I was wondering how many backup mods am I allowed to have? I would like to have ~2 (Hectic and Gypyx because he designed the setup)
If I could push that even more, that'd be cool too and I wouldn't be lonely in the mod pt :3

I posted that before reading your setup, I'll look tonight. I just find nsg a funny review partner."Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"

Gypyx told me this conversation was gonna go down like this:
reviewers : so what's the setup
noraa : says setup
reviewers : wtf
noraa : gypyx designed it
reviewers : aaaah okayDream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today.

hello noraa
you really probably only "need" one backup mod and if you want to add more people to your mod PT you can just do that without declaring them as anything
as for the setup review i'll take a comedic single step backwards and leave isis to it, although i really would ask as to the purpose of a lot of the roles is, and also just recommend in general to tune down the complexity-

Hi! I know nothing about setups so all questions and stuff can go to gypyx
My only request is that the Novice three shot vig is not ever taken out as that was my role in my first gypyx game and its a Vanilla noraaDream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today.

basically, the base idea was to mix these concepts
vig + gunsmith vs doc

So, the sequencing on me uncorking a wine bottle and visiting this thread for this evening is a bit off for me, trying to generate an estimate of townsided/scumsidedness on a paper setup is something that requires maximum faculties. Design considerations require slightly less so that's what I'm going to post about.
1. Neighborizer being part of a JOAT seems like a design fail here. It's pretty gamethrowy to use the neighborizer before N4 here, and a N4 neighborizer is extremely nothingy.
2. We should be able to accommodate a novice 3-shot vigilante if that's the sacred cow. There's not anything particularly wrong with a novice 3-shot vigilante. It's preferable that the final design includes a town power role that can cause a kill to fail, because that makes it more likely that the 3rd vigilante shot can remain positive utility, due to evens/odds logic.
3. I'm a ninja-abolitionist but that's not the mainstream view. Isuspectthat the way ninja is being utilized in this setup is not the way players who are pro-ninja think ninja is best incorporated into setups, but I feel less confident about that assessment due to trying to make it through my own belief that ninjas shouldn't really be in setups in general (which is not mainstream, and idiosyncracies from a reviewer shouldn't be pushed on designers in the review process. Reviews are about things more widely held to be cardinal sins.) I'd like to hear from nsg about it
Like to me, if I tried to shift my view a couple inches to where I thought ninjas were cool, as far as town-aligned ninjas go I think I'd want to see a Friendly Neighbor Ninja. On the other hand, a Doctor Ninja seems like reduced-scum-agency layered onto reduced-scum-agency in a way that makes me bewildered."Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"
"Well, I..."
"What? Nothing? You would make the prince suffer over... nothing?"-

Using the tracker correctly and then watching kills fail anyway seems kind of frustrating.
Probably it's not something that's going to rise to the level where I insist on removing it."Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"

Removing the ninja is a way to reduce overall setup complexity, though, and msg is correct that the setup complexity here is too high."Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds.

If I had to call this setup scumsided or townsided I'd take townsided. Which makes revising a bit awkward because the scumteam is where a lot of the complexity should be removed."Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"

Generally I'm supposed to give you a revision I would pass, it's just tricky when I'm looking at something like this.
Role watcher seems pretty lost in the setup and it feels hard to predict how much extra setup insight and investigation it might add. That seems like something that could go. And that would help by killing the backup too."Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"

Gating PRs doesn't reduce setup complexity for the most part."Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"

That's much more appealing.
Investigatives that can only guilty one of three scum usually get frowned upon. Backup is a modifier so the mafia doctor is immune to the gunsmith whether the town doctor has perished or not."Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"

If the complex was dropped I'm no longer sure what I would have against passing it. Unless I'm underrating some of the town power roles it would just be fine.
Pedit: yeah, enabler doesn't let you toggle the gunsmith vs. doctor interaction either. It sucks a bit for what you wanted to do."Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds.

worried that with the complex dropped, setup might become too guessable
