northsidegal's Mini Normal Review, March (barely) 2019

[RadiantCowbells]

Not having that kind of reliable confscumming makes the setup too easy for scum imo. I'll pass it but

[northsidegal]

thoughts on the 4th role being Vengeful?

[RadiantCowbells]

Very bad idea b/c it essentially gives town another clear in the sense that they can bring it to 3 way and lynch it

[RadiantCowbells]

For the purposes of an organized town it's essentially a clear.

[RadiantCowbells]

Like say on D3 there's 2 masons and 2 fruited players alive. Scum shot VT then loyal FV. Two VT lynches have occurred and the second bullet hit a PR yet town has automatically won the game

[northsidegal]

fair. trying to come up with a role that isn't just "you are here to eat fruit and die." but doesn't actually change much

[RadiantCowbells]

Have you considered

backup Gunsmith

[northsidegal]

i have considered

backup gunsmith

, yes

not sure how that isn't there to eat fruit and die

[RadiantCowbells]

Hmm

I dunno aorn

[RadiantCowbells]

1 shot bulletproof is ok.

[northsidegal]

@implo

[northsidegal]

1 shot bulletproof is ok.

sounds good

[northsidegal]

Mafia Complex Fruit Vendor
Mafia Goon
Mafia Goon

Town Loyal Fruit Vendor
Town Mason
Town Mason
Town 1-shot Bulletproof
VT * 6

would like to hear BnL's thoughts

[RadiantCowbells]

I think it needs a gunsmith

[implosion]

pst is the canonical timezone

[RadiantCowbells]

This is basically an MU cop 13er with an extra clear and more cover for the first two clears in exchange for the FV weirdness and scum.being able.to PR hunt

[RadiantCowbells]

And overlapping investigations I guess

[northsidegal]

aren't all mini normals basically MU cop 13ers plus and minus a few power roles when you think about it

[RadiantCowbells]

I think this is a lot more similar than you are giving credit for!

[northsidegal]

(i'm just joking)

[northsidegal]

bump

[BNL]

Is the 1-shot BP there to mess up the complex fruit vendor?
I don’t like it. It baits a failed kill from scum.

[northsidegal]

that was pretty much the idea. i want to have a 4th town role there for the mafia CFV to be able to get a hit on but one that isn't actually one that they actually benefit from shooting all that much

ideally this is some role that does at least

something

greater than only existing to be a red herring and get shot.

maybe like, messenger?

[BNL]

The BP isn’t going to play for baiting an investigation, meaning that whether or not the BP gets investigated comes down to dumb luck.

[northsidegal]

the loyal fruit vendors will not play for baiting an investigation. couldn't the exact same thing be said about whether or not they get targeted...?
