Jungle of Bullshit

Name: Jungle of Bullshit Setup Size: Micro Players: 5 Setup Type: Micro Open 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 eliminated Day 1, they do not die and must instead immediately kill two other players.
• If a mafia member is eliminated 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 eliminated on Day 2.

Variants

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

EV

The EV is always between 40% and 50%, assuming random eliminations 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).
