Oops All Vigilantes (a majority mafia game) take 2 [Night 1]

I have not been able to get this game out of my head really, and I think its because the concept of over-stuffing games with baddies has always sort of appealed to me, and I've always been interested in non-traditional balance methods to combat the higher scum numbers. Cats v Dogs was one such attempt based on the pirates vs ninjas setup from over a decade ago, where the idea is that scum crosskills create an incentive for scum hunting among the multiball factions and you can balance numbers with different elements of revealing what exists in the closed setup. I wanted to take a crack at applying that premise to this game.

I kinda think there were two fundamental problems with the way the setup was run.

1) The day play was entirely irrelevant. Town could never get an elimination on scum in a meaningful way and therefore nothing that was happening during the day mattered, the whole game boiled down to a mini game that happened entirely night one.

2) The scum just had too easy a win condition. Everything would have to go extremely right for town to end up in a position where they could actually have a chance of winning the game, and realistically the outcome of what happened in the first attempt is just going to happen the vast majority of the time.

I think multiball actually addresses both of these problems pretty concretely, so I am going to attempt to run the setup with that premise instead. I've also added one more townie and slightly changed the rules on how scum can predict town shots as well to prevent the actual worst case from happening. This of course introduces tons of other problems in the setup and I am pretty sure the game will still be incredibly stupid. But it will be stupid in a different way! And at the end of the day isn't that what its all about?

god help us all pt 2

oops all vigilantesthe setup:
7 town 2-shot vigilantes

4 vanilla mafia

4 vanilla werewolves
  • 72 hour days, 24 hour nights, 24 hour prods
  • day voting is majority, as normal
  • the mafia and werewolves have a factional nightkill
  • each night, each scum faction can make one guess at who is shooting whom. if they're correct,
    that townie's vigilante shot will backfire, and they will die instead. This guess does not work for the other scum teams factional kill.

  • all deaths flip identically - it will not be publicly revealed who was shot by mafia, werewolf, vig, or backfire
