3d3: A Newbie Setup as inspired by Cabd, and designed by the Newbie Discussion Group

Name:	3d3
Setup Size:	Micro
Players:	9
Setup Type:	Micro Open Micro Semi-Open
Designers:	Cabd Newbie Discussion Group

3d3 is the current proposed Newbie Setup, intended to address flaws found in the prior setup. The preceding Newbie Setup was Matrix6, but the setup contained a breaking claim strategy and the potential for major role-related apathy, and was thus phased out.

Setup name

The name of the setup is derived from the way the setup can be generated, with the roll of 3 3-sided dice. 3 remains a core theme of the game, with the earliest possible game ending being day 3, and there being on average 3 power roles in the game.

Setup

	Die 1	Die 2	Die 3
Mafia	Roleblocker	Rolecop	Goon
Town	Doctor	Tracker	Cop
Town	Rolecop	Roleblocker	Jailkeeper

The setup is determined by randomly rolling three dice with 3 sides each. The first die selects the "mafia" Die. The other two rolls determine which of the two "town" roles are to be used. a "1" result on the second or third die is re-rolled.

The remaining 6 slots are filled with 5 Vanilla Townies and 1 Mafia Goon to create a 7-town, 2-mafia setup.

For example, if the die came up as "3,1,2" the setup would become 2x Mafia Goon vs. Town Doctor, Town Roleblocker, 5x Town Vanilla

Balance discussion/statistics

-The setup is generated with three rolls of a d3, and then vanilla townies and goons fill in the rest of the slots to 9 players; for a total of 12 potential combinations.  Each of the dice are rolled independently but simultaneously.  Scum always have day talk.

-Scum will always get the bolded of the three on their die, and the other two are offered as safe-claims to them. Town is randomly assigned one of the other two from each of their two die.

-*Setups are variable enough that you are unlikely to get the same setup twice.
-*12 potential setups makes player interest higher for standing users (outside the newbie queue) to come visit
-*No breaking claim strategies work as all dice are rolled independently (No Grid)
-*Scum have daytalk, which leads to higher satisfaction for scum players, especially newbies
-*Scum have safeclaims, and town is capable of getting scummy roles, making claiming the bolded roles not instantly a scum claim.
-*Retains the current 9 player size roster for games.
-*All roles are active.  There's no "passive BP confirmed town" bullcrap.
-*Players have a 1 in 3 (Hey there's lots of 3s) of rolling a PR; their faction will assuredly have PRs that interact.
-*The listmod can just have the dice tags in their PM template; and the setup generates itself upon sending
-*Games should still finish between day 3 (THREEEEEEE!) and 4.
-*On first pass, no setup is incredibly broken for one side or the other.
-*In my opinion, generally mirrors site meta better.
-'''Cons:'''
-*Potential for a tracker to get two names if tracking scum with a PR and kill (Matrix 6 avoids this by having it up against two goons)
-*Potential learning curve for ICs with the new setup, as it isn't an existing open/semiopen.
-*Mods will have to modify their boilerplate
