Town (14 Roles):
Sheriff:
Searches one player at night. The Sheriff only finds out a players alignment, not their role. The sheriff is told whether the player is Mafia, Neutral Evil or "Not Suspicious" (Godfather appears as non-suspicious to the sheriff Sheriff). Framed players will appear as "a member of the Mafia" or an alive neutral killer.

Players are not notified if they are being visited by the sheriff.
Investigator:
The Investigator is one of the Town's more powerful roles and necessary to the long-term survival of the Town. The role can investigate a player at night, revealing a crime that they comitted. Check one player each night for that player's criminal record.
Notes:
When dealing with a player that shares his crime with many other roles, look first if you can exclude the town roles that have the crime too.
Remember that only crimes which have been commited are listed! (e.g. Arsonist only shows "Trespassing" and not "Arson", "Destruction of Property" and "Murder" until he ignites his doused targets)
Another easy way to catch evildoers by asking them to claim their role - if their role does not match the crimes you found, you know they have something to hide!
Players are not notified if they are being visited by the investigator.
Detective:
This role has the ability to track one person's activity each night. The Detective can be considered the opposite of the Lookout.
Ignore detection immunity - (On)
Notes:
When a Detective tracks a Bus Driver, the Detective will only know the first target.

Mason Leaders also have the ability to kill (bludgeon to death) any Cultist that he happens to visit at night. Therefore, the Mason Leader can be a very powerful role in countering the spread of Cultists in a game. Killing a Cultist, however, counts as one of the Mason Leader's recruitments for purposes of his game limit.

Killing two or more people will trigger a cool-down on your killing ability for one night. The Mass Murderer wins if he is the last player left alive.

Witch Doctor when converted - (On)
Cultist:
A Cultist is a member of a shadowy cult. They have the ability to convert other people to the Cult and talk to other Cultists at night. The Cultist's main strength is its ability to neutralize powerful Town members and use its greatest advantage - its numbers - against them. The Cult can be considered the opposite of the Masons, as they are not Town aligned and have no central leader, with decisions for who to convert following a democratic vote. In the case of a tie, the target is randomly selected from the tied selections.

1 night between saves - (Off)
Excluded from Randoms - (Off)
Neutral Benign (4 Roles):
Amnesiac:
The Amnesiac is the ultimate wild card of Mafia -- someone who has forgotten his memory and does not know what his role is. He has the ability to remember that his role is the same as anyone's in the graveyard, which gives him a ton of latitude on how to approach the game. Amnesiacs can bolster the Town by replacing an important decreased role such as Sheriff or Doctor. Alternatively, they can decide to provide reinforcements to the Mafia or another Neutral role depending on who is more likely to win the game. Finally, an Amnesiac will win the game if he survives until the end, though this is not recommended given the Amnesiac has no way of protecting himself at night.
New role revealed to town - (On)
Cannot become Town - (Off)
Cannot become Mafia/Triad - (Off)
Cannot become a killing role - (Off)
Excluded from randoms - (Off)
Executioner:
An Executioner's goal is deceptively simple -- get a certain player (randomly picked at the beginning of the game) lynched (as opposed to killed at night). TheExecutioner's "target" is always Town. However, the role is capable of creating much chaos en route to its objective, including, but not limited to providing the Town with false leads / doing anything he can to get his target lynched. An Executioner who has failed his objective will typically go insane, turning into a Jester, which only compounds the potential disruption to the Town's efforts.
Guardian Angel:
An Angel whose only goal is the protection of their charge. If your target is killed you will become a Survivor without any bulletproof vests.
Twice a game you may Heal your target. This may be done from the grave. A Guardian Angel can still watch over their target even if they are dead. The Guardian Angel's protection can stop multiple attacks on the target. The target can be any player in the game (both Town, Mafia & Neutral), but will not be yourself.
Can be used to stop a lynch - (On) [The admin will PM you if your target is about to be lynched asking if you wish to use your protection.]
The target being protected will receive a notification at the end of the night, stating, "The Guardian Angel was watching over you!" Any players who select to attack a protected target will receive a notification at the end of the night, stating, "Your target's defense value was too high to kill."
Survivor:
A Survivor is a loner isolated from society who has no interest in the struggle between the Town and Mafia. Accordingly, he does not care who wins the game, so long he is not lynched or killed during the struggle. This goal is not as easy as it seems given the amount of lynching and killing which takes place during a Mafia game. Therefore, Survivors receive a certain number of bulletproof vests which will make them invulnerable to attack for the night. Nevertheless, a Survivor still must navigate the day successfully without being lynched and this often requires gaining the trust of either the Town or the Mafia. Because a Survivor does not care who wins, he may shift his allegiance between different factions as desired or needed in order to stay alive. This makes many Town players wary of the Survivor who may double-cross them in order to avoid being killed by the Mafia and ensure his win.
Number of bulletproof vests 1 - (Off)
Number of bulletproof vests 2 - (Off)
Number of bulletproof vests 3 - (On)
Number of bulletproof vests 4 - (Off)
Q&A
Questions from previous games with their answers that don't fit anywhere else
Q:
BK... so in theory there can be multiple winners (ie - town and a neutral, mafia and two neutrals, etc.)??
Only the neutral benign can win with another faction. The neutral evil has to beat both the town and mafia, and the same goes for the mafia and town aligned roles as well.
Q:
The Jester and Executioner roles are sort of like side games, right? Or does the game end if they are able to accomplish their task?
Yes, they are side roles. The game will continue until one of the major factions wins (Town, Mafia or Neut Evil).
Q:
What is the difference between a candied apple and a caramel apple?
candied apples are covered in a generic hard candy coating. caramel apples are covered in caramel. the latter is better.

Misc. Rules (Same as Anks)
In its simplest form, the game of Mafia consists of two competing sides: the Mafia and the Town/Civilians. The Mafia's goal is to kill the innocents, while the Town's goal is to kill the Mafia.
At the beginning of the game, the Moderator will secretly send everyone their role via PM. The Mafia will know each other, while (in the basic game) everyone else will only know their own role. You should have received your role via PM.
The game has two phases: Day and Night
Day Phase
During Day, the thread is open for posting. All players will discuss in the Game thread whom to execute next. Generally, Civilians players will vote for someone they think is Mafia (the Mafia will vote so that they seem to be doing this as well, and might even vote for each other to confuse the Town);
Whoever has the most votes at the deadline is executed. In the case of a tie, we will enter a 15 minute overtime period. During overtime, the first vote change will be deciding. If the vote remains tied after OT, the moderator will flip a coin and eliminate 1 of the people within the tie. The role of the executed player is revealed by the Moderator, and it becomes Night.
Night
During the Night, the thread is locked and no one can talk publicly. NO POSTING IN THE THREAD DURING NIGHT. The Mafia, however, can speak to each other via pm to plot strategy and decide who to murder before the next Day begins.
During Night, the mafia will pm me the name of a player to be murdered. This player will be killed and removed from the game.
During Night, the cop will pm me the name of a player to be investigated. I will respond to the cop via pm and reveal the role of that player.
During night, the bodyguard will pm me the name of a player to be protected.
The game alternates between Day and Night until all the Mafia are eliminated, or the Mafia have killed everyone else
- Feel free to ask questions regarding the mechanics of the game, and I will gladly answer. If you are a regular civilian, please only ask questions within the Public Game thread
- Do not publicly mention anything about Mafia PMs. Don't tell me in shout that you sent me a pm about mafia. That includes the initial role assignment pm.
- No dead posting. If you are executed or murdered, don't post in the thread.
- No post editing.
- We're somewhat operating on the honors system given that we're doing this on Proboards. Just don't be a jerk.
- Don't SHOUT - Keep Mafia talk off of shout. All game-related discussion should take place within this thread. No Mafia talk of any kind will be tolerated in shout.
- No Liking or Disliking posts. This applies when you are alive or dead. If you are alive and want to agree with a post, quote it and say so. If you are dead, you are not allowed to interact with the game.
- Everyone got a PM about their role. Mafia, Cop, Bodyguard, and Civs.
A few notes on Voting:
Majority Vote - If a majority of the remaining players are voting for the same person, a 30 minute timer is started. If at the end of the 30 minutes, a majority are still voting for that person, then that player will immediately be executed, and we won't until the deadline time.
No Execution - Players may vote for a "No Execution". If "No Execution" wins the vote, no one will be executed during the Day Phase, and we will progress to the Night Phase.
How to Vote - Please indicate your vote by bolding a player's name. For example:
I vote for RW!
Missed Votes - A player may miss 1 vote without repercussions. If a player misses 2 votes, they are auto-killed and removed from the game. If you miss a vote during a Day that ends early due to a Majority Vote, then you are not penalized.
Vote Changes - You are allowed to change your vote as you desire. Simply bold your change.
Tied Votes - If a vote is tied, we will enter a 15 minute overtime phase. Overtime is sudden death. The first vote change will be deciding.
