ODDRABBIT'S PROFILE

Well, I guess that was sort of a defensive comment, now that I think about it.

Jeroen, judging by previous meta statements, si super obsessed with the balancing of scum and town, as well as independants (though this game has none). There's no way there's more than three scum.

Hm... Four out of 13 players?

No. Jeroen has a very specific thing with balancing, he's very meticulous in his design. I think he would go with about three for a game of this size. If this game had the sixteen players he was aiming for, there would most likely be four mafia. But since it was only thirteen, it's unlikely.

That does go against InfectionFiles, though, so I'd recommend ignoring my instinct, and just going with what he thinks.

So, in the case of teams, let's do this. I can't say I completely understand the concepts, but can the same people be on the team multiple times in a row?

Assuming we have some good way of creating randomness that is allowed, my idea is to pick a random number between 1 and 286, which is the number of possible teams of 3 players. This number will correspond to the index of the team that we are picking. Let's use our player numbers on the sign-up sheet to number us from 1 to 13. Then teams can be indexed like so:
1 : 1 2 3
2 : 1 2 4
3 : 1 2 5
...
11 : 1 2 13
12 : 1 3 4
...

I do think this is a good idea. This is probably one of the more effective ways of figuring out scum, because I assume eventually scum with have to sacrifice someone to fail a mission. Not only will we know that the mission failed due to one of the three, but we might be able to isolate it out that way.

So, since the order that PlatinumAshes proposed is going
1 2 3
1 2 4
1 2 5
and so on, we can use the first two people as people we are at least moderately sure are innocent, and then consistently rotate the other people out, so that eventually someone would have to fail the mission.

...I think? That's my logic, it probably has a ton of holes.
