If the godfather is checked by a DT, do you return "godfather"?

So...does the town win if they kill the Godfather?


no, all mafia must be dead as well (or there has to be none).

Did you port this setup or does it need balancing? It seems really powerful for mafia unless there's at least two free mason pairs. It doesn't specify in the rules does mafia KP ever go up?

Roleblocking mafia KP seems really swingy - if the roleblocker finds one and notes that kills stopped (obviously), they don't even necessarily want to point the scum finger at that target. Stifling the KP indefinitely seems immensely powerful while trying to find the other scum/godfather.

Just my first thoughts off the top of my head.


port? like import? Nah, I just kinda made this up / took it from personal (IRL) experience. Edit: also did some balancing with some random nubs here. It's far from being perfectly balanced but I'm okay with it as it is.

The whole mafia KP + roleblocking thing is a part of the game, helps balance against the mafia and can work for both sides - it all depends on how well the roleblocker plays.



So then let's see. Assuming no extraneous things happen, at start there are 2 mafia (one mafia, one GF). Town mislynches. After night, there are 18 people, with 3 mafia. Town mislynches. After night there are 16 people with 4 mafia. Town mislynches. After night there are 14 people with 5 mafia. Say town kills the GF (if they don't they'll probably lose since GF can keep recruiting). 13 people with 4 mafia. After night there's 12 people with 4 mafia. That's pretty bad odds for the town although doable. Even harder though since the mafia haven't been mafia the whole game, making it harder to figure out who's scum. Seems bad for the town.

It basically boils down to: town has 3 days to kill the GF. Any other mafia kills by the town only delay the game a bit. In fact at some point even if the town knows a mafia member, it's probably better to not kill them and gun for the GF.



This is why you have a DT, Jailkeeper, Mad Hatter, Veteran, Roleblocker, Coroner, and Dream Catcher.

... in a 20 person game, if the town mislynches for 3 days straight and mafia gets all their hits through, etc., town usually loses anyway, amirite?

3 mislynch is the threshold for mafia victory in 5 day games (eg mini mafia). 20 players usually looking for 5 mislynch varying slightly with other speed of game factors.

Say it's night 5, and no mafia have died and all recruitments have been successful. 5 mafia, and the Godfather has a recruitment to make. He would PM me a name, just like any night. However, I would not make that person a mafia member - it will be as if he Godfather did not attempt to recruit that night. He will not be told that his recruitment failed. Furthermore, the recruitment will fail regardless of if/how many mafia members die that same night.

So any recruitments that happen while the number of mafia (at the beginning of the night) is 5 do not actually happen.

Yup, if the godfather dies at any point, any living mafia stay and the game continues.

The probability of the Godfather dying by night 1 is pretty low. By night 2, there'll be 3 mafia after he's dead so that's not too too bad ^^.

you should edit in a condition where if the godfather dies that early there is something that happens to balance the game
