Isn't that how it's normally played though? You can't really have counter-claims without knowing how many of each role there are. You can have 1/2 the people claim infested terran without knowing how many there are supposed to be, you don't know if any are lying or not. They could all be telling the truth :/

The whole "let's not reveal how many of each role" is a rather recent thing on TL. Although I'm probably in a very small minority when I say I don't like it and think that role count should be revealed.
I'd have to agree.

depends on a combination of things. Open/Semi-open/Closed setups aren't strictly good or bad depending on what roles are hidden and what other mechanics there are in the game.
ETA: No counter-claims aren't that bad ^_^

There is a reason it has started happening. It was put in place to stop roleclaiming day 1 in bigger games. Specifically, there was a game I hosted where dreamflower was the only vigilante. She could come out and roleclaim and was basically 100% innocent because nobody else countermanded her statement. This is still a factor in games with more than 1 of the role because roles are revealed upon death, but it is diminished. With hidden role counts, people have to actually play their roles instead of just coming out and saying "I'm the last X. Therefore, I'm innocent." I just don't think people should be claiming day 1.

I sort of want it to be an open setup

It's mafia's fault for not coming out to counterclaim that stuff. I guess role revealing upon death is a factor in this as well like you stated. But I'd rather have role count publicized and roles not revealed upon death.
Even with role count hidden, a big portion of every game is "hey let's think about what a balanced setup would be and try to figure out how many of each role there are...". That's not what mafia should be about.

Sacrificing 1 blue to find 1 red immediately. That's a really good trade in my book.

You just stated a big problem with TL mafia game setups right there.

I am going to reveal what roles are in the game. The day starts in under 22 minutes from this post, at 9pm EST (10 KST) and goes for 48 hour days and 24 hour nights. Role PMs have all been sent out.

I guess I can handle what you have up there right now. I still don't like it, but at least people can't roleclaim day 1 and either prove themselves innocent or give the town 50/50 odds of mafia.

Is there a Day post BM or does day just auto start?
