Simple but functioning/fun setups
So I've been looking at the newbie setup and I really like it. I was thinking of running Matrix6 is the Micro queue but it's basically a moot point when you can just /in SE. So I've turned my head over to simple, yet functioning, setups. These setups would have simplistic roles in, 100% whitelisted in NRG. Two that I've seen are JK9 and CD9, but I'm wondering if anyone has any simple setups they personally enjoy playing or like the sound of, or even a new one they think would work (although that would obviously also be more appropriate in the Open setups thread.)
Thanks in advance!-

just popping in to shamelessly mention my setup, it's an all-vanilla setup but I find it much less boring than simple mountainous"Don’t buy a dozen eggs if you just want a hardboiled egg.

I like the idea, although I'm not sure how I feel about White Flag

Friends and Enemies is good. Near-Vanilla might be up my alley, but I've never played one. Alternating 9P seems to also work out all right? I liked F11 when it was around. Twin Trap isn't teeeeeeeeechnically normal, since Tracker-Immune and Watcher-Immune aren't whitelisted modifiers, but it's still very straightforward. Pick Your Poison is normal outside of the pregame choice given to scum, although I can't help but think Patrick's versions of it were more interesting.
If we're plugging our mountainous opens, don't forget Chosen! More people should run Chosens. Games that balance themselves through forcing scum to behave differently are neat.
Truth and Justice has no sense of balance and shouldn't be played. You can't just take the C9++ format and throw in some weak power roles and strong mafia counters and call it a day. When you're getting setups like 1 bodyguard+6 vanilla townies vs. a mafia JOAT+a mafia roleblocker, something has gone very, very wrong.As I move my vote

The chances of that are rare and 3 cops vs godfather, roleblocker and a mafia goon is the epitome of balance in C9++.
If that happens you basically have a 2v7 moutainous, though I'm still thinking of different ways to change that last section for said flaw."i agree we should have a rule against wgeurts" -Davsto

The chances of any single setup are rare, because that's how C9++ format games work. That does not make the design okay. It just means that your perception of what corresponds to 3 Ms' worth of mafia power is extremely off. I don't want to turn this thread into a discussion of how to fix that, so that's my last word on the subject.As I move my vote

Worse Idea Mafia, one of my all time favorites: All townspeople are dayvigs. Scum has a godfather than can vig, but the goons cannot. The scum gets a night kill as usual. Day ends upon successful dayvig.Join me on my quest to play every NES game! Some of them are awful.
Kuribo's read is foolproof: one night he was high on NyQuil, and he's ancestors reveiled Aureal's alignment to him. - Dessew-

Cyclic Mafia is one of my favorite past mafia games. I think simplistic open and closed forms of it are a nifty idea. I don't know in what sense you want it to be simple since the cycling action is a brand new addition, but it lets your add straightforward stuff like jailkeeper and doctor without ever worrying about a lategame massclaim strategy ever accomplishing anything at all."Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"
