The Newbie Matrix6 stats thread (complete)

[Quilford]

Just bumping this so that everyone is aware of nuu data

[Quilford]

These are really interesting stats. You're doing God's work here.

[Quilford]

Playing around with the current Newbie setup:

Vanilla Townie	Mafia Goon	Vanilla Townie
Town Cop		Town Jailkeeper
Town Doctor	Mafia Roleblocker	Town Tracker

Pick any corner and then add the roles in the adjacent cells, one Mafia Goon and five VTs.

Preserves the three most balanced setups from Matrix6 (JK; Cop; Cop, Doc, RB) and gives Town a better PR for the setup which they lose more frequently in Matrix6 (JK, BP, RB becomes JK, Tracker, RB). Downside(?) is 4 setups instead of 6.

[Quilford]

Or if you were willing to trade a more convoluted formulation for more setups:

Vanilla Townie	Mafia Goon	Vanilla Townie
Town Cop	Town 1-Shot BP*	Town Jailkeeper
Town Doctor	Mafia Roleblocker	Town Tracker

*or any other weak Town PR

Pick either long diagonal. Then pick the three roles either: along the diagonal, above the diagonal, or below the diagonal and add VTs and Goons for 2:7.

Can also be reformulated as

		Vanilla Townie
	Town Cop		Mafia Goon
Town Doctor		Town 1-Shot BP		Vanilla Townie
	Mafia Roleblocker		Town Jailkeeper
		Town Tracker

Pick the three roles in either the two top rows, the two bottom rows, the two leftmost columns, the two rightmost columns, the single central row or the single central column and add VTs and Goons for 2:7.

Not sure if that particularly helps tho.

[Quilford]

Well, I've just realised it's unnecessarily complicated anyway: it's equivalent to the following Matrix6 table:

Town Cop	Vanilla Townie	Mafia Goon
Town Doctor	Town 1-Shot BP	Vanilla Townie
Mafia Roleblocker	Town Tracker	Town Jailkeeper

[Quilford]

The BP is too weak in that formulation though and should be swapped out with a stronger role. But there's no shortage of candidates.

[Quilford]

Or you could do away with it entirely and restrict the choices to either of two columns or rows, which produces the first setup I came up with tonight. Heh. Yay for accidentally making things needlessly complicated.

[Quilford]

I have no dog in the daytalk fight, I'm just trying to modify Matrix6 so that all its subsetups are as close to 50% winrate as possible, and also maybe to freshen things up for players and mods >300 games in.

[Quilford]

Just to summarise, my proposal is that we change the current Matrix6 role table with this one:

Town Cop	Vanilla Townie	Mafia Goon
Town Doctor	Town Roleblocker	Vanilla Townie
Mafia Roleblocker	Town Tracker	Town Jailkeeper

- preserves JK setup (current Town winrate 50.9%)
- preserves Cop setup (winrate 47.9%)
- preserves RB, Cop, Doc setup (55.8%)
- keeps the power balance mostly the same / potentially slightly increases Town's power by swapping Roleblocker in for Tracker in Doc, Tracker setup (43.8%)
- gives Town more power by swapping Tracker in for BP in JK, RB, BP setup (38.6%)
- gives Town more power by swapping Roleblocker in for BP in BP, Tracker setup (38.0%)
