F11

Name: F11 Setup Size: Micro Players: 9 Setup Type: Semi-Open Micro Designer: mith

F11 was an experimental Newbie Setup, trying to address flaws in previous setups. It is also the first official 9-player newbie setup, excepting Newbie Game 69. The first game to utilize this setup is Newbie Game 576. However, due to balance issues, it was replaced by the 2of4 setup beginning with Newbie Game 1097.

F11 consists of four variations, chosen at random (the name comes from the binary expression of these four options, similar to C9):

• 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 1 Sane Cop, 1 Doctor, 5 Townies.
• 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 7 Townies.
• 2 Mafia Goons, 1 Sane Cop, 6 Townies.
• 2 Mafia Goons, 1 Doctor, 6 Townies.

For balance reasons, the Roleblocker should be able to nightkill even if the Goon is dead; see this thread, among others, for arguments on the matter.

Setup name

mith originally called it C9+2 w/a Slice of Pie (in reference to Pie E7), but Mr. Flay labeled it F11, based on the hexadecimal expansion of C9, representing the four possibilities of power role distribution.

Cop	Doc	RB	Setup
1	1	1	1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 1 Sane Cop, 1 Doctor, 5 Townies
1	0	0	2 Mafia Goons, 1 Sane Cop, 6 Townies
0	1	0	2 Mafia Goons, 1 Doctor, 6 Townies
0	0	1	1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 7 Townies

111100010001 (binary) => F11 (hexadecimal)

Also, the name could be a reference to the Road to Rome forum where Newbie Games are played. Road to Rome is Forum 11 (F11).
