I don't think BRO's too far off the mark, but a severity scale could do wonders. The farther something strays from said scale the more it counts towards a non-standard game (ex. Eon's million idols would be a pretty severe break from rule 1). Let's say that there's "no change" "slight change" "moderate" and "severe". These each increase the bastard-ness (word choice) by a number that makes sense and would likely need fine tuning, but having two metrics that work hand in hand to determine a scale of the sheer hilarity of this all is probably all we need if we go that route.

We already have a LSG mod watching every game - it would make sense for that mod to do the scaling as well.

I've taken a look at Solitary, and it seems interesting. I would consider.

I feel like I'm alone here, but if we're all hellbent on games being notified as "twist heavy" or what have you, it takes some of the fun out of it. Part of Survivor is reacting to events thrown at you by Jeff/Mods/Players/etc. I'd basically say the line sit at Arkham in terms of "games I've played that are sufficiently out there enough to warrant twists". Lots of the rest of this feels like pandering to make things easier.
