Hyper, it's his first time hosting, let him do a format that is comfortable for him.

Bloody, I told my friend "venomo45" to sign up and play. He signed up on page 2, but I think you ignored him because he only has 1 post. He really will play this game, I'll pressure him to if he starts flaking out! Also, we won't be sharing information with each other about the game unless we are both mafia or are both confirmed townies.

And can you mix it up? Add more roles? Just so it would not be the same thing as other games.

There are only so many roles in mafia that aren't stupid. This game is different from all but mafia 3 in the sense that there are no officeholders already.

If BC truly wants a different game then he could go the route of no role reveal upon death or no clues; roles have less of an effect upon difference than those two mechanisms.

Dude, I can think of TONS of awesome roles, but if you want proof of already good ones then you should see the mafia games on staredit.net. That is where these games actually came from on to TL.net. But if you are lazy I'll copy them here for you:

THE AVENGER - At the start of the game, the Avenger chooses FOUR (4) different and specific people other than himself that he would - bet you didn't see this coming - would kill for. For each one of these people that dies and revealed not to be mafia, the Avenger gains one hit on the following night for use on a target of his choice. He may betray and kill someone he would avenge, but does not gain a hit for that person's death.
The Avenger has two night lives. If he loses one, he may sacrifice his second night life for an additional hit to avenge himself, killing both himself and his target.

BROADCAST -- Broadcasts messages anonymously by PMing the host. He may make one communication per day, which appears with the day post. This communication is limited to 200 characters and may not be circumvented by links or other methods. (IE, a link to another player's posts in the topic is OK, but linking to a .TXT with more clue interpretations is not.)
Broadcast has two night lives.

MASOCHIST - Cannot be killed by any amount of hits at night. After he is hit the first time, he develops a taste for pain that he cannot live without. Once that happens, he dies automatically on any night that he is NOT hit.

PARALYZER - Cancels P mafia hits for one night, where P is equal to the number of night when this power is used. This power may only be used once per game.

These are the most recent roles put there, but if you check previous games they have a few interesting ones like this one (which is my favorite):

RADIOACTIVE - Has SEVEN (7) night lives.
He may spend one life per night, if he so chooses, to do one of the following:
-Kill another player.
-Inflict two players with radiation sickness. Their powers are cancelled for the night.
He may not spend his last life to use a power.
He also loses one life at the start of each day. (in addition to the lives spent on powers) This loss of a life cannot be prevented by any other roles. This means that he eventually must slip away. Tragic.

Man, Its my first game, and i have tweaked a few of the roles slightly, lowered the amount of jacks, vigi's and mad hatters, etc... added one new role which i don't think will break the game in any way.
If it goes over well ill start playing around with it a bit more.

Note: 5 slots available

Alright, but at least add this one:

VILLAGE IDIOT - The Village Idiot is technically town-aligned, but wants to get himself lynched through a vote. Should the village idiot succeeds, he is awarded 100 minerals. (if enabled, otherwise he does it for the lulz.)

lol, and instead of 100 minerals I guess it could be a +1 guarantee that he will get any role he wants next game you do? (If you ever do another one.)

Thats not a good way to do it, part of the thing with mafia is a random role, no one gets to pick or choose, also, The way it is split now is 50% chance of a roll, if it is unbalanced i will redo how many people have a roll. This seems like a fair ratio to start though
