hi tris!


so yeah, backup mason is at least as good if not arguably better than a regular mason (given that they can't leave associative clues with the other masons before they know who they are).

i've heard it a lot and have often considered it true that three goons versus three masons plus a little bit more town power is balanced. here we have a lot more town power in the form of the neap, along with arguably a lot more power for scum from the scum neighborizer. i forget how long ago this was now, but it was shown before that scum win a large number of games where they have a neighborizer, so it's a lot more of a power role for them than it seems.

i think you'd need to buff scum or nerf town to get it closer to balanced.

I know that I just said that you'd need to either buff scum or nerf town but i think given the potential for the number of innocents nerfing town is the way to go, specifically to do with the neapolitan.

What do you think of gating the neap to even night?

tris, don't stare too long. bad things will happen - you'll start to use punctuation in increasingly wacky and humorous ways

me as well. small change i'd make to the mason role pm - say "this means you are confirmed town to each other..." instead of "this means you are both town..."

anyways, you're good to go once the role pms are updated

one more thing – you have a "your neighborhood has been created" pm, but i've always done it where a neighborizer has access to the neighborhood from the start of the game (i.e. it's created along with, say, the mafia pt) and other people are just added rather than it first being created when the first person is added. honestly, i'm not sure one way over the other is explicitly normal, so

@imploooo



really just something i want to figure out that i noticed rather than a "you need to change this" thing

In post 16, tris wrote:How would I handle Backup Neighborizer if I do it that way? Would that Neighborhood be created when they become a Neighbor?
that would be the way i would do it, it gets created when the backup inherits the role

Mind bringing it up in the standardization thread? I would but conflict of interest/potentially revealing stuff, etc etc

I think it should work the other way but obviously here's not the place to get into that
