Chaotically deceptive setup where not even Sheriff claims are confirmed town

### Town Roles

Cop, Sheriff, Speaker ×6, Surveyor, Vanilla Cop

## Description

Taking inspiration from Censorship, **New Sheriff in Town** plays with the idea of a Yakuza death being indistinguishable from a normal mafia nightkill when RR Off is active.

Other than the possibility of an Anarchist frame, Cop's checks are absolute. There is no guarantee, however, that the Cop or any of their NS checks will remain as town for the entire game.

Surveyor and Vanilla Cop help town get a better sense of the current gamestate: the former through learning what roles are alive, and the latter by checking to see who has (or hasn't) been converted by Yakuza.

Sheriff, a normally unccable role, can be CC'd by Contingency Planner if they don't shoot day 1. However, if they shoot a Speaker, town won't learn the role of that day's condemned player!

## Optimal Play

### Town

#### Cop

NS checks are confirmed town, but sided checks could have been framed.

Note that Yakuza could convert one of your NS checks.

#### Sheriff

Shooting day 1 confirms you as the Sheriff, but if you shoot a Speaker, no one will learn the role of the player condemned that day.

If you don't shoot day 1, the Anarchist might tamper with your gun, or the Contingency Planner might shoot you to claim Sheriff themself. Be sure to quickly shoot your CCs.

#### Speaker

You are the vanilla town role of the setup. Try to avoid being condemned day 1 to maximize town's info.

#### Surveyor

You can learn which roles are still alive, which can out a fakeclaiming mafia, but town cannot guarantee that you yourself are the real Surveyor.

You can also learn whether Yakuza has converted anyone, but it is impossible to know what role got converted, unless that role claims to be alive. (For example, if you learn that Cop isn't alive, that could mean that they were either killed OR converted.)

#### Vanilla Cop

Your sole function is to check players to see if the Yakuza has converted them, since basic Mafia is the only vanilla role possible in the setup. Oftentimes, you should check power role claims or NS checks, as those are prime Yakuza targets.

### Mafia

The scumteam can NK on the same night Yakuza dies to make it look like Yakuza was the player killed by mafia. That way, town has no idea whether Yakuza has used yet.

Mafia members can claim power roles more easily because of RR off and the ability to claim that you were framed if checked by Cop.

#### Anarchist

You can use your investigation to simulate a Janitor clean if you check the nightkill, but you can also use it normally.

Your roleblock can block any of the 3 info roles for one night.

Your sabotage and steal both weaken the Sheriff if you manage to deduce them before they shoot.

Your frame is useful for allowing mafia to claim to be framed.

#### Contingency Planner

You can shoot a Sheriff claim to CC them, or you can hold your gun until CYLO to win. If you aren't planning on claiming Sheriff, shooting early is a death sentence.

#### Yakuza

Standard Yakuza play typically consists of CCing a PR then suiciding after you win the CC war. You can do the same thing here, or you can proactively convert on the same night the Contingency Planner gets their gun to make it look like you were the nightkill.

Try to convert someone that you think won't get checked by Vanilla Cop.
