Hello hello. Lunch time for me so I'll go ahead and take a look.

You want to give me a quick overview of what you're going for with your setup? Assume the Mafia Gunsmith is to cause confusion for the Rolecop while acting as a PR hunt tool for Mafia. Rolecop will catch Mafia with the Encryptor. Potentially game is over with successive lynches after N1.

Town clears aren't a problem though.

Also, I'm going to ask eventually so might as well ask, what's your ruleset look like?

Town isn't going to win via clears from investigatives.

I'm assuming scum aren't multitasking by default?

If you want to make them multitasking your either need to state it in your rules or actually make the role Multitasking Mafia Gunsmith.

It's unlikely that both scum are hit N1 (of course that depends on play), but I just wanted to point it out. The Mafia Gunsmith isn't really weaker than a Rolecop here (I'd actually say stronger given the tendency for Gunsmith's to be town and Rolecops to be scum) since the only two Town PRs have guns. Encryptor is basically default scum chat with a potential Rolecopguilty given that there are only two scum and Encryptor is likely a mafia role, especially in a small setup.

Town get one clear/guilty via 1-shot Cop and a potential guilty on Encryptor via the Rolecop. Gunsmith, again, would tend to be viewed as town, but this could cause confusion with three investigative roles in the game.

I wouldn't add multitasking.

If multitasking and daychat are not in your ruleset as defaults they are assumed not to be included by default. You are free to explicitly state something to the effect of "Mafia do not have daychat and are not multitasking by default" if you want to.

I think it's pretty close to balanced as is, but I'll wait to see if Ircher has any thoughts or catches anything I may have missed.

Nah. If that's the only change, I'll take a look at your game thread once it's up to make sure it's there.

/pass

Go ahead and post it, but I doubt there will be an issue.

Yeah. Looks good.
