Role setup rules
The roles must add up to the village's player count.
There can be at most one nekomata, one fox and one cupid, and either zero or two masons.
An immoral needs a fox, and a madman or fanatic needs a werewolf.
There must be at least one werewolf, and fewer werewolves than humans at the start.
Setups without a seer, medium or hunter are allowed. A setup that breaks these rules shows why and cannot be saved.
