Anyone who fails to follow my plan is scum. This is completely pro-town, I swear. He's not assigning 1-25 though, more like 1-9, all roles which are arguably anti-town. There are still problems with this though. There's no way to tell if those people actually choose the roles or not, until the abilities are used. Also, this leaves other power roles open for mafia, because beyond a few of the roles, most of them are useless to town, and picking them only serves to deny them to mafia. So while they're all useful for mafia, they're useless to town, so it depends on if their denial outweighs the selection of other, more useful, roles. | ||

Chuiu Jack Caller Veteran Mafia 4 Veteran Medic Doctor Bullet Proof Bodyguard Bus Driver- Arguably, this can be used as a strong protective role for town. If the identity/role of a strong town player becomes known, the bus driver can bus them away from danger. As well, if for whatever reason the identity of the bulletproof player becomes known, the bus driver can bus them around with pro-town players and effectively become a medic. Also, if we are going to go ahead with any kind of plan which sets certain roles to certain queue positions, they must be solidified before the queue is known. So, if you say: "These five roles go to the first five", you better be giving them a specific order before we have the player-order. This will stop mafia from trying to salvage the roles in any way by asking for certain roles for certain queue positions. I'm not entirely sure at the moment whether assigning roles is good or not, but if you are proposing role-assignments like that, anyone trying to arrange the order after the queue is known will look very suspicious to me, at least. | ||

The thing I'm worried about, is finding a way to prevent role-overlap. It's better for us if mafia overlap, but it's easier for town to overlap. Right now, I'm drawing a blank on ways to prevent town overlap besides complete role-assignment, which I don't think is a good idea. So, if anyone else has ideas for minimizing town overlap, it would be nice if you shared. | ||

If your role was taken, just use that to try to determine for yourself, who has what role. This will help if at some point that person is forced to role-claim. Say, you tried to take vigilante, and the role was taken already. Then you know the person who is the vigilante is above you in the list. If someone below you tries to claim it, they are lying, or are the thief, which is still anti-town. If someone above you claims the role, it becomes much more likely the fewer people there are above you in the list. So, just keep this information to yourself, and to make better sense of claims when they come. (Though I think fake-claims will be rare, or hard to pull off, given the large number of roles and impossibility of duplicates) | ||
