So... just a question. Will we start a Mafia game, or at least consider one?

The game of Mafia is based on deception and knowledge. It is a battle of an uninformed majority (Town and/or Neutrals) versus an informed minority (Mafia). Roles are handed out at the start of the game, which will have alignments on whether they can do something. There are 2 phases, day and night, and at any point can write their last will or death note. All phases equal a Day, which lasts some time (24 hrs or 12 hrs). At day, all town members (i.e. all players) will discuss who to exile/jail (for age concerns and lack of a public word for "lynch"), as well as whisper (?). They will vote on a person, and the votee will state their defense on why the voters should abstain or vote innocent. If more than half of the players vote guilty or abstain, they will be exiled/jailed and their role will be revealed to all players. At night, all players will be able to do their night action. The Mafia will also be able to privately talk at night. Whoever is murdered will be announced to all players in the morning. Their role and last will is revealed.

So, what do think of this? If we wanted to host, we will need multiple amounts of them to compensate for timezones of everyone. Maybe in summer we could do this.

Roles (As of current, simple):

TOWN

Citizen - Votes on a person each day to exile/jail.

Sheriff - Investigate a player each night to see if they are scum (a term used for any role that cannot win with Town and therefore must be eliminated).

Doctor - Heal someone each night, saving them from death.

Escort - Roleblock someone each night, preventing them from using their night action.

Vigilante - Kill a single person at night

MAFIA

Godfather - Command the Mafia at night, and is also night immune (unable to be killed at night), will be able to kill if no Mafioso is present.

Mafioso - Follow the Godfather, and kill their target, will directly upgrade to a Godfather if s/he died.

Consort - Roleblock someone each night, preventing them from using their night action, will upgrade to Mafioso if Mafia has no killing roles.

Neutral

Survivor - At night choose to use a bulletproof vest, protecting you from death
