It has certain gameplay "issues": - Like death and you are out (that's issue in the original werewolf party game as well). - It's less strategic and more action oriented (not necessarily a bad one, but it changes the gameplay idea a bit) - Anyone can decide a "lynch". Then they lose karma points if they shot the wrong guy. In "Who's the Traitor" (card game) there's similar mechanism and the game quickly degenerates into people just shooting around. Karma points keep things slightly cleaner in TTT mod, but thought to mention anyway. - Clearer "what to do" pointers, and no time to think: now the game is quite hectic where people really don't have enough time to draw conclusions on things. On a good side it is an interesting how "body reaction" can be visible in a computer screen. You can learn quite a bit from just watching what the other player do and how they move. For example, innocents seem to be very suspicious, while traitors can turn their back easier... It's also very exciting to play as a traitor in TTT. It has potential, and that $5k prize it very well deserves. And... this mod is more action oriented. I can do something slightly different. :) Yeh, that’s the mod I’m talking about.
