This may be too complicated/random... but what do you think?

Better in Two's

Town

2x Sowers of Chaos
2x Indecisive Cops
2x Indecisive Trackers
2x Indecisive Roleblockers
2x Indecisive Mason Vigs (work like a Mafia team)

Indecisive Mafia

1x Indecisive Roleblocker
1x Indecisive Rolefinder
1x Indecisive Tracker
1x Sower of Chaos

*All Indecisive Roles target two people; only one of those two is affected, chosen randomly. Trackers will learn about both targets.
*The Sowers of Chaos are Bus Drivers - they switch the places of two people.
*One Mafia will have to give up their role to kill - which is also Indecisive. The other three can use their abilities additionally.
*Sower of Chaos abilities are handled first by order of sending, then everything else afterwards.

To make it a 12-person game, could probably cut 2 Sowers of Chaos (one from town and one from mafia). That'd make it a little more simple, too.

The tracker one is easily broken.

We decided this: If you have a role that targets two people and you get two results: Target yourself as one of the choices.

Or you could make it illegal for any role to target itself

District Mafia:

15 Players

4 Mafia(No Nightkill) 10 Townies 1 Serial Killer

5 Districts

3 Players per District

If a majority of players in a district are voting for a player, then the district is considered to be voting for that player.

If a majority of districts are voting for a player, that player will be lynched.

Deadline of 2 Weeks for every day, if a lynch is not reached before deadline, NL will occur.

Is there 1 mafia/SK per district? Would be pretty hard on them that way, methinks, though town has no powers, hm. 2 weeks seems rough, too. Interesting idea :D
We decided this: If you have a role that targets two people and you get two results: Target yourself as one of the choices.

You only get one result, chosen at random from the two targeted, and you find who that person targeted, not who targeted them.

Beware of accidental Gerrymandering.

Intresting, though.

Ugh, please don't re-run Jester Mafia under the same winner-take-all rules. It's abysmally unbalanced...

Just Try Claiming sounds kind of interesting, actually. I'd second that...

Theocracy Generation Mafia:
Each night is the equivalent of 100 years so we go through a single generation.

4 mafia
12 townies (1 of whom, King & Queen Maker)

At the beginning there are:

8 Princes
8 Princesses

And they get married to one of the opposite sex each night(for this we presume they are all heterosexual)
These will be the first generation, at dawn a couple gets selected as King and Queen.
They choose a person to get executed (removed from game forever)
And all generations give birth to up to 2 children (1 for each member of the couple remaining) (We presume the widow or widower got remarried and only had a single child)
Mafia make a kill
This is the second generation, this generation pick a partner of the opposite sex (However this time it may not be someone of relation i.e. sister/brother)
Go through cycle again
They pick partners again (can't marry anyone related (brother sister or cousins)
AFTER THAT GENERATION
They pick partners again but they can't marry anyone who is brother sister or cousin.
Once people can no longer get married genetic disease takes over and everyone loses.

Could that work?

If you're not actually trying to get your setup into the Open Queue then why are you posting them here?
