Would a better win condition be “You win when all threats to the Defenders of De’endee are vanquished and at least one member of the Defenders of De’endee is still alive” be better?
Honestly, I don’t expect this to be an issue. How many people sign up for a mafia game just so they can break it? 
Everyone wants to be the one who breaks the game for their team.
::Looks around. Raises hand::
I always liked breaking games, but I am guessing you weren’t serious.
I swear by the RNG. Should I drop out, may all my dice roll low and all of my decks be mana-screwed!
In.
So can NPC/vanilla gain XP and learn new powers if they lynch scums?
I’m making one change to the way we resolve ties, in the hope that it also fixes the win condition issue. Whomever reaches the top vote count first dies.
Romanic, NPCs (our vanilla players) cannot earn XP and learn new powers.
I’d like to play. 
I’ve never played Mafia but spent the last couple of weeks ODing on past threads (Weird Wild West, Doperville, LOTR, You-Solve-It, Simpletown, and Genre Fiction of course) and I find myself very interested. Would this be an impossibly complex version for a completely ignorant newbie to play?
Nothing like diving into the deep end of the pool, is there? (You’ll do fine, and welcome.)

(Oh my God ur scum. Since I’m not going to be. I bribed Astral with a jelly donut.)
C’mon…play! I haven’t played in forever; I’d like to see a familiar name!
Maybe we’ll both be third parties this time round.
In like Flynn.
You can’t play any worse than me. You’ll kick ass.
Heh. Don’t be too sure, Inner Stickler. Some of the power role stuff confuses me. But I’ll do my best. All right, if newbies are welcome, then please may I join?
You read through all those old games? You are totally qualified to play. I promise.
If you actually like reading old games, might I suggest looking up Mafia IV. That was a spectacular game in a lot of ways.
See also the spin off mafia site that we started, Idle Mafia. In particular read the Batman game (Titled Arkham Nights) and the Tresure Island game (Titled on the Good Ship Hispanola).
Also, I don’t know if anyone is updating it anymore, but here is the mafia group’s wiki.
Missed the edit.
It is Mafia V: The Cult of Seekhamyou are looking for, not mafia IV (which doesn’t exist on this board).
While I am at it, This was probably the most fun I had playing a mafia game, but I don’t know how well it reads. That link takes you to the Night 0 thread.
And Gastard Mod mafia might be my favorite of all the games I created. It’s on Idle’s site.

It will be fine with newbies and you can PM mods for game related questions if you need to.
Glad to see you back, Kelly! Can mods vote?
Vote Kelly
Let me know if I have missed anyone. It’s not an intentional snub, unless we don’t like you and decided against you.
I would like to play
