Slaxx's Mini Normal Review, January 2019

[Slaxx]

Ohaiiiii

So I tried to make it not super swingy.

Basic setup I want to retain is

Mason/Mason/Traitor/Mafia/Mafia

With some sort of PT cop or Traffic Analyst type tjing

I like the idea of two masons that show up guilty on an investigative report and one mafioso that doesn’t.

[Slaxx]

The simpler the better. Like if it’s townsided make the rolecop permanent or need the JOAT to a 1/2 shot traffic analyst

If it’s a scumsided replace the JOAT’s TA with PT cop and BG with doc

Etc

[Slaxx]

Also if it’s scumsided thought about making the mafia rolecop so he’s basically a goon but trying to avoid killing the traitor

[Slaxx]

A loyal rolecop*

[Slaxx]

Sweet! I think we should change BG to doc and analyst to PT as bulletproof said. My setups tend to be scumsided because my meta tends to be townsided if that makes any sense. When I have desktop I will add the traitor piece in.

[Slaxx]

Spoiler: Rules

Rules:

(Mostly copied from Chibi with Slaxxy edits)

General:

-All site-wide rules apply.
-I want to remind you and emphasize the site's stance against racial/homophobic/gender-related/ablest slurs.
-Heated discussion is a favorite tactic of mine, but consistent harassment or non-game related insults won't be tolerated.
-If you pretend to break rules, you actually break rules. Don't pretend to break rules.
-Do not quote any game-related message I send you. No Role PMs, messages about night actions, etc. When in doubt, just ask please.
-If you need to get my attention, please include "

@mod

" in your post or PM me.
-

This

(#4040BF) is my color. It is calming and it is beautiful and you do not get to use it.
-Do not use encryption, hidden text or excessively small text in your posts.
-Each Day phase will last for (1/2n+7) days where n= number of players, rounded up. 13 players yields 14 days. Every additional two FATALITIES cuts that by a day. A 3 player group would have a 9 day deadline.
-Night phases are 48 hours. You may post after a lynch, but not after the thread is locked and the flavor has been written.
-On any given Night, if all living players PM me to request a ‘Fast Night’, the next Day phase will begin as soon as I can resolve actions and unlock the thread.
-

NO BAH POSTS.

I will modkill you for this. I hate it. Death is final. Do not post after death.
-If you have the ability to edit your posts, don't.
-My decisions are final. If I feel you are violating any of the rules, I will take the appropriate action.
-I reserve the right to alter/remove/add any rules as I see fit. You will, of course, be notified if that happens.
-Please point out any mistakes and they will be corrected where possible. For serious mistakes that may affect the outcome of the game, please PM me.

Voting:

-All votes and unvotes must be in

bold

or in VOTE: vote tags, with vote tags being preferable.
-Votes in spoilers or quotes will not be counted.
-For ease of counting, please place all votes at the start of a line. On a separate line by itself would be even better.
-Abbreviations and nicknames are acceptable, as long as I can understand them.
-Unvotes are helpful, but not necessary.
-Please refrain from engaging in any kind of voting trickery. If it looks like a vote, I'm counting it as a vote.
-Lynches will occur when a majority (>50%) is reached. If no majority is reached before deadline, the day will end in a no lynch. The number of votes needed to hammer will be included with every vote count.
-Voting to end the day in a no-lynch requires only 50% of players, not >50%.
-Once a hammer has occurred, the game is in "Twilight". Discussion may continue until I lock the thread but no further votes or unvotes will be counted.

Activity:

-Prod dodging will result in you being replaced at my discretion.
-Due to the relatively short deadlines, you may be V/LA only once per Day/Night rotation.
-If you are going to be V/LA, please announce it in thread or PM me. If your V/LA will last 4 days or longer you will be replaced at my discretion. Please announce your V/LA at least 24 hours in advance.
-You may ask for exceptions to be made for activity requirements

within reason

. Eg. Adding an extra 12 hours to your prod timer. Requests are approved at my discretion, and will not count as V/LA.

Mechanics:

-Night actions this game will follow Natural Action Resolution.
-If you do not send me an action for the Night, I will assume that you are not making one. If you have a Night action, but do not want to perform it during a particular Night phase, you may instead submit a "No Action" PM.
-Mafia will be able to communicate with each other during day phases.

JOAT:

I assume rolecop just gets JOAT role and not powers for normal?

[Slaxx]

No Role PMs but I will flip JOAT powers.

I’ll fix rolecop stuff when I’m not like six drinks deep, I probably shouldn’t be posting in games but lol

So action items:
1. Fix Doc to protect from 1 kill
2. Remove alignment from rolecop and give JOAT specs (Vanilla/Traitor/Mason/JOAT 1-Com 1-Doc 1-PT Cop)
3. Add “No Result” option for PT Cop
