Black Flag Nightless is a 10-player Open Setup that uses a modified White Flag mechanic that applies to both factions: town lose if reduced to 3 members, Mafia if reduced to 1 member. It was designed to avoid the largest problem with non-Nightless games (Mafia can kill the leading members of the town), the largest problem with typical Nightless games (the positive feedback when town lynch correctly), and the largest problem with mountainous games (they can last a long time with nothing much happening, demoralizing both factions).

Discussion

This setup has a similar expected value to White Flag, 50% rather than 47.8% (slightly higher, because randomly voting towards the start of the game is more likely to hit scum due to the smaller player list). In practice, it's more townsided than White Flag due to the inability for scum to kill leading members of the town, but more scumsided because scum have more control over the lynch vote.
