GeorgeBailey's Mini Normal Review, July 2020

[mastina]

To my eyes, balanced enough. Alien is a good role for the town here with strong kill-denial and some denial of info to the scum PRs, but does have some anti-synergy with the town's power roles; pt cop is a reasonably strong investigative, but has some anti-synergy with the friendly neighbor neighbors (who're, essentially, masons); the friendly neighbor neighbors are, essentially, masons; the scum PRs don't give them any hard-counters to the town PRs but give them extra information to work with.

But I'm the secondary reviewer here so it's more Nexus's call here.

mastina, any thoughts?

On the prod dodging rule? It's fine in my opinion. Many mods, myself included, have that as a rule whether officially or unofficially, to avoid a player rules lawyering and being a completely dead slot the entire game yet due to a lack of a rule preventing it, technically not being able to be replaced, violating the spirit of the rule while following the letter of it. Having a rule specifying that won't be allowed is fine to me, because it allows a mod to be, well, a moderator, and as a moderator, make a judgement call on the health of the gamestate in regards to a playerslot, giving them the leeway to replace the slot if it is problematic to the health of the game.

On the setup? Already said I thought it was balanced.

On the role PMs/result PMs? Looked good to me.
