PenguinPower's Mini Normal Review

[RadiantCowbells]

bump

[RadiantCowbells]

Setup is normal and close enough to balanced for me to pass it as is but there's a few things in the role PMs that I want to point out.

You are a Vigilante!
Once during the day you have the ability to shoot any player. You may only shoot once per day, and may privately communicate your choice to the mod.
You win when all scum factions are eliminated, and town has at least 1 player left standing.

I would rephrase that since 'Once during the day' and 'Only shoot once per day' is redundant.

You are a Town Odd Night Cop!
You may investigate one player every odd numbered night. You will be notified of their alignment at the end of the night.
You win when all scum factions are eliminated, and town has at least 1 player left standing.

Should specifically list the potential results: either 'is innocent' or 'is guilty', which is technically different from being notified of their alignment.

After the first power role has died, you will inherit their role. If the first roles to die are multiple people at night, you will inherit one of those roles randomly.
You win when all scum factions are eliminated, and town has at least 1 player left standing.

I am not quite sure if this is the correct way for universal backups to determine in multiple death nights.

I'll look at the rules and figure out the backup thing later.

[RadiantCowbells]

The potential for odd-night cop being universal backupped is kind of scary for scum though.

I'll think about it.

[RadiantCowbells]

Universal backup adds a lot of swing because of the odds of taking over 1-Shot Dayvig after they've fired vs taking Odd-Night Cop.

[RadiantCowbells]

I would highly recommend the novice dayvig because day 1 shots are really cancer

[RadiantCowbells]

To be normal it can only take from own alignment so BP wouldn't trigger.

I think it would be cool to make it Novice so that UB can actually have some purpose with picking that up

[RadiantCowbells]

I actually think on principle that a day 1 dayvig should not be allowed.

[RadiantCowbells]

I would be fucking pissed if I joined a 'normal' game and was killed before I could influence even 1 lynch.

That is outside of normal to me imo

[RadiantCowbells]

having two non-normal modifiers on the same role is allowed, correct?

[RadiantCowbells]

yes it is.

yeah I would greatly prefer to see that become novice then I guess I'm okay with the universal backup?

[RadiantCowbells]

If you've made the novice change and the other changes can you repost everything

[RadiantCowbells]

I believe that was an incorrect usage of the role but I'd have to connect with my fellow NORMAL LORDS

[RadiantCowbells]

Later today I'll deal with this.

[RadiantCowbells]

Yeah in hindsight I'd actually change the 1-shot Bulletproof to like a 1-shot Role Cop because I think it would feel better for scum

but at the same time I do think the setup is balanced as is and would be willing to pass it.

[RadiantCowbells]

Maybe role cop would be too strong. 1-Shot Neapolitan would be better. But yeah bulletproof is fine-ish

[RadiantCowbells]

Neapolitan sorta PoEs itself out though. Even night vanilla cop would be an interesting idea. but again bulletproof is still fine

[RadiantCowbells]

Pass
