They become night 1 cops (assuming there are still 2 of them there)
Also with 2 listed there, what would happen if they both targeted the same person?

A pretty basic Mountainous/Vanilla variation. The townies are each able to vote for someone to be protected from the scum's nightkill. The top 3 votegetters night 1, top 2 night 2 and the top 1 night 3 onwards become immune to kills that night. This is designed to stop town losing their strongest players. I don't know whether scum should be given votes or a way to tamper with the votes?
Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.
I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play?
I need to practice my plagiarism skills. To be serious though, I hadn't seen yours and I made the above to attempt to remedy issues that plague games at my homesite; village inactivity/disengagement and actives being killed off. For your set up, I'd say regular mountainous numbers are fine assuming you're looking for a 50% EV, but that's just my guess.

11:2 is theoretically balanced in Mountainous Forum Mafia. In practice, Town usually loses due to apathy/disillusionment. 8:3 requires them to lynch correctly more than 50% of the time, which doesn't happen often in non-Mountainous games.
*shrug* I was going off of memory of Numbers Part 1, but yeah 11:2 is within most definitions of "theoretically balanced" (40-60%). In practice it doesn't work.
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.
This feels like it will be damaged by early massclaim.
If its playing with neighbors you could even just do something very crude and say all players get a neighbor partner then balance it out from there. When you start guaranteeing things like there being a scum neighbor you enter a situation where them getting lynched early will basically end the game because of how many it clears.
Wanna try running this in micro, can I get some thoughts? Is the SK too disadvantaged? If so, what would be a solution? Turning JK into Doctor or Roleblocker?
Edit:
This is actually probably better balanced.

~23% was 10:2. 11:2 is more like 40%, but additions in 2 after that have really bad diminishing returns, takes 17:2 to make it even.
The thing is, town should theoretically lynch better than random. So 40% is usually considered balanced, because the town shouldn't ever have an even or better chance to win through random lynching.
Get the feeling town may get burned quite a bit though since they essentially have three lynches to hit the SK. They miss him by that point they are going to need some doctor help. You also have the thread of the SK being lynched before Town Doctor essentially creating a nightless game with an Innocent Child.

First instinct is to kill off the Ascetic for scum.
10:3 with two town PRs and one scum PR is already strong for scum, they do not need anything else. Only reason I im not immediately pushing for more town power is that you have two confirmed town and scum will have a very difficult time fakeclaiming JOAT in this situation.

Will sleep on it but this sounds good
2:5 with IC is pretty townsided, but it also gives Mafia incentive to not lynch the SK early which I think is pretty cool.
