Mock round questionnaire

[foundationmods]

Hey there! With the mock round over, we wanted to get your opinions on what worked and what didn't work. We're going to be tooling with the game mechanics we tested out in preparation for round 3, so your input here is valuable! Just fill out the questions below and let us know your thoughts.

If you did not participate in the mock round but followed along and want to give your opinions, then you are welcome to do so!

Questionnaire

1: What are your thoughts on the truth system? Was it easy to understand and use? Or do you think any part of it needs to be changed to make it work better? (we do plan on using the mock round for examples of how the trials will go, so people apping in to round 3 will have examples to base their trials on.)

2: Given the nature of how the trials work (magical explanations vs mundane ones), do you think the mock round worked better with all powers off, or with powers on? Which way do you think would be better to go with for round 3? (this would only affect round 3, and not subsequent rounds.)

3: Do you like the new start time for investigations? (noon EST on Friday instead of 6pm) Or should we go back to the old time?

4: Any other comments or critique about the mock round (and what to do for round 3) should go here.

It was very easy to understand, after watching it get put into practice! This was incredibly fun to watch, in fact, even if I'm sad I didn't get to do one.

2: Given the nature of how the trials work (magical explanations vs mundane ones), do you think the mock round worked better with all powers off, or with powers on? Which way do you think would be better to go with for round 3? (this would only affect round 3, and not subsequent rounds.)

I had more fun with the powers on. I didn't see a huge difference with trial, either way. Both ended with culprit getting caught.

3: Do you like the new start time for investigations? (noon EST on Friday instead of 6pm) Or should we go back to the old time?

I'm okay with either time, so long as it's established ahead of time.

4: Any other comments or critique about the mock round (and what to do for round 3) should go here.

Iiiiiii did not appreciate such a drastic last minute (night before) change with investigation, the first time. Six hours is a huge difference to run with on such short notice, and something closer to middle ground could have made it fairer, I think.

(And, on another personal note, I would have been incredibly sad to have to miss the investigation I had a hand in making happen.)

That said, I do understand that we need majority there for these things. Maybe you guys could put the calendar in a place that's a little difficult to miss, and then link it in the announcements at the start of each round?

In any case, I HAD A LOT OF FUN!!! You guys are such a blast to work with and learn from, honestly. Thank you both for all your hard work, and THANK YOU, ESKI, FOR MAKING THOSE TRIALS WHAT THEY WERE. You did a phenomenal job at running them, and I am so excited for the upcoming round! ♥

Quick mention right away that we're gonna do like we did last round and have a big block of links in the mingle post every week, and that'll include the calendar! We just didn't do it this round due to being like 'hgggh that's a lot of upkeep for something that's gonna run just two weeks man', but it'll definitely be more visible for r3.

Awesome! That'll definitely help, I think.
