My thoughts on the setup have mostly all been said. Masons + BG might as well have been masons + IC, BG pretty much needs to be balanced as a clear if you know they'll have an obvious protection target.
The setup concept is very interesting, albeit with the flaw that the potential for bulletproof/hider/commuter abilities creates nasty modWIFOM. Agree that the masons sorta overpowered the crown mechanic. I think this type of setup could be really interesting with weaker PR's and stronger crown effects, including maybe an extra kill for scum? (Publicly known of course.) You guys were all afraid of crowning scum even though there was almost nothing bad it could actually do...
And yeah, the tiebreaker rule was dumb
Probably best to just randomize a tiebreak order and post it at the beginning of the game.Thanks for modding Oversoul!
