matrix 9p
7 Townies

2 Mafia Goons



All players are secretly and randomly distributed on a 3x3 matrix, the mafia are aware of their location on the matrix.
ex of what the mafia see in their pt:

?????????
???
Goon 1
???
??????
Goon 2


During pregame, the mafia team must submit a 3x3 matrix with power roles assigned to locations
Conditions of a valid pregame submissions:
  • The Mafia must spend at least 5 points
  • Assigning power roles to corners decreases their value by one
  • Assigning a power role to the center does not increase their value, but does grant one extra GPS shot
  • You cannot choose the same role more than twice
  • You cannot assign more than one power role to the same location
  • Power roles cannot be assigned to members of the scum team
  • Power roles must be chosen from the following list:
Spoiler: Power roles and point values
  • Cop - 3
  • Watcher - 3
  • Doc - 2
  • Jailkeeper - 2
  • Friendly Neighborizer - 2


mafia faction stuff

For each point spent above 5, the mafia faction gains one shot of a factional GPS ability. During the night, mafia have access to a factional night kill and may only use the GPS ability once per night.
GPS
- target any living/dead player: their location on the matrix is revealed to the mafia
Daytalk is enabled (for town and mafia), mafia can multitask

town faction stuff

POWER ROLES
- can only target players adjacent to them (not diagonally), however townies are not aware of their position on the matrix so instead, during power role distribution, power roles are given a list of people they can target.
flips do not reveal position on matrix
yes you can target the dead

example of a valid submission:
Cop
??????
???
Goon 1
Cop
???
Watcher
Goon 2

Cop(Corner) = 2, Cop = 3, Watcher = 3, Total = 8 (is valid), mafia get 8-5=3 factional GPS shots

Let's say mafia target me night 1, updated matrix ex:
Cop
??????
???
Goon 1
Cop/OkaPoka
???
Watcher
Goon 2

do you think solving the matrix helps town that much? i designed it under the thought process that solving the matrix helps scum more than it helps town
