Around when Catastrophe ends probably. Lots of people playing in multiple games at the moment.

I've got a setup idea that could be either normal or themed (I'm not 100% sure which one). Without revealing too much, since it's a closed setup, here's the basic idea:

- 11 players
- No flips, no notifications, no non-standard roles

Otherwise it's normal, but the fact that there are no role reveals on death makes it kind of non-normal.

What do you people think? How should it be classified?

We'll just call it normal for now unless others think it should be themed.


That is not a normal game. No flips? no notifications?

Themed. 10000%

I was thinking about that, yeah. It's not really "normal". The only real difference from normal is the no flips part though... Dunno.

That is a very big difference. Imagine you want to join a normal game you see your game with a normal tag and then there are no flips.

It just isn't a normal setup.

For me, whether a game is normal or not just comes down to how much consideration needs to be given to game mechanics and roles. Personally, I don't see a problem with a no-flip game being run in the normal category. I do think that it would be better to not run it as a closed setup, though.

If you know how many numbers of each alignment there are and if you know what kind of roles will be in the game (most importantly sources of kp), you already have a lot of information on the alignment of dead players. Also, in-person games are usually no-flip and I've never felt that it detracts from behavioral analysis.

It's very hard to tell though what you consider to be a "normal role" without it being specified. Roles like coroner/janitor/reviver are quite common in no-flip games but tend to drastically change the way that the game is played.

On a somewhat related note, that "cell mini mafia" game seems pretty clearly themed to me. That game has unusual lynch mechanics, a role that can massively change the game (the mayor), no kills for mafia, and no flips for "removed players". Almost every aspect is different from what's usually run as a normal game and a considerable amount of attention is given to the game mechanics.

Maybe we should do a vote then (I'll abstain from voting)

Poll: Normal or themed? (only standard roles, no flips, no notifications)

Themed (8)
 
62%

Normal (5)
 
38%

13 total votes

Your vote: Normal or themed? (only standard roles, no flips, no notifications)

(Vote): Normal
(Vote): Themed

Oh, and it's a closed setup, so you don't know the exact roles etc.

Whatever, it doesn't really matter too much to me if it's normal or themed... Maybe themed would be best if it's not 100% normal. On the other hand, like HiroPro said, Cell Mini Mafia is a lot "less normal" and still considered normal. Where do you draw the line?

Cell mini was not a normal game either.

A normal game has normal roles and standard mechanics with zero twists. That is it. If there is a twist it is not a normal game.

[M][N] Cell Mini Mafia? :O

I somewhat agree though...

Foolishness, could you rename it to "Mystery Mini Mafia" and reclassify it as themed?
