the worst's Mini Normal Review, January 2020

[PenguinPower]

I’m just going to take credit for mastina and implosion’s work. Thx.

(Just kidding. Ego post. I’m traveling this weekend but will take a look when we get to the hotel).

[PenguinPower]

So you want to take this:

So that'd be a proposed:
Town Informed Cop (there's a doctor)
Town odd night Roleblocker
Town Rolestopper
Town Combined Follower/Tracker

vs.
Scum Informed Doctor Activated Ascetic (there is a cop)
Informed Goon (there's an odd-night roleblocker)
Even Night Strongman

And:

- Remove daychat by default and make Goon an Encrypter
- Further nerf Town Roleblocker and Mafia Strongman?
- Add a Town Ascetic?

[PenguinPower]

I'm thinking how a 1s strongman plays out with Cop/CFT/Rolestopper atm. Is the right call nerfing the Strongman to 1s or maybe 2s and eliminating some informed info...

[PenguinPower]

I don't want to change the foundation of your setup. My concern is that there's two investigatives now + a protective and only one chance to prevent Follow The Cop/FT.

I mean, say the Cop gets run up Day 1 and claims, rolestopper is on Cop N1 and Strongman activates to kill the Cop. Now, say the FT gets run up Day 2 and claims, the rolestopper is on FT and scum have to rolestopper hunt while maybe getting blocked or taking a shot at the FT anyway and hope that the rolestopper gets roleblocked. Granted, the FT isn't getting clears like a Cop would early game, which is why I'm thinking still.

[PenguinPower]

Yeah ok. It’s swingy but you make a compelling argument.

[PenguinPower]

I'm fine with the roles if that wasn't clear - which I see now that it may not have been. Can we see ruleset/role pms?

[PenguinPower]

i'll advertise the game as 7/2 phases assuming that's ok with the nrg squad

Yeah, that's fine.

Everything looks good. What are your Follower results going to be? Blocking/Killing/Investigative/No Action?

[PenguinPower]

cool cool

/pass

[PenguinPower]

no active ability no result

wait...this should be "did not see anything" in a Normal

[PenguinPower]

Blocked results need to be distinct.

[PenguinPower]

cop inv
roleblocker blocking
rolestopper blocking
follower tracker inv (doesn't matter)
doctor protective
scum nightkill killing

no active ability = did not see anything
ascetic =

did not see anything

no result
blocked = no result

right?

Ascetic is "Ascetic: Actions that target you, other than kills, will fail as if roleblocked."

[PenguinPower]

yep.

/pass

I think for the purposes of this game they can be singular since they necessarily have to be on the same target and fall under the same classification.

Why is that on the NAR page and not the Follower page?
