This setup doesn't look too bad.
My only concern just looking at it is that town will auto think that one of the neigborizers is scum because normally there isn't two town neighborizors, but I kind of get feel that is the point?

I think you need format your opening posts better.
Unless that is just placeholder, then disregard that.

In post 4, BlackVoid wrote:There aren't two neighborizers. One is a friendly neighbor who basically selects a target and I'll mod-confirm them as town to their target. They don't get a private topic. There's only going to be one private topic in the game (other than the mafia topic of course).
Ohhh I complete went over that.
I thought he was a weak friendly neighborizer (Which now that I think about it is a masonizer), I am a idiot.

Anyways, from a balance perspective, I think this is a bit scum-sided (Not OP as shit, but still a bit)
The weak friendly neighbor can die early, the vigilante shoots town, and then you have basically possibly three dead in one night leaving you much closer to LYLO and fewer lynches available.

It would probably be better if the friendly neighbor was just a friendly neighbor in this.

If you can, please post them in here, I have seen normal mods post drastically different styles in their opening posts and I think normal queue would kind of like to semi-standard look so its easier for us to examine post games.

In post 8, BlackVoid wrote:Three dead in one night happens when the weak friendly neighbor targets scum. Which means as long as they crumb right, it's a guaranteed scum lynch the following day.

But I see what you mean. By "just a friendly neighbor" are you suggesting a 1-shot or a full role? My current weak friendly neighbor is a 1-shot role.
I mean yeah, that is if they crumb it right, and the players pick up on the crumb well. And that players assume that the player didn't die from vigilante or mafia kill.

I don't see much difference in 1 shot Friendly Neighbor and a Full Friendly Neighbor in setups tbh.
If the friendly neighbor targets scum night 1, the scum either has to confirm them the next day or gets pressured for it if Neighbor calls them out on it. I guess theres a difference if Friendly Neighbor targets someone who is going to die. Probably a 2 shot Friendly Neighbor is okay.

In post 45, BlackVoid wrote:Rules
Be nice to your fellow players. Don't break the game by artificial means. Vote using bold or vote tags. When the majority of the votes is on a person, he gets lynched. If you don't get a majority before the deadline, a no lynch occurs. Any private topics that are part of the game will be released unedited at endgame.
Probably should mention no talking about ongoing games, no breaking site rules, no breaking normal mafia rules too.

As far as Setup, I still don't like the weak neighborizer + vigilante, but since its now a two shot vigilante that kind of saves it a bit.

Its got a bit of swing to it, but I think this is probably acceptable for a normal game and reasonably balanced.

Approved with Fire

I would add a line linking to the Normal games wiki to show what constitutes a normal game.
Kind of a standard thing to have as well.
