Umlaut's Mini Normal Review, May 2020

i dont think its townsided. i'd call it close to balanced but slightly worrying. only slightly though. in particular, the disloyal fruit vendor and universal backup can get useless pretty quickly - if, for instance, the disloyal fruit vendor gets lynched or killed early, the unversal backup becomes close to useless as well as the mafia will (probably) be hesitant to claim having received fruit. also, inheriting traffic analyst will often be pretty bad and inheriting tracker will often be pretty good. the disloyal fv itself also has a lot of uncertainty with it by nature - it becomes useless if it claims & it gets all of its strength from mafia deciding to claim the fruit receipt, which means it might get thrown off by something pretty random (or at least hard for the user to sort out)

traffic analyst and tracker complement each other nicely - one is useless with one scum left and one is strongest with one scum left. a traffic analyst guilty can be circumvented by claiming a neighborhood with a scum partner but that's hard to pull off and won't happen often.

all in all none of these things are a dealbreaker though if you are happy with the setup and i don't think there's too much investigative power. agree with umlaut that mafia wouldn't be likely to assume there's a doctor or somesuch.

i'll pass pending role PMs

actually i think i would be happier with a weaker town but my vector of attack would be the UB

something like UB -> night 3 rolecop would make me happy

in particular i agree getting rid of the dfv all the way makes it scumsided but you can fix the problem of weird inheritances by making the UB a weak role instead of making the dfv one

neighbors aren't really counted as PRs, historically they don't change winrates much - think that dampens the town power too much

UB -> night 4 vigilante ?

[schadd_]

great !

meant to pass it last night. yes

oh i already assume everything has daytalk. yea thats fine. youd need to disclaim that though.
