Should accusing wrong make you lose to those who didn't accuse at all?

Post by xbazinga »

Currently you start the game with 1 point and lose that point if you accuse wrong. This makes players who accuse wrong be classified below those who never accused at all. I think this is unnecessary and possibly harmful to the gameplay.

The rules of the game say nothing about extra punishment for accusing wrong. There is a winner (the person who accused correctly) and everyone else loses.

Other deduction games (e.g. Break the code, 13 clues) don't have this kind of punishment and I think it's working good.

What do you think?

If you have something to suggest please use bug/suggestion system instead, as the system will immediately notify the developer.

I thought of this but wanted to ask the community first and only then suggest it to the developer.

You can do so after posting your report as well.
Anyway, suggestion accepted. Now all players score either 1 or 0.
