i think in practice they’re still all interchangable
decent example of this in practice (and the only good thing to come from this game that wasnt a meme) would be sfol56 “Cult 2.0” where all of the scum classes had their alignments changed to a ‘Cult 2.0’
and i think all of the town-aligned-but-not-BD classes were also changed to be BD
tbh i think the biggest problem with the GI thread is the massive amount of classes that don’t have a class typing
theres like 20 different “X Italy” classes and probably 10 different "X FUCK"s
…i am guilty of this as well and should probably edit my past cards to compensate
although a few of them have passives that alleviate this
Remember when we had “effort” as a rule for V2, so it doesn’t become a mess like V1 
yes
I think that’s a huge problem and there’s no ruling as a host for how to interperet this
like mind flayer has effects that use class type but what the fuck do you do with the classtype “italy”
like
aaa
There is only one solution.
We have to tell Xblade that we should introduce the Italy classtype to Tol.
(I doubt that itll work, but I like that idea regardless 
)
yeah i just fixed all of my prior classes (most were obvious enough or had a passive that said what they should appear as)
this is actually a thing that should be enforced though
consistent class typing unless there’s a very good reason not to have one (cant think of any but one prob exists)
probably an avoidance of classes like this
if theres at least no modifier to them
like i think this is fine
since it has something else on top of it
granted
these are already all in the OP
just not very much enforced
the rules of the GI thread have never required a specific flavor
class 2 is Mafia-flavored
class 87 is town-flavored
there’s not, fundamentally, much of a difference between

but yes the class types thing is an issue
gi has always required a certain amount of trimming on the host’s part
if there are classes for which class types matter, the host is within their rights to remove funny class types

i hope nobody is under the impression that GI is actually about following the rules absolutely to the letter
a host’s responsibility to hosting GI is to make it approximate something playable
Write down some definitions in the reviewer thread, give the reviewers some time to disagree/rewrite them, and then put it in the OP yourself.
That’s the usual way to go when you notice that the responsible people won’t do it themselves (cuz they rarely do, they still havent even given an updated list of who is reviewer, despite being asked multiple times publically and privatly)
the obvious ones:
FoL
SFoL
the fm gang:
vanilla - tested open / semi-open fm setups
standard - can mean a lot of things, but uses standard-ish roles
mishmash - mash but not beeg
mash - beeg mash
things I like:
bastard - explicitly bastard games
alternatively you could go fancy with
The Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic Event in Human History
FoL - Official gamemode on this site. Obvious one.
SFoL - Game which is based on FoL, but with some own modifications. Usually has to have some elements specific to FoL, like class typings etc.
Vanilla - Open or Semi-open setup, only basic roles (which we have noted in other thread).
Standard - Closed setup, mostly consisting of basic roles, some modifications or own ideas allowed.
Special - Games consisting of mix of weird roles and mechanics.
Mash - Pretty much everything above 25 players (this is to make sure 2 big games won’t run at the same time).
