The Newbie F11 Multisetup from mafiascum.net Balanced, fair, and fun. Those who don't want to scumhunt need not apply.

Way too many blues to be fun.

Isn't that the best part of mafia? Scumhunting, rather than relying on PRs is the real reason this game was invented.

Honestly, EM games have become too reliant on roles such as tracker and watcher, and we underestimate the power of our own intuition. Even as a blue you have a great amount of power.

Plus, the best part about multi-setup is that it sets quite a few interesting options for fakeclaiming.

Why did we get +2 comp'd setups? O-o

The only thing holding this setup back is the inability for mafia to know who their partners are on D1. It needs to be day start, but mafia need to be able to see their partner.

Is there any way that all mafia-oriented roles are revealed to every other mafia-oriented player?

Dafish, replace the nilla mafia with a spy.

Cheryl, how will that do it? Spy sends anonymous messages? Plus, spies don't participate in kill meetings...

Spies participate in kill meetings. Silencers are the ones that don't.

The spy would send a message like "Hello, my name is CherylCole. Make your next line of text include the word 'fail'" or something to that effect.

The spies send anonymous messages, yes. That way they could contact their mafia partner without needing whispers or the risk of leaking. The only purpose the spy would serve would be to establish the identity of the other mafia partner in d1.

What happens if a spy sends a message to a towny, and outs their name?

Spies can tell when there are other roles in the setup, though. Which sort of defeats the purpose of the mafia not knowing the layout of the setup.

This is an awesome setup and loads of fun if played properly but most people are probably too inattentive to do it right.

Oh jesus my comment makes no sense now that I know what a spy does... I've literally never played a game with one.

Do they whisper to "roles" rather than "players"?

hey guys i'm going to fix everything that is wrong with EM oh wait I don't even know what a spy is
deletedover 13 years
They do whisper to roles, and they can see every role in the game.

Sweet, things seem to balancing themselves out.

Mitten - Sorry, I don't think Spy is one of the core roles of mafia...

This setup is incredibly humbling to play. But at least I know I lose because of my own failure.

EM is not mafia the party game nor forum mafia.

It is the height of arrogance to barge in and claim to be the savior of something you do not even understand.

Just because it is a good setup for a different game does not make it a good setup for this game.

The title is supposed to be sarcastic. I'm definitely not the savior, but I think that my suggestion deserves a chance. You can't seriously think that scumhunting should be absent on EM just because it is chat mafia rather than forum/IRL?

EM certainly has a different metagame, but that's the playerbase fault, not the setup's.
