Does Infection work like a roleblocker? (Resolves before night actions?)
D1 2 antitown votes max
D2 4 antitown votes max
D3 8 antitown votes max
D4 16 antitown votes max
If there is no scum lynch D1/2 it's likely scum can autowin on D3.
Initial thoughts, swing level is crazy high. Game can be solved by D3, which is :/ Scum are disincentivized from killing before N3. Swing would reduce drastically if you increased the number of scum and made infection factional.
I'm gonna go with infection resolves first before PRs, so yes, that'll make it work like a roleblocker.
It's kind of the point that the disease spreads exponentially; that's how real diseases spread. I could change it, but I want to try other alternatives first. Mafia already get a list of who is infected. What if they got to choose who spreads the disease, up to half the infected? The other infected would still submit a target, but their action would do nothing. If I do go this route, I will mention the swingy aspect of the setup.

I think you misunderstood the suggestion. I was saying reduce the n1 infection rate to 1 (still an exponential model) but make a third scum. There are still 4 antitown votes D2, but the scumteam doesn’t have as much control over who gets infected and there is more of a chance for town to interfere, meaning a longer less swingy game. Scum also is less fragile about losing members meaning bussing to keep immunity limited is more viable. The infected are unlikely to claim early as well.
I assume quarantiner wins if they cross target with the infected, right?
Yeah Quarantiner should trump infection if the two target the same player.
And okay, I see. Yeah we could do that change.

That looks balanced enough for government work. Neither faction is able to win before D3, and every action has increasing returns. It’s interesting that town should actually care more about mitigating spread than killing scum.
What is the wincon of a player killed while infected?
If they are killed while infected, they still possess the infected win con, so they win with scum. I guess I could do it the other way too, whichever way you think more people would enjoy.
Another thing I thought of is that the social distancers should count as permanently immune to the disease since they can't get it. Let me know if that changes your perception of the setup's balance.
I'm also thinking it'll be public knowledge that players can recover from the disease over time, but not the specific amount of time it takes.

In post 9, Jingle wrote:I was assuming distancers counted as immune. You might want to address the fact they can't be nightkilled, actually.
Maybe by forgoing infection the mafia kill can hit anyone?
Yeah I think that still makes thematic sense to allow scum to forgo infection to kill someone of their choice. Though I think I want to make it X-Shot--probably 2 shot.
And alright, I'll keep recovery secret.

Also I'm going to need a backup mod? Would you be willing? The game won't enter signups until late April or early May, and I don't plan on flaking or anything like that. You may have to step in if I end up with an emergency VLA or something but that should only happen like once if at all.

I have read through
I love this mechanic and idea but I'm a little confused
So infected people join scum basically, but they recover from the disease after a few days? But they don't revert to town?
The mafia possess a factional infection which stays constant throughout the game. That said, infected players must also attempt to spread the disease, so the overall infection rate should be increasing somewhat exponentially.

Ok
My one qualm (which is not really a serious qualm) is the heavy amount of VTs in the game. You could probably add some more weakish PRs like neighbors and Messengers to spice it up a bit.
But if you want a pretty vanilla game this works.
I could make roles 6-14 all neighbors. (1 gigantic 9p neighborhood.)
Oh I could also add a reporter role that reports the number of new infections each day. Though it might be problematic if that person gets infected and stops reporting stuff.

Don't go too crazy with hoods lol. But I think one or two always make games more intriguing.
A reporter in that fashion might be wonky, like you noted. I was meaning a role that posts/sends anonymous messages. You could flavor it like a loudspeaker or something.
You could also do fruit vendors maybe?
Also a Vig type role maybe? Large themes tend to need the extra kills to move them along.
