Fredrick A Campbell's Mini Normal Review, June 2020

[Fredrick A Campbell]

This is my first time doing a setup design. Please give me the appropriate feedback.

[Fredrick A Campbell]

without even commenting on balance, i notice that this is a somewhat complicated setup – definitely in the upper percentages of complexity when it comes to normal games. if you don't mind, i'd be interested in hearing a bit of your thought process when it comes to designing it.

for instance, i'm a bit confused as to the purpose of the simple gunsmith – isn't that essentially just a slightly weaker vanilla cop?

It is.

[Fredrick A Campbell]

The difference is they may receive no result because of the roleblocker instead of the player not being a vanilla townie.

[Fredrick A Campbell]

The loud bodyguard, if he targets a mafia, will unintentionally inform the mafia that some other player has targeted them. The mafia may want to kill them in response.

The compulsive roleblocker messes with the simple gunsmith's results. The gunsmith may get no result as if they had targeted a power role when it was actually because the roleblocker targetted them. Also, the roleblocker may stop some town roles from being used.

The combined universal backup mailman may decide to use a role they acquired (more likely to be a town role than a scum role). If they choose to use this new found power, they need to send the player they are targetting a message. I don't think the message part is really essential but just a nice addition that actually functionally does nothing.

The town psychologist gets to know if the player targeted has the ability to kill the player but has not yet killed. In some situations, they may get a negative on scum and a no result on the mafia commuter.

The mafia commuter would give the psychologist no result. I would allow the mafia commuter to perform the factional kill but it seems like the wiki page doesn't give any guidelines on the matter.

The mafia indecisive motion detector would get to know if a power role performed their action. However, if they target a vanilla townie that has been targeted, they may think the player is a power role.

The mafia simple gunsmith would get no result or a negative (the gunsmith wouldn't get a positive since he could only successfully target vanilla townies). Sometimes, he would get a no result even if he targets a vanilla townie because of the roleblocker.

[Fredrick A Campbell]

My apologies. I misunderstood what you meant. I actually put in random roles and modifiers. Was that actually an OK thing to do?

[Fredrick A Campbell]

I actually put in random roles and modifiers. Was that actually an OK thing to do?

Technically, nothing against it, but given what setup was created, I'd note that there is a high likelihood that a first-time mod running the setup you're proposing would make moderator errors; it is a setup with enough complexity that even an experienced moderator who is a member of the nrg might make a mistake. That, plus depending on how random the roles/modifiers were which you selected, there's also the potential lack of familiarity with how the roles function.

Don't take this as a comment discouraging you from running a setup like this, though. If you want to design a mostly-random setup, mostly random in every way, we can balance around that and since that'd be your design intent, what you were aiming for, it'd be something we could help tweak to make balanced (albeit presumably swingy), it's just that it's something which I'd recommend you do with a very, very close eye backing you up to help ensure you wouldn't make a mistake.

Ok. So, I would need a backup moderator, right?

[Fredrick A Campbell]

Do we start balancing the setup now or are we supposed to do something else first?

[Fredrick A Campbell]

Considering this is my first game design. I'm on board with the proposed setup.

[Fredrick A Campbell]

What else do we have to do?

[Fredrick A Campbell]

It's late on this side of the globe. I'll get back to you tomorrow.

I'm actually not to sure how to phrase some of the roles' actions. Specifically neapolitan, psychologist, motion detector, commuter, and potentially the mafia's night kill.

[Fredrick A Campbell]

i don't like how you have follower worded. a plausible reading of it could interpret it as implying a yes or no response – that is, the way you have it worded ("You will discover if that player did x y or z"), a plausible response could be "Yes, player did x y or z" when that's not how the role works.

i really think you should word it pretty much exactly "You will discover what type of action the player performed that night, if any, from the following categories: {Commute, Blocking, Jailkeep, Protection, Miscellaneous, Kill, Role Investigation, Action Investigation}".7

Now that you mention it, it could indeed be interpreted that way. Let's correct that.

There are a few things:

I'll need to see the rules that you're planning on using.
I'll need to see your role PMs for these roles (I can help you with this if you want)
I need to see all the potential night result PMs that might be sent out

As for the ruleset I'm planning to use, I will get back to you tomorrow. I have had permission to copy it at 0300 GMT and had been working on it when I had been on site.

As for example PT results, I will make a post on it whether or not you say you need it tomorrow, if I have the time.

Spoiler: Results PM

	Positive	Negative	Action Failed

Rules

Completely plagarised from GeorgeBailey except for some modifications

IMPORTANT BIT

1. 14 real life days (168 hours) per in game day, 48 real life hours per in game night
   
2. Majority lynches
   
3. 48 hours before prod, 24 hours before replacement
   
4. Bah posts allowed (limit: 1, free of game related content)
   
5. Attack the play, not the player

1. Mod colour
   – My mod colour is
   FF6600
   . You may use it. I will not edit any player's posts.
   
2. Behaviour
   - This is a heated game but toxicity will not be tolerated. Attack the play not the player. If your fellow players tell you to stop, you must stop. If you do not stop, I will hand you over to the authorities (list mods). Asking people to stop voting you or to stop scumhunting you entirely doesn't count for this rule and you may find yourself lynched if you try it.
   
3. Don't talk about ongoing games
   - You may not talk to each other about this game outside of threads I have created for this purpose. You may not talk about other ongoing games in this thread.
   
4. Tiny text
   - may be difficult for players with myopia and hyperopia to read. Please keep its size above 80.
   
5. Provable randomness
   - is against the rules. Saying that you rolled a die or some dice or used random.org is fine, using dice tags or quoting from random.org is not.
   
6. Cryptography
   - is forbidden in any form. Breadcrumbing is okay.
   
7. Confirmation
   - You have about 48 hours to confirm your role and your alignment by PM. Game will start sooner if everyone confirms. Posting in a private topic counts as confirmation.
   
8. Activity
   - You must post at least once every 48 hours in the game thread during the day phase or I will prod you. You then have 24 hours to post in the game thread or I will replace you. Players can request me to prod somebody early. This will only count as an official prod if you don't post before you would have been due for a prod. If you haven't posted in the 24 hours before the thread is locked for the night, you must reply to the night start PM or you will be replaced during the night. If you accumulate 4 prods, you will be force replaced.
   
9. Replacements
   - If you have failed to confirm your role or have not posted within 24 hours after you have been given a prod, I will seek a replacement. If I have not announced the replacement in thread, you may stay. If I have announced the replacement in thread, you may not stay.
   
10. Days
    - The first day begins when the game starts. The other days begin after the night is over. Days last 14 days (168 hours).
    
11. Nights
    - Nights last at least 48 hours. If every player replies to the night start PM with "fast night" or any of its variants, I will end the night phase prematurely. If a player does not send me such a PM, I will not do so.

   - You may not talk to each other about this
   
   game outside of threads I have created for this purpose. You may not talk about other ongoing games in
   
   this thread.
   
4. Tiny text
   - may be difficult for players with myopia and hyperopia to read.
   
   Please keep its size above 80.
   
5. Provable randomness
   - is against the rules. Saying that you rolled a die or some
   
   dice or used random.org is fine, using dice tags or quoting from random.org is not.
   
6. Cryptography
   - is forbidden in any form. Breadcrumbing is okay.
   
7. Confirmation
   - You have about 48 hours to confirm your role and your
   
   alignment by PM. Game will start sooner if everyone confirms. Posting in a private topic counts as
   
   confirmation.
   
8. Activity
   - You must post at least once every 48 hours in the game thread
   
   during the day phase or I will prod you. You then have 24 hours to post in the game thread or I will
   
   replace you. Players can request me to prod somebody early. This will only count as an official prod if you
   
   don't post before you would have been due for a prod. If you haven't posted in the 24 hours before the
   
   thread is locked for the night, you must reply to the night start PM or you will be replaced during the
   
   night. If you accumulate 4 prods, you will be force replaced.
   
9. Replacements
   - If you have failed to confirm your role or have not posted
   
   within 24 hours after you have been given a prod, I will seek a replacement. If I have not announced the
   
   replacement in thread, you may stay. If I have announced the replacement in thread, you may not stay.
   
10. Days
    - The first day begins when the game starts. The other days begin after the
    
    night is over. Days last 14 days (168 hours).
    
11. Nights
    - Nights last at least 48 hours. If every player replies to the night start
    
    PM with "fast night" or any of its variants, I will end the night phase prematurely. If a player does not
    
    send me such a PM, I will not do so.
    
12. Vacation/Limited Access
    If you need to be absent for more than 48 hours, you
    
    should declare V/LA in bold in the thread like this: @Mod: I will be v/la until Thursday. While you are
    
    V/LA, you be prodded once every 72 hours.
    
13. Quoting
    - You may not quote (or copy paste) any private information into the
    
    thread, including your role PM and any mod communication. Paraphrasing the contents of these is fine.
    
14. Voting
    - Votes must be in bold in the format VOTE: Fredrick A Campbell or
    
    Vote: Fredrick A Campbell. Strong preference for using vote tags instead of bold tags. Unvotes are nice
    
    but not required. If I think it’s a vote, it’s a vote, no tricks.

    Code: Select all

    To use voting tags, type[vote]Fredrick A 
    
    Campbell[/vote] to vote and [unvote]Fredrick A Campbell[/unvote] to unvote.

    
    
15. Executions
    - Days end early when a simple majority of players (50% of living
    
    players + 1 rounded down) vote to execute somebody. If a majority is not reached at deadline or if a
    
    majority of the players vote for no execution, the day will end without an execution. At evens, 50% is
    
    sufficient for no execution.
    
16. Twilight
    - Begins when a majority is reached and lasts until I lock the thread.
    
    You're still alive until I flip you so you can talk in any game threads you have access to until then, but no
    
    votes or unvotes will be counted.
    
17. Action submissions
    - You may submit actions via PM. As scum, you have the
    
    option of sending me a PM or using the PT. If the actions are not submitted by the deadline then you do
    
    nothing. You can change your mind as many times as you like before the night phase is over.
    
18. Reminders
    - If I don't hear from you about your night actions, I'll PM you 24
    
    hours before the deadline. This doesn't count as a prod. If I still don't hear from you, you will take no
    
    action.
    
19. Notes Private Threads
    - Let me know if you want a private thread to store
    
    your thoughts and feedback for the other players. This thread will be made public immediately after the
    
    game. You may draft posts in your notes PT but you may not talk about your notes PT in public. You
    
    definitely may not use the notes PT to demonstrate that you've had a town mindset in private all along;
    
    just put your town mindset in public to begin with and keep your notes to yourself.
