McPick 2

<- Back to Semi-Open Setup List

*Welcome to McDonalds, Todays meals are a McPick2 of Consig + Cop, Hunter + Poacher, Headhunter + Profiler and Hitman + Rifleman with a side of 3 basic villagers and one miller. At minimum and at max two of these pairs you can choose. May I take your order? Bro I just want nuggets...*

## McPick 2

### Town Roles

Cop, Hunter, Miller, Profiler, Rifleman, Villager

## Description

Each power role knows their match, and wants to deduce the other pair. "Can I get a McPick 2".

## Algorithm

Direct players to this wiki page and use random.org to generate a number from 1-6. Then, use the setup listed with the number generated.

Alternatively, pick 2 pairs of the following (with no repeats of a pair) and add 1 Miller and 3 Villagers:

**Cop & Consigliere**

**Hunter & Poacher**

**Profiler & Headhunter**

**Rifleman & Hitman**

The setup always contains 1 Miller and 3 Villagers. The two town power roles are chosen at random out of Cop, Hunter, Profiler, and Rifleman. One role can not be used twice. The two mafia roles are chosen based on the town power roles: if Cop exists, Consigliere exists; if Hunter exists, Poacher exists; if Profiler exists, Headhunter exists; if Rifleman exists, Hitman exists.

## Optimal play

### Cop

Play regularly, yet acknowledging there is a Consigliere and countering that. Follow the cop is not possible due to the lack of a protective role. You may be counterclaimed due to miller being in setup, which is a main reason why it exists. Fight against these claims, because a hitman cannot shoot you

### Consigliere

Play as you would if a cop were in the game: Trying to find out your partner, trying to trick the cop (but they also know your presence), etc. Convert similarly to JacKing Off; Only convert when your partner is dead (basic maf death = miller) or the cop is dead. Due to your weakness and expendability, you can fake and investigative role to attempt to get a mislynch.

### Hunter

If you are condemned day 1, killing is not always optimal, as there is a 1/3 chance that there is a Hitman who can shoot the next day and end the game. If you are cc'd in 5 man cylo, try your best to get the other mafia out, as your cc is likely poacher, who should be condemned last or the game is over.

### Poacher

Try to get voted before your comrade, and avoid rifleman shot at all costs, yet be careful of uncertainties on day 1, as there is a 1/3 chance of a rifleman being alive and another chance of ending the game on the spot be killing your partner on post-vote.

### Rifleman

Know that there is a hitman in the game, you must try to shoot them before they shoot anyone, as they do not want to shoot on day 1 due to uncertainty about who is their partner.

### Hitman

Do not kill on day 1, hold out until day 2 to shoot, and if you are condemned, take your best guess and shoot.

### Profiler

Always search for villager; non-villagers are the other PR, miller or either mafia, really just a 50-50 at the start, be wary about miller/consig confusion.

### Headhunter

Similar to profiler, search for villager; non-villagers are either pr or miller, and a 2/3 chance is solid, kill then on day 3, and make sure to keep the profiler claim in the open.
