welp, NSG basically says it

plus, i'd add that follow the cop setups generally have a lot of swing given that like, the investigating PR claiming is actually beneficial, while the non-invest PR claiming starts spelling doom for town

waiting to see what you got to suggest, but i'd add that assuming scum doesn't have multitaskable actions by default, a single mafia exe basically screws over the scumteam big time, given that it neutralizes their PR either way

AGH i wanted to redact my post so gypyx could give feedback first

[northsidegal]

okay so reposting:
my first impression is townsided

cop/doctor vs roleblocker as an open is roughly balanced (last time i checked). rolestopper instead of roleblocker is +town, making it closed is +scum, but loyal fruit vendor is pretty significantly better than a cop. this setup is also pretty open to a follow the cop strategy wherein the LFV claims, gets protected each night by the doctor, and the only counterplay that scum has is to try to guess both who the LFV is and who they might target (to try to rolestop that person).

if you replace the doctor with something weaker i think it would be passable.

well that's embarrassing. I think I must have tripped up or doubled back somewhere in my thinking of how rolestoppers work because looking at this setup I submitted uh yea lol that does not at all work how I remember thinking it would when I submitted.

uhh probably ignore this for now? sorry about that. guess that's what happens when you hit send on a 5-minute idea and then forget to think about it again for the next 2 weeks

and welp alright, you'll come up with something different?

[The Bulge]

eventually, but my spare time and creative energy will be in D&D for the next few weeks so I doubt any time super soon unfortunately.

[northsidegal]
