Does my setup have good mechanics?

The idea is a basic mafia game that's a little more varied in the choices the mafia has. Gameplay is decided on whether nilla cc's cop D1 or not.

If nilla doesn't cc D1:

--Cop outs report D1

--Cop gets killed by mafia N2

--Journalist is on cop N2

--Mafia cc's journalist D2

This route is easier for mafia, but gives town one confirmed report.



If nilla cc's D1:

--Both cop claims out report D1

--Journalist goes on either claim N2

--Informant goes on real cop N2

--Informant cc's journalist D2; depending on cop's report, informant can corroborate real cop and get their partner lynched, or corroborate their partner and try to get real cop lynched.

This route is trickier for mafia, but keeps town more in the dark and doesn't give town a confirmed report.



General mechanics

--Informant has no reason to use their power D1; if journalist is on you then you'll be confirmed mafia.

--If mafia is cc'ing cop, both journalist claims should out their reports before either cop outs their second reports on D2. Cops can then confirm journalist reports.

kinda looks like classic without a doc honestly

What's optimal is both mafia cc cop and Journ D1, and it becomes a better version of STBS.

d2 informant can cc cop, if he informs cop he should quickly guilty him to look legit. did it here:

Thanks, guys! That's a good point Mist, I guess it would make more sense for scout to be an informant.

Hmm. I guess that makes sense.

Could make the scout an informant though to prevent derpmafia from getting caught d1.

It's not bad, but as mist says, if people don't know to not-scout n1, it will be more townsided than it should be.

It basically is a classic mafia setup, which is what you wanted :)

Without scout, the journalist cc has no way of siding with the actual cop on D2. In addition, the real journalist would be automatically clear if he outs cop's report before cop does. Scout is essential.

Scout seems unnecessary and will probably just serve to make mafia lose more games because the journalist will catch people N1 who don't realize that not using their power role is optimal.
