Gypyx's Mini Normal Review, August 2020

[Gypyx]

So, here were my thoughts behind the setup

I wanted a setup with

Spreaded town power (to help with consistency / avoid forcing players to just try to stay alive so that they can use thier power)

Farily high kill potential (first time modding, so i'd like to keep that game fairly short, and i like to reward town for having good reads)

Original / underused roles (might be obvious by looking at the setup)

But other than that the setup is fairly random, i tried to keep a small synergy between the roles while still leaving doubt if massclaim happens

And also, this setup isn't the one i originally designed, but while submitting it, i realized that a role was non-normal so i made a quick fix, maybe it is scumsided but i'm not sure

[Gypyx]

Exactly, a suicide bomber basically

[Gypyx]

I see, i'm trying to find ways to rebalance this but i'll wait for schadd's opinion

[Gypyx]

Hmmmm, how about this?

Town Vengeful
Town Novice 3-shot Vigilante
Town Ascetic Indecisive Neighbour Doctor
Town Role Watcher Neighbour
Town Combined Mailman Vanilla Cop
Town 1-shot bulletproof
VT *4
Mafia Odd-night Complex PT cop
Mafia Informed (knows that there is an ascetic player in the game)
Mafia Goon

Changes made :

Vigilante Hider -> Novice 3-shot Vigilante
Mailman -> Combined Mailman / Vanilla cop
And add a 1-shot bulletproof

[Gypyx]

Or, would a universal backup be a good alternative to some of these changes?

[Gypyx]

So

Town Vengeful 1-shot bulletproof
Town Novice 3-shot Vigilante
Town Ascetic Indecisive Neighbour Doctor
Town Role Watcher Neighbour
Town Combined Mailman Vanilla Cop
VT *5
Mafia Odd-night Complex PT cop
Mafia Informed (knows that there is an ascetic player in the game)
Mafia Goon

Writing the role PM's

[Gypyx]

Just realized i mixed up two roles, i meant to use a traffic analysist instead of a PT cop, i'm changing to that as it doesn't cause much of a difference, i hope you don't mind

Uhhh, sorry for the size problems, my mistake

Also, i guess i should get a backup mod, where is a good place to ask i someone would want to be a backup mod?

[Gypyx]

Nevermind, found the backup mod subforum

[Gypyx]

So... review is done or is there still stuff left to do? (sorry if i sound impatient, i might be overhyped to mod this ^^')

[Gypyx]

Alright, thanks for reviewing

[Gypyx]

Thanks, by the way i'm still looking for a backup moderator (more as a safety measure) and i haven't received anyone interested so would someone here mind giving a hand?
