And while I'm at it I should send this out from 2 weeks ago...

Town 2-Shot Watcher
Town Friendly Neighbour
Town 1-Shot Vigilante
Town Neighbouriser
5 Vanilla Townies

Mafia Goon
Informed Mafioso ("This setup contains a Watcher ability")
Mafia Tracker

I think this is probably balanced. 1x vig with no possible failure mechanism = game is guaranteed to get on odds again (since it starts on evens). Vig + friendly neighbor = two conftown. Watcher is gated, but scum knowing it exists mean that they can't just recklessly kill the conftown here.

Just need the roles and then it'd be a /pass from me.

There is one possible failure mechanism: that the vig gets eliminated D1 without a chance to claim. I don't think that this is at all likely, though (of course, now that I've said that…), and town probably deserve the loss if it happens.

Anyway, role PMs (these assume scum+Neighbour daytalk, which needs to be mentioned in the game rules):

(an Informed Mafioso) and

player

(a Mafia Goon). You may talk to them using

this private topic

, which you may read and post to at any time.

Once per night, if no other member of your faction is performing this action, you may nightkill a player; assuming no interference with your action, that player will die unless protected.
Alternatively, if you are not performing the nightkill that night, you may choose a player; assuming no interference with your action, you will learn who that player targets that night.

You win when the Mafia are the last remaining faction (or nothing can prevent this).

: " did not target anybody last night"; " targeted last night"; (not possible in this setup, but listed in case you need to answer questions about how the role works) "Your action failed, and received no result".

Informed Mafioso

You are a

Informed Mafioso

.

Your teammates are

player

(a Mafia Tracker) and

player

(a Mafia Goon). You may talk to them using

this private topic

, which you may read and post to at any time.

You know the following additional information about the setup: "This setup contains a player with a Watcher ability". (A Watcher ability allows its user to choose a player, and learn who else targets that player that Night.)

Once per night, if no other member of your faction is performing this action, you may nightkill a player; assuming no interference with your action, that player will die unless protected.

You win when the Mafia are the last remaining faction (or nothing can prevent this).

: The information in an Informed player's role PM is not part of their role; it works more like an investigation result. As such, if the Informed Mafioso dies, they should flip simply as "Informed Mafioso"; the actual information that they know (including the note about what a Watcher is) should be omitted or redacted.

Mafia Goon

Mafia Goon

Your teammates are

player

(a Mafia Tracker) and

player

(an Informed Mafioso). You may talk to them using

Note to whichever moderator gets this setup: take care to avoid sending people the mod notes / result PMs in addition to the role PMs. It's probably safest to copy-and-paste from the post itself, rather than its source code.

I'd like to note on a technicality that both results listed as not possible in this setup (Watcher/Tracker) are in fact possible in this setup (two people can visit one player the watcher is watching; the tracker can track someone which is the result listed as impossible), but obviously otherwise, roles are good, so:
/pass

The "(not possilble)" result is the no result result (it applies to the result after it, not the result before). There aren't any manipulative roles or modifiers in the setup.

Ah. My bad, misread the punctuation.

assuming this uses natural action resolution? (this is a normal game so most likely, just wanted to double check)

also, anything else I should know? thanks!

Yes, normal games use NAR. Most of the time it won't really matter which specific action resolution you're using, though.

I keep forgetting to leave extra space between the role PM and mod notes, so take care when copy-and-pasting.
