Tracker Jailer Follower (TJF)
Semi-open 13 Player NOC
This is a good game for new players to come learn and ask questions about mafia! Players of all skill level are encouraged to sign up.
Link to General Circus Mafia Rules (please read them if you are new to Circus mafia).
The only difference between this game's rules and the general rules is that a tied vote will result in a no-lynch in this game.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This game will randomly pick one of five simple open setups to use as the setup.
Setup Design Philosophy
Notice that Tracker, Jailkeeper and Follower each show up in 3 out of the 5 setups. Every setup is guaranteed to have one of these 3 roles in it. Hence why this open setup is called TJF, because it was designed around these roles.
All three of these roles receive a soft-guilty when targeting the mafia player who makes the kill. A tracker sees the killer visiting a dead player. The Jailer blocks the kill, but doesn't know for sure if their target made the kill. The Follower sees their target make a kill action which in this game is a hard guilty.
Other Setup Rules / Info
The mafia team can NOT use their personal action and the kill on the same night.
Here is a summary of the results received by the Town Follower (if there is one):
