High scum-to-town ratio is offset by the "mafia loses after 4" setting.

### Town Roles

Bozoman, Bulletproof, Bus Cop, Candle, Lamb, Medic, Villager ×6

### Mafia Roles

Crook, Fixer, Freezer, Kingmaker, Ticketmaster

### Non-Default Settings

Informed Daystart, Punish Initiators, Mafia Loses After 4 Deaths

## Description

MLA stands for "mafia loses after," the setting that this setup has been built around. Most 17-player setups would only have 4 mafia roles, but this one has 5. However, the number of miscondemns that mafia needs to win is equal to the number of correct condemns that will cause them to lose.

## Optimal Play

### Town

Bozoman allows any power role that accidentally got lambed to claim Bozoman as a backup defence, but be aware that Bozoman also allows mafia to fakeclaim as dead power roles.

All power roles should be careful of voting first to avoid Ticketmaster.

#### Bulletproof

Try to get your vest pierced to offset the Lamb death. You can do this by softing Candle. However, if Medic gets a save, this is not necessary.

Beware of openly claiming while Kingmaker can still use their power, because this will often result in your vest getting nullified.

#### Bus Cop

Investigate as normal. Beware of players avoiding investigation by consistently avoiding voting the majority vote. Also, be careful of softing sided checks through votes, as you may be caught by the Ticketmaster.

After Candle day, you can see who voted the condemned player. This can be valuable information if a confirmed player died, since the voters are likely to have been mafia members. As such, try to live longer than the Candle, but if Crook is alive, this may not matter anyway.

#### Candle

Consider roleswapping with the Bulletproof to either stay alive (if Kingmaker is dead or has used power) or bait a conversion (if Kingmaker can still use their power). If you die unconverted, the mafia can coordinate a vote the next day to potentially get a free kill.

#### Lamb

Consider revealing a player who is avoiding voting the majority vote, because they are unable to get cop checked. Also, consider holding off using your power until there is a night where no one dies to maintain parity (i.e. Bulletproof gets pierced or Medic saves).

#### Villager

Play as normal, but if revealed as Bozoman, be prepared to respond to how you are revealed.

### Mafia

If Candle dies, consider having all mafia members vote the same player the next day to get a free kill. If Bus Cop is alive, Crook can overturn to avoid investigation.

#### Crook

Overturn the vote to save fellow mafia members from Bus Cop and/or to get a power role out while avoiding Medic, but be aware that you are confirming a town member in the process.

#### Fixer

Fix teammates who voted the condemned player to maximize Bus Cop immunity. Try to avoid being on the majority vote yourself, but be aware of a Lamb revealing you for being too hesitant to do so.

#### Freezer

Turn a poor Regent vote into a free kill, or maintain the pool of players who can be checked by Bus Cop.

#### Kingmaker

Can be used to nullify the Bulletproof's vest, or can be used on a towny player with bad reads who can get you a free kill in tandem with Freezer. Furthermore, Regent's presence may give mafia members more excuse to not vote the condemned player.

#### Ticketmaster

Can be used in tandem with Crook to learn a specific player's role.

## Variations

For a more vanilla setup, Fixer can be replaced with Godfather or Consigliere, and any of the other mafia roles can be replaced with Basic Mafia.

## Trivia

* This setup was adapted from a similar 15-player setup where the VT role was Shogun, Lamb was Hypnotist, and there was no Bozoman, Bulletproof or Freezer.
