I keep seeing this crop up as a talking point and I just want to reinforce that when the GMs participating in this conversation say they may reroll because a Mafia team consists of all new players, they are not talking about players that have played 1-2 games. They are talking about completely unkn...

I'd again like to stress this is a rare occurrence.

You can safely assume that any given game has not been randed for any special reason.

For what it’s worth, I would much prefer complete randomization of role assignments over adjustments of this kind. The kinds of issues Chaqa brings up here, in my view, should be managed by who is allowed into the game, if at all. I think that the best rule is that, if a GM allows a player into a g...

I've got a few. Some of them I do not necessarily want to point out or call out specific players, but here are two "hypothetical" situations: 1. A game with 4 mafia where the assigned mafia were three brand new players and one player who has to this point been modkilled or replaced for inactivity/d...

As a GM, I do not find it funny. There are many things GMs deal with and a game like that or a game with lots of drama leads to a ton of work on the GM's part in finding subs, dealing with punishments, and ensuring that all of the hours and days we put into the game are worth it. I think the perspe...

Honestly I find this conversation tiring. We run games because we enjoy seeing the interesting outcomes of the setups we make. There is no personal gain to be had, no money to be made, and no incentive to play favorites. The incentive is to create a fun and un-scuffed environment and I feel we as GM...

I don't feel great about it. It makes me think back to some things that happened over and over again in games I recall playing here (e.g., Fluminator was always a PR, demonoverlord was always VT). I am surprised that I seem to be the only person who thinks this is a problem. I think you are looking...

Let's all take a breather. I don't think anything has been meant too personally

It is very rare I find myself in completely agreement with brainbomb, but this is one of those times. I have run enough games and I believe people know my character enough to know that anything that has been done has been done with good reasons and sparingly.

For what it's worth, one player continually rolling the same role is not a reason I have or would re-roll for. There are very few specific things that constitute a re-roll in my eyes, such as what I'll call "woops, all new players"

I only think that the game would be better with more oversight now that I know the general sentiments on randomization that you stated and quoted. How do you feel knowing this has always been how it is, and you were just blissfully unaware? I don't think it's super common, but it's a tool in the GM...

the result is still random, im just allowed to see a spread of possibilites and choose one. I dont find that to be a flawed way to do things. Truly, the fact that you think this is not flawed (i.e., randing three times and picking your favorite) is a big concern. I believe that the whole point of t...

Just a quick rule clarification coming out of a post-game discussion from M88: I think it is important that role assignment be 100% random. There should be zero room for any GM to have any input at all, including re-randomizing roles after they've been randomized once. Curious to know if there are ...

Sweet is the clear MVP in my eyes.

I had a great time, thanks Chaqa for putting on the game and tolerating my mountains of messages.

I did my best to copy them to Discord but I missed some

TOWN has won!
