From what I can tell of this discussion (and I may be wrong), it seems that you both think massclaiming isn't necessarily optimal here. The difference is that Hoops wants to prevent it from Game 1, while CES seems to think that letting it organically grow into the meta for this particular setup is the way to go.

I think Hoops' method is the better one in this case, for the record.

I think that the SK should be 1-shot bulletproof. That way, he still cares about the vig-switch, while balancing him out a bit.

Additionally, I think limiting him to a maximum of 3 actions per night (all 3 switches and no kill, 2 switches and a kill, or any combination of fewer switches+kill) could be a good idea. Not sure how that works out, balance wise.

No, that would make 2:11 really shitty to play. If the ideal strategy for a game is to not play the game, then your game sucks.

The wiki is publicly editable by any user of the site, except for specific pages. Unapproved setups get their own pages fairly regularly.
