Multiball

Multiball is a term for setups that have more than one informed minority. Serial Killers and other one-person groups do not count; the term is specific to scum groups of multiple players.

Multiball setups introduce the necessity for the scum to themselves scum-hunt for opposing factions, which can make it easier for them to appear town, but can also make them appear suspicious if a late-game votecount analysis points to them only catching scum of a single faction. Then can also of course kill each other, which tends to help town and is often used for balance.

Scumgroups in a multiball game don't necessarily have to be the same size; groups with fewer members tend to be balanced with more power.

Multiball games can wind up as kingmaker scenarios and draws.
