Lynches give alignment and role reveal assuming they aren't acting or janitized.
There can be two of the same type of town power role. (Sleepwalker & Doctor are not included in this.)
Last Wills & Death notes are allowed.
Lynch is Plurality + Majority

Q&A

Spoiler : :

Q: Angel's target is Lover and they fall in love, what do?
A: Lover gains the Angel's win-con of seeing their target live until the end. In a sense, it becomes a weird "two person survivor."

Q: How exactly is a carol created?
A: 1. Randomly pick one of eligible 'non-town players' (Mafia + Angel/Lover) then pick two random players from everyone who was alive at some point the night of the carol. A player's name can still appear in a carol if they're dead, as long as they were killed that same night the carol was created. A player's name cannot appear twice.

Q: Caroler doesn't seem like it has a high probability of it's carol actually REACHING the target?
A: This is intentional. The nature of this setup is such that on the first night only 7/14 players will be eligable normally. This number increases to 8/14 with a heartbreaker. Carols can be extremely powerful. They can also be faked ;)

Q: List-Maker is OP REeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
A: List-Maker is indeed an extremely strong role. In this setup however, we're looking at 3 different factions and a role-blocker: this lowers the reliability of each check a bit.

Q: What if scum kills a lover who loved a heartbreaker who loved Stealthbomber16 who was being protected by an Angel??
A: All four of them die. This is the nuclear, unlikely scenario.

Q: Why does Lover get to pick their target, but Angel doesn't?
A: That's just how it be.

Q: Why do Lover and Heartbreaker pick their targets on night one; isn't it normally randomly given from the beginning?
A: I think the roles would be perceived as more fun when the players can make reads as to who they want to be locked in with. For example, if someone who is almost lynched claims a power role towards the end of D1: A Heartbreaker might be inclined to love them to ensure that a town power role dies if they're lynched. Likewise, a Lover may want to target someone who is scummy in order to avoid being targeted by the Mafia.
