[OLD] Open Setup Ideas and Discussion

[SensFan]

I dunno if anyone has mentioned this, but I think Lovers Mafia should have an extra Townie, but have a Night, so the Scum can kill. Under the current set-up, Town needs 4/4 Townies to lynch Scum Day 1, or 3/3 Day 2, which is too hard imo. My suggestion would require 4/5 Day 1, or 3/3 Day 2.

Lovers has been discussed to death - I've never seen you address the "Town must lynch unanimously two days in a row" problem.

While I agree with you (and have raised the point), it's "Town must lynch unanimously once in two days."

an odd number of players in lylo

always

requires every extant townie to vote for scum.

But the game doesn't usually START like that.

4/4 townies are required for a successful day 1 lynch, but that (along with scum daytalking) is part of what makes up for the 60% EV and the nightless.

Like I said, I'm not positive its a problem (and happen to really like the set-up), but I figured it should be discussed anyways.

[SensFan]

True. Further support for the fact that, whether anything is changed or not, the more opinions the better.

Wheels on the C9+2

2 Mafia (50% chance of 1 being Bus Driver)
0 or 1 Cop (50% chance of occurrence)
0 or 1 Bus Driver (50% Chance of occurrence)
5 to 7 town

What happens when both bus drivers target one another?

If you mean what happens when they both target the same two people, they go back to how they were.

Bus Drivers Can't Target Themselves

What if X is a Mafia Driver, Y is a Town Driver, and the following happens:

X targets Y, Z
Y targets X, Z

X targets Y, Z
Y targets X, W

X targets Z, W
Y targets V, W

X targets Y, Z
Y targets W, V

X targets Y, Z
Y targets Z, W

I think that covers all cases involving multiple Bus Drivers...

Fonz: what is this "standard 2-10 mountainous" you speak of? You make it sound like someone came up with this setup before. Anyway, I don't see what the problem is with a night start; there's an even number of players, so even with a day start, the town would have to nolynch eventually. So why not just start with night?

2:10 Mountainous (Day Start) is a tried set-up, played several times. Town has never won.

But then the Scum managed to have one of their own lynched VERY early (or they can counter the tracker/watcher), AND not manage to kill either Power Role. They shouldn't bitch about losing.

Confirmed innocence.

I still prefer the one when they can talk, though.
