hello
i am back again with bodyguard neighbours and neapolitans in the same game
uhhh i saw a game that had a backup mason and i told georgebailey "what if there was a game with a backup neighbor" and he thought it was a great role and here we are
pedit: figured this was gonna maybe be slightly scumsided
honestly i think checker has become the default "town needs a bit more power, slap on a town checker"
i thinkkk i like the idea of an informed MD more, but i'll think about it after nsg guves thoughts

I will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again. You can come back and be like, “I dreamt that Locke is a N2 Bulletproof Multitasking Cop and Self-Targeting Doctor,” and I will go, “Okay, Locke kill it is then.”

i think i like the idea of swapping a motion detector with a traffic analyst, however i worry about the neapolitan and the traffic analyst racking up too many clears in the VTs in the first few days.
odd-night neapolitan and even-night traffic analyst maybe?

thinking about something like this maybe...?In post 9, northsidegal wrote:you might consider it "gimmicky" but my first thought after thinking about that would be to expand the neighborhood aspect i.e. by making two scum backup neighbors and maybe by adding a third neighbor into the neighborhood. that makes scum getting in a better outcome with regards to dodging the TA, although it does make the game kind of swingy. i think it's interesting though, and i'm kind of just spitballing here.
1x town traffic analyst
1x town bodyguard neighbour
1x town macho neighbour
1x town even-night neapolitan neighbour
6x vt
vs
2x mafia backup neighbour
1x mafia informed (there is a town traffic analyst)

my experience with town/town neighbourhoods in normals is that they generally quickly trust each other and are willing to protect each other, though my sample size isn't the biggest.In post 15, northsidegal wrote:and now that i think about it unlimited neap in the neighborhood with the bodyguard isn't evenallthat scumsided, maybe it'c closer to even than i get it credit for. in the past sometimes i've overlooked the potential power of neighborhoods with power roles in them, so if the neighbors in this game could trust each other enough and work out some kind of gambit or something like that then they might be able to make it work.
anyway, my thinking with gating the neapolitan was that he has less false positives than the traffic analyst, since he will know not to check his neighbours. though looking at it now, it does feel a bit weak for town, since the backup neighbours are never a hard guilty to him... even-night neap into full neap is a passable setup?

[note: sample size is 2, one of those games is over a year old, *and* i was scum in both of those games so perhaps i'm a bit biased in how much they actually trusted each other and how quickly oh god i don't want to be responsible for whatever horror this brings to mafiasc--]

err, i thought that part was covered in "target someone to protect them", but i'll edit that in to make it clear.
i took the macho description from the Normal section of the role: "This role modifier is considered Normal on mafiascum.net. It negates the effects of a Doctor or Bodyguard protecting it, although both would still be seen as having visited a Macho role." though i'll obviously follow your ruling on it.
