[OLD] Open Setup Ideas and Discussion

[Alduskkel]

Given that it's my setup I think I should be the one who gets the final say in what it shall be called. >.>

Yes I do think that Garth is an excellent representation of your personality.

Well done, you get 100 Maturity Points for your fantastic self-awareness.

[Prof. Guppy]

I'd like to Moderate a Smalltown Game, please.

[Shanba]

Blank Mafia is...interesting. I'm not sure it would work; we should try it in real-time first.

Round up some people to scumchat and we'll test it there, if you like. Otherwise, that might be a little tricky. It's hard to get a scumchat game going these days.

[Mr. Flay]

I don't like DethyBlocker (or whatever it's called), but I do like it better than straight Dethy. I don't think it does as much to encourage the day game as Artem does, though.

Alternating C9

is probably not horribly broken, since it's a melting pot of the usual C9 setups. Not sure it's all that normal, but whatev.

Three Blind Cops

is probably too swingy for actually satisfying play.

:edit:

Shanba: Sure, that's what I meant. I might be in scumchat tonight for a bit...

[Shanba]

Nokill 10

6 townies
1 doctor
1 roleblocker
2 mafia

Day start, mafia must kill every night.

I like this setup, a lot. I considered something like this, but my antipathy for info roles has reached such a noxious point that I'm wary of even roleblockers, these days.

[Empking]

I think AC9 should have a name relating to the Odds/Even game its obviously based on.(I aslso think its worse that Odds/Evens)

Vengeful without the Vengeful

2 Scum

1 Twilight Vig
2 Townies
Nightless

Twilight Vig PMs the mod during twilight and can kill even if lynched that day.

[BlakAdder]

Regarding some of the other setups, there is one thing I need to know to voice my opinion:
What is a Hans?

I don't like the compulsory kill for mafia. Withholding a kill may be a valid tactic.

This allow scum to No kill please

[farside22]

How about this?
2 Mafia Goons
1 Even Night Cop
1 Odd Night Doctor
5 Vanilla Townies
Day Start

This setup needs a name.

Also, is it balanced?

Alternating C9

AC9/DC9.

This game was done I believe with 2 less vanilla and called even/odd C9. I will get the link.

[Prof. Guppy]

Nominate: Smalltown

I've got a backstory all ready to go, but I'm willing to entrust it to whomever ends up moderating.

[Korts]

Smalltown is not a specific setup, as far as I know.

[shaft.ed]

Smalltown is not a specific setup.

Fixed.
It's also not normal

[mith]

A specific Smalltown setup

could

qualify as a semi-open normal.

I don't think Guppy understands how the Open queue works, though.

Well if that's the case I'll put out a template for a Smalltown set up using only "standard" roles:

8 town, 3 mafia, 1 SK (thought 9:3 could also be nice to play with, or maybe even 8:2:2?)

1-vanilla
1-suicide vig
2-anytime masons
1-tracker
1-jailkeeper
1-double voter
1-roleblocker
1-bus driver
1-hider (dies with mafia only)
1-motivator
1-watcher

[Prof. Guppy]

I don't think Guppy understands how the Open queue works, though.

That can be remedied easily.
I know, I know, bureaucracy keeps the bad element from exacting their will when they probably shouldn't. Still, I've got characters, plot, and setting all ready and rearing to go. What should I do?

Sign up for the mini theme or large theme queue

Yeah, that.
The open queue's not really designed for the kind of game you're proposing. It's designed for ordinary setups that usual have one or two semi-unique things in them. Also, open game mods usually don't get to choose which game they mod. The best thing to do is what dahill said.

[Prof. Guppy]

Okay, I think I will do that then. Thank you very much.

[veerus]

Track me if you can:

2 trackers
1 doctor
3 townies
2 mafia (one of whom is a roleblocker)
1 serial killer

Mod notes: Day start. SK is not NK-immune and only has 2* kills. RB can't kill and block on the same night.

Suck/good? Yes, no, maybe?

*Insert standard complaint about single scum vs. investigative roles*

[Elmo]

Nominate: Texas Justice (I know)
Second/etc: Bird C9, Friends and Enemies, 2:10 Bugs Bunny

[Crazy]

Nominate: Texas Justice (I know)

If you know, then why are you nominating it? o_0

[mith]

Texas Justice shouldn't be run again as-is. It shouldn't have been run here in the first place. I though everyone understood after the original games that it was broken, but I guess it's been long enough that people had forgotten.
