Spoiler: Basic Setup Information:

Player Count: 13

1 Town Disloyal Fruit Vendor
1 Town Loyal Jailkeeper
1 Town Neapolitan
1 Mafia 2-shot Neighborizer
1 Mafia JOAT (1-shot Strongman, 1-shot Jailkeeper, 1-shot Activated Informed)
1 Mafia Goon
7 Vanilla Townie

Activated Informed Information:
There is a Loyal Jailkeeper in the game.

Mechanics:
Days are 2 IRL weeks. Nights are 2 IRL days.
Majority-only elimination mechancis
Daytalk for all PT's.


Notes:
My goal when designing this setup was to make a low-swing setup that gives scum the ability to warlock the game with their neighborizer ability. To counterbalance, I gave town three roles to confirm other townies, one that gets weaker over time due to said neighborizer, the two others whose results may not come or be messed with in the case of the LJK.
The biggest worry I have with the setup at the moment is I'm unsure if said counterbalance is too effective and will lead to town PoEing too easily.
Also looking for feedback on my ruleset.

Spoiler: Rules:

Rules

Inspired by Umlaut's ruleset, with some tweaks.
No rules stated here supersede the Forum Rules and Guidelines. If there is a contradiction between these rules and those, please inform me privately so I may correct it.

The Basics

:

• Days are 336 hours (2 weeks). Nights are 48 hours (2 days).
  Prod timers of 48/24 (hours). The timer pauses during weekends. Naked prod dodges will only be counted the first three times. Players who incur 3 prods will be replaced.
  Standard Majority-only elimination mechanics.
  Daytalk enabled for all PT's.

Conduct:

• 1. I will be using
  Teal
  for my mod color. Avoid using it.
  2. Play to your win-condition.
  3. You may not discuss this game in any capacity outside of this game until a win-condition has been met.
  4. Mafia can become a heated game. Some measure of insult is allowed. However, excessive insults, ad-hominim attacks, or targeted harrassment will be met with a warning. Failing to adhere to it will result in replacement. The use of slurs/insults/attacks that target minority, disadvantaged, or legally protected classes will result in replacement.
  5. Interpersonal disputes and other outside influences are to be kept out of the game.
  6. Do not quote or misquote private communications from the moderator. Do not quote or misquote any communications from any private topics you be in.
  7. Don't use encryption, tiny/hidden/unreadable text or anything that makes your post illegible in the main thread. All communication in the main thread must be in English.
  8. Images/GIF's are allowed as long as they are not excessively large. As a general rule, avoid using anything that is over 1000 pixels in any dimension. Excessive amounts of GIF's/Images on a single page will result in a warning.
  9. All replacement requests will be taken as serious, irrevocable, and effective once they are sent. Once you have requested replacement, you are disbarred from posting in the main thread. Similiarly, do not declare a replace out in the thread. Do not threaten to replace out. Do not tell another player to replace out, or say that you are considering replacing out.
  10. If you are eliminated from the game through any means, you are disbarred from posting in the thread.
  11. All pretended violations of the above rules will be treated as actual violations. Do not intentionally test the limits of these rules.

Activity Requirements:

Every 48 hours without a post will inquire a prod from me. Once you are prodded, you have 24 hours to post before you are replaced.
The prod timer is paused during weekends.
You may post naked prod dodges, but they will only count the first three times. Afterwards, posts must be game-advancing to reset the prod timer.
If you are prodded three times, you will be replaced.
Vacation/Limited Access: Declare V/LA by bolding Mod: V/LA until [date], if you have to be absent longer than 36 hours. The prod timer pauses completely during this time. If you are V/LA longer than 7 days (168 hours), you will be replaced. If you must be V/LA for that amount of time or longer, I recommend you simply replace out instead.

• Game Mechanics:

Day:

• Days begin with a deadline of 336 hours (14 days/2 weeks)
  
  Days end when one of the following occurs:
  
  The deadline is reached
  An execution (elimination) or no-execution (no-elimination) is achieved.
  A player of any alignment is modkilled.
  Votes should be made via the vote tag: ["vote]NAME[/vote"] or ["v]NAME[/v"] (without the quotation marks). Full-player names are preferred.
  When more than half of the living players (50% + 1 rounded down) are voting for the same player, that player will be executed (eliminated) and the day will end. Votes are irrevocable once a majority is achieved.
  You may vote not to execute by voting for "No Execution or No Elimination". When a majority is reached on this (50% + 1 rounded down), the day will end without an execution.
  If the day reaches deadline without a majority, there will be no execution.
  Votes must be recognizably the players name, or they will not be counted (e.g typing SpaceHospital when you are trying to vote for OutWorldER will not count.)
  When a majority vote has been achieved but not yet recognized by the moderator, then the game is in Twilight. All players, including the condemned, may continue to post in all related topics until I lock the thread.
  Under certain circumstances I may elect to extend the deadline. I will announce this in thread if it occurs.

Night:

• Nights last 48 hours, or until all living players have given me approval to end it early.
  During the night, you should be unable to post in the public game thread. If for some reason you are able, doing so is against the rules.
  Mafia night abilities must be submitted in the Mafia's private thread. Factional kills must specify which mafioso carries out the kill.
  Town night abilities should be submitted via PM. If you have a Notes PT, I will allow it to be submitted there.
  Use of active night abilities is optional unless otherwise specified in the role PM; if no action is submitted, no action will occur.

Sample Role PM:

At least one player will receive the role of Townie and the following role PM:

Sample Role PM

Vanilla Townie:
