Even with an odd number of plyaers, I'd stick with the jailer role, since he can also block a mafia killer. Allowing the tailor to self-target doesn't really change anything, so let's do that, to minimize the number of exceptions.
So, revised setup:
1 mafia tailor (inverts investigation results)
1 mafia tracker
1 town cop
1 town jailer (cannot self-target)
5 vanilla town
Mafia wins with equal numbers, so they need 3 mislynches. Town needs 2 successful lynches (duh).
Thinking about it, I'm not sure if this is actually very easy for the mafia. Only 5 players are actually mislynchable, given the two power roles given to town. And cop results can still mostly be trusted, even if the tailor adds some doubt.
Town did win a flawless win with 2/9 mafia in WW4, but that was a closed setup, so no confirmed innocents. In WW8, we had a closed setup with 2/11 mafia, and the mafia won. They had some strong powers to help them out, though. In WW23, we had 2/10 mafia, a closed setup, and again the mafia won. In WW29, we had 2/11 mafia, and the town won flawlessly, and that was an open setup with a cop, which definitely played a big part in clearing a lot of suspects.
So I guess my proposed setup is still easier for the mafia than WW29, but with so few players, it might be better to use a closed setup?
Another alternative would be to just drop the jailer from the above setup, so the town just has a cop and six vanilla roles. That is probably quite fair.
You don't need account to view EpicMafia setups.
I'll probably go with you original set-up and just subtract off a villager (which hurts the village). It's still town sided and it's closest to your "old" step-up which people liked.

Well there was no sign-up rush after I dropped out, so I reckon Commodore was just trolling. But in any case I'll stick to my word and stay out

This is what, 20:00 GMT? I'm not sure if Midwestern time is the same as Central time or Mountain time. Maybe you could just post what time it is Midwestern time right now, so we can compare it to the forum clock.
If you know what I mean.

Midwestern time is Central time. In fact my sources never used "Midwestern" time in the first place.
It is 8:47 Central time.

In 50 minutes I think. I think we need to wait MJW's go in any case.
