A Normal Game must meet the following guidelines:
- The setting of a normal game should be Mafia related. Even flavor text should not be based on any book, movie, song, time period, etc.
- A normal game should have at least one Mafia faction, and no more than two.
- A normal game does not have to have any other roles other than Mafia and Townies. If it includes other roles, they should mostly be considered standard, such as Cop, Doctor, Vigilante, Roleblocker, Mason, Traitor, Serial Killer.
- Other (new or otherwise) roles can be included. However, there should be no more than 1-2 of these, and they should be based around the usual game mechanics: Killing, Protecting, Investigating, Voting.
- In general, normal games should include plain Townies. Don't overuse roles just to make your game more interesting (it probably won't make it more interesting anyway, just unbalanced).
- Certain setups which satisfy all of the above might still be better suited as theme games. Examples include Texas Justice, NYPD Mafia, and Hospital Mafia, in which all the innocent roles were the same. The setups of these games fit the guidelines outlined above, but their experimental nature makes them more suited to be run as theme games.
- Currently anyone wishing to run a Large Normal Game must submit the setup to EmpTyger, the List Mod, to check that it is indeed Normal. In borderline cases, fully open setups are more likely to be accepted.
