Mafia: The James Edition

[James Gryphon]

I guess y'all pretty well know the drill at this point!

The basic roles, as usual, are Mafia, Detective, and Doctor. In this game, the Doctor cannot heal themselves. Extra roles will be determined, listed and explained before the game starts, but after a sizable number of y'all have registered. Given the popularity of the Lovers role in previous games, I will give that particular consideration when I decide what to use. When I pass out roles to begin the game, they will be determined by RNG.

I haven't decided on the plot yet, but I'll get back to y'all as soon as I have worked that out. I intend to do my best to provide ample evidence in the stories, as in an actual mystery story, to try to give you some grounds to work on besides personality judgements.

As a fairly addicted Mafia player, I do have a few roles you could incorporate. It's really up to you.

1 - Lookout : the lookout chooses one person to watch each night. If anyone visits that person they will know. They won't know that person's role.

For example, if I visited Peony and I'm Doctor, and Soren visited her and he's Mafia - the lookout will know that Soren and I visited Peony - but he won't know who is who. Lookouts can catch Mafia if only one person visits and the person dies.

2 - Blackmailer : A third Mafia could be incorporated if we get a lot of players. Blackmailer works with the Mafia, and chooses one person to blackmail each night. That person will not be able to talk or post during that day - when people are voting. It's very useful for keeping a detective quiet...

3 - Framer : An alternate to the blackmailer. This role chooses one person each night to frame. If the detective investigates the person who was framed, the host will tell the detective that person is Mafia, causing the detective to get confused and possibly hang the wrong person

If both Mafia die and either of these two remain, the game is over and town wins

3 - Jester : Jesters want to be hanged by the town. If they trick the town into lynching them - the jester wins. The only problem is - it can make games pretty short of the Jester is smart

4 - Retributionist - this is one of my favorites - they can choose one person to revive (only one!) for the whole game. It can mess things up though, in combination with a lookout or a doctor. (They just watch the revived person who is usually detective and the detective finds all the Mafia

5 - Bodyguard - the Bodyguard can choose one person to watch each night. That person will not be able to perform their ability. If that person is a Mafia they won't kill anyone (if there are two Mafia, the other one can still kill someone). If the bodyguard watches a town person, they won't be able to do their role (Doc won't save anyone / detective can't check anyone.

6 - Janitor - Another possible Mafia role. The Janitor works with the Mafia, and can clean the body of two people for the whole game. If the Mafia successfully kill that person, their role will not be revealed.

7 - Vigilante / gunman - you already know about this role - he actually ended the last game early!

8 - Mayor - the mayor can choose to reveal his role to everyone. If he does, his vote counts twice. It's dangerous because the Mafia could just kill the mayor after he reveals himself.

9 - Vereran - A retired army soldier who can choose to alert twice throughout the whole game. If the veteran goes on alert anyone who visits him dies (be it town or Mafia.) if the Mafia visit, only one of them will die

Those are some roles that would probably work. I definitely wouldn't try to use them all - but a couple could spice things up a little ( it can be boring as a townsperson). A few crazy roles I wouldn't use, but they are fun:

Arsonist : They choose one person each night to douse in gasoline (that person will know they were doused) One night the Arsonist can choose to ignore all his victims, resulting in a pile of dead bodies the next day. The Arsonist wants to be the last one standing. (Kill all Mafia and town)

Werewolf : Every other night (on full moon) this person turns into a werewolf. They choose one person to visit, and that person, and anyone who visits them, dies. Werewolf wants to kill everyone

Serial Killer: This person wants to kill everyone as well. He or she chooses one person to stab each night.

Witch: the witch chooses one person each night to control. They can force the person to use their ability on another person. So if the Witch controls a mafia, they can force the mafia to kill anyone - even one another. The witch just wants to survive until either only town or only Mafia remain.

Vampire: The vampire can choose one person to bite every other night. The bitten person also becomes a vampire. Mafia cannot become vampires. The vampires win if only vampires remain. The Mafia can kill vampires

Vampire Hunter: the Vampire Hunter chooses one person to investigate each night. If they investigate a vampire, they kill that vampire.

Jailor: the Jailor can choose one person to jail each night. That person will not be able to fulfill their role. The Jailor can execute their prisoner if they feel they are evil.


Anyway - that's about every role I've heard of. I'm in, regardless of whether you use any of them.

Fatch: Town of Salem much?

IKR?

Sure, I'll join.

[Jetthebinturong]

Well Town of Salem is based on Mafia.

Eh, why not, I'll join.

Also I find it very unfair that people are able to dibs games so far in advance.

I need to go to sleep.
