[SETUP] The Council

[Kanna]

Spoiler: Old

The Council

7 Town

2 Mafia

Every day, players vote with heal tags for 3 people to become The Council. These 3 people are put into a PT that lasts for the remainder of the day. Eliminations occur as normal.

Before the day ends, The Council must come to a consensus on how to distribute power roles for that night. One investigative and one protective may be chosen. The list is as follows:

• Investigative: Neapolitan, Tracker, Watcher
  
• Protective: Doctor, Bodyguard, Hider

Additionally, each role is attached to a player, which the moderator randomly assigns. If chosen, that player is granted that power role for

one night

. It is possible for the same player to be attached to multiple roles, but it is not possible to give one player more than one role. The choice is given as [Choose one to grant: X is a Neapolitan / Y is a Tracker / Z is a Watcher].

After the roles are chosen, they are removed from the list and not allowed to be chosen again. Mafia can also remove one unchosen role during the night.

Mafia have a factional roleblock and a kill.

Town win when both mafia are eliminated. Mafia win when they achieve parity.

The Council v2

7 Vanilla Townies

2 Mafia Goons

• Every day, players use HEAL: tags to propose a
  Council
  of 3 people. Proposals can be changed freely, but a decision is locked in when the majority of players propose the same combination of 3 people. Should there be no council decided before an elimination is hammered, there will be no council.
  
• Council members are made elimination-proof for the day and put into a PT the following night. During the night, they vote in their PT to
  track
  one person and
  protect
  one person. These function as tracker and doctor actions performed by the group.
  
• There are no restrictions for these actions; they can be used on anyone in the playerlist, and both can be used on the same person.
  
• When day starts, council members receive the results of the track.
  
• The setup becomes vanilla on Day 4.

Town win when both mafia are eliminated. Mafia win when they achieve parity.

fair enough, how do you think it can be improved? weaker power roles? cop might be too much actually; that'd always chosen D1 and gives an IC by D2... changed that to Neopolitan

as for an all-town council, i was hoping it sounds better on paper than it works in practice, since, as scum, my first reaction would be to rb/kill council members because there'd be a good chance they shared the prs between themselves.

thanks for the feedback! err... it probably is just as townsided as it looks then. in that case, would changing scum:town to 3:6 be good? or is it too much? a townblock PT could also be ++town for dayplay reasons too now that i think about it.

i like that idea and have changed the OP! i can definitely see mandatory setup talk, and it's understandable some people won't enjoy that. this correction makes people play the setup more as it's intended, i think.

i tried to fix this again !

the different power roles probably made it unnecessarily convoluted so i changed it to a tracker/doctor action. public copping would be interesting, but i don't think being able to peek at that is especially helpful to mafia. peeking at tracker/doctor actions should be helpful though?
