pienyan's Large Normal Review, August 2019

[schadd_]

oh i meant with the commuter unchanged as well - with that i'd say it's balanced. 2-shot commuter -> rolecop is a pretty huge improvement for scum, it close-to-doubles the rate at which PRs die - id call it not balanced anymore with that

[pienyan]

Hmmmm

I guess just giving them a rolecop only wouldn't be balanced either?

[schadd_]

yeah. i don't think commuter & bulletproof are very high impact so removing it wouldn't do much. i'm fine with having a rolecop here but you'd need to think about beefing up the town PRs

[Something_Smart]

Could make it a 1-shot rolecop or something.

[Something_Smart]

I don't think ascetic is inelegant; it solves a bunch of problems with that role at once, actually.

[schadd_]

yeah the thing to consider is that the player knows they weren't blocked, it's not just that it doesn't happen. like if you don't like the uncertain guilty component of this it basically means "either this person got roleblocked or commuted or something or they're scum" when you get a failed addition

[Something_Smart]

True.

I suppose if that's not something pie wants, you could do something like make the RB and the JK novice. Probably just making one of them novice would be fine tbh.

[pienyan]

Would what I posted with a 1x rolecop instead of a full one work, or still too imbalanced?

[schadd_]

hmm how about 1x rolecop and 2-shot loyal neighborizer or ascetic 1-shot or something

[pienyan]

hmm how about 1x rolecop and 2-shot loyal neighborizer

Sure *nod*

[schadd_]

/pass pending new role PMs

[Something_Smart]

That seems fine.

[pienyan]

Sorry for the delay; I may take a little longer to get around to writing the role PMs, my life has been hellish lately.

[schadd_]

np!

[implosion]

penguin will be stealing this, i believe, as pie seems to have siteflaked.
