MOCK WEEK FEEDBACK POST

So the mock week is over!

This week...it fulfilled some of the expectations I had regarding how this’d go. Some things went great! Other things went well, other things didn’t work as expected, and some will need some serious rehauling. This mock week’s purpose not only was to introduce the setting and what kind of things could happen during the game, but to test the mechanics and see what’d need tinkering, and on that regard it could be said the week fulfilled its purpose.

We’ll need some feedback to work on and tailor this experience for your enjoyment! Please take some time to leave a note about what worked and what didn’t, if there was anything that discouraged you from posting, or if there was anything that should be changed for the main game.

In general these are the three big questions to answer:

1: Was there anything that may have dissuaded you from participating more in the game? For example, seeing a locked post for an event and deciding to wait for it to be over?

2: Did you find the 1:2 ratio confusing? Do you think you could get used to that ratio, or should a more common 1:1 ratio be used?

3: At what time should investigations on Friday be opened? Would you prefer them to happen at noon, or in the evening, say, around 7:00 PM EST?

Please leave your opinions and comments! You don’t have to limit yourself to answering only those three questions, touch any topic you want to touch!

1: Was there anything that may have dissuaded you from participating more in the game? For example, seeing a locked post for an event and deciding to wait for it to be over? I got messed over a lot by real life the past two weeks which ruined any activity I would have had. But I normally wait for locked posts to finish in murdergames before doing a top level. Just because having a silly moment in the evening seems odd if the locked post is someone suddenly being killed midday.

2: Did you find the 1:2 ratio confusing? Do you think you could get used to that ratio, or should a more common 1:1 ratio be used? ......I forgot?

3: At what time should investigations on Friday be opened? Would you prefer them to happen at noon, or in the evening, say, around 7:00 PM EST? It was fine for me. But I'm used to it going up right as I'm leaving work or on the bus home. I did have some trouble with the voting window though.

Only really problem I had was during the investigation. And that was how would news be spread? Because I left it vague if Wayne had heard about the body being found or not cause he'd avoid police and was the opposite side of town. But that might just be character specific.

Most my actual issues with things like activity and that was just life punching me in the face.

Overall I like the idea of murdergames were the culprit can escape. It handles the problem of 'This person is already good at murder and getting away with it'. It's also less worrying for me cause I always focus on the wrong stuff. And the whole accidentally voting wrong and dead ending the whole game.

And as much as I like big dramatic confessions. It seems less like working it out sometimes and just waiting for the culprits player to post it.

On the votes. I might as well say Wayne voted for Naoto. Oocly I was pretty sure it was Mira. It was the small-ish, not strong enough to carry the body and Wayne talking about guns with Naoto before. Nagisa could have been voted for too there, but he seemed a bit more competent at the whole body disposal bit.
