There's an invisible parity cop somewhere

### Town Roles

Crier, Witness x2, Shogun (x1 or x2), Tapioca (x2 or x1), Villager (x4 or x0), Miller (x0 or x4)

### Non-Default Settings

Informed day start, Hidden setup, Reveal alignment only

### Creator

This setup can be played with 13 or 8 players. Scroll down to see the 8 player version.

### 13p version

This 13p semi-open setup is 1 of 2 possibilities with equal probability:

1. 1crier+2witness+2tapioca+1shogun+4villager+3mafia
2. 1crier+2witness+1tapioca+2shogun+4miller+3conman

Codes:

1. villager-mafia world: 57a4b51a1b75a3b42a1b50a2b1611085230a2
2. miller-con man world: 51a1b42a2b50a1b60a3b32a4b1611085230a2

Mechanical notes:

* The setup is alignment-reveal only, so it's extremely important to reveal your role if you are getting condemned.
* If you see yourself as Miller, you are Tapioca.
* Miller/Tapioca/Mafia flip mafia-aligned on condemn.
* Con Man flips town-aligned on condemn.
* Every night kill (including Miller) flips as town-aligned.
* Witness reveals are absolute.

General advice: The 2 setups are perfectly symmetric with respect to alignment flips on condemn (and night kills always flip blue). The villager+mafia vs miller+conman dynamic makes condemned villager claims equally likely to be town or mafia regardless of red/blue alignment on condemn. Town has 3 MCS and acts as "global parity cop."

Town advice:

* Crier self-confirms and should never out unless about to be condemned or it's cylo (crier messages in general are risky, but I guess there's an argument to be made that crier should anonymously call the condemns). Don't let yourself get condemned as crier, it will confuse town.
* Tapioca/shogun are self-aware named roles which flip red/blue respectively on condemn and may be potential confirms. In principle, town can determine the setup if all tapiocas and shoguns reveal their roles and no one counterclaims (since you will either see 1shogun/2tapioca or 2shogun/1tapioca).
* Witness is the only role that has a post-vote action on condemn. Upon being condemned, they may choose to privately reveal the role of a player to another player of their choice. That reveal is absolute.

Mafia advice: At least 1 mafia-aligned player should consider claiming tapioca or shogun. If you claim tapioca in miller-conman world, you hide the setup from town (e.g. if there are 2 tapioca and 2 shogun claims), but your alignment on death doesn't match your claim. If you claim shogun in miller-conman world, you reveal the setup to town (e.g. if there is 1 tapioca claim and 3 shogun claims), but your alignment on death matches your claim. Similarly, if you claim shogun in villager-mafia world, you hide the setup from town (e.g. if there are 2 tapioca and 2 shogun claims), but your alignment on death doesn't match your claim. If you claim tapioca in villager-mafia world, you reveal the setup to town (e.g. if there are 3 tapioca claims and 1 shogun claim), but your alignment on death matches your claim.

### Town Roles

Witness, Shogun (x0 or x1), Tapioca (x1 or x0), Villager (x4 or x0), Miller (x0 or x4)

### 8p version

A miniature version of this setup with a Janitorial feel can be played with 8 players.

TLDR courtesy of Firefly7: "To explain things: either mafia flip blue and town flip red, or mafia flip red and town flip blue. Shogun knows town flips red, Tapioca knows town flips blue. there is a Witness, either way, who always flips blue. Mafia's night kills will always appear blue."

Tapioca and Shogun immediately know the setup. However, there is the possibility that they will be killed on night 1, allowing mafia members to claim either role uncced. As in the 13p version, there is a greater risk of claiming the role which would keep the setup hidden from town (in the sense that, if condemned, your flip will not match your claim).

Witness is the only role that has a post-vote action on condemn. Upon being condemned, they may choose to privately reveal the role of a player to another player of their choice. That reveal is absolute.

Town has one MC.

Mechanical notes:

* The setup is alignment-reveal only, so it's extremely important to reveal your role if you are getting condemned.
* If you see yourself as Miller, you are Tapioca.
* Miller/Tapioca/Mafia flip mafia-aligned on condemn.
* Con Man flips town-aligned on condemn.
* Every night kill (including Miller) flips as town-aligned.
* Witness reveals are absolute.

### 7p version (experimental)

A different miniature version of this setup with a Multemplar feel can be played with 7 players. Here, town has one MC. Mass claiming d1 seems optimal, with crier claiming shogun or tapioca in hopes of surviving until day 2.

1 of 2 possibilities with equal probability:

1. 1crier+2tapioca+1shogun+1villager+2mafia
2. 1crier+1tapioca+2shogun+1miller+2conman

Codes:

1. villager-mafia world: 50a2b51a1b75a2b42a1b57a1
2. miller-con man world: 50a1b51a1b42a2b32a1b60a2

Essential settings:

* Hidden setup
* Informed day start
* Alignment reveal
