Rules

(Shamelessly stolen from other moderators and changed to fit this game)

General
  1. I am the Mod and what I say goes. I reserve the right to change the rules or modkill/force-replace players as I see fit. If this happens, all players will be made aware of this fact.
  2. That being said, I am perfect. But somehow I still make mistakes, if you see one, let me know. If you questions, comments or whatever feel free to PM me.
  3. Preface all in-thread messages to the mod with
    @Mod
    .
  4. Punishment for breaking any of the following rules is on a case-by-case basis and is therefore not fixed.
  5. This is a game. Play to win, and have fun, because what’s the point if it’s not fun?
  6. DO NOT TALK ABOUT ONGOING GAMES.

  7. All Global Site Rules Apply

Posting and Voting
  1. I hereby reserve the colour
    #FF6000
    for mod use. Don't use it.
  2. Do not use invisible, encrypted, or ridiculously small text. Everything posted in the game thread should be public.
  3. All votes must be written in
    bold
    or use the VOTE: Player tag. Unvotes are helpful, but not necessary.
  4. Votes may
    not
    be contained inside quote, code, area, or spoiler tags.
  5. A lynch is reached when a majority of all players, half players alive plus one, are voting for the same target.
  6. If a majority is not reached by the deadline, a No Lynch will occur.

Activity and Deadlines
  1. This game runs at faster pace than typical for Normal games, each day Phase lasts 10 in real life days, and nights will last 2 in real life days.
  2. Failure to post within 36 hours without advance notice will result in a prod.
  3. You have 24 hours to respond to a prod, lest you be replaced. Regardless, three prods will result in a force-replacement.
  4. If your role gives you access to a Private Topic, you may request that a partner be poked. This will not count as an official prod.
  5. Please give notice of V/LA in-thread or via PM.
  6. If you are going to be V/LA for more than 5 days I will extremely encourage you to replace out.
  7. A missed Night Action will result in a No Action.

Game Setup
  1. This game will start with 13 players and will be a confirmed
    3:10
    setup.
  2. Please see the Normal Game Wiki for further description of what constitutes a normal game on MafiaScum.
  3. Mafia team has day chat.

Your definition of majority is wrong.

What result does the follower get if he follows the role stopper.

I'm thinking the set up looks balanced.

Protective.


And I believe half plus one is right.
I have used that definition for long time.

I can change it though, very semantic.

It doesn't matter because anyone reading will know you don't mean what you say and will ignore it for what they know to be correct. But in that case why say it?

FTR, this is the actual list of action categories. A Follower in a Normal context "is considered Normal on mafiascum.net, as long as it gives the results according to Natural Action Resolution/Normal Game".
Commute - Commuter
Blocking - Roleblocker, Rolestopper
Jailkeep - Jailkeeper
Protection - Doctor, Bodyguard
Miscellaneous - Neighborizer, Friendly Neighbor
Kill - Mafia factional kill, SK factional kill, Strongman, Vigilante
Role Investigation - Cop, Gunsmith, Role Cop, Vanilla Cop, Neapolitan
Action Investigation - Tracker, Watcher, Voyeur, Follower, Motion Detector
In my experience the list I gave in the previous post is how it's been used, but the list according to that NAR quote here works just as well, and will be what some newer players expect due to the Follower wiki wording.

Oh somehow I missed that there's actually a Jailkeeper in this game.

Either way please decide on a full list of potential Follower results - the one you gave in your original Role PM leaves out a lot of possibilities - and decide what the Jailkeeper follow will result in. (Note that you need to act as if, say, a Roleblocker was a possibility, because it doesn't fall under any of the potential results you first gave.)

Town actually doesn't have as much power as it seems against the 2 shot Jailkeeper, as all the Town PRs are unlikely to get meaningful guilties or innocents. The universal backup helps town but is a bit swingy. I'd honestly reduce the Maf JK to 1 shot here or just make it even night so as to not inhibit the Town Rolestopper.

I have seen follower used in normal games, and it didn't give these results.

This isn't normal as far as i know of.

I don't see scum communication mentioned anywhere, so I'm going to assume it's night-only and you're sending each one a PT link separate from their Role PMs

I'm fine with this (aka will approve) as long as you update the rules that a majority vote/lynch requires

1) half the number of living players, 2) rounded down, 3) plus one: for example [13/2 -> 6.5 -> 6 -> 7] or [10/2 -> 5 -> 5 -> 6]

because nothing else is accurate and you have to account for complete first-timers playing your game

anyone else have things to add?
