A new EoFF Mafia

[qwertysaur]

I agree with Freya, and I speak from experience being a GM who did reveal too much and it destroyed the balance of the game. too much information will throw the game off balance in either direction.

btw I'm down for a game in the near future.

Edit: Hi Scruffington. I'm professor qwerty, the pokémon professor.

I've played a lot of forum mafia games, and they work a bit uniquely. There are so many possible roles that can be in play, including some that are created for the game, like lovers where one is a doctor and one is a serial killer, and they are a 3rd party who want to kill everyone else.

Or there may be 2 mafias in the game, so the town is overloaded with protection roles.

Lets go with the example you have, a mafia kill fails. It could be from a a protective role, or the mafia member doing the killing could be role-blocked. Or a weird role like bus driver, or nexus that can redirect night actions. Some of those roles rely on the surprise.
