Take Your Chances

2 Mafia Goons
7 Probabilistic JOATs

A Probabilistic JOAT can take any of the following actions, but they succeed only with a probability:
Cop, Watcher, Vig: 10%
Tracker, Roleblocker: 20%
Jailkeeper, Hider: 25%
Doctor: 30%
Bodyguard: 40%

Any comments on that one?

i like it, although I can't help but feel like hider is definitely the optimal play here.
investigates people AND causes NK immunity for the hider? hell yeah

if he fails, means scum was guaranteed blocked that night.

Baby Genius (9p)

Mafia Goon x2 (Factional Rolecop, can be used every night in addition to the kill)
Babysitter (protects from nightkill unless the babysitter would die that night, in which case the babysitter kills the player it's targeting instead)
Cop
VT x5

I wanted to make a basic setup centered around the babysitter role, and this is what came to mind. Babysitter plays around with interesting WIFOM wondering when they will be killed, scum has interesting WIFOM around when to kill the babysitter. Seems a little town sided (cop claims Day 1 --> no lynch, result, no lynch, etc) until cop dies, but not allowing the town to no lynch doesn't seem very graceful, considering babysitter will put them on evens. I like the idea of a compulsive babysitter.

That said, the larger setups are more for FTF. I don't really expect many would want to play them on the forum (either it's over really quickly, or it takes forever!)

I actually would like to see a larger vanilla setup on the forums.

How so? I'd expect it would make people scumhunt more seriously since it's an instant win if they lynch scum on D1.

This was only brought up as a strategy after jingle talked about optimal scum strategy being spamming to inhibit discussion.
