ThinkBig's Mini Normal

ThinkBig · Post Post #7 (isolation #0) » Mon May 15, 2017 11:02 pm

Ok that sounds good. So just an odd night cop and add a 1-shot BP for scum.

ThinkBig · Post Post #8 (isolation #1) » Mon May 15, 2017 11:03 pm

Should I make the gunsmith an even night gunsmith?

ThinkBig · Post Post #9 (isolation #2) » Tue May 16, 2017 4:06 am

1 Mafia Goons
1 Mafia 1-shot BP
1 Mafia Encryptor
1 2-shot Town vigilante
1 town odd night cop
1 town even night gunsmith
7 vanilla townies

How's this? Also what would happen if I scrap the encryptor and just enable day chat?

ThinkBig · Post Post #11 (isolation #3) » Tue May 16, 2017 5:11 am

Ok. I will do that.

ThinkBig · Post Post #12 (isolation #4) » Tue May 16, 2017 5:15 am

Also should I throw in something extra to either side?

ThinkBig · Post Post #14 (isolation #5) » Tue May 16, 2017 5:19 am

Ok. I'll leave it as

3 Mafia Goons
7 vanilla town
1 odd night cop
1 even night gunsmith
1 2-shot vigilante.

What do you think of making it a full vig or possibly a day vig/desperado? I kinda want to experiment some with the newly approved modifiers and roles

ThinkBig · Post Post #15 (isolation #6) » Tue May 16, 2017 5:23 am

What if I made the cop loyal and threw in an ascetic

ThinkBig · Post Post #16 (isolation #7) » Tue May 16, 2017 5:41 am

The cop wouldn't be able to get guiltiest and could get a pseudo guilty on the ascetic

ThinkBig · Post Post #17 (isolation #8) » Tue May 16, 2017 6:29 am

I'm changing my opening post because it is more likely than not that I will get a mini normal number in the 20s. Here is my new opening post.

Code: Select all
After World War I, all seemed calm and peaceful. There was peace in Europe and a period of economic prosperity. This prosperity and peace will soon by challenged by the Great Depression and the rise of Adolf Hitler (yimakh shemo ve zikhro). When alcohol was prohibited in the 1920s, the sale and consumption of moved underground. This gave rise to the mafia. It is your task to find the mafia and bring them to justice.

So back to the setup.

Possibility 1

3 Mafia Goons
7 vanilla town
1 odd night cop
1 even night gunsmith
1 2-shot vigilante.

Possibility 2

3 Mafia Goons
7 vanilla town
1 odd night loyal cop
1 even night gunsmith
1 ascetic townie
1 2-shot vigilante.

(in this setup, should I change it to a full cop instead of just an odd night cop?)

Possibility 3

2 Mafia Goons
1 Mafia 1-shot bulletproof
1 Town vigilante
1 Town odd night cop
1 town gunsmith
7 vanilla townies

ThinkBig · Post Post #20 (isolation #11) » Tue May 16, 2017 7:06 am

Also here is my updated ruleset (note: this assumes that there is no encryptor and daychat is enabled)

Spoiler:

Rules

Shamelessly stolen and modified from other mods
.

important bit

Please adhere to the site rules.

14-day day phase, 48 hour night phase

Majority lynches

48 hours before prod, 24 hours before replacement, 24 hour weekends

NO Bah posts allowed

Rule 0: Don't be a dick
. - If you are being a dick, you run the risk of force-replacement or modkill. You may or may not be warned. I don’t tolerate ad hom wars. If your posting is merely insulting a player without providing game content, you can expect a strike from me. Three strikes, you’re out. I’m fairly lenient about this, but posting “Fuck you” over and over again is simply not acceptable. Severe issues will be reported to the list mod(s) via my top secret chat room I definitely have with them all.

General
:
- Do not discuss this game of mafia outside of this thread unless your role PM allows you to do so.
- Do not quote PM's from the mod at all (real or fabricated). Paraphrasing is acceptable. You are also not allowed to quote any communication that you send to me.
- If you have any questions about your role, or the game, feel free to PM the mod.
-
Claiming scum by yourself is fine. Claiming scum with someone else is an instant modkill. Don't do it
.
- If you break any of these rules, you will probably be modkilled.

Voting/Player Actions:

- All votes must be in bold format:
vote: ThinkBig
or use the vote tag VOTE: ThinkBig, for example.
- Unvotes are nice but they are not required.
- Any and all votes will be counted, if you wish to waste a day phase voting for someone not in the game, that's fine by me.
- You may vote No Lynch.
- Voting tricks are not acceptable. If you misspell someone's name intentionally, but I get the gist of it, the vote will count.
- A lynch will occur once a majority decision is reached. If no majority is reached by deadline, then no lynch shall occur.
- Following a lynch, it is twilight. You may continue to post until I lock the thread and declare it night.
- If you have a Night Action, you may submit it from Night 1 and each subsequent Night. No other time.

Activity:

- You are expected to post at least once every 48 hours. If you haven't posted for 48 hours, I shall prod you. If you do not respond to the prod within 48 hours (either in thread if it's Day, or via PM during the Night) then I will replace you.
-I do not tolerate naked prod dodges. Naked prod dodges will not count towards your activity requirement. Multiple pdodges may get you force replaced.
- Similarly, if you require more than three prods, I will force-replace you.

Special Quicklynch RuleWhen the day phase goes so quickly that there is a quicklynch, I have instilled a special requirement--as not all players were able to post over the duration of the day phase, I require every player to check in. I will be sending a PM which is an unlisted (that is, unmarked for official purposes) prod. Failure to directly reply to this prod will warrant replacement, and suspension of deadline. Players will have 48 hours to respond to the prod, as of the time I send it.

Mechanics:

- This setup is explicitly
10 town
vs
3 mafia
.
- Daychat is enabled by default
- Scum can both kill and use any other role at the same time.

- Blue is my mod color. Please do not use it!

- Confirm by how your Role PM tells you to once you are ready to play. Once everyone confirms, the game begins.
- Do not edit your posts if you have the ability to. This is an instant modkill.
- No impossible/hard to read text, or cryptography.
- The Mod may make mistakes - please point out any mistakes gently. Mistakes will be corrected where possible, but sometimes mistakes are made that cannot be reversed. These will stand as final to be commiserated over after the game.
- If you need to get the mod's attention, either PM me, or bold the text you wish to draw to my attention.
- I reserve the right to alter/remove/add any rules as I see fit. You will, of course, be notified if that happens, however.

Sample vanilla townie PM

Role PM: Vanilla TownieWelcome to
Mini Normal XXXX
You are a
Vanilla Townie
.

Win Condition:

You are aligned with the town. You win if at least one player in your faction remains in the game, and all players wanting your alignment gone are eliminated, or if nothing can prevent this.

Abilities:

You only have what is given to all players: Your arguments and your vote.

Confirmation:

To confirm your understanding and position in this game, PM me your alignment and role. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to PM me.
