I want to play West Wing only if I can RP the entire game as Martin Sheen.

Ok...Noob question and I'm not sure if I should ask this here or in the actual game. In general, those who've modded a game, is it standard practice to randomly assign roles or pick and choose for each person? Maybe that will help me understand some of the discussion in current game.

[Loaf]

in my experience, I usually random out all the roles but sometimes I may give a specific one to a person if I feel they'd play it best or if I feel they've been cursed with bad luck lately or w/e

Random is standard.

For my games, I typically will assign 2-3 roles, and if the scum teams look too powerful (IE all people who have been playing well for ages on the forums and are notoriously hard/impossible to lynch) or too weak (all new people who likely won't work together well) I will modify them slightly. But mostly random.

I always random roll it in games I've modded. Praise be the random. Nobody get the rights to complain later if it's randomly rolled. And weird-ass streaks are freaky instances of random instead of typecasting.

I know a lot of mods tend to swap key critical roles out of new players though. If the new guy is the cop, and the new guy decides to skip the game, then the town is at a severe disadvantage. Others like to NOT do that just because that is what you might expect to happen.

Case in point:
- In the stargate game, town lost a key critical TPR due to the new player decided to skip game. This probably unbalanced the game in favour of scum.
- In the harry potter game, two newbies (at the time) ended up as a SK duo. I think this was one of the best games we ever had, in no shortage due to that setup.

I will make no commentary as to the relevance of this with the current game. That's a question for the game thread

In a lot of Places statements like this could be artificial. I think you can safly bet there are a good chunk of people here who actuality can relate and do care.

It depends on the mod and the game I'd say but the majority of people in any game will be randomed, and all in some. Occasionally people assign (or even craft) specific roles to specific people, in the only game I've moded we assigned a specific character to Listo and we made sure no brand new players got difficult to play/major roles (First time I randomed it a new guy ended up SK so I re-randomed) because sometimes new players disappear and if a VT or goon disappears it's not as big a deal as an SK, cop, jack etc going MIA.
