Whoa, and here I was thinking this was Townsided. In an earlier iteration I had N3+ Mason Jailkeeper and Backup Jailkeeper instead of the Doctors. How does the setup look that way?

[Plum]

I mean I could tone down the Rolecops. I legit thought this was Townsided that's part of why they're there. But let me think a bit.

[Plum]

Lol I have an older version in my notes which is

Macho Mason
Mason Night 3+ Jailkeeper
Backup Jailkeeper
VT*4

Mafia Encryptor
Mafia Neapolitan

The idea was same as above, have two Masons, one with a power they can't use until late game, but if you lose that mason, you get an ungated version of the power, and in this case it's Jailkeeper which is quite powerful, especially in late game scenarios. How does this look to you?

[Plum]

Yeah. I guess I was worried it was too powerful and retreated into the version I posted first with the Doctors. But are you saying it's too strong, or strong enough to work for balance depending on exactly what scum are given, power-wise?

[Plum]

The version with the Doctors?

[Plum]

Okay, just the first response was that it was pretty scumsided? And if it hinges on "do the Town believe a backup claim" I don't really want that to be the interesting thing about the setup per se, makes me feel like my setups trend really gimmicky. Idk now I'm thinking this setup idea would be better as a Mini with Jailkeepers or something?

[Plum]

Yeah, based on that I want to go in a different direction or scrap.

[Plum]

Hi, I'm really sorry I haven't been here, I've been overwhelmed IRL. I may ask Micc to put me on hold in the Micro Queue.

[Plum]

Lol Merry Christmas to you if you celebrate it but I'm observing Chanukah actually
