Don't Trust The Cops

Name: Don't Trust Cops Setup Size: Large Players: 21 Setup Type: Theme Large Semi-Open Experimental Designer: Titus

Don't Trust the Cops (aka Don't Trust Titus) is a semi-open setup game for 21 players, with roles heavily borrowed from almost-every site Titus has been on. THIS IS NOT AN APPROVED SETUP. THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS! DO NOT USE WITHOUT REVIEW!

Setup

Role Information

• 15 town
  • 2 Town Investigative Roles
  • 2 Town Protecting
  • 1 Town Killing
  • 1 Town Messaging
  • 1 Town Miscellaneous PR
  • 3 Town Anything Roles (Cannot be Scum Exclusive (E.g. Actress or Framer) or Third Party Roles)
  • 5 Vanilla Townies

• 5 scum
  • 1 Scum Manipulator
  • 1 Scum Chaos Creator
  • 1 Scum Investigative
  • 2 Scum Anything

• 1 Third-Party Killer

• • • Assign three negative modifiers to players at random. Verify negative modifiers have relevance.
      • Give one scum at random an undetectable modifier (Ascetic, Godfather, Ninja)
      • Check Balance as needed according to the FAQ. Make adjustments as needed.

Getting to Role PMs

Roll for each category. Document each number drawn. Those numbers are the roles for each category. If scum get two or more of 1-shot daybig, neighborizing psychotic jailkeeper, or dirty old bastard, reroll. Roll a number one through 5. That scum is the scum is the "undetectable" scum. Roll a number one through 3. This determines what type of investigation immune the scum are.

Roll three numbers 1 through 21. 16-20 are the scum. 21 is the third party. Assign each number rolled a negative modifier that makes sense with their role PM. For instance, a drunk VT is not appropriate, as they rarely get feedback.

Check for balance. If the game is unbalanced, reroll as little as possible.

Mechanics/FAQ

• Daystart
• This uses an Order of Operations. This is because NAR leaves questions of what resolves first.
• If a role has a component that tells alignment (cop, gunsmith, "weak", godfathers return as town).
• If a cop or the gunsmith and the doctor are in the same setup, the scum have a one shot strongman per cop and gunsmith. This is to prevent follow the cop. These strongmen kills are enabled by the cop and the gunsmith. If the cops and the gunsmiths or the doctors die, the scum no longer have the strongman kills. If scum burn the strongman, then they are vulnerable to follow the cop.

• Scum Dirty Old Bastards, Day-vigs and neighborizing psychotic jailkeepers are kills in addition to the normal night kill.
• Any scum player can kill and use their ability in the same night. They will "visit" both locations for the purposes of trackers and watchers. If a player somehow targets a player twice, trackers and watchers only see one visit.
• Scum do not have daychat unless they have an encryptor.

*Roleblocking resolves before all other actions.

• A roleblocker cannot be roleblocked. Targeting a roleblocker does nothing.
• A roleblocker targeting a Neighborizing Psychotic Jailkeeper/Kidnapper, prevents the kill but not the jailing.
• A self-targeting bus driver is not immune from roleblocking.
• No other role is immune from roleblocking, unless stated specifically in its role PM.
• If a bus driver is redirected, his first target is changed to who the redirector selects, even if he selected himself.

• Mods should check for any breaking scenarios after rolling, but there should not be any. If the setup is unfair, reroll.

Godfather (Scum Undetectable)

You appear as town to all cop and gunsmith checks.

Miller (Neg. Utility)
