Oh, I don't disagree, necessarily. It just wasn't a serious suggestion for Open Games. If someone wants to run it as a Mini Theme, feel free.

That's insanely imbalanced. If you don't limit the vig's to one shot, that could fix it.

It was hard to tell it was a joke. I almost said something.
You're right that the setup is unbalanced though. Scum would have to be awesome to win that.

Meh I go for dry humor. It was actually a nuanced joke, because it was actually imbalanced with 2 scum to 8 town nightless but what I suggested would do absolutely nothing to fix it and continued in the same vein as IH's first joke.

Nominate Texas Justice
; the people who missed that sign-up could practically fill up a second game on their own.
Nominate 7-player Vengeful
; have we ever done one of those?
For the record, I quite liked Shafted's joke.

For all lovers of vanillaish Open games-Tree Stump mafia (3 Mafia, 9 Tree Stumps) is about to start taking signups in Mini Theme Queue.
I replaced into Chess Mafia for 6 months, and all I got was a win and this lousy sig.

Second Texas Justice. I liked several of the other Justices thrown about, but they're probably not Normal. Neither is AITP (or Vengeful, really...)

Propose Mafia and Werewolves
2 Mafia
2 Werewolves
1 Cop
1 Doctor
1 Seer
1 Angel
7 Townies
The Cop can only get guilty results on Mafia, not Werewolves, and the Doctor only protects from Mafia.
The Seer can only get guilty results on Werewolves, not Mafia, and the Angel only protects from Werewolves.

My feeling is that tolerance for Vengeful is reasonable, because its "not normal" characteristics are what allow it to be possible to have a 2-person scum group in a 5-player game. That was the whole thought behind its design.
@Haschel
I'd cut three townies from that... And still bet some money on a town win.

No I understand that, and think 5-p Vengeful has a place. But a 7-player game has many more options available to it.

7-player Vengeful does have three scum, but I'm a bit discontent that, assuming random moves, there's a 3/7ths chance that the game doesn't get to Day 2. (1/7th chance of GF lynch plus 4/7 * 3/6 chance that a townie is lynched and vigs town.)

4:8 is nightless vanilla, that might be what you're thinking of. 2:10 vanilla is traditionally used as the 12 player version. But I think 3:14 was open 2 vanilla.
So if I have to specify, I'd like to see the 2:10 come up soon.
Sup, later.

All the setups in #1372 and #1374 should be normal, at least.
