on the line at least)

CJ.
I never had complications about CJs. (saying as I run already two CJs in the same game so I know what I am talking about, where I also had the issue how I compare them to each other if they get the same placement.)
And I love playing as CJ so I dont want to it removed.
A little trick which might help if you run it again.
Instead of randomizing numbers, you could easily just put below x role and the top of the list in your generator, which erase the confusion both in you and in the player as well.
And its an easy fix in spreadsheet or Excel too if you use alphabetic order in your challenges, you just write that role's number and an x,1 as the CJ's indicator. (or 0 if its the top.)

I agree on the rest.

Ehh.
It is also part of the bad design.
It should be "take part in a challenge" not "make a challenge" or we just using it pretty damn wrong, which I highly doubt as Blackajack is the main creator of BTM and blackmailer is a role since BTM 2.
(Oh right, Black just simply copied EP 7, the rolecard has the correct form in the BTM Hub)

Yeah my bad. I think a lot of the roles just need more clarification.
