Thank you for pointing this out. I believed I added rule regarding this on OP but apparently not.

This setup will follow Deadline Lynch.

The only consolation for us is the mafia has 1 KP. Other than that I am not sure what to say. The mafia can claim anything and it's going to be hard to trust anyone without role descriptions. I am getting flashbacks from Ace's world war game with the annoying PGO discussions. This could be even more aggravating.

I assume there's at least going to be a DT and medic. Do we even have vigis? 7 people, 3 mafia, that's like two day/night cycles in worst case scenario?

I'm not worried about mafia fake claims ^_^.

Chaoser we have 10 townies and 3 scum. 7 townies vs 3 scum is like, uber ridiculous.

[Gossiper Townie]

You are Townie, and you have no special night abilities. However you have extreme desire to gossip away everything you know, and the presence of PR visiting you is so very exciting that you know it is a tale you must tell. If any blue role visits you during the night, at the following day post mod will state that "[player] has visited Gossiper Townie.

(Actually this is terrible example since I can see various ways this ability could be used to get ridiculous amount of clears, but you get the gist.)


There may also be several well-established anti-town or weakened roles like: Beloved Princess, (Unaware) Insane/Paranoid/Naive Doctor, and Miller.

In case of where the strategic penalty death via modkill occurs, I will give Mafia one additional KP per one deliberate modkill following night. That can actually be huge blow to the town. I don't expect truly unintentional penalty modkill to occur since all the penalties are fairly hard to intentionally break.

Also the problem with taking vote away argument is, let's say there is Mafia who says inability to do A is his penalty and Townie saying inability to B is his penalty. So town says "hey guys, break you penalties! If mod do something bad to you we know you are being genuine" followed up by "B lost his vote but A did not! A is confirmed lying scum gogogo". Thus, punishment lesser than mod-kill can make penalty breaking a excellent way to get clears. But if B ends up being killed, and mafia get one additional KP because of it, though the town has sure lynch the next day, such tactic no longer becomes beneficial to the town.

OK, so there may be a beloved princess (2 night cycles in a row if she is killed), a doctor of some sort and a miller. Ace thinks a vigi as well. Presumably a DT role? Plus some odd roles.

Looking at what we know town has almost no information at all. Not even what roles are in the game or a count. All we have is that there are 3 scum in the game. I know for sure though that the town has to have a Vigilante. Based on this I need everyone to chime in because of something pretty awesome.

We don't have to roleclaim, but it's in our best interests to publicly announce what our penalty is if we have one. I'll share how we'll go about this when more players start posting.

I think everyone but the mafia has a penalty:

all Townies (not mafia) will have specific penalties that either diminish strength of one's ability or simply anti-town. No post restriction bs though.

If all the townies have penalties but scum don't then we have to have some kind of overpowered roles. Either way this is pretty good news. I know scum have fake claims but I think we can figure this out.

I'm just really confused
I can't think of any plans that work. Is there a good game that I can read that's similar?

You just have to get the ball rolling. With most theme games with scarce information you gotta find a way to get something going. The game just started though so I wanna see how active we all are before I make a major move. I'm betting the town has to have an overpowered Vigilante or some other insane killing role. Based on the OP the town has "nerfed" powers whereas the scum obviously don't (as far as we know). Being that in a standard game scum start out with the advantage I'm of the idea that if the town has penalties there has to be a reason why. I'm leaning towards it being killing roles with a penalty that can be controlled ^_^

Actually after deliberation, I am changing it into deadline lynch setup. In initial setup LYLO occurred quite frequently, and I forgot using RNG to run test game doesn't put into account the ninja votes (Realized mafia has higher probability of forcing the mislynch in LYLO since they can work together). This hopefully will be my last intrusion into the game.

Maybe a safe penalty claim would be like "You are bulletproof, but only if sometime in your post you say the word 'penalty' " Something that can't really be checked
