In post 8, Jingle wrote:Do dead players show up in the parole list? Say someone is made a parolee and shot by the vig at the same time, are they then put on the parole list?

Additionally, say Player A is targeted by the town parole officer and performs the kill in the same nightphase. Does the player show up as guilty?
i'd say that for the sake of clarity and going off of the logic of the premise, dead players probably would be removed from the list. so someone placed on parole and killed in the same night would simply never show up on the list.

parole officers' actions resolve after kills, so no, there would be no notification that someone had violated parole.

In post 12, BNL wrote:Wait, resolving after any kills are made? Does this mean the list is useless until all scum are on Parole?
Hm.

Given that scum will (in most cases) send someone not on parole to do the nightkill, it limits the pool for the tracker to target, increasing the chances of tracking someone to the nightkill. I also intended it such that mafia could not perform an action and kill at the same time, meaning that the mafia goon being placed on parole means one of the other mafia power rules must not act during the night.

That being said, your asking that has made me wonder if it would be something that actually ever happened. Ideally — unless town does something like lynch scum three days in a row — the parole notice would be raised at least once during each game.

I think I might change it so that being put on parole resolves before kills.
In post 13, Irrelephant11 wrote:@city council, why not just immediately kill the council? Surely the 50% scum death rate is worth it?
I think the optimal strategy there is to always lynch from within the council, yeah.

i thought it would be a bit more interesting at 12 people but for some reason i keep forgetting that reducing VTs makes setups more scumsided

i don't know if i'd call lynching within the city councillors a "breaking strategy", it's just the optimal strategy

that version seems heavily scumsided to me

can you elaborate on this?

i think a major strength for town is the ability to sequester away a few locktown. that messes up scum's normal nightkills which usually tends to raise in-practice EV

just updating

Tough on Crime

14 players:

1 Mafia Parole Officer

1 Mafia Jailkeeper

1 Mafia Goon

1 Town Parole Officer

1 Town Vigilante

1 Town Tracker

  • Each day, in addition to voting for a lynch, the town may vote to place someone "on parole".
    • The list of players who are on parole is always public.
    • Parole does not expire.
    • If a player who is on parole commits a kill during the night, it will be made publicly known that someone violated parole, but not exactly whom.
  • Parole officers may target someone during the night to place them on parole, resolving
    before
    any kills are made. Thus, if anyone commits a kill the same night they are targeted to be placed on parole, the parole notice will be raised. The updated list is made public at the start of each day.
  • A Mafia member may not perform an action and perform the nightkill in the same night.
