People are sick of Closed Setups. I am, so whoever opposes. I don't care.
I'm sure you all know this by now but let's play the first ever osu! True Lovers Mafia. For those of you who don't know it's been proven that this mafia setup is a 50% chance of either faction winning. This is proven by this simple formula.
There are few things we need to clarify first.
Rules:
Day 1 Start!
Night 1 / Day 2 Start!
Night 2 Start!
Day 3 Start!
Notes:
Oh right, to also prevent bias, I will not be the person who will allocate the roles. It will be my brother who doesn't know anyone here or what Mafia is. It will be chosen by the order of which you signup, the number will then be taken and I will say "Choose two numbers who will be Mafia." The Mafia and Town Lovers will be linked together by whatever number he decides to link together.

*Let S be scum pairings and
*Let Pa be total pairings
P(Town win) = 1 - S/Pa = (Pa-S)/Pa
If given the reverse.
P(Mafia win) = S/Pa
Base Case: Given a 1 - 1 LyLo (two pairs of Lovers, one of which has scum in it), the chance that Town will win is the chance of lynching a member of the scum pair, or 1/2.
This is 1 - 1/2 = 1/2.
Given that the rule holds for S scum and PA players, it is necessary to show that it holds for S scum and PA+1.
P(Town win,S,PA+1) = (S/(Pa+1))(P(Town win,S-1,Pa)) + ((Pa+1-S)/(Pa+1))(P(Town win,S,Pa))
=(S/(Pa+1))(Pa-(S-1))/(Pa) + ((Pa+1-S)/(Pa+1))((Pa-S)/Pa)
=(SPa - S2 + S + Pa2 - SPa + Pa - S - SPa + S2)/(Pa(Pa+1))
=(Pa2 + Pa - SPa)/(Pa(Pa+1))
=(Pa+1-S)/(Pa+1)
...which is precisely the original formula, with (Pa+1) swapped in for Pa. Thus completes the proof.
Letting P(Town win) = 1/2), this means:
1/2 = (Pa-S)/Pa
Pa/2 = Pa - S
S = Pa/2
Hence, this setup has a 50% chance of either side winning.
*Let Pa be total pairings
P(Town win) = 1 - S/Pa = (Pa-S)/Pa
If given the reverse.
P(Mafia win) = S/Pa
Base Case: Given a 1 - 1 LyLo (two pairs of Lovers, one of which has scum in it), the chance that Town will win is the chance of lynching a member of the scum pair, or 1/2.
This is 1 - 1/2 = 1/2.
Given that the rule holds for S scum and PA players, it is necessary to show that it holds for S scum and PA+1.
P(Town win,S,PA+1) = (S/(Pa+1))(P(Town win,S-1,Pa)) + ((Pa+1-S)/(Pa+1))(P(Town win,S,Pa))
=(S/(Pa+1))(Pa-(S-1))/(Pa) + ((Pa+1-S)/(Pa+1))((Pa-S)/Pa)
=(SPa - S2 + S + Pa2 - SPa + Pa - S - SPa + S2)/(Pa(Pa+1))
=(Pa2 + Pa - SPa)/(Pa(Pa+1))
=(Pa+1-S)/(Pa+1)
...which is precisely the original formula, with (Pa+1) swapped in for Pa. Thus completes the proof.
Letting P(Town win) = 1/2), this means:
1/2 = (Pa-S)/Pa
Pa/2 = Pa - S
S = Pa/2
Hence, this setup has a 50% chance of either side winning.

Rules:
- All former rules that applied in LS games are said hard rules. A violation of them, however, will end with the game to be terminated as it will not prove the above rule correctly. I will also make sure that it is enforced that you will not be able to play ANY games of osu! Mafia for a pretty long time. I mean it.
- This is an Open Setup game. It will consist of 2 Mafia Lovers and 6 Town Lovers. Lovers are divided into four pairs. Both scum are individually paired with a town player.
- This is a Nightless setup. There is no night phase so there is no fear that town will be killed at night. However, I'll will give a certain time break once day ends. This may range from an hour to a day.
- Mafia will get a QuickTopic with both of them and Lovers will get a QuickTopic. Also Town Lovers will not know their Lovers alignment.
