This setup needs a name.

Also, is it balanced?
Alternating C9

AC9/DC9.

Yes, the town is punished for poor play. Why is that bad?

There would be no difference between poor play and good play on the townie's part, because the two groups he has to choose between are functionally identical. Nothing he does will possibly increase his odds of choosing correctly above 50%.

The mafia know that one of the other three is the townie, and the other two are masons, but not which is which. The masons know that one of the other three is the townie, and the other two are mafia, but not which is which. What's the difference?

Scum should definitely counter. If the cop investigated the one remaining townie, it's their only hope.

And a one-shot odd night deputy and a one-shot even night nurse. And make the scum werewolves 50% of the time.

Depends far too much on whether the Ninja is lynched D1. If that happens, it's almost auto town win. If not, it's almost a 5:2 vanilla game.

How about:

1 Track-immune Mafia
1 Watch-immune Mafia
1 Tracker
1 Watcher
3 Townies

Which is the case for C9/F11/any number of other setups too, just it's not necessarily obvious in this one. I would think that it's actually swingier from the Mafia's side - if they hit the Cop N1, they're in extremely good position.
Isn't that true of ANY 12p setup with a cop?

2 Mafia Goons
10 Sane Cops

Scum can hit a cop N1 pretty easily in that setup, but they still won't be in a good position.
