We've had a lot of rules to encourage complexity and weird ways to think about Mafia in the past challenges. This month's challenge takes things in the opposite direction, though: how simple can a setup be whilst still being playable?
Feel free to submit your setups in this thread all through September (and to use it to discuss other people's submissions); when October comes, this thread will then be used to vote on which of the proposed setups is the best. If there's a clear winner, they'll be in charge of the requirements for October (unless they choose to delegate to someone else). Good luck, and have fun designing setups!

I'd been meaning to change the format as soon as I got a chance, but BNL did so first. It's more consistent to have all the challenges tagged the same way.

It's strong, but I don't think it's
that
strong. (Admittedly, last time I ran a Micro vig setup the vig was northsidegal, so town wrapped it up pretty quickly, but you can't rely on that happening every time.)

I consider "X Enabler" to be a role, not a modifier. The role isn't actually and cannot be an X, after all (and trying to write a role worded as though it's an X just doesn't work). So the Universal Backup version is legal.
I consider "Backup" to be a modifiier "you can't use your ability until an X has died", so that version isn't legal.

I think Miller Neighbourizer is a combination role. I'd meant to ban that but looking at my wording, it seems like I didn't, so it's fair game.

I suspect it's very townsided. Vig is a confirmable role, after all (and it doesn't really help with symmetry because scum can't plausibly fakeclaim it). Even though the town roles can interfere with each other, they probably won't.
