If an option is not stated, it is assumed to be the default setting.
Update 18/08/12: With the introduction of a new random system, most if not all of these setups are out of date.

Bazar's Choice

This setup is designed to give an unpredictable erratic game, with a lot of suspense and mystery. Town has a lot of detection and tricks up its sleeves, but its hard to confirm a mafia target with mafia having plenty of deception and few in number. In addition the neutrals will either be killing indiscriminately, or sowing confusion in town's ranks, further easing the pressure mafia will be placed under.

Random:

Server Settings:

Day Length: 1.6 Minutes

Night Length: 0.5 Minutes

Start Game at: Day/No Lynch

Trial Pauses Day: Not Enabled

Trial Defense: Enabled

Last Will Allowed: Enabled

Night Sequence: Death Descriptions

Choose Names: Enabled

Day Type: Majority + Trial

Discussion: Enabled

Discussion Time: 0.5 Minutes

PM Allowed: Not Enabled

Trial Length: 0.5 Minutes

Tutorial: Not Enabled

Reasons why this is a good pick:

Day Start and Length:

Starting in the day puts players at ease, and even enables options that aren't normally possible. This helps put people at ease for the coming night, as well as to listen in on chat and base their targets (healing or otherwise) based on waht was said. It is also essential for the Jailor.

The additional time also helps stop panic setting in when things are hard to follow. 40 extra seconds makes a world of differance when the accusions are flying between an unconfirmed detector an a suspect mafia.

Jailor and Vigiliantie:

By having the jailor and vigiliantie, town will be less willing to lynch. After all, if someone does have to die randomly, might as well let the jailor/vig do it.

Random Neturals:

By having random Neturals, town is very less willing to lynch, least they face a jester, or kill on command of an exec. This also doubles as a shield for mafia.

Basic rolls:

Plenty of basic rolls ensures that even if some detectors are killed early in the game, town should still have still have a reserve of detectors to continue the hunt.

Trials and Blackmailing:

A needless trial only wastes time, which doesn't pause for town. This means that the game goes at fixed pace. Random lynchings are very unrewarding as an innocent outcome will often be followed by night.

All rolls enabled:

All rolls are enabled except Citizen (since most random players rage-quit if spawned as a citizen). This is good for achievement players, as well as adds to the mystery. Anything can and does happen with this setup.

Sides are balanced:

Usually the side that wins will not be decided by luck, but by a player's skill and charisma.

Easy to fix drops

In the event of dropped players, just delete slots you have a full roster. The game remains balanced as long as the top 2 neutrals stay in game.

Amnesiac

This is a setup for fun public games, where a lot of randoms and neutrals are appreciated. Only three town roles are set in stone, giving the town a reasonable amount of investigation and a Bodyguard (more fun than Doctor IMO, though up to 3 of any other role including Doctors and Masons are possible with the randoms). The reason for making half the randoms Advanced and Basic is to create a simple structure of both variety and balance.

If there is a leaver or two, the neutral roles can be sacrificed while maintaining balance. First remove Amnesiac, then Random Neutral. Removing discussion time and night sequences for a faster-paced game, which most public players enjoy, is recommended. The other suggested role options in parenthesis are very helpful towards making this setup work, but a lot is open to what the host wants.
