Pickow
7 Town
vs
2 Scum

In pregame one column is being selected at random. Based on that scum roles are distributed. On the beginning town members only receive their alignment.

ABC
Scum
Mafia Compulsive Doctor and Mafia Goon
Mafia Disloyal Rolestopper and Mafia Goon
Inquisitor
and
Jester
Row 1
Town Gunsmith and Town N3 Vigilante
Town Gunsmith and Town N3 Vigilante
Town N3 Vigilante and Town N3 Vigilante
Row 2
Town Insane Cop and Town Naive Cop
Town Sane Cop and Town Paranoid Cop
Town Sane Cop and Town Insane Cop
Row 3
Town Ascetic Rolecop and Town Ascetic Rolecop
Town Ascetic Rolecop and Town Compulsive Doctor
Town Compulsive Doctor and Town Compulsive Doctor

  • During day 0 row selection happens. Players need to select via majority, which roles are going to be added by voting for either 1st, 2nd or 3rd row. At the end of day 0 two random townies receive power roles.
  • Inquisitor works as described in wiki. He wins once he reaches parity with town. He appears as guilty to Cop.
  • If Jester gets lynched, he wins and causes next Inquisitor attack to be obligatory recruitment.
  • Cops are not being informed about their sanity.

So there's no day 1 execution? Most of these setups look pretty scumsided, then.
It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!

hmmm i guess odd number of players doesn't really make any sense, if no one dies on d1. 8 Town vs 2 Scum would make more sense here

Hey now thought you were team exile
"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?'"
"Well, I..."
"What? Nothing? You would make the prince suffer over... nothing?"

3C has this heavy incentive to leash the doctors onto one slot and plan to vote that slot the following day no matter what but I guess most towns wouldnt pull together for that kind of leashing?

Inquisitor knew during d1 that 3rd row is his dream choice and 1st deadly one, so you probably want to vote out people, who made this happen. Doctors itself are punishments for incorrect pick.

I see, is that kind of the conceit of the setup?
