Do the turkey peens give an alignment bump, too?

From what I remember of my “percentage” values earlier:

64% good -> 10 good, 1 evil

78% evil -> 1 good, 19 evil

86% evil -> 1 good, 20 evil

56% good -> 7 good, 1 evil

Evil.

And now if only alignment affected gameplay..

I wonder if people with neutral alignment will be able to get all three turkey peens.

Here’s to hoping! I know some people have all 3 turkey peens already.

20% good to neutral

My bizarro clone went 20% evil to neutral…go figure

ET, the spot evidence itt shows that there’s a disproportional number of Neutrals. Have you run a spread analysis? And compared it to ones where the difference for the Neutral name is 4, or 3, rather than 5?

Yup I did a fairly big analysis. The truth is most people don’t play the game particularly evil or good. So many in fact, that the only way of getting close to an even distribution would be to make the margin 1, in which case just making one choice would change you, and I don’t like that idea at all.

Better to have a small (but loyal!) percentage of players as good/evil then make it super easy to swap back and forth because most people waiver.

Good: 2

Evil: 12

Alignment: Evil

It’s still tough to evaluate a threshold, though. As in, how many points someone needs to have to cross over into Evil or Good territory.

I know you guys just respec’d these, but perhaps you would consider a single axis sliding scale, sort of like Baldur’s Gate Reputation stat. You spot people a Rep of 10, and for every Evil option that decrease Rep by 1, or increases Rep by 1 for Good options.

Anywhere from 0-20 would be neutral. -1 to -∞ would be Evil, 21 to ∞ would be Good. With a Rep of 10, people would still be Neutral by the end of Episode 1, but should they continue to push for a single alignment they’d start to go into defined alignment territory.

It would be very easy with this system for what one would have to do to maintain a neutral alignment, since they’d know exactly how many good/evil options they’d have to pick to maintain neutral, and people wouldn’t have to worry about being mean to Dr. O (if they really don’t like him) because it would influence how they’d talk to WoeIsModerator.

One thing I like about the two point system though, is that we can allow evil options for people if they have sufficient evil points, even if they’ve been good too, like in the Episode 2 Suicide Game.
