Order of Operations

So okay this is just to talk about something that is in behind the scenes in mafia games but is never really talked about much (as far as I am aware of I haven't seen a talk about order of operations).

So 99% of games on the site use NAR.

When I first started playing mafia online, it was through sc2mod and we had a different operations like this:
The SC2Mod Operations

To add more to this when I played forum mafia there, all setups are normally semi open. That is a setup is proposed a person reviews and players can ask questions about it and then its played with it, a order of operations for the roles that are in the game is put in. This is order for just this game.

So I am wondering why don't we have more hosts who tamper with the order here?

Too add onto this rambling on talking about more complex role/operations. I have a friend who created (I can't find if he posted it) a completely more complicated version of a order of operations where each role was expanded to its function being a "Visiting" or "Targeting" a player. So for instance a Tracker might see a person
visiting
but not targeting a player. Likewise kills could be visiting or targeting. The operations likewise were more complex but generally targeting roles went first over visiting.

Ramble over.

It's mostly to make setups more interesting and possibly less vanilla townie centric.

I mean any kind of complex order of operations is kind of gimmicky because it has limited application.
