As long as the overall balance works... and as long as it's not jesusmodding.
The power of [cops] will be weakened by the fact that just because you're a cop doesn't mean you're a townie. Also, I have no preference for roles. None of them look to silly to me. As long as its balanced.

What do you mean by jesusmodding?

In this case, the balance is handled by weights (+ for town, - for anti-town) and auto-balanced as much as possible by the script. So I won't be interfering.

Once I get the basic balances up I'll post the weights that I have, and people can give me feedback on any that seem out of whack.

yeah but you should consider the third party roles and make the kills simultaneous.  All kills are made at the same time.  Not what happened with Solifuge and us.

Y'know, as much as I enjoy having computers do everything for me, situations like the 3 vets are why I prefer to assign roles through a combination of Random.org and human adjustment where necessary...

Well, yeah. I'll review it for sanity before it goes out. I just overestimated the effect that the Exterminator would have on the game last time, which is why I allowed it.

There won't be more than 1 of any given role per side this time, so that should help even things out a bit.

What do people think about improving the Psychic Warden's ability to being able to role-block anyone? Right now it's pretty powerful as a Dopp role and generally useless for the town.

Re Poll: I think there should be a maximum of one investigative role per side.
Re Psychic Warden: That sounds like a good idea.
