Normal Game Changes (New Year 2024 Update)

[Cook]

ego i like where this is going

might it also be possible to require normal mods to specify the boundaries of their compartment of setup design at least for a bit

[Cook]

i was also thinking in their game threads too, like how opens do

[Cook]

going to start giving mafia compulsive loyal vigilantes

[Cook]

yeah i'm not sure if demodifying multitasking was necessarily the best but sure

[Cook]

[nth]multitasking as a complex normal modifier[/nth]

[Cook]

i will say that while doing compartmentalization like this is cool, it may be a little overwhelming to the prospective newbie. two tiers may have been more manageable but if you think this is better as is then no complaints here

[Cook]

ideally the newbie setup should be a simple normal RAW and so simple normals should expand to fit the constraints of them

Name Changes

Finally, a minor detail - we have changed the names of certain roles. This should have little to no impact on gameplay experience, but may be worth noting anyway. The following changes have taken place:

Mailman -> Messenger
Strongman -> Juggernaut
Voyeur -> Observer

We are considering changing Macho and Godfather in future updates. If you have feedback on this, please feel free to give it in a constructive manner.

Arrogant, Boastful are my ideas for Macho (an

Arrogant Cop

or a

Boastful Townie

, for instance)

Honest, Undercover, Boss are my ideas for Godfather (an

Honest Mafioso

or an

Undercover Mafioso

or a

Mafia Boss

)

[Cook]

boss also lends itself very well to having a backup (the

Mafia Backup Boss

or

Mafia Underboss

) whereas Undercover sounds more like the modifier (a

Mafia Undercover Tracker

, for instance)

i will argue as well that undercover should be a blanket investigation immunity (an undercover cop shouldn't appear to have a gun, for instance)

[Cook]

that might be outside the scope of normality though

[Cook]

Double Agent for Godfather

has the same issue as traitor for me — it implies the leader is plotting against the mafia. that falls more under Usurper but regardless

[Cook]

the ideas are appreciated

[Cook]

Mafia Don could be a decent replacement for Godfather.

what about...

Mafia Mastermind

?

[Cook]

fair enough! thirded

[Cook]

Vanilla Townie, Town Citizen, Villager

[Cook]

wonder if you could use multiple at once
