SS4 can be done with another townie. It elimates the massclaim factor. In which 2 people claim townies and 1 claims SS.

SS is better with 4-5 and you can add another role if you want to.

I'm thinking of modding a semi-open setup that might go sthg like this

67% chance sane cop, 33% insane cop
33% townie, 33% naive cop, 33% paranoid cop
50% townie, 50% doc
50% vig, 50% sk
50% townie, 50% psychiatrist
33% town lover pair, 33% masons both town, 33% masons one is scum
50% town rb, 50% one of the scum is rb
50% mafia gf, 50% mafia framer

etc. That sort of formulation. I'd love to work in all kinds of stuff like tracker, devil, survivor, lyncher, traitor... But I don't want to create situations like "oh we lynched the devil, that means there's no lyncher or survivor."

Can you think of any cool stuff that I didn't think of?

Although I have some concern about combining sanity with mafia alignment manipulation abilities, I think it's ok for mafia to have either a gf or a framer other things being equal.

SEAG: Small, Elderly, Asian, Gardner.

NOT a PGO who is UNNKable.
If he is targeted for a NK, he kills the Player who targeted him instead. That other player can only survive if he was protected by a doc. A doctor choosing to protect the SEAG will have no effect. The SEAG is so modest he thinks that he really is just a vanilla townie. (He receives the vanilla townie PM) He also wins with the town.

Lovely Mafia

2 mafia lovers A

2 lovers
3 townies

Nightless. Lovers die together.

Both mafia groups have just over a 1/3 chance of winning exlusively.

Protown lovers + open setup = can't get lynched
Protown lovers + nightless = can't get nightkilled = little reason not to claim.

Demidethy
(11 players)
3 mafia
4 cops (1 sane, 1 insane, 1 naïve, 1 paranoid)
4 vanilla townies
Cop Head Start

Sanity isn't revealed on death, of course.

-

Scumpower
(9 players)
2 mafia
1 adapter
6 vanilla townies
Day Start

The adapter prevents its nightly target from being killed overnight. Additionally, a successful protection grants the town an extra lynchblock, which is announced after they've finished their first one. The adapter may not protect itself. Scum no-killing doesn't grant another lynch.

(Generally, the point of a doctor is to deter the scum from targeting specific people; here, the adapter aims to actually stop kills. So I'm not sure about the ideal ratio here.)

Lovely Mafia v2.0

2 scum lovers A
2 scum lovers B
2 lovers
3 townies

The town lovers do not know that they are lovers. Nightless. Lovers die together.

Demidethy and Scumpower seem a little too easy for the town, though DD is probably reasonable.

So that's like having 5 townies where a random pair, unknown to anybody, die together. It's just a crap shoot.

All groups are public...meaning everyone knows that 1+2, 3+4, 5+6 etc are lovers?

What you effectively have is 6 player Vanilla nightless, just with 2 player teams.

Unless Mafia lovers A and Mafia lovers B are of different factions...

There's not a lot of incentive to pretend to be town. Lynches would probably be pretty random.

That's not Mafia.

Mafia = informed minority vs. uninformed majority.

what do you mean by trainee? It's not clear what differentiates a trainee and a normal role.

Well the trainee is kind of a back up person.
But don;t bother as I am going to think up a new one as this one is bad aswell!
