Zoom in on these SpyParty Joystiq E3 meetup stats

@MarkezJM It's mostly just that there were only 35 games played that night, so 10 just means 29% Sniper kills. I talk about the slight Spy bias in the blog post (I'm also counting the Spy running out of time for the Sniper right now, which brings the total to 37%). I'm testing some tutorializing techniques that give the Spy a slight advantage in the early games as part of the playtests. There's more info in the post.

It's freaking late! That's what happened.

@JMGQ

I admit to the typos, but "pore" is correct.

@Tihn Hi there, I don't actually think you played the game at E3, I think you're just trolling. You posted similar comments in the previous SpyParty E3 post (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/06/07/e3-reader-meetup-spyparty/), implying you've played it and didn't like it (plus some bonus general anti-indie nonsense), but now you're saying you played it at E3. I watched all of the games, took pictures of most of the playsessions, and talked to the people who played, and I'm guessing you weren't one of them.

I'm 100% okay with people not liking the game if they've played it, and feedback is super useful, but posting troll comments without having played the game is pretty weak.

If you can, come to PAX West this year and actually give it a try, and if you still hate it, post away. If you do end up hating it, it would also be helpful to post what you didn't like about it, since well-thought-out criticism is very valuable.

Thanks!

@PN04

Those aren’t shot lines. They’re position + sight direction lines for the sniper over the course of one game. See the linked blog post for details.

@MacMog Yeah, exactly, although PN04 has a good point, I should make an image of all the final shots to see if there's any pattern!
