Hmm, seems good so far, but I would get in trouble for approving it off of post 0 alone.

Inherently rather swingy because the scum are super-reliant on the roleblocker living and while the town isn't reliant on its roles per se you can definitely see how they would be at an advantage or disadvantage depending on how hidden they are and how effectively they locate scum.

But it is also dead on the mark balance-wise I'd say. I don't think the setup's scumsided; I don't think the setup's townsided. By both metrics to judge by (well definitely by the theoretical/purely-by-numbers way, and probably also by-play), I'd call this setup either right on the balance mark or so close to it that any change which would be made would royally fuck up the balance to the detriment of the setup.

So assuming the inherent swinginess is okay with your design intention, then yeah, I'm
/pass
ing this as-is.

Right, I don't think it's possible to make small changes to make this more balanced, so it's in a local optimum as it is (and a 9p is always going to be somewhat swingy).

Do we need role PMs?

Welcome to
game
! You are a
Vanilla Townie
.

You have no night actions.

You win when all the Mafia have been eliminated.

Confirm by replying to this PM with a summary of your role.


Welcome to
game
! You are a
Town Traffic Analyst
.

Each night, you may choose a player. You will learn whether that player shares a private topic with another (i.e. that player is a member of a private topic, and another living player is also a member of that private topic; a player who is alone in a private topic will give the same results as a player who cannot access a private topic at all).

You win when all the Mafia have been eliminated.

Confirm by replying to this PM with a summary of your role.

Results: "
target
shares a private topic with someone."; "
target
does not share a private topic with anyone."; (if roleblocked) "Your action failed, and you did not receive a result.".

Welcome to
game
! You are a
Town Tracker
.

Each night, you may choose a player. You will learn who (if anyone) that player targeted that night.

You win when all the Mafia have been eliminated.

Confirm by replying to this PM with a summary of your role.

Results: "
target
targeted
player
last night."; (if targeting the Multitasking Roleblocker, who in turn targeted two different people) "
target
targeted
player
and
player
last night."; "
target
did not target anyone last night."; (if roleblocked) "Your action failed, and you did not receive a result.".

Welcome to
game
! You are a
Mafia Multitasking Roleblocker
.

Your partner is
name
; you may communicate with them at any time (confirmations, day phases, and night phases) in
this thread
.
Each night, one member of your faction may shoot another player (post your choice of target in your factional communication thread); that player will be eliminated.
Additionally, each night, you may choose a player; that player's night actions will fail. Because you are Multitasking, you may perform this action and a factional action at the same time.

You win when all townies have been (or inevitably will be) eliminated.

And this setup will, in fact, be next up after schadd_'s game, to be run by Thespio.

Come to think of it, the win conditions accidentally confirm non-multiball (although that's unlikely to have a huge balance impact at all).

It should be "You win when all non-town players have been eliminated.", "You win when all non-Mafia have been (or inevitably will be) eliminated.". Of course, if the mod chooses to confirm 7:2 anyway, it won't matter.

Actually, since the rule change to Normals, not an issue as the game is under the size of 14; any game with 13 or fewer cannot be multiball and cannot have a serial killer.

Oh, in that case it doesn't matter, and we may as well be clear.
