In post 28, momo wrote:maybe a one-shot or two-shot doctor.

just my 2 cents but what do yall think...
Not a bad idea I guess, but that's basically just column C but less town sided.
edit
So basically this is what that would look like:

JK
VT
Goon
RB
Cop
Doc
OS/TS
Doc
Goon
Tracka
The mafia have the same powers in row 3 and in column C but row 3 has a weaker town.

I don't think making a stronger scum role would change this problem. My main issue with the strategy is that it can confirm a townie on the first page of the game, which I don't think is the best idea for a newbie setup as it takes out a very important factor of playing mafia. I say change the bulletproof to a universal backup. It fits well with the setup.
VOTE: BP->Universal Backup
JK
VT
Goon
RB
Cop
Doc
UB
Goon
Tracka

Early BP claiming is not unnecessary. It's optimal play.

Objectively, you probably want a BP/not BP claim around the middle of D1, and then a tracker claim (if no BP) sometime before the end of the day phase (but super late in the day is perfectly fine).

Alternatively, you could just have a site meta where people don't policy lynch the BP claims later in the game, and then suddenly there's much less utility to the claim strategy in the first place. But since that's not really on the table, instead we are discussing swapping the BP with some other role that has strong incentive not to claim d1, eliminating the issue wholesale.
Actually doing the BP or not BP claims in the middle of day after interactions have happened would not be a bad idea.

In post 86, drealmerz7 wrote:town BP should never claim town BP unless they are put to L-1 - just like any other claim, really
There have been multiple explanations from multiple people stating why an early BP claim is better than an early pther-PR claim(unless of course it's the tracker claim afterwards).
you want scum to not know who the BP is so they waste a shot on them, it's really basic
It's not the end of the world if scum gets to kill someone night 1. Plus, with scum needing to hit BP 2 times to kill them, it gives people a confTown that will be alive for at least day 2.
if any change could even be considered to the matrix6, I'd say add another mafiaRB to it in the 1C or 3B positions
I disagree. The setup's already more scumsided.

ways to change the setup
  • Universal Backup

    UB haz sweg
  • Matrix 5

    You may know what Matrix 5 is, but if you don't it's a setup designed by Creature that you can see here.
  • Strongman

    In post 14, mhsmith0 wrote:That does nothing to solve the problem of bp being incentivized to claim d1 since it's still potentially useful in a tracker/bp setup. It also makes cop/doc row even more townsided.
    No. Bp claims. Scum shoot bp, just like any other pr.
    I think this isn't a bad way to stop BP claims(50% chance of death on following night). The goon in between tracker and BP could be changed to a strongman instead if people don't like the roleblocker->strongman idea.
  • Universal Backup + Mafia Encryptor
    In post 41, Accountant wrote:Just throwing something out there - Mafia Encryptor? I enjoyed the daytalk experiment.
    In post 43, Accountant wrote:No it doesn't. It's a game changer, sure, but the point of this thread is to change the setup.

    It doesn't add any complexity at all. Why the hell would a newbie fid the concept of day talk confusing? They already can grasp night talk, just extend it to day.
    In post 53, mhsmith0 wrote:In terms of helping scum (if you think A is now too strong for town, especially since row 2: cop/doc/rb is the biggest town win rate), it MIGHT be ok to consider turning the roleblocker into a roleblocker/encryptor. OTOH, town win rates in cop/doc/rb are already under 60%, and I'd be pretty surprised if they cleared 60% in JK/UB/rb, so I'm kind of thinking that daytalk for scum is a solution in search of a problem.
    Giving one of the scumslots an encryptor power alone wouldn't help the BP claiming strategy, but I'm mostly thinking if UB matrix 6 were too townsided then they could add in an encryptor.
  • Friendly Neighbor
In post 75, Ircher wrote:Also, what about Friendly Neighbor?
I don't think friendly neighbor is a bad role. It's just not really my type. I'd be fine if they change BP to FN but I prefer the other ideas listed in this post.

But then tracker doesn't get any results. Scum can just kill tracker so that:
  • If JK doesn't target tracker, tracker dies
  • If JK targets tracker, tracker gets no report.

What about:
Column AColumn BColumn C
Row 1
Town Cop
Vanilla Townie
Town Doctor
Mafia Roleblocker
Row 2
Vanilla Townie
Town Jailkeeper
Town Tracker
Mafia Roleblocker
Mafia Goon
Mafia Goon
Mafia Strongman

It's a dumb idea for tracker to claim in this situation.
EDIT: I fixed row 1

You use one of the labeled rows/columns(not the un-labeled ones that are just mafia roles).

Strongmen can be stopped by roleblocks right?
If not then I guess yeah they'd have to be 1 shot.

Guys thoughts on: Not doing BP strategy early D1 but maybe late D1 as some scumhunting can happen then maybe? Like I want to join a newbie as IC so like... yeah.
But then the BP would be less believable when they claim. What if the scumteam was 2 goons and they suspected someone of being the jailkeeper? Then they could claim 1 shot BP.
