For a no-flip game, I suggest that you make it 11:2. No reveal is hilariously scumsided, IMO.
For possible roles:
1 town living rolecop
1 town dead alignment and role cop
1 town (x-shot?) vig
1 town gunsmith
1 town bodyguard
6 VTs
1 scum dead rolecop
1 scum living rolecop
In other news, Hoopla's game is freaking awesome. Just saying.

The SK is overpowered.

Not a bad option. I wasn't expecting to get the ratios perfect the first time around - so I expect to change things around to minimise any glaringly advantageous selections. Perhaps the setup is trying to do too much and I need to reduce the variables.
This actually seems like a really cool setup and probably one of the only opens I wouldn't mind playing in.

Well Odd night gets a result on Night 1, as does 1-shot. Even night has to live to Day 3 to get a meaningful result, so it's weaker.

vs. SK with Unlimited Bulletproof and Cop Immunity
Aw yeah Survivor
I'd still much rather put a 1-Shot Cop against myself then an Even cop who has potential for multiple reports.
Edit: Two scum roles useless here, but whatever, don't have time to fix.

He would have to live until Day 5 to get 2 reports. Without being killed OR ran up. Optimal play for the even night cop is probably to claim Day 3 with a result, really.

Wait, don't SKs need shots to win at endgame and achieve their last man standing wincin?

Yeah but combo meals have no downsides. This combo means you don't get the 5 point bonus you'd normally get. It's like getting the KFC combo meal for a cheaper price, but they take a chicken away or something.

Sorry to bring this up again in the midst discussion of an AWESOME setup, but I figured how to protect from massclaims and protect against some of the town bias of it. May have swung back to scumsided, though. We'll see.

Could possibly be shifted to have 4 sightless oracles and some actual VTs/Powerroles in case of it being scumsided. As is, the job for the scum is to look as townish as possible while offing the oracles, so that there won't be enough confirmed town to stop them come LyLo.

In Opens like that you need to watch out for VTs becoming a named role though. Best to avoid them.

Fair enough, but such a thing would be useful if it is indeed scumsided.

Seems like the scum are at a distinct disadvantage. They have no means to tell who is an oracle which reveals someone or not, it's just a crapshoot as far as roles go. There's no strategy.

I was thinking that the strategy would be to appear townish enough to draw the investigations while killing off people who they suspect to be the true oracles, but then again that means nothing, given said oracles don't know who they are. How about moving things around *even more* like so:

Other than the fact that that's a lot of confirmed towns flying around, seems to have a similar issue. No point n cornering since theres 2 random oracles though and so that's some information.
I guess I just don't know how I feel about hidden cop roles in the game; seems like a larger counterbalance is needed if that's what you're after. Or some other crafted mechanic.
