Don't let living players see when dead players leave

[maccabbe]

Can the map be edited so living players are not notified when dead players leave, at least until they die? I've seen many dead mafia member leave when a player is put on stand and thought well that's pretty suspicious.

[SuperJack]

Hmm interesting. I think this is a fine idea, happened many times to me to.

[Raptorblaze]

Not really for or against this change, it's incredibly unreliable information.

[SuperJack]

But it's unreliable information that could be misused with the right words.

[Deantwo]

what about... just delaying the information?

so that if a dead player leave it's be delayed by like 2 minutes...

message could then be changed to "Deantwo's Soul departed 2 minutes ago" or something ^^;

[CardiffKilla]

I think this is a good idea. 5 stars for me.

It's annoying when a member of the mafia goes on trial, and a dead member leaves the game. Whenever I see this as a town player, I vote guilty every time.

Why? is there a need for alive players to know if a dead player leaves?

i support this change, maccabe

[Brigade]

Also if someone quits while on the stand, it would prevent two lynchings in one day (since everyone innos and votes someone else up). I like it for game balance purposes.

Bump + 5 Stars.

imo it shouldn't be done, because it would affect alive players decisions late game, as in should arson kill himself for the hoist achiev, or should he just wait a little longer and go for the win. if he doesn't know there aren't at least 5 players left in the room he wont get the achievement and so he should just go for the win.

so overall I say leave as is.

It wont affect the arso, because the game will still notify you if alive players leave the game. Its only the people who are already dead.

[Cryptonic]

No, it's a good idea.
It's always embarrassing when there are like 2 town and 1 maf left, and they vote up the Mafia to see their defense and it goes:
Consigliere's soul has departed.
Consort's soul has departed.

HMMM I wonder who that last Mafia member is?

just an idea as to not remove the notice totally...
i mean if people think it's a good thing that we can see when people leave... i am just saying that there's a way it could be made so we can still see they left but it won't have any impact on the game ^^

yup i agree ^^

it is very easy to guess who is the mafia when he's old mates suddenly leave XD

[SuperJack]

Perhaps at the end of the night you see whom has left?

[Voss]

i leave whenever my last teammate goes up 2 trial. not waiting around to have my stats changed for the worse.

[fred]

The only problem with this i forsee:

1: Does b.net force the message...
2: Is it possible to delay the message.

[Necroplant]

Is this game modification even possible? How can you hide the fact that a SC2 player has left a custom game? Is there even an option for this in the editor?

[louiswill]

I often intentionally leave as mafia and push a town on the trial to die,

but I am not sure how the game goes afterward because I left.

[Elixir]

Won't have a massive impact either way imo so I'm not against it if thats what people want.

Surely this is possible if:
The game alert tells players that (Battlenet ID) has left the game, and not (In-game name) has left.

It would make it much less obvious, or rather hide the identity of the players who leave.

[TheComedian]

I guess I'm the only person who actually prefers players true identity to be revealed when they die. This way people who know each other can have fun wondering who the others are, and know when someone they knew died.

Why I always use the unique LW I got, it's fun (+ some people think they really do get an achievement when I die, lol).

[Admiral]

Why not for both living and dead? Just delay it by a night.

[TheComedian]

I think it's funny when someone is lynched and you see them ragequit immediately. I don't know why, but I think there is a kind of charm to it, this direct feedback from player actions.

So I think this idea of a delay would be sad.

[Noctis]

Would it be possible just to have "A soul has departed"?

[Titus]

I agree. A soul has departed gives no realistic information and should be used ideally.

Seeing a name depart before the night sequence gives a lot of people a headstart as to who is going to die, especially because the fake name and not the blizzard name shows up as departed.

But I would still suggest the option to see when a player dies, who died.

That would be a lot of fun for those of us who recognize others online, and for rivalry.
(I know that some hardcore players might think this changes their meta game during their inhouse competitions, so I suggest it as a setting).

the true identity of players are best hidden.... it can lead to all sorts of meta gaming or other bad things if this happens...

best keep this at the end of the game like it is now

Would it be possible just to have "A soul has departed"?

this would still be bad in times where there's only one factions members dead... having it delayed to after trials would be best

I guess this is simply a condition of the Starcraft mafia game.

You're right about the meta-gaming, I've adopted a name I use almost every game which has led to day 2 accusations/lunches , n1 executions and general me dying before day 3 antics cause I'm pretty good at spotting/being scum.

[Lazers]
