Hi! I wanted to say to thank the three of you guys for helping make this happen -- I enjoyed the game and the interactions I had within a lot. That said, there are some things I wanted to address. First in regards to the primary questions listed:
1. I do think it would've been a better idea in regards to the tasks event to maybe have the announcement immediately done so people wouldn't be waiting. Because I waited thinking it was a good idea but it was at the beginning of the week and took awhile, so it limited interaction for that particular day. Also, as a side note, I believe that it'd be better for announcements/and sign ups for tasks should be on the same day. Especially if there's going to be a time limit.
2. I think a more common 1:1 ratio should be used and furthermore, make sure that the dates for everything (i.e., sign up end times) are in a format that is not military format (aka just normal...) That confused a couple of people I know, besides me, so please adjust this one element to make sure there's less confusion in the future.
3. I don't have a preference.
Misc:
There's an issue I wanted to address with the trial in regards to evidence -- I don't mind there being not a lot of it as long as it can be used to somehow point to an individual when assembled, but you want to make sure it is also something that can be discovered. Keep in mind that we had some players that are new to the murdergame genre so maybe that should've been more simple than vague. But honestly my biggest issue of all is somehow being unable to undercover the murder weapon.
It was an issue because of the fact that there wasn't much definite evidence to point in someone's direction so it could've helped with more debate instead of people being left in the dark and confused. If there's less evidence, especially if it's important, you're going to want to make sure it's something to be found.
I honestly got lucky myself in figuring out it was Mira and it was honestly a blind guess. My runner up suspicion was Wayne and, yeah, you're not going to always catch the culprit in a murdergame. But once again I want to reiterate that it's a mock trial and if people are struggling with debate/piecing together evidence in a mock trial then something's wrong.
That's all I have for now. It's not as elegant as I'd like but I hope I got the point across. Hope to see you guys around again!
