If there's a way (with backups) to catch them through night action and not through luck on lynching, that's okay.

Mafia = Giggle but also get ready for the worst, thought the first is variable based on teammates.
SK = facepalm but try anyway because the role is only as bad as you make it. This also goes with any third party, mostly for how bad of luck I've had with them so far.

Mafia = Screams internally
SK = WHYYYYY.

I've rolled SK a total of 2 times, and all it's done for me is hate the game and the role
Back to my old main for now

I groan. The first time I was mafia I giggled. Rather, I groaned the first time, then I warm up to it once I realize it's a game about lying.

I randed four man serial killer faction in a 172p game, got poisoned by the wolves while the town poison doc was fake poisoned. Everyone on the board basically spent the day phase wanting me to be saved. Alas :(
On the upside we outlasted the 40-man wolf team at least :)

I could only vote twice per day

There was a role that gave the player the full setup. I was outed day one and lynched

Honestly it depends on the mafia teammates.

SK is fun to play, but I hate being town trying to uncover a SK. Lack of association tells makes it a crapshoot.

It strikes me that SK-ish roles probably work better if their win condition is compatible with town's (i.e. they won't necessarily win together, but at least there's a possibility). That way they can do their own thing without town having to go through the frustration of hunting them.

Here is what the game looked like

Setup

Serial Killer Quadruplet Voter ( has 4 votes each worth 1/4 of a normal vote)
Town Zombie
Survives their first death
Town Amplifier-Vortex

Dexter Morgan (me)
-Kills random killing ability
-Knows about all killing abilities
-invests innocent
-if protected by doc, doc learns you are SK
-can only vote twice a day
-bulletproof


Town Post Restrictor (can give a player some sort of post restriction.
Town Lover
The Role Swap
-during pregame, gets the option to take on the role of someone else
-can also chose random role
-knows the full setup

(They chose random and became a morphing survivor.)

Town 1-shot Deathproof Rolecop
Town Treestump



Essentially

Role swap claims. Says that one SK can only vote twice. I get outed. Lynched. He becomes my role. No NK somehow . gets quad voter lynched. NKs the zombie . wins as town
so...i don't get enough sleep

Yeah but that means mafia gets wrecked more easily
I can PM you an offsite game where a towny SK destroyed scum

"Town vig with a survivor wincon" is a questionable role at best.

It's equivalent to 4 man scumteam in a 17p large.

I wonder how the win percentages change with fixed ratios and increased playercount.
