[OOC] Murderverse OOC

[Kennifer]

I just feel like we need to hit that sweet spot where there's just enough evidence of any sort (whether it's physical evidence or one of the roles with the right abilities seeing something) to figure out what happened or what could have happened without it being too obvious in who it's pointing to. Unless the killer actually does get super sloppy or it's say... like in Toontown where there was a day kill with an actual witness. (And even then, having it look obvious but be part of a frame job adds a layer of something interesting and it's so rare to get a mislim these days; iirc Steambot was the first mislim in ages and a lot of that was due to annoyance as much as "hmm yes these clues could point to him".)

It's less fun if it's too easy or too difficult, no matter which side you're on.

And yeah I think killers using a variety of methods is good... there's a lot of variety in the characters entered so kinda tailoring a kill to whoever is being killed is just as interesting as the host tailoring an execution to whoever is voted off. It'd be boring if the host just executed everyone by shooting them in the head. (Plus if someone does the same kill over and over, even if there's very limited evidence, I'd expect town to realize "oh hey these victims all died the same way" and try to narrow down their investigation methods due to having at least a shred of an idea what they're looking for... rather than seeing "okay this one was burnt to death, this one drowned, this one we can't even find the body beyond some blood stains, and this one seems to have been poisoned somehow" and having to tailor the investigation to those specific kills.

...please note I have not had coffee yet and am barely awake (hooray for sleeping late Sunday mornings) so this may be more rambly and nonsensical than I'd hoped.
