This setup will be created by random.org list organizer, with co gm and kouncil member dargorygel serving as witness to the roll.

Mafia Day Chat is always on: The mafia can talk at all times, any time, by simply going into discord. The mafia chat does not close during days, or at nights, and is always on.

Phases are 24/24 and players may talk during the night in the game thread.

Participation requirements are unique, please read carefully, you don't have to post, but you do need to vote! If a player habitually fails to post as a strategy they will not be sanctioned.

Mafia may attempt to recruit a town player to join them once per game; this recruitment can be refused. A player may choose to join the mafia, or they can reject this offer.

The PR list is extensive, 3 of the roles from that list will be in play for Town, 1 role from the list will be a Mafia role. There are 18 possible roles that the actual roles could have come from. To avoid any gaming of the setup, the roles were randomly rolled and were not adjusted for balance. Anything is possible.

Factional Abilities: (Mafia)
Daychat : Mafia will always have daychat enabled and may communicate any time during the game.

Mind Blast: Mafia may use a mind blast to roleblock a player at night, all actions that player attempts to take will be prevented. They will be told their action failed, not that they were roleblocked.

Tadpole: Mafia may forgo killing once per game and during the night offer to recruit a player from among the town to join the mafia. That player may accept the offer or refuse. If the player accepts the offer of recruitment their wincon will change to be that they must win with mafia. A town PR may elect to change sides, consume the tadpole and join the mafia instead. This ability may only be used up to and during night 4.

Nightkill: The Mafia may kill another player with this action on any night, they may not use a tadpole and also kill on the same night.

Town will have 3 PR in this setup,the Mafia will have 1 PR in this setup.(IF game size is larger than 20 it will be 4 PR and 2 PR for Mafia for a total of six). This can come from any combination of Roles and Subclasses but there would not be any duplicate role and class. Mafia PR could be any role listed below but there will only be 1, and the rest will be goons.

Because at least one of the roles from this list will be mafia,

wincon for Harpers is that the Illithid must be eliminated
wincon for Illithid is that they must eliminate the Harpers.

Vanilla Town: You are a member of the Harpers, you win when the Illithids are eliminated.
Mafia Goon: You are a member of the Illithids, you win when the Harpers are eliminated.

We love role madness

I may take myself out if I am busy over the next few weeks

This setup is called a semi open, where town has 3 PR specialists, and Mafia has 1 Specialist.

The semi open means you can see all possible roles in play but will not know which exact combinations of roles are actually in. The original setup draft had 36 roles, including barbarians, monks, druids, rogues and warlocks. to simplify the review process and make this easier to test the setup was cut in half to 18 roles.

I expect the game to have around 18 players, which would be 14 town v 4 mafia as far as the distribution.

Iatrophobe: May not be protected from nightkills, may not be saved, attacks on latrophobe may not be redirected. Tadpole recruitment will fail automatically.

##Call GM

This appears to be an extremely negative-utility role. Is that intentional or am I missing some advantage provided by this ultra-weak anti-PR?

This PR is ineligible to even consider being recruited to switch teams to become mafia. The role acts as a clear but indeed has no powers. the existence of this role in the setup does not exclude the mafia or town get stuck with this role as one of their specialists. Other than being unable to be saved from dying, there are still roles that can be utilized that can for example, watch this role get killed or witness an attempt to recruit it. Without going further into deeper specific strategic advice, the rationale for the roles existence is that its very weak, and could just randomly end up being in the setup on either team.

Setup is still under review and there is still a few adjustments I plan to make, I will always want more roles than players to prevent any attempts to mass hypo claim or break the setup in some way. This is unavoidable and people will always try to do some scheme like that, so I am still waiting on kouncil feedback if they see any cracks or reworks needed. If anything changes it will be well published and documented.

For transparency here is the list where I still had 27 roles possible the list at one time was 36 when warlocks, monks and bards were in it. It just seemed silly to need that large of a setup when only 4-6 of them will even be in play.

Follow-up question:

If the Mafia try to use the Tadpole on this role, is the Tadpole used up, or can they try again on someone else, on another night?

Also:

If the Tadpole is rejected by a target (i.e. they don't want to be recruited), does the Mafia lose it?

If mafia try to use the tadpole on Iatrophobe it is used up.
If tadpole is rejected by a target it is used up.

The ability to use the tadpole may only happen N1-N4 and may only occur once per game. This ability is used up once the action is utilized, regardless of if it was successful or not.

A player may PM when they have been given a tadpole.

They will get a message stating:

"You have received a Tadpole from the Illithids, you may choose to ##Consume or ##Destroy.

##Consume means you will instantly become a member of the Mafia, and join their day chat.

##Destroy means you will reject their offer and they will be notified you have rejected the tadpole and destroyed it.

If you choose to do nothing, the Tadpole will die at the end of that day phase and will be destroyed. You may choose to Consume this tadpole up to the final 30 minutes of that day phase, otherwise if no action is taken the tadpole will die.
