it seems quite good but the day doctor might not work in practice, what if the daykill is sent in before the day doctor is?-

That's a good point. I think that we give a death leeway of 20 posts for the day sk- maybe give him gassing flavour- meaning that if the doc successfully notices the silenced individual and protects them before 20 posts have passed, then they are saved, complete with the knowledge that they were targeted. As for the vig, if the doc was too late, he fails to save them. Meaning the day should be a very cautious time. I'll see if I could run this as a mini normal in future.-

Okay, this setup is HUGELY speculative and is only semi-open. It should be obvious what has inspired this.
Doctor can't be first pick in order to prevent follow the cop strategies(Pick Doc R1, pick Cop R2, pick 1-Shot for Cop R3, Cop claims, success).
Roleblocker can't be first pick just because it most likely always would be.
Godfather/Ninja can't be picked R3 because generally a GF/Ninja only uses one shot in a game, so they would be obvious R3 choices. Removing them will give more variability.
There are obviously going to be balance issues, and some roles will need to be removed/added. Conceptually is it plausible? Are there any breaking strategies for either side?@thesupertriomusical on Instagram, come see it if you’re in LA area, I wrote it!-

I think there are stratergies for town, but scum can easily counter that. The main one i saw was 3-shot cop 2-shot doc but scum can counter that by banning doc round 1.-

Hated Supersaints are terrible.
And it's horribly scum-sided.(Mostly) on hiatus until further notice. Planet MafiaScum 2 will be modded by Inspi and JDGA - go check it out!-

Isn't optimal town strategy there for the loved townies to volunteer to be lynched? Perhaps on day 2 or 3, so as to allow relational tells to build up first. Then the Love Guru effectively becomes an FBI Agent, which sucks for the SK.scum· scam · seam · team · term · tern · torn ·town-

That could result in 6 NKs though.... not a good strategy.#freeShotty-

Eh. Death Millers are pretty bad, but I suppose in the right setup theycouldwork. Though an Open game would distort their nature a bit.(Mostly) on hiatus until further notice. Planet MafiaScum 2 will be modded by Inspi and JDGA - go check it out!-

well my original idea is in the quote below, but it probably isn't completely balanced so adding power roles could help balance it.
game idea - Keep Guessing wrote:
9 player set-up
2 Mafia Goons
7 Lynch Millers (appears goon if lynched)
the mafias nightkill appears as miller, daystart
i was thinking about adding a power role or two, but i dont know what would work, or even if the setup is a good idea.-

maybe it could be a semi open setup with a varying number of lynch millers.
eg
game idea cont - Keep Guessing 2.0 wrote:
9 Player setup
7 Town
2 Mafia
1 Town Cop
1-6 Lynch Millers (appears goon if lynched)
1-6 VT's
2 Mafia Goons
if a lynch miller is killed at night they flip "lynch miller". Day start-

the problem is it's just not very fun. there's nothing new apart from the death millers, and they make it very hard to draw relational tells through obfuscated flips. it's why they're not used.
overall the setup is swingy (due to the varying amounts of death millers) and unbalanced to scum's benefit
