Paradoxically and ironically, the freedom of choice can be restricting. Such is why I asked for prompt ideas to begin with.

Neutral Vigilante is alchemist

Blender is also a closed setup. The setup can be made pre-selected beforehand, you know?

[Zone_Q11]

Me no comprehendo.

[Frostwolf103]

Blender game, closed setup.

[Frostwolf103]

So not unfun bastard and unbalanced.

[Frostwolf103]

Crazy combinations yes

[Zone_Q11]

Never heard of Blender before, but it reminds me of my setups before Proph taught me about synergy and purpose of setups.

For your understanding: I host 2 types of games. First is normal games, like cop 13er, snails (whatever the setup was, but it was sth simple) or balanced setups of own creation, which are relatively simple. I don’t think people remember them much, since like… who remembers me hosting cop 13er, right? But they happen if I want to host something simple and very organized, let people train mafia skills or so. The other type of games are eevee madness, which are not simply role madness, but rat…

Ah yes, Enemy Within is based on your design of Blender

[Frostwolf103]

We just grab some modifiers, roles from town, mafia and neutrals and blend together. What’s the worse it can happen.

@Frostwolf103

the worse it can happen

A game still unmemorable. VCFM and Quantum are more fun and memorable than Mush Scraps (an unrun setup which has the properties of “Blender”).

[Frostwolf103]

I do remember some of the roles that dropped here, the reason enemy within existed is due to the experience I have in that game. No insult to Jackal Returns, I think it is well done that reminds me of the previous games I mentioned.

Having an enemy inside mafia chat that is from different minority group, I even end up having two double agents in their town cult chat that I tried a little too hard to convince other towns that weren’t converted that they are a threat.

It is true yes, that nearly destroyed them.

[Frostwolf103]

Divide and conquer.

[Frostwolf103]

Blender can go in two ways: Keep the original roles and alignments but have random modifier that works or change the roles and alignments without modifiers.

The original design just changed roles and alignments with a pre-selected roles that got chosen. There’s also rare chance that one of the roles is not changed at all.

[Frostwolf103]

Like sure, you could technically run Virtuous setup like that. But this can become too complex.

[ElizaThePsycho (Willow)]

Do not blender your setups need a theme

[ElizaThePsycho (Willow)]

Usually this theme is provided by flavor but when it Doesn’t Exist then you need to come up with mechanical consistency and machro mech ime

[Frostwolf103]

The key difference is the roles and the alignment.

You can have mafia roles with town alignment, town roles with third party alignments (depends on the role) and even neutrals with town alignment.

[Frostwolf103]

Didn’t saw your message sorry, the original design had FOL (forum of lies) roles as flavor. Enemy Within have Deus Ex and Jackal Returns is based on Town of Salem traitor mode.

[Frostwolf103]

Also, was it meant as a joke in some way? I was confused
