MegAzumarill's Mini Normal Review, October 2021

[Datisi]

i have two concerns. the first is that, in the (admittedly very unlikely scenario) where the ninja is the last scum member alive, gets followed on the night they activate, and get reported as clear, that's most likely going to be outright game-losing for town, and in an unfun way. there's ways to fix that, but maybe this is a feature and not a bug.

the other issue i see is that i'd say the rolecop is stronger in this setup than it first seems. the ninja is an obvious guilty, however the even night cop is a probable guilty as well. i say that because, while the rolecop is unlikely to out the cop if they get that result, the mafia cop is also very unlikely to trueclaim their role. because if they do so, they're expected to be giving results, and they're guaranteed to get under scrutiny for not getting nightkilled - so they probably won't claim it, which would make the rolecop realize they're scum.

overall i'd say it's slightly townsided, though i'm not sure since i'm probably not taking the double doc into the account properly - there's nonzero chance they counterclaim each other.

as far as i recall, mafia ninjas in normals are very rare, and mafia ninjas that can produce a false innocent like that are even rarer. i'll leave the final call to mastina there, but i felt compelled to point it out.

depends if that's an issue you feel like you wanna change. i think making the rolecop announcing would help it, yeah. and i wouldn't change the even-night into a 2-shot, because a 2-shot cop is stronger, not weaker. (2-shot cop gets results on d2 and d3, even-night on d3 and d5.) would like to hear mastina's thoughts on how slapping on the announcing modifier affects the setup first though.

[Datisi]

are rulesets and investigation results no longer looked at during review?

no other concerns about the setup.
