[SETUP] BNL's 9p Matrix

1-shot Ascetic
Watcher
Roleblocker
Jailkeeper
Townie
1-shot Strongman
Tracker
1-shot Ninja
Doctor


Choose one row or column at random, then add 5 VTs and a Mafia Goon to create a 9-player setup.
"No result" and "Nobody" are indistinguishable for Trackers and Watchers.
The 1-shot Ascetic ability is active; that player must choose on which night to activate that ability.

The previous revision of this setup is here.

This is badly scum sided.
2019 stats: Town WR 76.7%, overall WR 81.667%, 1 scum defeat involving a major mod error in lylo vs 8 scum wins.

Wouldn't this game be more equal if

(1) "No result" and "Nobody" is distnguishible
(2) No extra mafia goon?

I'm mabye a serious player, but I'm capable of joke. Ok?

Are you guys misunderstanding the setup? This type of setup always results in 2 Mafia vs. 7 Town, which is already around 30% EV for Vanilla; even just adding 1-2 Named Townies to the mix helps town some (I'll get back to updating the Vanilla Variants thread eventually, and this is on the list), and that's an absolute lower bound of how the town can do. I'd be surprised if this isn't close to 40%, which is just fine in my book.

Top row is townsided. Left column is probably townsided (less sure on that one). All three columns are swingy enough that I'd seriously encourage the mod to tone down the swing if I saw them during a Normal review.
