ThinkBig's Mini Normal Review

[mykonian]

cop can also get "no result".
it's unusual for people to recieve the message that they are blocked on MS.
You are going to end up with a problem if the RB can shoot and block in the same night.

I'd be slightly worried about scum being strong here, but it's not horrible, I think? But it's defs on that side.

[mykonian]

ack. That dated, eh?

[mykonian]

oh, on that topic, the 1 shot vig for the JoaT is a bit awkward given town isn't exactly strong, that part of the role is a bit of a mixed blessing.

[mykonian]

yeah I hadn't gotten to balance yet, wanted the easy stuff out of the way first.

The base problem is what smith has mentioned. A lot of concentrated power in one town role, and a RB on the scum's team. Town doesn't have that much firepower, it could do with another role.

[mykonian]

I was thinking about giving town another role, not scum

[mykonian]

I know. But if I give town another role, don't I have to give scum another role?

nah, and that's the issue a bit. Scum start out with a huge head start in 3:10. You have to throw a lot at town to balance the night kill. Adding a RB then (I mean, you could cut that, if you want?) makes you do some of your hard work undone, and the RB does that quite efficiently sadly.

[mykonian]

So maybe make it a 2-shot roleblocker?

that helps but won't be enough imo.

[mykonian]

I'd be alright with that. I don't think the JoaT you used was all that strong, so that should be fine.

[mykonian]

can't be long, the normal queue is short and Nexus is occasionally worrying the reviewing doesn't go quickly enough.

[mykonian]

on that note, need some decisions on the RB and how the JoaT looks now, I don't know if that was confirmed.

[mykonian]

1st you'd make me happy, 2nd you'd make us all unhappy bc if it's unbalanced it's scumsided.

[mykonian]

no on the 2 shot cop, that's a bad idea.

Maybe on the scumteam, I personally feel it'd be good, Mrsmith doesn't, and I forgot how FB felt about that.

[mykonian]

Ok so final setup changes. I looked through previously approved setups and found one that I really like

2 mafia goons
1 mafia rolecop
Town Doctor
Town Ascetic Cop
Town Roleblocker
6 vanilla town

sure. Can do.

[mykonian]

I would also like to see the town role pm's, given we needed an update on the RB before when it was a mafia one.

[mykonian]

the RB pm is awkward now, for one it rather gives away there's a cop, and it implies that VT's will also get a message of [no result] when targetted. Just remove that sentence, and the PM is fine.

Otherwise I"m ok withit.

[mykonian]

good to be prepared for the strongman-roleblock

[mykonian]

yup, I'm fine with that.

Day chat is fine, do put it in your first post that they have a day chat.
