Closed Setups

[Poriomania]

I know that the SC2Mafia meta is big on open setups and role cards.

Given that my home site regularly runs closed setups, I wonder if it could be viable as a S-FM game.

Closed Setups is a setup where the setup isn't revealed to the public. Each role is secret, and players can falseclaim anything.

Players will have to rely on post analysis more than role flips in a closed setup. Ton more skill intensive too.

Is there any interest for this/how would I go around hosting one?

Wouldn't be a Mafia game. Guessing game.

I'd love to give it a try. Obviously the setup would go through Borkbot/Cryptonic so that the players can trust it is a real scenario. But I am confident that plenty of people would enjoy this idea.

[Poriomania]

Fair enough.

I'll make sure to get to one of them soon.

Hmm This seem like a great idea

Closed setups are fine. Just make a setup like this: https://www.sc2mafia.com/forum/showth...847-S-FM-Radio ;where the role list is all Random/Hidden Any, then follow the same procedure for a normal setup. When being judged, you will be required to disclose a role list to an SFM moderator.

Unless you mean that even the possible roles are hidden, then the answer is no since every player must be able to know what every role is capable of by the displayed rolecards.

Yeah, just shipped a PM right now.

Thanks.

Just something to know when you are making it, Hidden setups are mad OP for non-town. Keep that in mind.

Particularly with non analytic player bases.

The problem comes with it's impossible to know how many scum for each faction and impossible to know if your host is intelligent enough to make a setup that is balanced while still being not-so-standard enough that the setup can't be meta'd.

Even though something might slip by us occasionally, that's what Cryptonic and I are here for ;)
