Alright, newb question time. How does one calculate that?

Aka: why JPK asked LB to help Co-mod.

-JPK (obviously)

There's a guide in the mafia MOD thread OP, towards the bottom.

This is 4-6, depending how much value you put on untold things that throw town patterns out of whack.

Given they are expecting a TMDI 2 with an M&P set-up, it's gonna mess them up nice and proper, because all attention will be dedicated to figuring out mechanics, and not paying attention to player behavior (which is what you're supposed to be doing).

Found and saved it, thanks.

I think I'd rate it a 4-5, myself. 2 killers not linked, a symp, a guard, and the cf twist. I left out the healer, took away the killers lover conversation, and didn't go for a vig.

Frankly, I warned people I was new at this. It's also the only way I'm going to learn though.

Basic rule of thumb is that all sides need to clearly understand how they are to play. Player expectations are incredibly important thing to keep in mind. They have a tendency to always over-complicate what to you may seem the simplest twist.

I got burned with this a few times when modding. Since then I try to spell out most of the mechanics in games I run.

[Path-Shaper]

We COULD always claim that we thought M&P stood for Mean & Pnasty. Just a thought...

Anywhoooo I think it makes the game more interesting. I'm planning on trying to stay under the radar as their CF puppet, although I have been kicking around the idea of pretending to be silenced somewhere around Day 3.

I can only see this ending in tears. Just sayin'

I promise that the next game I participate in modding I will post a TMDI, although if town wins, they will all be slapping themselves on the backs and congratulating their brilliance despite the adversity of the setup.

Would it be a mistake to post a mod update informing them off the recalculated TMDI?

I was kicking that idea around myself. You could post a "Hey folks, was just kidding on the M&P..."

-Bliss

[Path-Shaper]

That's what I'm going to do. But I'm not going to apologize. I finally learned that lesson...

Did Mac just quit?

If so I say we promote a healer to keep balance.

He might've. He hates high TMDI games.

TMDI:4 = Small number of rare/complex/unique roles or mechanics.
TMDI:5 = Multiple threats to town. Eg: Cult/Serial Killer/Second scum faction.
TMDI:6 = Large number of rare/complex/unique roles or mechanics.

You should probably let us know if this is a faction game i.e. Cult or if there is a SK running around.

Eloth likes to have a hissy fit, don't sweat it.

This does require a big thought shift for all us RI though - we thought we were just hunting scum killers. Now we have no idea where we are.

I'd say it's a 5. It's no longer a 6 now that we've told them. Fuck telling them there is an SK. I'd just say there are 1 or 2 non standard roles.

[Path-Shaper]

Also promote a healer in case Mac quits. I wouldn't make it Blend though.

[Path-Shaper]

Any ideas for someone to sub for Maccy?

-JPK

[Path-Shaper]

Nope. Modkill him. Promote a healer and extend day.

[Path-Shaper]

Finder would as well. Either would boost town.

[Lady Bliss]

Fixed if they accept.

[Path-Shaper]

Promoted Serc to healer. Used a dice-roller to decide.

So long as they accept my resignation, use normal CFs. All should be right in the world.

Also reset the timer on day 2 completely.

[Path-Shaper]

Perfect. I think crisis is averted and I really don't care if Mac thinks I'm a dick. I might even be flattered.
