[SETUP] Welcome to The Room!

[inspectorscout]

12 Townies

4 Mafia

Players are randomly divided into 4 rooms (neighborhoods) of 4 players each.

The game starts with 3

moving phases

, that last 7 days. In each phase, players have to vote to move someone from their room to another room. Each room has to send 1 player to another room. Each room may only send a player to a room they hadn't sent a player to before. This means that, after 3 moving phases, each room has 4 players yet again. Plurality vote applies. If multiple people have the same amount of votes on them at deadline, the player who first achieved the most votes in that tie will be sent to another room.

Then there is a

room lynch

. Everyone votes an entire room to be lynched. This phase lasts 14 days.

Then, the game advances to

night phase.

Mafia may kill townies, equal to the amount of other mafia members they lost in the previous phase.

After that, nightless lynch mechanics apply.

Basically, town should use the main thread to coordinate who sends who to what room, so they can lynch the scummiest room. I don't expect a high accuracy on that, but if it happens, the amount of kills changes, which should reduce swing.

Thoughts?

This seems like a larger version of Triplicate Mafia tbh

Well, triplicate doesn't lynch the whole room. It's also not certain there is scum in each room.

one of the tied players will be randomly

Stop. Just no. The method shall not be randomness.

First voted for it is!

If I calculate your last line, I find 15% which is admittedly still bad, but more doable with changes.
Would changing 1 maf to a townie change much?

[inspectorscout]

I thought so, though not by that much
Setup is now 12-4

So possibly mostly balanced?

Letting scum nightkill the members they lost +1 gives the following (I used realo's numbers for this)

8.13+16.1+10.85+1.95=37%

which is maybe fine, but maybe just a bit too scumsided again.

Another, admittedly less elegant, solution would be to give scum a 1-shot dayvig to be used at any time during the nightless lynches, except for lylo.
