Forest Fire is a 9-player Open Setup that won the Micro category in the 2015 Open Setup Design contest.

Setup

• 2 Arsonists
• 6 Tree
• 1 Firefighter

Notes

• Arsonists have a single factional night action. They may choose to prime a single target, or to ignite all previously primed targets.
• Firefighter blocks the priming of a target ONLY on the night in which they are being primed.
• Trees become Tree-stumps upon being lynched, allowing them to continue posting in the thread.
• Firefighter, Trees, Tree-stumps, and Arsonists are all vulnerable to being primed and ignited.
• Players are not told when they are primed, Arsonists are not told if the priming was successful.
• Tree-stumps cannot vote, and do not count as a vote for endgame purposes.

Alive:

Electric Mango, Arsonist

 Dead:

Road2Victory, Tree
Duderonomy, Tree 
Lyner, Arsonist
iSocialism, Tree
Commander Shepard Firefighter 
Duke Nukem Pretzimus the Great, Tree 
Rafay, Tree 
Robert2424, Tree

 
The Rules

• The game is comprised of Arsonists and the Forest (Trees and Firefighter).
• The game is won when only one faction remains in the game, or nothing can prevent the same.
• During the Day phase, each player may speak and vote inthread.
• If a player receives the majority of the available votes during the Day, they are lynched.
• At deadline, a player with half-majority will be lynched.
• You may vote No Lynch.
• After the Day, the game goes to Night.
• The game thread is closed during the Night. The Arsonists may speak to each other at Night. All Active Roles may submit actions via PM at Night.
• The Arsonists can, as a faction, prime or ignite at Night.
• After the Night, the game goes to Day.
• Basic rules for maintaining the integrity of the game thread are in effect (i.e. players may not quote their Role PMs, nor may they discuss the game outside the game thread unless otherwise permitted, etc.)
• Mass role-claiming is allowed. (Good luck with that!)

Game Days will last as many real-life days as there are players alive.
Game Nights will last 48 hours but will include at least one weekday.
 
Addendum to rules: "If a day reaches the deadline without a lynch, the player with the most votes over a half-majority will be lynched. In the event of a tie, the first player to the most votes will be lynched."

Seems like it would be a waste to me but what'evs.

Math time!

 

We got 9 people, 2 of which are scum

 

Assuming the worst case, we lynched an innocent, and the scum perfectly primed every other guys everyday:

 

Night 1: 8 people left, 1 primed

Night 2: 7 people left, 2 primed

Night 3: 6 people left, ignite

Day 4: 4 people left, scum wins

 

We got at least 3 days bois, more drama pls

Given Rafay's recent contributions to the wildlife protection fund, and my utmost fascination with logix, I must change my vote.

 

Unvote: Rafay

Vote: Road2Victory

From my understanding via Kevin's words in the first post and the definition of an arsonist, they are essentially Sk's. So in order for one arsonist to win. He has to avoid being torched by the other one. The fact some people posting thinking that they be together makes me think they are more town. While those who haven't makes me more suspicious of them.

I see duderonomy is suddenly changing his vote by that I think he thinks along the line of what commander shephard voted me for.

Vote : Duderonomy

No, the Arsonists are working together so there is no chance of friendly fire.

They probably don't know who the other one is though for Day 1, unless Kevinh told them

I see duderonomy is suddenly changing his vote by that I think he thinks along the line of what commander shephard voted me for.

 

Ah, yes. Now that you know that I know what evil lurks in the heart of the highway, the tears come. I see them. Flow.

I do think they way everything is worded, kind of shows that the two arsonists might be sk's, more then mafia.

Kaziocore has been invited to replace Duke Nukem.

 

Deadline remains the same.

If you didn't read the sign-up thread, Kaziocore has declined.  Duke Nukem remains as a player until we get a replacement.

Vote duderonomy

 

Its more interesting if its a two way race

Not really for day one lynches. So I won't be joining ether wagon. My vote isn't hurting em. Unless he fears rope.

R2V, you got 12 hours left to convince me that Duderonomy is a better lynch candidate

Ahem, there is no good lynch candidates. 

I think lyner would be a better lynch vote

Vote lyner

No one will truly stand out and make a good lynch candidate Day 1. Lynches are still a good thing because lines are being drawn. When it comes to the end game a good mafia player can look back at the voting records and find patterns to solve the game.

 Lynches are still a good thing because lines are being drawn.

 

This exactly

 

There is also the advantage of tree stumps that can still contribute to the thread, can't see why we should do a no lynch
