Believe in Rinze and be saved

It's better to believe in Revn right away and defeat everyone...

Actually, there is only one rule: Revenge.

Actually, there are twelve of them.

Belief in Zeal often has the opposite effect.

Actually, there are twelve of them.

Yashur after reading the first rule: where do I sign up?!

Lizard after reading the first rule: where do I sign up?!

You're just messing with us...:mad:

Or that.

I took the first character seriously, but it didn't pay off, so now I'm just having fun quietly. I still don't really want to die, so you definitely won't see any incredible moves from me.

I remember losing my first mage for Revan, and I really liked her. In another game, I messed up and lost a Dragonborn lady. Since then, I've been playing characters that I don't mind losing.

I can't wrap my head around why Wolf's suggestions were rejected, but you're willing to spend months grinding through elaborate scenarios (if not more).

Because scenarios are like D&D, only better. In a multiplayer game, you play against other players, but in a scenario, the players are a team whose task is to survive, at least partially. And of course, scenarios are: friendly duels, the opportunity to suck up to the queen for rewards, being terrified by the fruit you bought from a random merchant, wiping out the team because of the owner of an illegal business, exploding when opening a chest, the location of which you found in a note taken from the corpse of an opponent, and much more! It's so much fun!

As I understand it, those specific sets from Woolf and similar ones are a kind of hybrid of mafia and expert games. Moreover, the mafia component is much larger (90%).
From expert games come characters/roles with a bunch of stats (a much smaller bunch than in regular expert games). But the roles are ready-made, like in mafia.
From mafia come the NK roles (but many NK roles, not just 1-2) and the game's goal: kill everyone and win.
The fundamental difference is the absence of a team that clearly outnumbers the others (i.e., a town). That is, the ALLIANCE is a more important part of the game than calculating the "organized minority" (i.e., the mafia) and lynching them all.

It's unclear why this format "didn't click" with you, but the issue here clearly isn't the complexity of the sets... It's something else.

P.S. The HeroesWorld mafia format on that forum also didn't appeal to them. But the reason there was specifically the rejection of HeroesWorld rules, and it's simply impossible to play the format used here under their rules.

Revan wiped out my first mage, who I really liked. In another game, I lost a dragonborn lady. Since then, I've been creating characters that I don't care about.

I approached the current playthrough with the same mindset, but in reality, when Beata wiped out so easily, my first impulse was to take Gion, run to the Academy, and sell myself into anal slavery to the first necromancer I found, so they could resurrect her.

And then Ayko sorted everything out.

Waiting for a mafia-themed game for several years and missing out on two entire games...

So, after this, you don't respect us anymore, or what? :(

With a hangover,

fixed.

Another set is planned here.
With Queen Ologia and her partner Random.
So don't be upset.

So, you don't respect us anymore after this?

You'll be disappointed...

Sincerely,
