Mechanics:
Each player starts with 2 coins.
At night, every player may steal 1 coin from another player.
Starting Day 2: Every player must pay a 1 coin tax per day.
If a player cannot afford the tax, they are executed.
Roles:
5x Taxpayer:
No special abilities.
1x Mint:
At night, chooses a player to gift a new coin. Cannot target self. Target is notified of this action. ["You were visited by the Mint. +1 coin."]
1x Collector:
At night, chooses a player to enforce upon an extra 1 coin tax the following day.
In addition, the collector also reads target's coin count. Target is notified of this action. ["You were visited by the Collector. -1 coin."]
1x Evader:
Does not pay daily tax.
1x Thief:
Steals two coins instead of one.
Rules:
Coin totals are not public information.
Conflicts resolved at random if target does not have enough coins.
Loser of roll receives message: ["You find nothing to steal."]
Standard day lynch.
No-Lynch disabled.
Self-voting disabled.
Mafia day chat enabled.
No mafia night kill.
collector is clearly the most important role in the game acting as a pseudo cop after corroborating night actions. the +1 coin tax is basically irrelevant or even a town downside as the stealing mechanic is inherently scum sided with one of them not even needing to pay tax.
thinking through collector and mint claiming immediately and creating a 7 man pool; mint and collector claim. mint gives collector a coin;
mafia steals 3 of mints coins so they die no matter what on day 2, collector is left with 4 coins after his steal and gets at least 2 days of pseudo cop checks
mafia steals 3 of collectors coins and can effectively kill them before day3 unless the thief is killed on day 1 or 2
mafia counterclaims one or two of the claims and makes a thunderdome, if we mislynch we mug the mafia cc at night and he dies to tax unless he's the evader, easy lynch the next day
there's still a lot that can go wrong with the tax and coin stealing some big brain might be able to puzzle solve that but claiming day 1 seems strong to me right now
man if the collector only sees the amount of coins going into the night they investigate they need at least 2 nights to even have 1 decent target. this setup is hilariously scumsided
