    Okay so without talking about balance for the start the setup feels really horrible.
    If a traitor scums it the fuck up on day 1 and gets double investigated and cleared they can then basically walk to lylo
    I'm not a huge fan of all the potential for false negatives, not a fan of the fact that from mafia's pov the proper move is to hardbus the traitor enabler so they get all their scum as full scum even though it hurts them bad

    I'm not sure I'd ever pass this

    Like I'm okay on principle with the idea of double traitor and I like that but I do not the current mechanic around recruitment and I feel like it's way outside the bounds of what is expected in a normal game.

    I don't have concerns with normalcy (I think the traitor enabler works), and on a skim the roles/rules look good.
    I'm a bit concerned balance-wise though. The gunsmith is largely useless to the town--by the time it's likely to have its full utility (i.e., the traitor enabler is lynched), it'll have burned its shots.

    Similarly, the PT-cop is almost detrimental to the town. It gets a guilty on the masons, and it also will end up pseudo-clearing the traitors if they claim their neighborhood. I realize the intention of the mafia-mafia (well, traitor-traitor in this case) neighborhood is for them to be able to communicate to each other, but while they are technically guilties, they can just truthfully claim they hold a neighborhood and this will likely cause townreads on one or both of them. Furthermore, be it pre-conversion OR post-conversion (doesn't matter), the town is going to see one of them flip and think the other one is almost certainly town. They might (incorrectly) make the assumption that it was traitor-groupscum, but mhsmith has the stats (plus I have my own experience) which tells me otherwise; the town might catch one but won't catch them both.

    Even if you made the PT-cop a full rather than 2-shot, that wouldn't fix the problem.
    I'd drop the scum-scum neighborhood altogether.

    Basically what I'd like to see:
    -Make the gunsmith full
    -Drop the scum traitor neighborhood
    -Make the PT-cop either full or at least three-shot
    -Maybe even bump the power of the jailkeeper up.

    I just think that in the current setup, the town is hilariously underequipped.

    A Traitor is considered Normal on mafiascum.net, as long as it:
    is Mafia-aligned
    knows the identities of all of the Mafia team
    identity is not known by the Mafia team, although they should know a Traitor exists
    cannot be recruited to join the rest of the Mafia team, and (unless Bulletproof) is killed if shot

    EVen if technically as an enabler that would be 'normal' it's not normal. I will not pass this as is.

    Oh, I also just noticed the town's neighbors are
    miller
    neighbors.
    Millers return guilties to gunsmiths as well as cops, so that means the same problem the PT cop has also applies to the gunsmith.

    Now I'm all for a game where the town's investigative roles get innocents on scum and guilties on town--if the game has the appropriate balance to accommodate that.
    But right now literally the only accommodation against that is the 2x jailkeeper, which is ridiculously weak.

    I'd maybe call:
    Masons x 2
    Neighbors x 2
    Gunsmith
    PT Cop
    Jailkeeper

    vs.
    Traitors x 2
    Mafia Rolecop x2 (even then that might be a bit much)
    Mafia Traitor-enabler

    ...As balanced.

    I don't have the same problem RadiantCowbells does with the mechanic. But I do think the town absolutely needs far more power than they have in order to support using said mechanic, because even the above might be light on the town's side.

    If you do as one role the traitor enabler and one role your modified trabler I am willing to pass that counting the traitor as greylist.

    Currently the town is a joke too, yeah.

    EVen if technically as an enabler that would be 'normal' it's not normal. I will not pass this as is.
    The counterpoint to this:
    An Enabler has no active abilities, but are told what kind of power role they enable. If they die, that type of ability may no longer be used.

    This effect applies to all players with the enabled ability. A Doctor Enabler's death will cause every Doctor in the game to become useless.

    Normal Guidelines

    This role modifier is considered Normal on mafiascum.net, both with and without its primary role present. Enablers should be used for specific roles, not types of roles (e.g., Doctor instead of protective) and must be self-aware.
    From the Enabler page. If the enabled ability is 'traitor', then a traitor ceases to be a traitor.
    If a traitor ceases to be a traitor, then they become traitor - traitor. A mafia-aligned player that is without abilities = goon. So traitor, minus being a traitor, creates a goon.

    This is why I don't have an issue with normalcy.
    I do have an issue with balance though.

    It's true that most of the real abuse cases only occur after a traitor enabler flip: aka town already knows that bullshit happened

    but in general it's really questionable to have a slot give a false inno and then be required to be lynched for endgame wincon. it makes all your innos worthless.

    traitor being inno is fine because you can win without lynching the slot, but it eventually being added to the must-be-lynched-for-win group is bad.

    that's not a recruitment though

    when the traitor-enabler dies, the traitors are then goons, so it's not a recruitment of a traitor, but the traitor losing it's abilities

    Anyway, here's also what mastina said when I asked about this a month or so ago
    mastina wrote: However, if the Mafia Traitor is just a Mafia Traitor, and your intention is in fact that upon the death of the traitor enabler for the traitor to stop being a traitor, then I believe the traitor would join the mafia team and become a goon.

    -Not being able to kill (natural immunity to gunsmith)
    -Not being able to communicate
    -Being endgamed if the last scum alive thanks to not being able to kill
    -Knowing who the scumteam are.

    These are the things which I think of as being enabled by a traitor-enabler.
    So upon the death of the traitor-enabler, all but the last would go away I'd think...leaving a traitor who is, in fact, now a Vanilla Mafiate...aka, a Goon.

    tl;dr: Ambiguous, but if it's what the mod wants, the answer
    should
    be yes.

    And I stand by that answer, but I also stand by my stance that the setup you've given containing this mechanic is as it currently is horribly, tremendously, scumsided and that the town needs a severe boost in power and the scum a nerf in power in order for the mechanic to work.

    To put it another way--I think that the mechanic you've created,
    in of itself
    , is enough power for the mafia altogether. The town doesn't need negative utilities to lessen their powers (miller); the town doesn't need gated roles to lessen their powers (2x); the scum don't need roles to boost their power (neighborhood, maybe rolecop). Because the mafia already have an innately strong, powerful mechanic at their disposal.

    Oh I never disagreed with your assessment it's scumsided.

    The answer is that I don't think that traitor should be enabled just like I don't think innocent child or mason should be enabled. It's a fundamental property of a role with different informational requirements that you can't just change midgame. If it weren't for the interplay between the investigative roles and the traitors it wouldn't be such a big deal but I don't think this setup is at all fair for town simply because of how far from normal the traitors currently function, unless you just throw a shitton of power onto town to make up for it in which case it's hardly a normal game at all.

    I will never change my mind on this. If Nexus says that it's okay I'll step down from reviewing this and bring this up in the NRG because I don't like this mechanic in a normal game whatsoever.

    At the very least all the information about this mechanic would need to be public knowledge.

    wait so what is the problem

    you want a traitor enabler which would make a traitor a 'mafia x' if it dies?

    no.
