Guiser perfected

Disguiser: you are forced to kill someone and take their disguise each night. Try to survive for three days by maintaining a convincing disguise. If you kill one person and disguise as a different person, then you will not actually be disguised, but you will be revealed by the loudmouths and you will lose.

---

Town: you are forced to lynch someone each day.

Use this setup instead of cops vs. disguiser in order to prevent the town from having a night meeting.

Cops vs Guiser is much better in my opinion, just looking at the setup. Haven't played it.

This is a great setup and all, but should not be ranked lol It's heavily town-sided

I've seen people say this setup is entirely meta so many times. By meta, in this context, I'm referring to asking other players questions about themselves that guiser would not be able to answer. For one thing, it makes the setup heavily townsided (as seen in the win rate).

This setup is not all meta. If you have to meta to find the guiser, you're missing out on everything that makes the setup fun. Literally, everything.

Here's how you play without using meta:

Each day, compare what people say to what they said the day before. Are they suddenly changing their punctuation habits? Are they talking a lot more or less than yesterday? Are there slight differences in their tone when they speak? Any of those things point to guiser. It's fun and hard for both guiser and town. Most people who say "this setup is all meta" don't catch the most obvious differences like this because they aren't looking.

Hm we've run into the problem where a new person joins and messes up guiser a couple times - there's no way to easily and safely nl in this setup, which is useful in that situation.

Also an observation: guiser isn't forced to guise after the first night since loudmouth messages only out the original guiser's name :/

Good in theory... but town 90% winrate. I would decrease the number of Loudmouths to really call it "perfected." Being Disguiser is hard.
