    S-FM America 2020 (15P)

    The S stands for Shitpost

    AMERICA 2020
    This setup is heavily experimental. Please make sure you read all of the special mechanics.

    Rules
    All standard S-FM Rules apply
    Pictures are allowed within reasonable size. Hopefully I don't need to specify what "reasonable size" is.
    Videos are allowed as long as autoplay is off.


    Mechanics
    48 hour days.
    24 hour nights or early ending nights at host discretion.
    The Republican and Democrat alignments share a night chat and know each others roles/identities.


    Special Mechanics
    One of the political parties will be deemed "corrupt" at random. There is no host meta here, this will be decided by a coin flip. The corrupt party will know they are corrupt, and vice versa.
    Each day, players vote on a player to convict rather than eliminate. Convicted players will still have access to their night abilities, but will lose their ability to vote on day 4. If a presidential candidate is convicted, the game ends and the convicted party loses. If the convicted party was not the corrupt one, town loses as well. This voting is majority only.
    On day 4 the presidential election begins. Instead of the typical voting process, players may vote anonymously for either President Donald Trump or for Joe Biden. The game will always conclude after day 4. If the corrupt politician is elected, the town loses.


    Wincons
    Republican Party: Elect Donald Trump as the President of the United States
    Democrat Party: Elect Joe Biden as the President of the United States
    American Populace: Elect the candidate that is not corrupt as the President of the United States

    Can the presidential candidates be audited?
    Is an audit permanent?
    Does the game start d1 or n1?
    If a corrupt president is charged with guilty, do they lose both votes or just one?
    The setup requires an Order of Operations.
    Does roleblock stop journalist articles from being published?

    I'll get back to you on this one but as of right now I'm thinking only the one from a design standpoint, but it may be a balance issue.

    Can the Debate Moderator only reveal once (and thus only make one chat)? It would be good to specify in the rolecard.

    I assume "what one voted for" means "innocent or guilty" for the purpose of investigative roles?

    My eternal question for setups of that kind: what incentive do scum have to act scummy? Especially considering how both the corrupt and non-corrupt parties should absolutely want to get their respective candidate elected in the exact same fashion (non-corrupts knowing for sure that the other party is corrupt and having to get their own party elected). So, to sum it up, how this is a game of Mafia and not something that belongs in the Other Games section (and for which I would definetly sign for because ITS SO COOL)?

    The thought is that since the corrupt (scum) faction has additional scum abilities, they would be using those abilities to try and gain an advantage. In theory this game is a 3v3+8+1, but town doesn't know which 3 is the scum.

    I can see a world where those corrupt abilities are currently very weak though, and I'm open to buffing them to incentivize scumplay.

    I can't think of an ability that incentivizes scumplay during the day, which is the main point (if corrupts only rely on their special night actions and otherwise just play like non-corrupts, this still isn't Mafia). If you have ideas, though, it would be good to see them.

    What would you think about giving the scum faction a target that only they know, and if they successfully get their target convicted they gain an extra 2 votes for their candidate?

    Edit: the problem then becomes what is the incentive for town to vote?

    Well, you brought up the issue yourself xD. A relatively easy fix for this would be to have scum need to innocent someone or to convict someone, and noone but them knows which one they need to do. That way, town has no incentive to abstain.

    Would that be enough to make scum play scum, though?

    Yeah that’s a good fix then the challenge for town becomes how do you know what the scum are trying to do?

    In a normal game town has to stop town from being lynched and lynch scum instead. Simple. In this game, town has to deduce whether or not the person on trial is scum, determine whether or not scum wants them to have their vote removed or not, and then determine whether or not to remove their vote.

    The first thing that comes to mind is "that's hard". We can see how it goes, though - at least the incentive is there. Does that sound good?

    I feel like that just gets gamed by the town universally just agreeing "yeah, lets just let all these people keep their votes" and then anyone who tries to suggest otherwise is labeled as scum. That shuts down counterplay.

    Re: S-FM America 2020 (15P)

    How is town supposed to determine which of the parties is corrupt?

    All of the corrupt powers are just optional buffs on top of their existing roles, meaning the corrupt party could choose to just not use any of their powers and therefore be effectively indistinguishable from the non-corrupt party.

    I am of the mindset that (barring rare edge cases such as analysis paralysis) giving roles/factions more options is a strict buff. And therefore when the corrupt are already able to be effectively indistinguishable from the non-corrupt but they also have buffed abilities on top of that, it just means that town has no way to actually scumhunt.

    Force scum to guilty/innocent people in order to win, not just in order to get bonuses.

    That is not an easy thing to solve.

    One preliminary idea is to change the core gameplay from town trying to figure out which party is corrupt to making it so one party is corrupt and is trying to hunt the non-corrupt party.

    Give the corrupt party a night-kill (can theme it as like, a "hit piece" or something) that removes a player.
    Corrupt party wins by either getting their candidate elected or eliminating the opposing party.
    Town's job then goes from trying to find which party is corrupt to trying to help the non-corrupt party blend in.

    This idea is very half baked but there might be something there. Basically taking the aspect of faking as a PR to take the fall for the real PRs and blowing that up into making that the core mechanic of the setup.

    I don't want the game to have a nightkill. That's one thing I'm certain would not fit the theme I'm going for.

    I'm going to take this back to the workshop and reimagine it.

    I am trying to avoid turning the setup into a regular one (to respect its spirit), so while it may not look like the optimal solution, I can't think of one that doesn't involve adding kills into the game.

    As for information for town, it does give some: scum will HAVE to try to dishonestly push or whiteknight people, which town can see and analyze. Perhaps it is not enough, perhaps it is not so fun either, but at least it is somewhat functional. Now uh, since we want setups to be fun, it might still not be optimal lol.

    Fix the State Prosecutor rolecard's quote tags

    What happens if the State Prosecutor gets his target convicted? Does he ascend to Heaven and leave the game? Or is he a kingmaker? (I advise against the latter)


    Did you have any ideas to fix the issues brought up during the last review while respecting your setup's spirit (see posts above)? Right now, scum do not have any incentive to act scummy.
    New idea that has not been brought up yet: What if the corrupt party needed to get more votes than the other one in order to win? It would make scum idleness suboptimal.

    Voting system has been reworked. There is now a traditional "lynch" that removes a player's ability to vote instead of outright killing them. If a presidential candidate is convicted, the game ends and that party loses. Scum now has to protect their president from the conviction, the other party has to protect their president from the conviction.

    I have (as of this post) made an adjustment to the setup to give the scum president one extra election vote per day that the town did not convict. This will force the town to find the scum and will force the scum to have to interact with the trains during the day. Because the vote is majority only, players will have to come to a consensus or risk scum getting too many extra votes.
