Mizzytastic's Large Normal Review, February 2022

[implosion]

/in to mod large

currently modding a mini theme but I have the worst as a backup mod for this game

The setup is below, I'll post role pms and rules and stuff once the design thread is up. My rules will be pretty much the same as a previous normal so there shouldn't be much of an issue.

19 Players 14:5

Mafia Informed Neighbour (The traitor is bulletproof, and not a neighbour)
Mafia 4-Shot Follower
Mafia 2-Shot Alien
Mafia Goon
Mafia Bulletproof Traitor

Town Indecisive Doctor Neighbour
Town Ascetic Neighbour
Town Neighbour

Town Mason
Town Mason

Town Traffic Analyst
Town Compulsive Roaming Fruit Vendor, 2-Shot Vigilante (compulsive to either vend fruit or shoot, roaming only on the fruit vendor)
3-Shot Psychologist

6xVT

Balance tweeks

If it's too scum sided I feel like the best solution is making the traitor public information, or making the alien just a jailkeeper or even a doc. Alternatively getting rid of the ascetic.

If it's too townsided the place I'd start is making the psychologist have to act on later nights to up their potential misses, or just giving the vig one shot. Alternatively make the informed neighbour know about a town powerole as well as the traitor, or make one of the mafia power roles a neighbour instead of a town member (I want to keep at least one goon in this set up)

Variants

I was considering a variant where the traitor is a mailman on something like night-3, so they can let the mafia know who they are but on that night the traffic analyst pings on all scum. Another variant I was considering was a 3 player masonry where they start with 1 mason informed that the others will join later and one joining night-2 and one joining night-4 but I figured it was too complicated. If you think this ideas would improve the game I'd love to incorporate them.

My questions

My understanding is mafia flips would be altered to conceal the existence of the traitor but I want to be sure?

What does a psychologist see if they target a person the night they kill? My assumpton is it is based on not having killed at the start of the night

[implosion]

14:5 with traitor at a baseline is probably about an average ratio in terms of balance (13:4 and 16:5 are both sort of standard-ish in ratios by the normal scaling rule). The neighborhood as it exists here is probably a little +town because i'd probably guess there's one scum in it. With all that aside, town's power is essentially:

indecisive doc
2-shot vig (fruit vendor is fine to put on this but doesn't make it much stronger since it'll already be confirmed-ish town as the vig)
3-shot psychologist (probably decently likely to get a guilty)
traffic analyst
mason pair

All of these are pretty solid roles. Doc is kind of weak in a large but there is a good amount of potential for a big confirmed town core between masons and the vig and potential traffic analyst negatives (which aren't truly conftown with a traitor but). As a whole I think it might be a bit much town power, I'd maybe nerf the psychologist in particular? I don't think it's egregious, and I think the set of roles makes nice sense together.

[Mizzytastic]

The intent with the fruit vendor was to allow the follower to spot something on nights the vig doesn't shoot.

If I was gonna weaken the psychologist, my first instinct is to remove a shot and/or make it novice, or even night. I also like the idea of informing the mafia there is a psychologist as a nerf, because it tells the mafia to spread out the kills. The other town nerf I like the idea of is making one of the mafia night actions a neighbour and moving the ascetic onto a VT, but I understand the scumswing between a 1:3 and a 2:2 neighbourhood is quite big.


I'll get the rules and role PMs up some time today

[Isis]

Can we run this with mafia informed of psychologist

I don't think you need other changes. 5 scum can influence 14 players pretty well

Important Events

Night 0

:

Pregame

Feedback on rules/format at any point during the game via PM will be appreciated. Evolution of my rules/formatting has been inspired by Korina and Plotinus, and feedback from xofelf.

Golden Rule

Golden Rule

: If I think it counts it counts. Don't play around with edge cases then plead you didn't mean it to be interpreted that way.

Content and Etiquette

Site Rules

: Follow all site rules. Common mistakes are talking about ongoing games and discussing replacements, and players not playing to achieve their win condition.

Keep it civil

: This is a game where we get to call each other scum and manipulate and lie to others. Beyond that please keep it civil, I don't ever want to reach the point where I don't want to read the game I'm running. If you feel like a player has gone too far but hasn't stopped after you ask them to please contact me.

Readibility

: Everyone should be able to read your posts. This is an English language site so use English. Avoid using text

smaller than 75

. Don't use BBCode features in a way that makes your posts difficult to read.

Concealed messages

: Cryptography is not permitted. Steganography (hidden text/messages) is not permitted other than breadcrumming.

Provable randomness

: You are not permitted to use a provably random or pseudo-random (most computer generated random numbers) results in the game. Saying you did without showing the evidence is not provable and so permitted.

Communications and Private Threads

Other threads

: You may talk in any game threads you have access to at any time, unless specified elsewhere (e.g. the

Game Setup

post or your Role PM).

Private Notes Thread

: You may request a private note thread. You may post in that thread at any time.

Quoting

: Quoting this thread in this thread is always ok. You may quote this thread in other game related threads you have access to. You may not quote any other game related threads in this one. You may draft a post in a private notes thread, but copy and paste the content without quote tags. You may not quote any mod communications. Paraphrasing any of these things is ok, creating a fake quote is not.

Claiming mafia

: Part of paraphrasing mod communications is claiming roles. Claiming to be part of an anti-town faction is ok. Many mods ban claiming your team mates, whether real or faked. If you do want to claim your team mates, real or fake, I ask you to strongly consider if it could be considered playing against your win con and check with me if you are unsure.

Redactions

: The

Dead and Spectators Thread

will be released at the end of the game. Any other threads will be released 48 hours after game end, or when all players in them have said it is ok to release them. You can use that 48 hours to redact posts or request the thread isn't released.

Communicating with the mod

: If you want to VOTE: XXXX or UNVOTE: XXXX use the appropriate tags, I skim looking for those tags when doing a vote count and may miss it otherwise. If you want to get my attention for some other reason

bold

it or PM me, otherwise I may miss it and not answer.

Mod Colour

:

#8000FF

is my prefered colour. You can use it but don't

bold

it, or use it to imitate me.

Deadlines, Activity and V/LA

Pre-game

: The game is locked during pre-game and confirmation. Once all Role PMs have been sent people have 48 hours to reply via PM or the

Mafia Private Thread

with their role and alignment. The game will start after more than 75% of players have confirmed or the 48 hours have passed, after which unconfirmed players will be replaced.

Day-time

: Day 1 lasts for 10 days (240 hours). Later days last for 8 days (192 hours).

Night-time

: Night lasts for 48 hours. The game thread is locked during night. See

Night Actions

in the next section for more info about how they work.

Quick night

: If all living players request a quick night, I will resolve the night phase as soon as possible.

Prods and replacements

: You will be prodded after not posting for 48 hours, or 72 hours over the weekend or when

V/LA

. You will have 24 hours to post or be replaced. If you are prodded 3 times you will be replaced. If you repeatedly post close to prod timer or respond to prods without game advancing content I reserve the right to give you stricter activity requirements.

V/LA

: You can go Vacation/Low Access by requesting in thread, by PM or the option in your User Control Panel. If you are V/LA for longer than 72 hours with no expectation of access request a replacement instead. I reserve the right to seek a replacement if a player is V/LA for a long period of time.

Game Actions and Death

Voting

: You can vote for a player or a no elimination with VOTE: XXXX vote tags. If a majority is reached that player will be eliminated and the game will enter twilight. If at least half of the players vote for no elimination no one will be eliminated and the game will enter twilight. If the deadline for the day is reached without a majority no one is eliminated. (

bolded

votes will be counted but I am very likely to miss them so please don't)

Twilight

: Twilight is the time period between a majority vote or deadline and me locking the thread. The voted player is not currently dead and may talk normally. Votes are no longer counted.

Death

: You are dead once I have revealed your role and alignment. You will gain access to the

Dead and Spectators Thread

. You may still post in a Private Notes Thread but not in any other game threads, not even a contentless BAH post.

Night Actions

: Night actions can be submitted by PM or the

Mafia Private Thread

. You will be reminded of any pending night actions 24 hours before night ends - this is not a prod. Night actions submitted after the deadline but before I process the results are forfeited.

Setup

Day talk

: If you are a member of a shared private thread you may talk there at any time, including the day, as long as you are alive, unless your Role PM says otherwise.

Action Resolution and Multitasking

: Actions are resolved according to Natural Action Resolution. If you have multiple night actions available you may only perform one unless your Role PM says otherwise.

Win Conditions

: Win conditions for

Town

and

Mafia

are as follows:

Town

: You win when all threats to the town are dead, and at least 1 town aligned player is alive.

Mafia

: You win when all players not aligned with you are dead or nothing can prevent that from happening, and at least 1 mafia aligned player is alive.

[Mizzytastic]

With reference to my questions from my initial PM, I've read the wiki on the psychologist and now know that even killing the same night as investigates is enough for a negative.

Do you need the alternate version of scum role PMs I'll post on a flip to conceal the existance of the traitor?

[implosion]

Can we run this with mafia informed of psychologist

I don't think you need other changes. 5 scum can influence 14 players pretty well

I'm also good with this.

Do you need the alternate version of scum role PMs I'll post on a flip to conceal the existance of the traitor?

I personally think best practices in normal games are to not post role PMs on death at all, to avoid mistakes when there's something like this that needs to be redacted that you forget to redact. That said if you are thinking about these things in advance, relatively unlikely you'll make that mistake. If you are flipping them then sure, probably good to take a look.

[Isis]

Post stuff in here so I don't forget to review role PMs and it bumps in my unreads

I'm going to, just had DnD tonight but I'm gonna get working on it. Role PMs first then intro pages for the private threads if you want that

And I left the url from a previous game in my Mafia Goon role PM, sorry

[Mizzytastic]

I'm heading to bed, I'll do any corrections, and more examples of redacted roles/pregame posts for private threads if you want tomorrow

[Isis]

I'm not sure redacted flips aren't just bad.

Like you used "share a thread" for both the mafia and neighborhood PTs, someone could claim Neighbor D1 and paraphrase their role using the word "share", then mafia could get limmed instead, then D2 there is this tiny bit of probability there's really a neighborhood. That doesn't matter all that much but just like, I don't think everyone always thinks of everything, and I'm not sure what purpose is served by full flips in normal queue..

I'm not vetoing redacted flips from this game as a reviewer or anything, just opinions.


I will actually nag about using the mafiascum wiki spelling for neighbor because i think that can add some confirmation.

I don't see anything else

[Mizzytastic]

The main reason I like full flips is making sure that people get the full details of abilities. Most people I've seen discussing mech are super flaky on how roles behave but aren't gonna ask the mod for clarification, and while it's not the mods job to fix players being less than optimal I feel like it sets a baseline everyone can work from.

I hadn't thought about it but sticking to American spelling to avoid confirmation makes a lot of sense. I'll get those produced. It amazes me just how much people can read into sometimes.

Oh, and I missed the 3-shot phrasing for the psychologist, I'll fix that too.

[Mizzytastic]

Is there anything else you need?

[implosion]

You are informed that the traitor is not a member of the Neighborhood, and is Bulletproof.

This should say "your neighborhood", so as to not preclude the existence of other neighborhoods.

I *think* traitors aren't supposed to know what the mafia's roles are. But this is actually ambiguous on the wiki. Should probably be standardized.

You appear to have accidentally copied the informed ability in the traitor's role PM instead of their bulletproof ability.

I still kind of hate that I did this but

technically

the compulsive role should be required to give that randomized list in their confirmation; see https://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Compulsive

I don't believe that a mailman's target counts as a role that can communicate for a traffic analyst based on the wiki.

(there's a lot of things here but all pretty small/nitpicky - overall these look good)

I didn't know you could have multiple neighbourhoods in a normal. I might try that some time.

I did the traitor correctly for my intent, I was copying the information about the informed cos it's not obvious from the name alone what informed means, but if the traitor isn't supposed to know the roles that can go away too. I based it on finding a normal with a traitor and in that one and it did have the traitor knowing the roles so yeah, it should probably be standardised. Fictionally the traitor not knowing makes more sense to me

[Isis]

Vorthos (flavor): traitors shouldn't know the mafia's roles because they're just citizens who decided they want the town to fall to crime and rule-by-criminal.

Melvin(mechanics)- a traitor is a role that is in ever respect like a gunless goon, with a singular change that the mafia's group of them is omitted, assymetrically. Deprivation of the traitor's knowledge is not part of the mechanical principle so the traitor should know the Mafia's roles.

Just thought that's interesting to think about. I don't feel strongly

[Isis]

Idt it's good to bake a preference for vigging into the compulsive role.

[Mizzytastic]

The preference is fruit. The vig only comes up if all living players have received fruit

[Mizzytastic]

That said you may vig but if you don't you must fruit is also fine with me but I didn't think the modifiers worked that way.

[Isis]

You can receive fruit twice in mafia
