Hi guys!

I noticed that Angels wasn't really used at all in warlock hunt, so I'm wondering if the 'stuff to do after you die' thing is actually desirable!

So this poll. It's a multi choice poll, so if you are ok with 2 things (say, nothing / something big) feel free to tick both.

Options are (with explanations)
- Nothing to do after you die (obvious)
- Something little to do after you die (Basically, angels)
- Something big to do after you die (Tentatively a revival mechanic, where every X days a dead player can be revived. So with this, obviously a dead player is not out of the game at all and can still have a significant effect on the game, whether they are town or scum). Also this post

 

Have different death roles assigned to each dead player so they play their own version of mafia on the Angels QT, their actions have repercussions in the real game (probably like protection) and the winner of the Angels Mafia games gets resurrected. MAFIACEPTION

 

I don't like the angel system - I think it makes everyone feel mad impotent, being unable to post and all...

When I get ganked, I want to know what happened, and who's who, immediately... :3

 

Either the current method, or revival could be interesting.

If the Angels had done more in the last couple days, the Witches could easily have been defeated that last game.(that and if you didn't do a quick eight-hour night at the end there, without getting any Angel Votes in... I was asleep)

/not really that bothered

 

On the last night, angels were unable to protect as less than 5 players were alive.

 

I'd enjoy it if we had a revival mechanic type deal for the afterlife. Maybe even have it so that revived people get a new role for being undead rather than living, picked at random from a list of after-death roles.

 

I'm just not a fan of the after death mechanic. Maybe it's just me, but I feel when you die, you die. And that's it.

 

Well, I would say either something like revival, or like Vesvius said, nothing at all. Angels voting for protection does serve a purpose, but it also relies on the Angels feeling like still participating in that capacity.

 

To clarify: With the 'something big to do' option, dying wouldn't really remove you from the game the way it does now, it'd just be a logical, natural extension to the game, and the mechanics would support this.

 

I think it depends upon the size of the game.

When you have a game of only 13 players like tinyhunt, angels make perfect sense. But when you have a game the size of warlock hunt, there is a certain fatigue factor of having to read through all the game posts along with the angel chat speculation. Especially when you have people like Kai, Fiat and Zeit alive posting like machines.

Personally, I think Angel chat needs to adopt the formal language of the main game to track votes on who to protect.

 

Not a massive fan of the revival idea. But I do like dhulli's idea, at least for one game. Having every game like that would get a bit old.

 

Alternatively, in addition to Angel protection, there could be a vote for Ghostly Haunting where dead people vote to Haunt someone living for a night and send them a message from beyond the grave.

 

Sounds like it'd come with some serious balance issues considering the kind of information the Angels have access to.

 

I don't know. I thought of anonymity limits - there would be no way to confirm identities of the haunters, etc...
