How to balance games?

[warpdragon]

Is there a specific method that works, such as using a random number generator to stimulate random choices? Or is it a skill that comes form playing many games and seeing many outcomes? Is best just to get more opinions from people who choose to help you rather than be in the game?

Ok that being said, who wants to critique my Kill Bill MiniTheme?

jeep: most of that will read something like "cop investigates townie: innocent"

That makes sense, but then wouldnt you have to go through thousands of possible actions for each night choice for it to yeild reslts or did I miss something?

And couldnt the RB block the CL for recruiting the BG in the above example?

Flay: if there are 5 night choices targeting any of 12 people, that is 60 possible nights, then look at 12 possible lynches, then another 50 or so possible night choice combos etc and you need to multiply them together. The first 2 days yield roughly 60x12x50x11 = 396000 possible games. And then some minis go on to days 5 or 6, so you have many millions of possible games. Look at the way all of the beginner mafias play differently, with just a basic 7 person setup.
