Actually, no.  I dislike the Jailkeeper because they can do no wrong.

Blocking the cop isn't "doing wrong"?

It's an odd comment since it's actually the only role out of Cop, Doctor and Jailkeeper that can have a negative impact.

Missed it. Oh well, I'm leaving for about a week soon, so that'd be a problem anyway.

Replacement List, but only after June 1.

Yeah, but there's the second setup...

He doesn't know if he's in the second setup.  In any case it's no different from the doctor (his actions never have a negative effect) or a cop (always gets a useful result).

Generally speaking a jailkeeper is stronger than a doctor if there's no cop around (good - a doctor is way too weak on his own) and weaker than a doctor if there is one.  Their power is roughly comparable to a cop (he's good at stopping kills, but his inspection power is pretty weak because he can't tell whether a kill was prevented because he blocked someone or because he protected them).

Okay, that's fair.  No objections.

If I in as an IC, then

a. I will not be here for a week in a month or so

b. I will ask that the game be suspended until Tuesday, when I finish graduating and moving back home.
At this rate, I can run it over the weekends (because no day timer) but this is fine too :)

Can we use a setup that isn't horribly biased against the town this time?
Let's do that (I'm just a mod, the people's voices reign supreme). I'll be reading up the meanings of a Mafia role cop and those jailkeepers.

I'll rename the title to an experimental BM? As for now, debate on it. I'm all for any setup :3

Fixed the OP, we're actually all set but I'd prefer if everyone's comfy and ready (also, finals until Tuesday so if I was with Vector, I'd be high-fiving her over the matter...)

I'm not sure which version of mafia i'm thinking of when people say jailer. could someone confirm if this is right for what it can do?

Jailer is pro-town, and has a single-target night action, which it can use as many times at it wants, but only once per night.
Jailer's night action prevents anyone else from acting on their target, including cops, redirectors, etc. for the duration of the night.
Jailer's night action prevents their target from performing any night actions whatsoever for the duration of the night.
Jailer gets a private chat with the person they have jailed for the duration of the night.
Jailer is anonymous in this private chat.

is this correct?

In this context, points 1-3 are correct while 4-5 are not.

I've been doing a bit of thinking on the matter:
Spoiler: Suggestion (click to show/hide)
Seeing that the Mafia are fixed (or...there are 2 vanilla mafiosos, perhaps?), the only deviations are on the town side.

The Mafia faction has a...Cop, right? One that investigates people?

Anyway, seems pretty much balanced to me here--all depends on how the players do it in. The setups are a form of confirmed power roles (so there is no chance of a full vanilla game), if I'm not mistaken.
