Scumhunter's Speed 8p

Scumhunter's Speed 8p is an 8-player Open Setup featuring one-week days, no PRs, and a unique use of nightkills (on N1 only).

Setup

8 players:

• 5 Townies
• 3 Scum

Mechanics

• Day start

• The scum QT is open during Nights and the first 48 hours of each Day. The timer starts ticking Day One when role PMs are sent out.

• One week deadlines. 24 hour nights.

• You cannot no-lynch in Scumhunter's Speed 8p. Lynches are plurality (with a majority instantly ending day, as normal). Ties are broken by seniority of the last vote.

• The scum have no normal nightkill. However, after Day One only:
  • If a scum player is lynched, scum chose one player to kill, but it then becomes White Flag (scum lose when there is only one scum left)
  • If a town player is lynched, scum must kill one of their own.

Scumhunter's 8p + LaL

This variant is designed to incentivize scum lurking, ideally increasing player enforcement of activity.

A scumbag lurking for 48 hours gets two points. For each 48 hour block they lurk after that, they get another point. Points are banked each night for all scum who are living. (If a town player is lynched D1, the scum being killed by their team will still have their D1 points count.) If one scumbag banks 4 points, or the whole team banks 7, they get an extra kill, flavored "Poisoned". Scum can only get one such kill per game. It can only be used during Night.

Each player is allowed one 48 hour V/LA throughout the game. (Thus, don't play a scumhunters 8p if you anticipate frequent V/LA's for the next few weeks.) Declaring V/LA kills your lurkerscum timer. It starts ticking 48 hours after the declared V/LA (even if you come back before then).
