[SETUP] Vengescum with Innocent Children

From the EV thread.

M Mafia
M Vanilla Town
M Innocent Children

EV = 50%

I quite like the symmetry of this one. There are always equal numbers of Mafia and Innocent Children, and the Town needs the same number of correct lynches as the the Mafia need mislynches. It also mitigates the "focal point" issue of the single IC Nightless setup, despite having the same EV.

I don't disagree. M:M:M-1 is a reasonable compromise for actual play (or M-2 for larger setups, perhaps).

(To counter your obvtown point somewhat, scum that looks obvtown would have an equal and opposite effect. There would be a lot of "will they bus" WIFOM in this one for generating info. In my run of Target Practice, scum won in part because the should-have-been-obvtown actually looked like he knew too much instead and didn't get that obvtown credit from the target.)
