Kaiveran/SSFAS

Name: Twofold C9++ (C18++) Setup Size: Large Players: 16 Setup Type: Untested Large Large Semi-Open Multiball Designers: Kaiveran LlamaFluff

Two-Fold C9++ (alternatively known as C18++) is an experimental 16 player semi-open setup designed by Kaiveran with some tweaks by LlamaFluff that is currently in trial runs as an official Open setup. Inspired by the previous Two-Fold C9, this game uses a randomization system similar to C9++ but in a Multiball, Modular Open format. Role modules are distributed to the town that work against a specific scumteam.

In 2019, the setup was extensively rebalanced based on player feedback, and an extra VT was added, in order to ensure a majority-town Day 2 even in a "fully-loaded" game (i.e both teams being Tier 2+.)

Mechanics

• This setup starts on a 'Night 0' with no kills. Instead, players are to confirm and scum are to choose their power roles. The game then progresses to Day 1.
• Cops/Seers are guaranteed to be sane
• A scumteam knows who their Traitor/Defector is, and vice versa.
• If a scumteam is eliminated, the Traitor/Defector aligned with them suicides.

Generating the Setup

First, roll 7 random numbers 1-100 to determine Mafia roles and anti-mafia modules. Each number is turned into a letter as follows:

• 1-50 = T
• 51-70 = C
• 71-85 = D
• 86-100 = I

Role modules are accumulated depending on how many of each letter are generated. For example, when looking at the "C" list, look at how many Cs you received and add the corresponding roles. If you get no Cs, do not add any roles from the C list (exception: "T" list has a set of roles to be added if 0 Ts are generated). If you draw more letters than are listed in a category, just reroll and try again.

Mafia Roll

Scum Roles

POWER TIER 1

Tx7 = Goon + (Godfather/Ninja) + TOWN 1-Shot Doctor

Tx6 = Goon + (Godfather/Ninja)

Tx5 = Goon + (Godfather/Ninja)

POWER TIER 2

Tx4 = 2 Goons + (Roleblocker/Watcher)

Tx3 = 2 Goons + (Roleblocker/Watcher)

POWER TIER 3

Tx2 = Goon + (Roleblocker/Watcher) + (Godfather/Ninja)

Tx1 = Goon + (Roleblocker/Watcher) + (Godfather/Ninja)

0 Ts = (Roleblocker/Watcher) + Godfather + Ninja

Abilities are chosen pregame.

C Roles

Cx1 = 1-Shot Cop

Cx2 = Cop

Cx3 = Cop, 1-Shot Cop

Cx4 = 2 Cops

Cx5 = 2 Cops, 1-Shot Cop

Cx6 = 3 Cops

D Roles

Dx1 = Doctor

Dx2 = Jailkeeper

Dx3 = Jailkeeper, Doctor

Dx4 = Jailkeeper, Doctor, 1-Shot Doctor

Dx5 = Jailkeeper, Doctor, Doctor

I Roles

Ix1 = Tracker

Ix2 = Tracker, 1-Shot Tracker

Ix3 = 2 Trackers

Ix4 = 2 Trackers, 1-Shot Tracker

Ix5 = 3 Trackers, 1-Shot Tracker

Wolf Roll

Now repeat the first step, now rolling for the following Werewolf roles and anti-wolf modules.

Scum Roles

POWER TIER 1

Tx7 = Werewolf + (Alpha/Stealth) Wolf + TOWN 1-Shot Guardian

Tx6 = Werewolf + (Alpha/Stealth) Wolf

Tx5 = Werewolf + (Alpha/Stealth) Wolf

POWER TIER 2

Tx4 = 2 Wolves + Wolf (Roleblocker/Watcher)

Tx3 = 2 Wolves + Wolf (Roleblocker/Watcher)

POWER TIER 3

Tx2 = Goon + Wolf (Roleblocker/Watcher) + (Alpha/Stealth) Wolf

Tx1 = Goon + Wolf (Roleblocker/Watcher) + (Alpha/Stealth) Wolf

0 Ts = Wolf (Roleblocker/Watcher) + Alpha Wolf + Stealth Wolf

C Roles

Cx1 = 1-Shot Seer

Cx2 = Seer

Cx3 = Seer, 1-Shot Seer

Cx4 = 2 Seers

Cx5 = 2 Seers, 1-Shot Seer

Cx6 = 3 Seers

D Roles

Dx1 = Guardian

Dx2 = Wizard

Dx3 = Wizard, Guardian

Dx4 = Wizard, Guardian, 1-Shot Guardian

Dx5 = Wizard, 2 Guardians

I Roles

Ix1 = Stalker

Ix2 = Stalker, 1-Shot Stalker

Ix3 = 2 Stalkers

Ix4 = 2 Stalkers, 1-Shot Stalker

Ix5 = 3 Stalkers, 1-Shot Stalker

Inter-Scum Balancing

Now, compare the Power Tiers between the Scum, and award one side a helpful role module based on the difference. Additional role modules should go to a Mafia Goon/Normal Wolf slot.

• Tier 1 vs. Tier 2 = Tier 1 team gets a Traitor (Mafia) or Defector (Wolves)
• Tier 1 vs. Tier 3 = Tier 1 team gets a Traitor/Defector plus a JOAT module (Watch, Roleblock, Ninja Kill)
• Tier 2 vs. Tier 3 = Tier 2 team gets a (Strong Will/2-Shot Watch-Immune) module.

Power Notes

Cop only detects Mafia, Seer only detects Werewolves.

Doctor only stops the Mafia kill, Guardian only stops the Wolf kill

Trackers and Stalkers work a little differently; they reliably track all actions, except kills. The Wolf kill is invisible to Trackers, and the Mafia kill is invisible to Stalkers.

Jailkeepers block all actions except the Werewolf kill and save their target from Mafia kills, where Wizards block all actions except the Mafia kill and save their target from Werewolf kills.

Finalization

Determine the amount of Wolves and Mafia, then add a number of townies until the game has 16 players.

Then, distribute the role modules, using a randomized integer sequences, to all players, according to the following rules:

• No player may have more than two role modules.
• No player may have two modules belonging to the same category of roles.
• No player may have any role module that counters their own team. Traitors/Defectors also may not receive powers that work against their favored team.
