[SETUP] Clashing Colors

I've been toying around with the idea of having multiple uninformed majorities while still having a game that is recognizably Mafia, and this is what I've got. Not yet fully fleshed out, in particular I'm not sure what PRs would be appropriate.

Clashing Colors
Roles

1x
Blue
Mafia Goon

1x
Green
Mafia Goon

1x
Town [Investigative]

1x
Town [Protective]

4x
Blue Vanilla Townie

4x
Green Vanilla Townie


(The two town PRs are assigned opposite colors.)

Rules
  • Plurality lynch.
  • All colors are public information.
  • Mafia win in the usual way.
  • Blue Town wins when the Mafia are eliminated and the Blues outnumber the Greens.
  • Green Town wins when the Mafia are eliminated and the Greens outnumber the Blues.
  • If the Mafia are eliminated and there are equally many Greens and Blues, those factions draw.

Wait, just realized a serious problem with this: catching one (w.o.l.o.g.) blue goon means every lynch is going to be of a greeny from that point on.

Maybe better if the colors are just randomized altogether? Though that could lead to setups that are unfair for one color.

My intention was that a blue cop would get a guilty either way, but I haven't nailed down the PRs so who knows?

Another thought, could have more Mafia but make it nightless, so that nightkills won't determine the winner, just politics.

Here's a question I should know the answer to: as town, is having more scum of your color an advantage or a disadvantage (if this information isn't public)?
