If Mafia is lynched first, it's a guaranteed loss for them, and if Town is lynched, he vengekills someone else in his chat room. If the vengekill hits town, the third is guaranteed scum and strung up. Absolute worst case for town is 3-1 nightless with one of the three town confirmed. Although I think the concept is cool.
Is it any wonder things seem so awry? We swim in a sea of confusion and don't have to think to survive, so nobody listens!

So that the game still has 7 people.

It's definitely not as breakable. Optimal play D1 is lynch the messenger, as he is 50% to be mafia. Mafia still has a chance there, though, because of the random distribution. My inital thought is that it still favors town, but nowhere near as much as the original.

Then you're making the two distinct set-ups happen at a different rate, which does eliminate the optimal play of lynching the messenger D1. In no way does that make every player have 50% chance to be mafia, though.

Had an idea for a setup, wanted some thoughts on it.

Proximity Bomb Mafia


2 Mafia Bombers
1 Mafia Primer
1 Mafia Goon

14 Townies


  • Night start; no mafia factional kill
  • Mafia Bomber: At night, may rig a player with a proximity bomb, declaring another player as the trigger; if the trigger player votes for the bombed player, they both die and the day ends. This is a factional ability (i.e., both bombers may not perform this action).
  • Mafia Primer: At night, may target a player. If that player is voting for a bombed player when they die, the primed player dies as well.
  • Priming a player only lasts for that day, whereas bombs do not go away.

Suicide Bomber Mafia


4 Mafia Goons

11 Townies


  • Day start
  • Mafia does not have a traditional factional kill; they have a factional suicide bomb invention.
  • A player given a bomb by the mafia that night will die. That player may target another player to kill them as well.

Thoughts?
