Greater Idea Mafia
Greater Idea Mafia is a semi-open setup, based on Great Idea Mafia, designed to be flexible while adding an extra layer of WIFOM and almost entirely removing the need for random votes.
In this setup, each player is randomly assigned two roles from the deck. They must immediately choose one to keep and discard the other. Once every player has chosen a role - and there is at least one antitown role in the game (if all town, abandon or reshuffle) - any roles with partners are informed of their partners. At the start of Day 1, every player's discarded role is publicly revealed.

Possibly Confusing Setup-Specific Things
- If only one Mason or Lover is chosen, then they are essentially a named Vanilla Townie.
- If more than 2 Masons or Lovers are chosen, then all the Masons form one Mason group, and all the Lovers form one Lover group (rather than separate pairs). The Nymphomaniac, however, creates a separate Lover group when it uses its action on Night 1. It is possible to unite the two groups if the Nymphomaniac targets an existing Lover, however.
- The One-Shot PGO is activated on the first night during which someone targets it. Any and all players who target it in that one night die.
- On the forum, it is strongly advised to only run setups that start with at least 50% Town roles. This should also be advertised to the players. Broken setups are no fun. On scumchat or Skype or a Marathon Day, go crazy. Crazy setups ARE fun.
- The Alien faction has only a one-shot factional nightkill for the whole game. The faction was designed to appear rarely but have powerful role actions.
- The Innocent Child can choose to reveal itself at whatever moment it chooses. It is not revealed automatically at the start of Day 1.
- The Enabler affects one randomly mod-selected other player. If the Enabler dies, its Enablee can no longer use any role powers other than a factional nightkill.
Mechanics
- Roles are assigned to players via the Random.org List Randomizer.
- Balance is explicitly not guaranteed.
Setup Design
This setup was invented as a Face-to-Face game at the UK Scummers Meet 2013, using a constantly expanded card deck. The setup is intentionally goofy and designed for slightly shorter, less serious games - at the meet, it was frequently played at night. The initial deck was designed by ChannelDelibird but was modified and then vastly expanded by all the other attendees of the UK meet.
A small expansion of 19 cards was added at the 2013 Baltimore meet by the attendees thereof, also intended to serve as the Greatest Idea Mafia deck.
