There's a lot of cool custom game modes that could be made with Town of Salems extensive rolelist, feel free to share your ideas here, (also give it a cool name)
Here's one to get the ball rolling
Secret Wars:
4 Vigilantes
1 Mafioso
2 Blackmailers
8 Survivors
First thing to note is that Survivors start with majority, seeing as their only win condition is to survive both Town and Mafia are threats to them. This will encourage a Survivor claiming environment, admitting you are not one is admitting you have the potential to make a survivor lose and should therefore be lynched.
Second thing to note is the use of Mafioso instead of Godfather, this is so that non Survivor roles have no defence and can not be falsely confirmed. Upon the death of a Mafioso the Blackmailers get promoted to Mafioso
Third thing to note is the 2 Blackmailers, this is to a) silence people that are hurting the mafia in day chat b) subtly push people that are "too quiet" c) allow faking being blackmailed to throw off Vigis and the Survivor mob
Fourth thing to note is no Town Protects and no role blockers, the only thing that can prevent a kill is a Survivors vest
Fifth thing to note are the Vigilantes, with only 12 shots for resources, shots must be carefully timed. Scum reading for Vigilante is key, shooting a Survivor that has vested will confirm them as Survivor to that Vigilante, shooting a Mafia is ideal, shooting another Vigilante is catastrophic. (No Jailors to avoid anyone hitting jailed targets, no Veterans because the majority of the rolelist can't visit or doesn't have to visit)
The premise of Secret Wars is for both Town and Mafia to hide their identities while trying to destroy each other in secret. The Survivors don't care who wins just as long as they can get through this alive and they need to figure what's happening as soon as possible because everynight they don't vest up could be their last amd every day it could be them being pushed as a fake.
