Mini Normal 2296: Pictures of my cat, sometimes | GAME OVER

[Thestatusquo]

Mini Normal 2296

Current Game State:

Game Over

Spoiler: Result

Town wins!

The Basics

1. Day Phase: 10 days. Night Phase 2 days
   
2. 36 hours before prod, 24 hours before replacement.
   
3. I have a "Don't play if you're not having fun" rule. Please avail yourself of it. There's no shame in requesting replacement if you're not enjoying yourself.
   
4. Respect everyone's basic humanity. Do not be an asshole to people. Don't be a racist or sexist or really any other -ist. Respect other players displayed pronouns.

General Rules

1. Have fun. This is not an option. Games are only good when players are having fun. If you are not having fun, replace out. There is no shame in this. I have no problem with it. You are not a bad person. Both you and the game will be happier for it.
   
2. The mod is always right. Always. Yes, even then. However, if you think there’s some confusion, and it absolutely can’t wait until the end of the game, send me a PM; do not break my game because you died when you didn’t think you should’ve.
   
3. Days will continue until one of two things happen: a player is killed or a deadline passes.
   
4. Do not be toxic in my game. Being toxic is subjective and I am the final say on what that means. If you have a problem with that, don't play my games. But I will forcibly remove players from the game if I feel like they are playing in a way that is insulting or rude to the other players in the game. You don't get to be an asshole just because you're playing a game on the internet.
   
5. Do NOT quote your role PMs, OR any other form of communication from me unless it is something I have already posted on this thread. This is a modkillable offense. Depending on severity of the infraction you might get a warning instead of a modkill. Don't test this. You probably won't. Two warnings is an automatic modkill.
   
6. Do not discuss the game outside of the game thread unless your role allows you to, in which case you may only do it during the specified times and in the specified threads. This is a modkillable offense.
   
7. You’re required to post regularly. I prod after 36 hours of inactivity and replace after 24 hours of no response to the prod. This can be flexible if you PM me in advance.
   
8. Once you’re dead, you’re no longer subject to the previous rule. As a matter of fact, once you’re dead, stop posting. I will permit one simple “bah” post and nothing more.
   
9. In the event of a modkill, it will end the day.
   
10. If a deadline passes without a player receiving the majority of the votes the day will end with no kill.
    
11. The days in this game will last 10 days.
    
12. If you don't get your choices in, your default action is NO ACTION.
    
13. I will be especially harsh on players who are prod dodging. I will count posts with little or no game contact, or a pattern of posts with little or no game content as a prod dodge and will replace you out of my game. I expect activity and I expect everyone to be playing. See rule 1 about replacing out if you are not having fun or do not have the time to play.

VT Role PM:

Welcome. You are a Vanilla Townie.
You have your voice and your vote.
You win when the Mafia have been removed.

In Normal games, mod need to specify that daytalk and multitask active somewhere.

I can't see anything, so there's no daytalk and mafia can't multitask.

This mod has not modded a normal in a decade i don't think.

All PTs in this game are always open by default. I should have announced this in the opening post. Apologies for lack of clarity.

This game also does not have multitasking.

Hey everyone, quick reminder that the site no longer uses the L word to refer to eliminating players due to its history of racialized violence in the US. The term "eliminate" or "lim" is now preferred. Thanks!

[Thestatusquo]

I think tchill could have maybe wormed his way out if there were any real explanation for a second kill in a mini normal but there really just isn't.

[Thestatusquo]

the mistake was the n2 kill. They knew red wasn't vanilla but shot mit instead.

If scum kills red they have a really good shot of winning this game.

[Thestatusquo]

Thank you Shea for running the game, very fun

And thank you so much for stopping by and playing! It's been so nice to see some old faces and I hope you end up sticking around.

[Thestatusquo]

I agree that I don't love the setup but I disagree that it is super town sided.

I think mostly I would describe it as more swingy than unbalanced, it depends a lot on what the vig and the role cop do and if scum can find and kill the rc.

I agree that I don't think that the strongman was necessary.

I personally am not a fan of ascetics as cover for scum because I think the way town typically deals with those from a meta point of view is to just lim unclaimed ascetic roles. This is reasonable but then it puts scum into a shitty situation where they have to claim the role d1 so its not actually super useful.

I would prefer another type of counter to the role cop if it were my setup. Something like a scum doctor I think would have been very interesting in this setup because it confounds the role cop and protects scum against the vig.

Not sure about how that balances without crunching some numbers.

[Thestatusquo]

I mean I didn't make the setup, it was made 2 years ago by RadiantCowbells.

I took a ready made setup to mod a game as quickly as possible because we had a bunch of returning players joining the queue and no mini normal lined up for them and I didn't want y'all to have to sit around and wait.

[Thestatusquo]

I guess my perspective is that scum had the tools to win this game and chose not to, and that yes the vig is a powerful role even when they always shoot town, but its not like town had a ton of other power.

I think not shooting redff is a big blunder that lost you the game on the spot.
