You walk into the city casino with your friends, ready to spend a fun night and quite some dollars. You're out to have a fun night, and won't let anything ruin it. Sure, there have been rumours about mafia activity and fraud surrounding the casino, but it's probably no biggie, you think to yourself, as you take a seat at a poker table.
Welcome to Stack The Deck! Let's have some fun!

We'll be playing Stack The Deck! Here are the most important bits:
This is an open setup putting 9
townies
against 3
mafia
players.
Gamedays will last 14 real days, gamenights will last 48 hours.
Prods are sent out after 48 hours of inactivity.
I will ask you to confirm with me after
all
role PMs.
Now, you may have read about the setup already on the wiki - but here are the rules once again!
Stack The Deck is, as mentioned, a 9 vs 3 setup. The town starts out with 9 Vanilla Townies or VTs, the mafia starts out with two goons and a 1-Shot Bulletproof traitor. But that's not all - else this game would be way too boring!
In the 72 hours after I send out the first role PMs, giving everyone either a VT, Goon or Traitor role, the two mafia goons may choose up to three of the following modifications to help them:
Neither of the initial goons may have more than one individual modification - no single player may, for example, be both bulletproof and a JOAT. The traitor however may receive an additional modification if they are recruited. If they are not recruited, they may not receive any modifications. The game will begin for real once at least 10/12 players have confirmed their second and updated role PM.
But not all is fun and games for the mafia. As for every modification they pick to strengthen their team, the town gains an additional, random power role. On top of that, town starts out with two "free" power roles. As the mafia may pick up to three modifications to their team, the town will have between 2 and 5 of the following power roles, randomly divided over former Vanilla Townies:
A goon cop (which gets either "Goon" "Not a goon" or "No Result" as a result)
An Innocent Child to be outed by the mod at the start of the game.
Sample role PMs are between the spoiler tags!

Alright! Role PMs will be sent out now, and from the moment the goons receive their role PM they will have 72 hours to pick their modifications. Updated role PMs may be sent out sooner if scum is quick in making their decision.
