ALL THINGS THAT ARE ARE OURS. BUT WE MUST CARE. FOR IF WE DO NOT CARE, WE DO NOT EXIST. IF WE DO NOT EXIST, THEN THERE IS NOTHING BUT BLIND OBLIVION.

AND EVEN OBLIVION MUST END SOMEDAY.
I kinda hate that half the votes are "Proposed a scummy plan"/"Thought my plan was scummy" but game has been kinda dead.

Fancy, Meen, anything on your minds since yesterday's vote or are you alright staking half the game on that read?

A start but it's still Assassin in the Palace with that. A doctor who knows who the President is won't ever protect anyone else, so the sniper just has to survive long enough to find the one player that doesn't die and then shoot them in the daytime (or get lucky by killing/yeeting the doctor). What's really needed is some extra give so that town won't risk throwing by playing Mafia more normally. Otherwise the best bet to completely frustrate the scum's ability to shoot the President is to toss the Mafia part and turbo people out at random (about 57% chance to get at least one scum that way, a not inconsiderable approximate 21.2% chance of winning that way, and this is with the 7 players 2 scum setup).

Probably one way to take inspiration from Assassin in the Palace without making it hazardous to play Mafia for town is to just have the king equivalent be a few power roles instead (which know each other, and which all of the other VT know as well). That replicates the guessing game for scum without it being fatal for town to make it too easy by way of saying too much with their reads and actions.

Oh... I didn't realize this was a pre-existing mafia setup. I thought it was based on Two Rooms and a Boom, and I was really curious how the same level of WIFOM could be achieved without splitting threads/hostage swapping

The inspiration felt pretty clear given the major parts of having a single townie that would cause town to lose if killed and a scum who could kill that townie in order to win but only had effectively the one shot. That game looks neat but you would definitely need to handle that like the soldiers games of yore with two threads that would change who was voting from day to day since scum is trying to get their killer to stay in the same room as the town president and not get traded out.
