A risky little scum-hunting set up that requires both sides to play well as a team

### Town Roles

Emcee, Guardian, Lazy Tracker, Nervous Sleeper (x7), Sergeant

## Description

In this setup, the use of Nervous Sleeper is used as the "Villager" equivalent.

Understudies can convert to Headhunter or Ninja, bearing in mind that there must be at least one Ninja in the Mafia team to kill a Nervous Sleeper. They will need the original Ninja to die to appear as "not visiting" on the Lazy Tracker's report and can also kill Emcee safely. Once Ninja is dead, they will be able to convert and kill a Nervous Sleeper on the same night (conversion happens before kills, so they have become Ninja first before disarming an NS).

Headhunter works as a scum Vanilla Cop - they can check who is and isn't Nervous Sleeper.

Sergeant works as one-time nighttime Suspect Mind (unless they shoot town PR) as they will die upon shooting Nervous Sleeper. It is high risk, high reward shooting.

Mafia have to work around killing Emcee, as they can kill Emcee without being revealed when Headhunter is dead and Understudies have converted to Ninja.

Guardian works as a weak protective. It is a CCable role, but if Mafia successfully protect the night kill, they will die and the scum that CC'ed will be outted.

Lazy Tracker can find Power Roles, Headhunter and Understudies, cannot find Ninja and will not be able to find the converted Understudies. They should be scouting people that are open wolfing and have scum/PR potential. Ninjas appear as "not visiting".

Emcee and Lazy Tracker are the two easiest Power Roles to CC. Sergeant is unccable and Guardian is hard to cc if a PR like Lazy Tracker has been outed and "both guardian claims go on Tracker".

Guardian can also visit Emcee and confirm who they are.

Sergeant can think about shooting if town have condemned one or two mafia fairly quickly for information and should try and be as confident with their read as possible.

They should absolutely shoot if town voted incorrectly in MYLO and there is nothing to lose.

Guardian should take the bullet if Lazy Tracker or Sergeant get targeted. Remember, Guardian on Sergeant the night they shoot a Nervous Sleeper will result in the Guardian's death so it's not worth sacrificing yourself in that scenario.

Headstart gives Mafia a chance to use Headhunter to get a check or can choose not to use for the fear of being found by Lazy Tracker. It is not recommended for Guardian to use, but Lazy Tracker can use to find Headhunter. Sergeant should absolutely not use as they have no information about their shot.

## Trivia

* This set up is the sister/sequel set up to 3 Ninjas Walked Into A Bomb, which was run with NS/serg before it was changed to Bomb/Sheriff
* The title is based off the 1993 romance movie Sleepless In Seattle, starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan
* This is a simple copypasta about the set up: Tracker finds PRs and headhunter and understudies, but not Ninja! Headhunter is scum Vanilla cop (sees who is nervous sleeper and who isn't). Serg dies if they shoot nervous sleeper! Guardian won't protect sergeant from shooting wrong. You need Ninja to kill Nervous Sleepers!! Mafia can only kill Emcee with only ninjas left - headhunter and understudy beware! NS = claimable space/villy equivalent.
* This setup originally had two Ninjas and one Understudy, and a Tracker instead of a Lazy Tracker
