Jungle of Bullshit

Name: Jungle of Bullshit Setup Size: Micro Players: 5 Setup Type: Micro Designer: Patrick

Jungle of Bullshit, originally but now lesser known as Who Needs a Fifth?, is a 5-player Open Setup devised by Patrick at Scumdon the Second, inspired by BBmolla's We Need A Fifth.

Setup

• 3 Mafia Goons
• 2 Vanilla Townies

Mechanics

• Daystart
• Nightless
• If a townie is lynched Day 1, they do not die and must instead immediately kill two other players.
• If a mafia member is lynched day 1, they must immediately confirm one of the town players as town and then kill one of their buddies.
• Town win when all mafia are dead. Mafia win if a town player is lynched on Day 2.

Variants

• For larger setups, add more Mafia Goons. Increase the number of buddies that a lynched scum must kill and the number of venge shots granted to a lynched townie accordingly.

EV

The EV is always between 40% and 50%, assuming randon lynches Day 1. It reaches the minimum of 40% with 5 or 6 players and the EV increases if more players are added above this. If only 4 players are used (as in We Need A Fifth), the EV is 41.7%.

If p is the number of players, the EV is (p²-3p+6)/(2p²-2p).
