smh i guess when implo says sent he means "hey nsg why don't you sent yourself over to the private threads subforum to find it yourself"

(only joking, nothing against you implo, you're my favorite normal listmod)


anyways i don't think this needs much discussing? i'm pretty sure that 2 masons 5 vts vs 2 goons is balanced, roleblocker is wifom for both scum and town but ultimately doesn't do anything for scum. i think i'd be fine just passing it, unless there was something you wanted to discuss / weigh in on.

what's the status on daytalk?

[implosion]

wtf how did i not send a pm for this

[northsidegal]

[northsidegal]

i usually like to specify "discuss the game at any time here" when there's daychat but it's not really a problem.

/pass

[northsidegal]

i am no longer as sure that 2 masons vs goon / roleblocker is balanced but i don't think it's so scumsided as to be unrunnable

[RadiantCowbells]

it leans scumsided for sure

but the current site meta is townsided so this is the perfect time to bring it out

[Gamma Emerald]

Backup mod checking in
I like this, isn't it a setup in the updated 2d3?

[northsidegal]

it is! it's open (or at least semi-open) there though, reducing scum room for fakeclaims

if you're the backup mod, who's the primary mod?

[Gamma Emerald]

Jackal

[Jackal711]

Primary mod checking in. Been busy with RL all day so I just got the pm. Looks like a fairly simple yet balanced setup.

One thing I do want to clarify cause its hinted at in the chatter here but not explicitly stated: Both PTs (scum and masons) are intended to have daytalk, correct?

[northsidegal]

4 BOTH factions, that's correct

[Jackal711]

Ah I see it, it IS explicitly stated in post 5. I suggest we edit the applicable role PMs (I can do so when they get sent) to specify "you may talk here at any time."

[northsidegal]

sure, that's what i like to do anyways (although i do think that it's not

that

big of a deal given that people will learn that that's true either by looking at the rules or just by seeing that the thread isn't locked once the day rolls around)

speaking of rules, could you post yours once you've got them?

[Jackal711]

I'll probably stick with the set I used in the last game I modded, which was Mini Normal 2024 and can be found here: https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=76996

Here's a direct copy/paste: (Note I will edit the final section to be a correct copy of this game's VT role pm, which is slightly different than the one from that game)

Rules

Borrowed and modified from Plotinus. Inspired by Equinox's, Glork's and Ether's rulesets.

important bit

• Day phase will be 14 days
  
• 48 hour night phase
  
• Majority lynches
  
• 48 hours before prod, 24 hours before replacement
  
• Don’t be a dick

1. Follow all site rules.
   
   
2. Mod colour
   – My mod colour is
   blue
   ; don't use it.
   
3. Behaviour
   - Don’t be a dick. This is a heated game but toxicity will not be tolerated. Attack the play not the player. If your fellow players tell you to stop, you must stop. If you do not stop, I will tell you to stop. If you still do not stop, you will be force-replaced. Asking people to stop voting you or to stop scumhunting you entirely doesn't count for this rule and you may find yourself lynched if you try it.
   
4. Don't talk about ongoing games
   - You may not talk to each other about this game outside of threads I have created for this purpose. You may not talk about other ongoing games in this thread.
   
5. Provable randomness
   - is against the rules. Saying that you rolled a dice is fine, using dice tags or random.org is not.
   
6. Claiming scum
   - by yourself is fine. Claiming scum with another player is against the rules.
   
7. Cryptography
   - is forbidden. Breadcrumbing is okay.
   
8. Confirmation
   - You have about
   48
   hours to confirm your role and your alignment by PM. Game will start sooner if everyone confirms. Posting in a private topic counts as confirmation.
   
9. Days
   - Days will last 14 days. Extensions may be granted if there are replacements.
   
10. Activity
    - You must post at least once every
    48 hours
    or I will Prod you. You then have 24 hours to post in the game thread or I will replace you. Players can request me to prod somebody early. This will only count as an official prod if you don't post before you would have been due for a prod.
    
11. Vacation/Limited Access
    If you need to be absent for longer than this, you should declare
    V/LA
    in bold in the thread like this: [
    b]

    @Mod: I will be v/la until Thursday

    [
    /b]. While you are V/LA, you will be nudged once every 72 hours. Two nudges equals one prod. If you have not posted game advancing content in 7 days, regardless of V/LA status, you will be replaced.
    
12. Prodging
    - A naked "prod dodge" does not reset the prod timer. To avoid being prodded/replaced for inactivity, include some game advancing content in your prodges, such as "got prodded; xxxx is still scum."
    
13. Quoting
    - You may not quote (or copy paste) any private information into the thread, including your role PM and any mod communication.
    
14. Voting
    - Votes must be in bold in the format VOTE: Jackal711 or
    Vote: Jackal711
    . Strong preference for using vote tags instead of bold tags. Unvotes are nice but not required. If I think it’s a vote, it’s a vote, no tricks. Type [
    v]Jackal711[
    /v] to vote and [
    uv]Jackal711[
    /uv] to unvote.
    
15. Lynching
    - Days end early when a simple majority of players (50% of living players + 1 rounded down) vote to lynch somebody. If a majority is not reached at deadline or if a majority of the players vote for no lynch, the day will end without a lynch. At evens, 50% is sufficient for no lynch.
    
16. Twilight
    - Begins when a majority is reached and lasts until I lock the thread. You're still alive until I flip you so you can talk in any game threads you have access to until then, but no votes or unvotes will be counted.
    
17. Night
    - Night lasts 48 hours. The night phase can be shortened if every living player -- even those with no night actions -- agrees to it and if I'm not busy.
    
18. Action submissions
    - You may submit actions via PM (if town) or PT (if scum). If the actions are not submitted by the deadline then you do nothing. You can change your mind as many times as you like before the deadline.
    
19. Reminders
    - If I don't hear from you about your night actions, I'll PM you 24 hours before the deadline. This doesn't count as a prod. If I still don't hear from you, you will take no action.
    
20. Play to win
    - this particular game, not some future one, and keep it fun!

Notes Specific to this game:
Daytalk is enabled. This means all game PTs are open at all times.
This is a closed setup. The only information you know about the setup is what was in your Role PM.
At least 1 person will receive the following Vanilla Townie Role PM:

Welcome! You are a

Vanilla Townie.

Abilities:

• You have no abilities other than your voice and your vote.

Win Conditions:

• You win if all threats to the town are eliminated and at least one town-aligned player is alive.
