2of4 is the latest experimental Newbie Setup, trying to address flaws in previous setups. The preceding Newbie Setup was F11, but the setup was determined to produce an inordinate number of mafia wins, and is being phased out as a result. The first game to utilize the new 2of4 setup was Newbie 1097.
Setup name
The name of the setup is derived from the possible roles in the setup, where seven roles are predetermined, and 2 of 4 possible roles are chosen at random to fill the last two setup slots. The seven predetermined roles are 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, and 5 Vanilla Townies. The 4 possible roles out of which 2 are chosen are: Sane Cop, Doctor, Jailkeeper, or a sixth Vanilla Townie. There is no chance for duplication in these last two roles.
As of Newbie 1102, The Mafia Roleblocker has been changed to a Mafia RoleCop. This was done to prevent RB vs. RB interactions.
Variations
There are six possible variations to this setup:
- 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 5 Vanilla Townies, Sane Cop, Doctor.
- 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 5 Vanilla Townies, Sane Cop, Jailkeeper.
- 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 5 Vanilla Townies, Doctor, Jailkeeper.
- 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 6 Vanilla Townies, Sane Cop.
- 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 6 Vanilla Townies, Jailkeeper.
- 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 6 Vanilla Townies, Doctor.
Balance Discussion
- The Roleblocker is allowed to both nightkill and perform his Roleblock action no matter whether the Goon is dead or not; see this thread, among others, for arguments on the matter.
- The Jailkeeper action resolves simultaneously with the Roleblock action. This has the effect of allowing the RBer to still submit a kill, as the kill would normally resolve after the blocking actions in accordance with Natural Action Resolution; see this thread for discussion on the matter.
