Here are some quick look observations about the implications of the mechanics in this setup. These observations were made before roles were assigned.
Early claiming from the town power role is detrimental as all of them are vulnerable to a factional nightkill.
Early crumbing as a town power role and, therefore, as a mafia goon, is potentially powerful.
Any of the three roles can be fakeclaimed just as easily as the others due to the semiopen nature of the setup. It is better to counterclaim a roleclaim using the role that would best match your play throughout the game, rather than the one that correctly matches the subsetup. None of the claims are testable. The exception to this is that Asgore becomes almost impossible to claim once a night passes with no nightkill.
Undyning yourself always protects a town-aligned player, but undyning someone else has potential investigative effects.
The LOVE mechanic can be leashed, but leashing is only beneficial to the extent you get information about a player who had different dayplay. Ruining all the game's dayplay by arguing about a LOVE mechanic leash could not prove worth it's cost. Where there is strong groupthink about where to leash it, this cost is reduced.
And last, but not least, note that Day4 of the pacifist route might be LyLo, and the mafia already know whether it's LyLo.

"Well, I..."
"What? Nothing? You would make the prince suffer over... nothing?"

A more formal "Alive/Dead" list is coming later today.

It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!
If all three spared are town, that works out pretty well for us, but it would be better if we could just spare four town and win on the spot.
Otherwise, we get dumped into a LYLO with a 1v1 unless the one kill hits scum.

we even have a PR. if PR claims, and no cc, we just need to find 1 more conf town. with cc, we just need to dodge 1 mafia. what's wrong with that thought
I don't see how claiming helps. If there is a claim we can spare them but their ability won't mean anything and we lose the advantage of their existence in the first place
