[SETUP] 4 Faction's Gridlock

[Jake The Wolfie]

This was adapted from TemporalLich's Two-Sided NewD3

4 Faction's Gridlock

One row and one column are selected at random from the Mafia table to generate 1 Mafia role and 2 Anti-Mafia roles.

	A	B	C
Mafia	Mafia Disruptor	Mafia Scout	Mafia Goon
1	Cop, Doctor	Tracker, Friendly Neighbor	Cop, Vanilla
2	Jailkeeper, Tracker	Jailkeeper, Friendly Neighbor	Jailkeeper, Vanilla
3	Mason, Mason	Tracker, Doctor	Mason, Mason

Repeat this process on the Werewolf table to generate 1 Werewolf role and 2 Anti-Werewolf roles.

	A	B	C
Werewolf	Werewolf Disruptor	Werewolf Scout	Werewolf
1	Seer, Guardian	Wolfstalker, Hermit	Seer, Vanilla
2	Wizard, Wolfstalker	Wizard, Hermit	Wizard, Vanilla
3	Monk, Monk	Wolfstalker, Guardian	Monk, Monk

Repeat this process on the Cult table to generate 1 Cult role and 2 Anti-Cult roles.

	A	B	C
Cult	Cult Disruptor	Cult Scout	Cultist
1	Private Investigator, Paladin	Inquisitor, Athiest	Private Investigator, Vanilla
2	Con Artist, Inquisitor	Con Artist, Athiest	Con Artist, Vanilla
3	Nurse, Nurse	Inquisitor, Paladin	Nurse, Nurse

Repeat this process on the Alien table to generate 1 Alien role and 2 Anti-Alien roles.
Note: Roll a second separate column for a second Alien role only.

	A	B	C
Alien	Alien Disruptor	Alien Scout	Alien Redirector
1	Conspiracy Theorist, Vanilla	Paranormal Investigator, Regular Cow	Conspiracy Theorist, Vanilla
2	Mad Scientist, Paranormal Investigator	Mad Scientist, Regular Cow	Mad Scientist, Vanilla
3	Sentient Cow, Sentient Cow	Paranormal Investigator, Vanilla	Sentient Cow, Sentient Cow

Populate the rest of the player slots with 1 Mafioso, 1 Werewolf, 1 Cult Leader, 1 Alien Goon, and 20 Townies. You should end up with a 29 player setup.

After rolling for the setup used but before randing, you will need to roll four 4 sided dice (d4). If the first die lands 1, both Anti-Mafia roles are given to town, if the first die lands 2, one random Anti-Mafia role (a d2) is given to the Werewolf added to round out the setup. Follow this pattern for all other values. If the second die lands 1, both Anti-Werewolf roles are given to town, if the second die lands 2, one random Anti-Werewolf role (a d2) is given to the Mafioso added to round out the setup. Follow this pattern for all other values and for all other dice.

There should be

47,254,081

possible setups [!!!!].

All scumteams have multitasking and daytalk.

The Cult Leader can only convert town, they have a cooldown of 1 day, and a maximum cult size of 4.
Converted players retain their Non-Anti-Cult abilities.

The Aliens have only 2 nightkills.

The Alien Redirector gets to redirect the night action of any player to any other player for a night.

Disruptor roleblocks only Town.

Scout gets role, but gets No Result on Vanilla Townies or non-town.

Cops/Seers/Private Investigators/Conspiracy Theorists get results in the form of [Mafia/Werewolf/Cult/Alien]/Not [Mafia/Werewolf/Cult/Alien] respectively.

Doctor protects from the Mafia factional kill, Guardian protects from the Werewolf factional kill, Paladin protects from the factional convert.

Tracker/Wolfstalker/Inquisitor/Paranormal Investigator sees who a player targeted, but can't see the factional kill/convert of other factions. [Ex: Wolfstalker can't see the Aliens kill]

Jailkeeper/Wizard/Con Artist/Mad Scientist roleblocks their respective anti-faction and Town and protects from the faction ability of their anti-faction. [Anti-Faction here means whatever their role is supposed to be countering.]

Friendly Neighbor/Hermit/Athiest/Regular Cow informs their target that they are not their respective anti-faction.

Masons/Monks/Nurses/Sentient Cows share a PT with daytalk and know that they are not members of their anti-faction.

Disruptors act before Jailkeepers/Wizards/Con Artists/Mad Scientists.

In the event a Jailkeeper/Wizard/Con Artist/Mad Scientist targets one of the others, they are not protected.

[TemporalLich]

a quad-multiball NewD3?! I'm surprised this is possible

[Jake The Wolfie]

I would have put in the Alternate Mafia, but I was running low on creativity and sanity around The Cows.

[Awoo]

how do the endgames play out? what are the wincons?

[Ircher]

I would play this. This looks fun!

[Awoo]

Does the max cult size include dead cultists?

[Jake The Wolfie]

how do the endgames play out? what are the wincons?

Town wins when all scum players are dead.
Mafia/Werewolves/Cult/Aliens wins when all other factions are dead with them having the last member alive.

Caveat: Aliens will always win ties, and Cult will always lose ties.

Does the max cult size include dead cultists?

No. This is made up by the fact that they can only convert on every other night.

[Awoo]

If the d4 rolls cult, is the power given to the cult leader?

And if those town roles are given away, then you need to add more VT's to replace them.

It's a very interesting setup and would be fun to see run but I have many questions... ~_~

[Jake The Wolfie]

If the d4 rolls cult, is the power given to the cult leader?

It is given to a random cult member

And if those town roles are given away, then you need to add more VT's to replace them.

More VTs yes, more players no.

[Gypyx]

what does scout do?

also, the only possible step after this setup is to make another one with a Sk and a Replicant grid

[Gypyx]

(oh uh forget the scout question)

[Kerset]

It is tough to be a powerrole , which is able to detect 2/29 people. On the other hand there are ~8 named townies. As far as I see mason can't be a werewolf or alien, so every named townie has to be counterclaimed or becomes IC.
Cult got huge advantage, compared to every other fraction, which are going to struggle under roleclaim elimination.

The power roles get given to scum a lot. Read this:

After rolling for the setup used but before randing, you will need to roll four 4 sided dice (d4). If the first die lands 1, both Anti-Mafia roles are given to town, if the first die lands 2, one random Anti-Mafia role (a d2) is given to the Werewolf added to round out the setup. Follow this pattern for all other values. If the second die lands 1, both Anti-Werewolf roles are given to town, if the second die lands 2, one random Anti-Werewolf role (a d2) is given to the Mafioso added to round out the setup. Follow this pattern for all other values and for all other dice.

(the OP could really use a lot of cleanup considering the number of questions we are all asking)

[Gamma Emerald]

I think I’d rather have this be just standard killing factions
Also, what’s the full list of possible role PMs?

[T-Bone]

I am interested in this product and/or service for the open queue.

[callforjudgement]

This setup has basically no town agency. In order for town to win, they need the anti-town factions to focus largely on each other and end up winning due to the crossfire (which is a fairly unsatisfactory way to win as town), and they have very little influence over whether that happens or not. (I'm not even sure which faction town are looking to eliminate; there may even be gamestates in which the correct move is to no-eliminate in order to give the scum more time to kill each other, and the best strategy for individual townies may well be aiming to get culted.)

[Cook]

I would have put in the Alternate Mafia, but I was running low on creativity and sanity around The Cows.

Call them "truthers" and "celebrities" for the Mason-type and FN-type, respectively, if you're feeling insane.

You can also change the name of Paranormal Investigator to the Anthropologist if you feel like it.

Can Atheists get converted?

[Cook]

also, the only possible step after this setup is to make another one with a Sk and a Replicant grid

I'm gonna do it.

[Gypyx]

oh god oh fuck

[Cook]

Just need to know if Replicants have any special mechanics

[Gypyx]

it's another alien faction

[Cook]

Limited nightkills as per usual?

Is it a Blade Runner reference?

[Gypyx]

yes

and probably, idk

[Gypyx]

interested in running this in the near future, maybe with some modifications (more odds of town getting the PRs, cult nerf maaaybe Alien Buff (1-shot Factional Bulletproof could be interesting)

[T3]

interesting
take away cult and aliens, replace it with another kiling faction
