This is a discussion topic for Normal Idea Mafia, so that we can organize and clean up the thread in preparation for it being run.

Post 47 is ambiguous, unsure if the Miller part of that role is Night-Specific or not.

If the Miller part was night specific then it'd be

Town One-shot Loyal Fruit Vendor Night Nine Vigilante Night Nine Miller

wouldn't it?

yeah, but the lack of ability text would make the role be either interpreted as a

Town One-shot Loyal Fruit Vendor Night Nine Vigilante Night Nine Miller

or a

Town Miller One-shot Loyal Fruit Vendor Night Nine Vigilante

[usesPython]

I'd interpret it as

Town Miller One-shot Loyal Fruit Vendor Night Nine Vigilante

Miller is listed as a role on the Normal Game page and modifiers always precede the role they're referring to, since there's no modifier preceding Miller in

Town One-shot Loyal Fruit Vendor Night Nine Vigilante Miller

then the Miller role is unmodified

[Morning Tweet]

yup that's how I intended it: Town Miller One-shot Loyal Fruit Vendor Night-Nine Vigilante

shoulda put Miller at the start rather than the end

Miller + One-shot loyal fruit vendor + Night-nine vigilante

[Morning Tweet]

also Umlaut broke down the wording of post 5 excellently

[Alianna]

I will get this into signups as soon as we feel that any potential issues have been sorted out.

17, 36, and 39 are problematic, as outlined in this post, so changes will need to be made to those.

Earl is going to be outraged

[camelCasedSnivy]

me when the werewolf mega-enabler is technically a normal role but not earl

Is anyone going to be upset with me if I actually edit posts to errata the problematic roles?

Personally, I wouldn't be.
I don't know if this addresses the concern, but if you wanted, you could leave a note saying what the post originally was.

Town Earl -> Town Night 50 Visitor
Werewolf JOAT (with shots of a Finder for every unmodified Normal role) -> Werewolf JOAT (with shots of a Finder for every role in this thread (i will go through and actually make this list))
Town Combined Multitasking Night-one Role Cop Night-two Vanilla Cop One-shot Complex Vigilante Indecisive Night-two Night-three Doctor -> Town Multitasking N1 Role Cop N2 Combined Complex Checker Vigilante N2 N3 Doctor

Welcome! You are a

Town Multitasking N1 Role Cop N2 Combined Complex Checker Vigilante N2 N3 Indecisive Doctor.

You may use multiple different abilities in the same night, if you have several.
On Night One and Night One only, you may send me the name of a player prefixed by

RoleCop:

. Assuming no interference with your action, you will learn your target's role (but not alignment).
On Night Two and Night Two only, you may send me the name of a player prefixed by

Checker Vig:

. Assuming no interference with your action, you will learn if you successfully targeted your target, and attempt to kill them. Your ability only will succeed if it is not interfered with and if it targets someone who has a power role (non-Vanilla).
On Night Two and Night Three, you may also send me the name of a player prefixed by

Doctor:

or HEAL: . Assuming no interference with your action, you will protect your target from one? kill(s) attempted on them that night. You may not target the same person twice in a row with this action.

I would have preferred

Town Night 50 Friendly Neighbor

for

Town Earl

if you wanted the "Normal for Town only" variant of Named Townie.

then again, night 50 visitor is good at approximating the standard version of Named Townie (a role with no effect).

The game is now in queue, but likely won't go into signups for a bit. I'm accepting pre-ins though.

[Alianna]

The game is now in signups in the Open Queue!

I think I like this form of NIM better than the OG edition, which was just a completely random setup with normal roles and modifiers

[DragonEater70]

Any chance for more role slots opening in the future?

[camelCasedSnivy]

if you do then rerun setup with one confirmed VT since thats required in every normal game

[Alianna]

This is a good idea. Maybe even multiple confirmed VTs, given how townsided it was last game.

[Cook]

i'm for this

I feel like last game was pretty winnable for non-Town (though definitely an uphill battle), with a little better rng and a worse town it would have been a lot closer than it ended up being

[DragonEater70]

I agree with python

But I mainly want somewhere to post my

Town Combined Simple Doctor Complex Vigilante
