basically i just wanted to play around with the idea of 3 town pairs (or 2.5 town pairs) where there's a slight obscurity to the role PMs. idk how it would work out in practice but hey gotta find something besides sleeping to kill time at 4 in the morning. also not sure about encryptor, or town-scum ratio??

gosh this is such a weird idea i d e k if open setup stuff yeah.

Ignore this post, setup already made.

Kids With Guns - Design Challenge Winner, by

Aronis

1 Mafia Goon
1 Mafia Suicide Bomber
1 Innocent Child
1 One-shot Vig
4 Vanilla Town

^This setup is really good. Tested it face to face a bunch this week.

yeah, i love running this one in chatmafia.

for a 9p variant I recommend adding a VT and making the vig weak. not absolutely balanced, but works in f2f/chat decently well
