Heh. There's no reason not to claim town right away if you're town, which makes it a game of pure chance.

If there's a framer, it has no effect and that means the town has 66.67% win chance.

Escort blocks one of the non-townies. 50% chance to block the killer.
Of the remaining 50%, the mafia has 33.33% chance to hit the doctor and of the remaining 66.66% of that, there's 50% chance that they hit the target that was healed by the doctor.

So 50+50/3 = 66.67%

If there's a consort, it becomes:

Escort blocks one of the non-townies. 50% chance to target the killer. 33.33% chance that consort blocks escort, so 50*2/3 = 33.33% chance to block the killer
Of the remaining 50%, the mafia has 33.33% chance to hit the doctor and of the remaining 66.66% of that, there's 50% chance that they hit the target that was healed by the doctor and 33.33% thereof, the doctor gets blocked and the heal doesn't take effect.

50*2/3+50/3*2/3 = 44.44%

I might be off a bit somewhere, but the gist of it is that if all townies simply say "I'm not in the mafia" on day 1, the chance that they all survive night 1 is greater than 50% and they can all vote to lynch a mafia on days 2 and 3. If they do anything else, they reduce their chance to win.

Sheriff and Framer are useless in this setup if the town plays optimally.

Erm... this is supposed to be a guide for new hosts.

Oh alright, that makes more sense. It wasn't clear from the post though. Thought you were just posting a troll setup :p
