And in the interest of fairness we probably should share that info to prevent accidental or purposeful advantages gained from people getting access to that info. | ||

I think one of the inherent problems of trying to create a "standard" setup is that it already gives away more information than it needs to necessarily :/ Like I think semi-open setups are pretty restrictive in terms of the ability to do fun things like fakeclaim, and so I wouldn't run one for that reason | ||

If you control it in too much detail, it'll be ez to game the setup. Hey... That's pretty much how it is already! | ||

I'd imagine the goal of this thread would be to come up with a well-defined setup like Matrix6 or C9++ that we could call our own and make improvements until we're satisfied with the balance and how it plays out. In my opinion, a setup that is randomized between a list of possible open setups in the way to go. It's tough to say much about balance in a semi-open setup that leaves it up to the host to determine role distribution. It's a lot easier to examine the balance of setup that is a coinflip between 3 goon, 1 medic, 8 VT and 3 goon, 1 cop, 8 VT than a setup with "an unknown number of vanilla, cops, detectives, and vigilantes". While it may be difficult to come up with a 12-13 person setup with a set in stone role list and call it balanced, if you can come up with a couple slightly town favored setups and a couple slightly mafia favored setups and randomize the actual setup between these, than you can try to aim for something that averages out closer to 50/50, while promoting setup variety at the same time. | ||

Personally I'm against any sort of 3rd party in these setups. | ||

Hey... That's pretty much how it is already! I agree, but that doesn't mean we can't come up with the exclusive "TL Mafia Normal Mini" setup (with a catchier name of course). I wouldn't force the normal mini queue to just be only this type of game if it existed. This would serve as more of a default setup or go-to setup, with hosts having the power to tweak numbers/roles if they so desire for their own game. | ||

I also don't like 3P in minis. SK can mess with the balance too much, and Jester/Survivor is just so disruptive to the metagame in general. If I were allowed to host a mafia cup, I would use this setup No PMs, Roleblocks not notified 12 People Total 3 Scum (One Roleblocker, One Godfather, One Goon) 3-4 Blue Roles (Host can fill however he wants) Possible Roles Blue Roles: Cop, Doctor, Veteran, 1 Shot Vig, Tracker, Watcher, Jailkeeper Green Roles: VT, Miller, Nosy Neighbour No mad hatter as they carry too much KP in a mini. No Bus drivers because it should be a normal game, and night action resolution should be simple | ||
