You bring a Closed Setup in here.

Me and my crack team (I'll just yell at antihero and Radiantcowbells to help)
Decide if it's balanced.
Or if it's extremely unbalanced, town leaning, or scum sided.

Please don't bring a setup you plan on running.
Pref a setup that already ran.

I would say this is townsided given the amount of clears.
Probably not overtly townsided though since no investigatives.
Chances of it swinging depend on night kill and who friendly neighbor visited night one.

Four confirmed town in a 13 player game is a lot.
Scum essentially can't kill the VTs.

This setup was built with input from the normal review group and then ended in a perfect town win on Day 2.
Ill let antihero and Radiantcowbells comment on this since I was a reviewer, I thought this was perfectly balanced.
In post 7, Accountant wrote:13 mafia goons

Unbalanced, but also a troll suggestion.
In post 8, McMenno wrote:2 goons
5 townies
1 1-shot bulletproof
1 tracker

days are 365 days
nights are 24 hours
two lynches a day, plurality
Worst setup ever.
In post 12, Randomnamechange wrote:1 paranoid gun owner/vig
12 SKs
Second worst setup ever.

I'd say scum sided.

Doctor gives false positive.
Vigilante can shoot masons and has lower chance of killing scum with scum.

In post 63, FakeGod wrote:Hey, Anti, what about this setup:

3 Scum Gentlemen/Ladies
14 Town Gentlemen/Ladies

One Town player's alignment is confirmed at game start. Players proceed to pair up via asking and answering publicly. The loser who has no dance partner then flips.
Dance pairs become lovers. Up to 2 lynches in Day 1, 1 Nightkill in Night 1, and lynch until game end in Day 2.
I know you didn't ask my opinion but since this is effectively nightless with only one power role, plus 1 night kill, think it's pretty scum sided.

Like almost as bad as mountainous.

You open to giving feedback on the balance of a Role Madness game that ran off-site?
Yes

10:3 Setup.
Scum sided.
The Town roles basically can't do shit.
Unless mafia ascetic gets lynched earlier it's going to be tough on town.
