-If you need to get my attention, please include "@mod" in your post or PM me.
-(#0080FF) is my mod color. You can use it, if you want.This
-(#80FF00) is my mod color in PTs. You can use it, if you want.This
-Do not use encryption, hidden text or excessively small text in your posts.
-Do not use any form of provable randomness. This includes dice tags, screenshots of random.org, etc. Saying you flipped a coin is okay, providing some sort of proof that you did isn’t.

-Once a hammer has occurred, the game is in "twilight". Discussion may continue until I lock the thread but no further votes or unvotes will be counted.
Activity
-You are expected to make at least one game-relevant post every 40 hours. Players who go 40 hours without posting will be prodded.

Where's the setup I don't want to parse it by reading every role pm. Did I miss it?"Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"
"Well, I..."

clarify what you mean by "full scum information enabled"? is it the "Scum are informed fully, they know each other's roles and may submit actions via PT." part of the rules?- Isis

i want to say just complete initial impression sightread that this is somewhat balanced? maybe even slightly on the scumsided end of balanced, honestly. making the loyal neighborizer simple is a serious nerf in a game with only 6 VTs, innocents from that are way way more valuable than "guilties" that really only force a claim. and apart from that the only real town power comes in the form of the watcher -- which is a powerful role, no doubt, but in large part is kind of a single-use in that it probably just trades 1 for 1 with scum, and in the worst case totally gets things wrong if scum use the ninja strongman and the roaming doctor targets the same person.- Isis

That's the c++ decrement operator but now it looks like dashes for a list oops"Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you?

yeah, that would be the thing that puts the scum Role PMs in the Mafia PTIn post 5, northsidegal wrote:clarify what you mean by "full scum information enabled"? is it the "Scum are informed fully, they know each other's roles and may submit actions via PT." part of the rules?
Simple Loyal Neighborizer is equivalent to a Neapolitan, while Loyal Neighborizer is equivalent to a Cop. The two are on very different power levels in my opinion. But yeah the scum have multiple ways to deal with a Watcher so Town might need a Cop analogue instead of a Neapolitan analogue.
Compulsive BG is an afterthought, I added it as a low power protective role. Though Roaming Doctor already can't follow the watcher so a base role BG might be better.
Below section is the setup as Isis wants it, I feel it might be a good idea but idk yet, want to hear nsg's opinion.
Setup:
Daytalk enabled
Inherent multitasking disabled
Full scum information enabled (this means scum know each other's Role PMs and can therefore submit their personal actions in their PTs)

Those look right except they're worded to imply multitasking for mafia."Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"

yeah these role PMs use a template from other games that use inherent multitasking so factional abilities are delineated from personal abilities
Editing that would require changing the sample Mafia Goon role PM.

as a secondary reviewer i actually don't have to sign off on a setup for it to pass. that being said as far as i can tell this one seems fine.
your conception of what a backup neighborizer is is flawed. it shouldn't by default start out in the first neighborizer's neighborhood.- TemporalLich

NSG knows normal mechanics a little better than I do probably, but I don't think a neighborizer starts with a neighborhood at all? A neighborhood is created the first time they successfully connect with a shot I thought. It matters in a way different from a notes PT: A neighborizer who doesn't shoot night 1 either is or isn't a miller to a PT cop. I always understood neighborizers to not be vulnerable to PT cops until they connect.
With that in mind/if that's correct, the best name for the neighborhood would be the name of the two players that are in it when it begins due to a [first] successful shot."Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"
