Polygamist

Polygamist is an Open setup which is mainly characterized by a group of four lovers, who happen to be scum.

The original idea was created by Adel.

Setup

• 4 Goon Lovers
• 8 Lovers

• Nightless

---

Notes

• The Goon Lovers are all lovers together, so if any one dies they all die.
• The Townie lovers are tied together in pairs. Each pair dies together.

---

Examples

• Open 76 Town Win on Day 2.

Discussion on Game Balance

At the end of Open 88 it was proposed that this setup inherently favors Town. By randomly lynching, the Town has ~60% chance of winning. However, truly random lynches will not occur in practice because scum cannot and will not lynch themselves; further, it was noted that scum voting each other up to L-1 would make them consistently look great under vote analysis. It was also discussed that massclaim should occur either early Day 2 or very late Day 1 to keep scum Lover claims as implausible as possible.
