Santa Themed Round

Gerryover 9 years ago

HO HO HO. It's that time of the year again.

In the spirit of Christmas, the next competitive round will be a Santa themed round. Every Competitive setup MUST have the Santa role in there. So the winners of this round will be choosing setups with the Santa role in them.

As an added bonus, I will be giving 20 tokens to the person I deem to have created the most balanced and best Santa themed setup! (Don't use 3rd party roles in the setups for comp balance reasons)

Below, you can submit a setup you think is balanced, I (or another mod) can mod plus it, so you can play it ranked to test. I'll be choosing the best setup by the end of the round!

Here are a few examples of good balanced Santa setups: https://epicmafia.com/setup/1277946 https://epicmafia.com/setup/1279331 https://epicmafia.com/setup/1277983

Good luck! And Merry Christmas.

x2 pts for tests. i changed bomb with bp
since santa is a superior pr, the tracker reports are less usefull and doesnt confirm mafia. i think that its balanced with ninja and sleep walker.

Extending the time a bit more. Should be around 24 hours before I pick a winner, cause of reasons.

Send in more setups!!

Santa or Snowman (Both?). Make them creative.

writing description of gameplay now.

Also you shouldnt luck be looking for balance - you can throw a snowman into any setup, they should have to actually play a core part in the setups mechanics.
Yes, that's what i'm looking for when I choose the best one.

Christmas-themed POE mechanical scumhunt.

Like most of my setups there is a basic underlying strategy, with plenty of room to adapt and experiment for both teams.
vondoom likes this one the best of all the new santa setups.

This is going to be a fun round, hopefully.

Could a mod make this ranked? I want to see how balanced it is.

N2: Tracker, track an FoS. Santa can gun, but should vest a pr. Strongman can kill bomb with his strength, but, if a pr is vested, should go ahead and use his strength to take out the vested pr. Mafia's optimal strategy now is to take out santa, as they have report on naughty/nice and gives gifts. If santa gifts a mafia and the santa is dead, santa cannot say who they gunned. If mafia is gunned in lylo, yay; you win. Vests are useless on mafia. Janitor is almost like a nilla now.

D2: If town has wrongly lynched the correct claim, lynch the cc. Otherwise, Santa should out report. If you lynch nilla or miller, be careful, as this might be lylo. If all three mafia are alive, this IS lylo. Tracker outs report (unless dead) and together town and pr's scumhunt.

N3: Follow procedures. If strongman hasn't used his strength, he should do so now to kill bomb.

D3: Town, just scumhunt for mafia. Mafia, seem towny. Rinse and repeat these steps until game's over.

Hope ya like it and it's at least a tolerable balance. It's hard to create balanced setups with santa.

https://epicmafia.com/setup/1379205 A.K.A Gifts and Bloody Floors

Preferred Game Flow:

N1: Prs do their thing. Santa, it's optimal to either vest or gun somebody, as bread is useless and giving a crystal to mafia won't work. Janitor jans, and strongman doesn't back up the kill.

D1: There are 9 people left, unless an unlucky mafia has hit bomb without strongman using strength. By now, somebody probably has a gun or vest, in which they should out that they have such. Santa should also out their report, as miller appears nice on Santa's list. This day is your mislynch. Janitor; if you've janned Santa, then wait till somebody outs to confirm it. If nobody outs a gun/vest, DO NOT claim so. If you've janned tracker, claim with a made-up report. If you've janned bomb and strongman backed up the kill, then HOLY HELL. Claim and it's almost auto for you.

Strongman and Nilla should act towny and try not to get lynched. They may cc if optimal.

If somebody has the gun, santa directs the shot almost like a gunsmith. Tracker outs report, though keep in mind that it may not be mafia, as a pr could have visited said dead person. Bomb, interestingly enough, can choose to claim. Beware, however, for the strongman might use strength on you the following night. Blues, act towny. Town should use their ML on a FoS or cc.

a&d like setup except that tracker reports doesn't clear anyone with ninja and sleepwalker.
nv reports= 50% town 50% scum
visited X reports depends on the person, if its the one who died, its most likely nilla and rarely sleep walker. and if its a visit on alive 50% hooker 50% sleep walker.
can you x2 pts this? im thinking about changing bomb with bp, im not sure yet need to test

https://epicmafia.com/setup/1378984 - I did this setup based on that but I'm wondering how to name it... "Law & Order: X-mas Edition" would be suitable but maybe there's an episode with santa which Gerry or somebody else has watched.

Snowman Setup

Gerry
okay if you make a good snowman setup, we'll allow that too.
Snowman is easier to balance that Santa so I'll take it
