Changes to Normal Games (update September 2022)

[usesPython]

Another question: if an Indecisive (e.g.) Tracker is blocked from carrying out their action one night, can they attempt to target the same player the next night since they didn't actually take that action?

No

Indecisive is a role modifier that restricts a power role from using its ability on the same target two nights in a row.

Even if the ability is blocked or otherwise prevented, its user still cannot pick the same target for the ability the next night.

Likewise, if the ability is redirected or deflected, the role's original target cannot be repeated the next night, but you can intentionally aim at someone you inadvertently aimed for the previous night.

what's the normal status of geriatric rules

Mechanics which are explicitly Non-Normal include:

• Post Restrictions (other than those included in the ruleset, such as "No quoting your Role PM").

If it's done in the ruleset it's normal, if it's done by giving everyone a Post Restriction modifier it's not normal. I'd definitely announce it beforehand though

There's also historical precedent with:

• Large Normal 212
  
• Open 715

Are Monks Normal? And are Masonries that could have Werewolves in them Normal either?

They're not

In Normal games, Masons are absolutely 100% Town

[usesPython]

Informed Neighbor is normal though and does basically the same thing

I'm an advocate for Dayshitposting, mafia can daytalk but can only shitpost uselss nonsense

That's called the main thread

[usesPython]

It would be interesting to run a game where the deadlines are (# of living players + 1) days. Day one in a 13p mini would be 14 days, 3p elo would be 4 days...

Would a lack of deadlines be considered normal?

Mechanical changes which must be announced beforehand include:

• Day phase deadlines shorter than 1 week or longer than 3 weeks

If it's not normal to have no deadline just make the deadline like 10 years or something

In that list RH9 do you have the flip side of Loud/Announcing, where the person being targeted is made aware of the action or person targeting them?

Listening - You are informed of the players who target you (self-watcher).
Careful - You are informed of the action types that target you (self-voyeur).
