Alright. Let’s just start thinking about the anti-claim. I’ve thought about it, and I still hate embodying it into a role. The argument is that the players should still be able to function despite the anti-claim’s existence, but I simply disagree due to difference in taste. I can’t do it.
For me, anti-claim has to be public. Even in the “Many Systems Setup”, it is public. (I never said it is fair; I just said it is public.) This is one of the lowest forms of kindness that I give to my players. Misdirection is acceptable, but disinformation and lack of information sucks, period.
I find it acceptable to have an anti-claim system that depends on the existence(s) of a (couple of) role(s), but -having been a victim of a BS anti-claim that is “2-Shot Multi-Target Poisoner”- I have come to bear a great grudge against any hidden macro mechanic. In particular the ones which are punishing to the players.
Nonsense
Paper flips through the air, distracting you from identifying the person whom you bumped on.
Who is the person in front of you? What was their gender? How tall were they? You can’t seem to remember them.

This is the obvious strategy, and I will probably do something to that extent, but I think limiting the number of traitors and pairing them with external pressure like a countdown would get more of the tense, mysterious atmosphere that I want to cultivate.
This could honestly be handled with secondary win conditions that force players to think short-term.
the only other idea i could think of without actually sitting down and discussing it is giving all players wincons that can’t all be beat without stepping over toes

That said, I’ve run a game with secondary win conditions that ended with no one winning - it was fittingly Succession Mafia - so I do want to consider this carefully.

It’s a long-term goal, so it’ll probably be a couple years before I figure a premise out.

Textbooks are amazing.
If you don’t have access to that or if your class doesn’t give you that, you could throw your Powerpoints into ChatGPT, give it some sample questions, and have it create some sample papers for you to practice with.
