Feedback Round 3

FEEDBACK #1

happylappy: hiya, any chance you'd be willing to review an OS I have for approval/feedback?
penguind: uhh
penguind: im not the best person regarding theme balance
happylappy: fair enough. If you don't trust your judgement for approval, can I at least get feedback/input?
penguind: oh yea fs
happylappy: awesome
happylappy: https://pastebin.com/fsKXmYG9
penguind: territorial alien sounds super cool!
happylappy: ty, I think it'll be a pretty cool idea for solo scum. Has a hint of condemner in there
penguind: the general mechanic seems super fun yea and prs dont feel too overbearing
happylappy: That's good. I modeled it after classic, but had to reduce scum numbers a bit since I split WW into 2 aliens
penguind: yea the numbers feel fine
penguind: perhaps you could get some additional insight from snaq?
penguind: i know they love exploring new roles
penguind: and probably has more to say than i do kek
happylappy: I actually ran it by them first lmao
penguind: ahh kek
penguind: yea feel free to test the setup
happylappy: alright. I'm definitely going to look for another staff to approve it if I can, but if you think this is good to test out, I'd very much like to do that
penguind: thought the setup would initially be more role madness involved prior to you asking
penguind: but the setup isnt too overwhelming
penguind: i'll go ahead and give you the approval to run
happylappy: Yeah, I'm doing this theme partially for a final exam in one of my classes. I will be hosting it in-person, and I wanted to model it off of Classic (with a slight course-relevant twist)
penguind: ahh
penguind: that sounds super cool
penguind: have fun with that !!

FEEDBACK #2

happylappy: hiya, I know you're no longer mafia roomstaff, but would you be willing to give my OS a look for balance anyway? Not for hosting approval obv, but I'm looking for any feedback I can get
NewsDan ^-^: yeah sure!
happylappy: Awesome. let me know if you have any questions. my last round of feedback was to the tune of "scumsided, remove a mafia goon from most upper PLs". https://pastebin.com/fsKXmYG9
NewsDan ^-^: gimme a min
NewsDan ^-^: and i'll check
NewsDan ^-^: few questions
NewsDan ^-^: does pl count as cop in this theme? i assume no
happylappy: I mean, PL dies upon blocking an alien
NewsDan ^-^: i meant for hollow doc
happylappy: Oh it doesn't
happylappy: Only cops/neapolitans trigger hollow doc
NewsDan ^-^: hm i think id need to see this in a playtest but my gut is from 6-11p this looks fun
NewsDan ^-^: 12p + i feel like the aliens are a super weak faction
happylappy: Yeah. I was concerned about that. It's sort of like throwing 2 SKs into a 20p game and saying "good luck!"
NewsDan ^-^: and sks that cant kill nightly, too
happylappy: ye
NewsDan ^-^: i wonder (i'm spitballing here) if the solution is to remove multiball and just do a ton of territorial aliens
NewsDan ^-^: with a pl or two on town to conf townies
happylappy: any ideas for remedying that? I'd like to keep the alien powers consistent along themes, but I'd consider giving them 2 or 3 NKs in 13+
happylappy: Ooh
NewsDan ^-^: that could work too
NewsDan ^-^: just giving more kills by pl (maybe 1 kill for each maf in the game?)
happylappy: That's pretty good actually. minimum of 1 kill for 6p, right>
NewsDan ^-^: that may be hazy in mid-pls
NewsDan ^-^: but that can work i think
happylappy: yeah. I was thinking I'd assign it based on player count. every full 6p is another NK. 12p has 2 NKs each, 18p has 3 NKs each
NewsDan ^-^: yeah that should work
happylappy: Cool. Will apply that then. ty for the feedback! any other suggestions?
NewsDan ^-^: hmmm
NewsDan ^-^: nah i'd have to see it in action
NewsDan ^-^: but i like the idea!
NewsDan ^-^: i love themes where scum is pitted against each other
happylappy: for sure. Allows town to SR people for voting scum, which is an interesting dynamic
