A.Since they are based off of normal doctors if they protect someone successfully they will be notified. Otherwise they won't get a PM.

CPR, Janitor and Comp Vig are the ones that we don't want mafia to get I think.

Information is Beautiful

Introductory Notes + Show Spoiler +
1. There are 21 roles, and 21 People. Of these roles. Only three are completely ainti-town. The Godfather, the Traitor, and the Janitor (To a degree).
2. There are two doctors. So even if the mafia knows where two of the most powerful roles are (JOAT, Bullet Bill). It shouldn’t be a problem as we can protect them every single time.
3. The mafia only has 1 kp. So at best, they can only take out one good role a night

Taking these two points in mind, I’m coming up with the Information is Beautiful plan. The goal of the plan is to give almost everyone a role so that there will be soo many blues that the mafia can't do anything about it.


The plan in a nutshell.
We will create a list of roles. For example
1. CPR Doc
2. Comp Vig
3. Janitor.

Lets say the draft turns out to be
1. LSB
2. Deconduo
3. Kenpachi

LSB would draft the CPR Doc role
Deconduo would draft the Comp Vig role
Kenpachi would draft the Janitor role


We do this for 20 roles.
The last person will randomly chose a role. Because picking traitor would be dumb.

Step one: Number Picking Phase
We want the number picking phase to be as random as possible. So please. No one declare what number they will be picking. This will make it hard for the mafia to predict what spot they will take.

We will put together a list of what spot will take which role. This way the mafia won’t be able to pick which role they are forced to take.

Step two: Role Drafting Phase
Everyone will draft the role they will suppose to be drafting.

Step three: Resolve Disputes
Lets say the person who was suppose to pick JOAT didn’t get his role. We can start sending Role Cops and Bullet Bills to figure out who took the JOAT role.

Considerations
Information
The mafia would know where every single role would be. This means that our alignment cops are pretty vulnerable.
But remember, the town would know where every single role. This opens up lots and lots of possibilities.
DTs immediately telling results. Doctors claiming who they are going to protect before they do, so if they actually are weak doctors, we got a 100% mafia.
Town will also get up to three KP. 1 Lynch KP. 1 CPR Doc. 1 Comp Vig. The town KP will severely outnumber the mafia KP.

Serial Killer
There is a key fact about the SK we can exploit.
The SK is bulletproof. That means that whenever one of the town hits doesn't go off and is blocked, that person is the SK.
Once is an accident. Twice is coincidence. Three times is an enemy action. Bus Driver can never target themselves I'm sorry

Overview of the roles.

Alignment Cop- Although the Alignment Cop might not be correct, all we have to do is have the cop claim all their checks. Once the cop dies, we will be able to know their sanity

Role Cop- This is amazing. Its an easy way to track any missteps in the plan to see if someone didn't go with it

Doctor- Night one the doctors should declare who they are protecting. This way if a doctor is a weak doctor and they die, we know what happened.

Bulletproof- Very good. But kindof useless

Mason- Easily vertifiable. Just have their mason buddy claim.

Day Vig- Easily Vertifiable

Compulsive Vigilante- Very dangerous. We should have this as our #2 pick

JOAT- Doctors, Vig, 100% Cop. Amazing. (#4 Pick)

Veteran- Good, but kindof useless

God Father- It is a mafia role, but we should still assign it to see if a mafia picked it up. It should be the last pick (#20)

Role blocker- This can be used to stop the Comp Vig from shooting anyone. Also it's dangerous in Mafia hands

Copy Cat- This can be a mafia role. (Day vig shoots the CPR Doc, the copy cat them becomes the CPR doc). But once we know every singe role, we know who the Copy Cat it. It's kindof useless, and should be close to the last pick (#19)

Pardoner- They can prove their role easily

Bullet Bill- Amazing DT. Can figure out the SK and Mafia Easily. #5 Pick

Traitor- Don't pick this.

Prince of Darkness- Remember, the town will have lots and lots of night actions. The mafia only has 1 KP a night, so this might not be a bad idea. However, this should only be used if we know that it's a good idea

Politican

Janitor- Dangerous little role. We should try to pick up this role fast. Remember, the mafia knows the alignment of everyone, so the Janitor can only help them. (#3 pick)

CPR Doc- Dangerous. We should think of it as a vigilante. We got to get it into town hands. It has to be #1 pick

Hider

So has this game started now? Do we send in our draft numbers? I assumed yes o_O but I thought we would get our alignments before our draft numbers.

But we know where the Hider/Bulletproof/Vet is, since the plan is, once we know everyone's role, things will be a lot easier.

For example, if we target the Pardoner to get killed. And for some reason he lives, although the doctors swear they didn't protect him. The Pardoner is probably the SK (either that or one of the doctors is lying)

A perfect plan is more important than winning.

The order happens like this

1. Receive Alignment
2. Send in numbers
3. Receive draft placement and pick your role.

Yes. Read past games to get a hang of how things work.

What about the fact that the medics identities will be public too? Couldn't they be picked off day one?

Town has to worry about 2 kp because the SK will likely be sniping good roles as well. It is unlikely that any of these kills will be blocked if the veteran, bulletproof, hider are all public and the medics are sitting ducks.

Would it be better for the anti-town roles to be predetermined so the town has some control over them, while the pro-town roles remain hidden? That would result in some overlap in role selection, however important roles like bullet bill and alignment cop won't be taken out so easily.




I'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt. I mean not that fancy store bought dirt. That stuffs loaded with nutrients. I... I can't compete with that stuff.
