A Nightmare on ATRL 8 - "Choose The Format"

Campers (and Slashers) Of ATRL, A Nightmare On ATRL is finally coming backkk!!
It's been almost a year since the last A Nightmare on ATRL and it's about damn time I start the game again.
But before I start the game up, I decided to start a poll where you decide what format of the game you'd like to play.
Reminder of Game Information + Rules
Click Here
Game Information
You and a large group of ATRLers have taken a break from the horrors of ATRL and decided to take a hike in the woods. You guys are having the time of your lives, until something bad happens. Everyday, you realize that one less of you show up at the campfire at night. You accuse someone of murdering your friends, but the suspicion is on everyone. What do you do? Will you make an alliance to get rid of the murderer or do you sit back and fend for yourself?
Rules
The game is about survival. There are essentially two main group of ATRLers, a group of "campers" who are innocent, but are on the lookout to get rid of the murderers. The second group is called the "slasher" group because they are the ones disguised as campers who are murdering the campers. The main rule of the game is simple. I will decide who will be campers and who will be slashers. If you are a camper, your goal is to convene with your fellow campers at night to vote off one person from your trip. The person you vote off is the same person you accuse of being the murderer. I will reveal the next day if the person the campers voted off is actually one of the murderers or not. As for the slashers...your main goal is to kill off all of the campers before the campers vote you off. Simple right? WRONG. For this game to work, you have to form alliances with people who may, or may not be out to kill you in the end. And the slashers have to try EXTREMELY hard to keep their identity secret because if not, then the campers will be SURE to vote you off next.
B A S I C
Basic is the classic game format which was also played last season (Back To Basics). This format consists of Campers VS Slashers. 3 Of the Campers are Special Campers (Psychic, Cop, Tabloid Reporter)
More Info
Special Campers
3 special campers are going to be campers with special powers, something the rest of the campers will NOT have. The three campers are as follows - The Psychic: The Psychic is a special camper who has the ability to figure out another camper's indentity. Again, the identities are slasher, camper, and then if you're one of the special campers either a cop or the tabloid reporter. Every night, when we convene, you have the choice to PM me that you want to reveal another member's identity. In the beginning of the game, we assume everybody is a camper, since we don't know who the slashers are because their identities are kept secret. This is why the psychic is important. Of course you won't go and say "so and so is a slasher" because if you do, the slashers will most certainly kill you the next night. Be careful what you say
- The Cop: The Cop is a special camper who has the ability to save one person he or she wants to. So every night, the cop comes to me and sends me the name of the person he wants to save. When the slashers agree on one person to kill at night, and if that person happens to be the person a cop saved, that person will not die because the cop will have saved him or her. Remember to not give away your position cop, because you will give the advantage way into the Slashers favor if you are to leave. That means the Slashers can kill without any interference.
- The Tabloid Reporter: The Tabloid Reporter has the ability to read the slashers conversation. Going back to the slashers, they all have to PM each other about who to kill because then, they send their transcripts and the tabloid reporter has the ability to read it. In the transcript WILL be the name of the next victim. So it would be wise for the tabloid reporter and cop to work together to stop the slashers. But be careful tabloid reporter in telling people who the slasher is. You just might tell a slasher, and you're gonna be gone next

"The Psychic"

Again, the identities are slasher, camper, and then if you're one of the special campers either a cop or the tabloid reporter.

Of course you won't go and say "so and so is a slasher" because if you do, the slashers will most certainly kill you the next night. Be careful what you say. NOTE: The psychic cannot know the abilities of others, just who their identities are.

"The Cop"
The Cop
The Cop is a special camper who has the ability to save one person he or she wants to. So every night, the cop comes to me and sends me the name of the person he wants to save. When the slashers agree on one person to kill at night, and if that person happens to be the person a cop saved, that person will not die because the cop will have saved him or her. Remember to not give away your position cop, because you will give the advantage way into the Slashers favor if you are to leave. That means the Slashers can kill without any interference.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Slashers
Can kill anyone they like, but as the game gets harder, they adapted and gain new abilities.
THE SLASHERS
Although their ability is not that quite varied unlike the special campers, a little ability could help them edge out the special campers and the innocent ones.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Innocent Campers
are those that are trying to have a good time but are caught in the heinous and nefarious crimes of the slashers. But don’t fret, SOME innocent campers have innate abilities (abilities that are underdeveloped to fully classify them as special campers since they can only be used ONCE (1) in the game unlike the special camper’s ability that lasts throughout the game). All of the decisions will be sent via PM to me.
THE ACTIVE INNOCENT CAMPERS
THE PASSIVE INNOCENT CAMPERS
Played On:
Season 2
Season 3

Season 6 was a freaking mess. Nobody understood what was happening.

Anything but Katfight, please.
It's probably best to go back to the basics again. The updated version is fun, too, but it can be a bit confusing and turns into a mess pretty easily. :scary:

Season 7 (Basic) did snatch the Titles for Most Viewed and Most Replied to Season from Season 3 (Updated) 
Although, the other Updated Seasons, Season 2 and Season 4, are in 3rd and 5th place respectively

I miss this game
I love the updated, but we had a lot of characters. I think a simple basic version would do for this new season.

Oh definitely the basics. I never really supported the updated versions because the game, at least how I saw it, was never really meant to confuse people. I liked that everyone felt important, but by doing so it took away the fun of the original "special campers". Besides, some of them are a damn mess
As it is right now, the basic one is the best route to go. However, if we end up getting a lot of players (15+) you could introduce a few new characters OR make a few more slashers, whichever one you see fit. If it's new campers you want, I have plenty of ideas that I have not used yet that you could borrow. I suggest that you only use 3 new roles max though, as too many more would just lessen the excitement of being a special camper

Personally, I like both but I like the updated version a bit more because it has tons of twists and turns and it involves everyone into the game, although it could seem a bit confusing at first and is a lot harder to host, the seasons were it was played all turned out great when everyone understood what was going on. But still, last season was the biggest yet and it was basic so that's awesome too

Basic, the updated one is far too confusing sometimes.
