It's not obvious to me in the current setup why roses have specific days at all.

I think either the roses need an additional side-effect, or else to not be night-specific.

The current setup is effectively "town can choose at the start of the game to be a night-n vigilante or a VT; scum win by killing all the VTs". The core mechanic of "power roles don't count towards the town's wincon" is interesting. Getting a working setup built around that can be hard, though.

Oh, and I just realised a trivial way to stop town all picking N1 or whatever: don't reveal gun holders and rose holders, and let scum choose a night on which to be bulletproof. Town probably won't all pick N1 in case scum do.

That's probably a good idea for the same reason that people dislike no-reveal games.

I like it. It'll be hard to know where the balance lies, because there's so much WIFOM involved, but the core mechanic seems correct now.
