**OK, time to get this thing rolling.** As promised, the Town and Scum roles are completely open. Rather than post them all here, which would take an eternity and just clog up the game thread, I will instead link to a google document listing the roles. Please note that there is exactly one of each role, except for the Masons (n=4) and the vanilla Townsperson (n=?). All of the PMs shown below are complete and unredacted, except that the names of individual players have been removed (obviously). Third party PMs - if any exist - are not included in this document. > **[Mafia Reunion Role PM's Public](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XVWkU49fRxu3ukJ6EVZ8Q11VrC9JjW9LHnaIMlgi-zU/edit)** > > THE ROLES Town Roles Welcome to the game; you are A Townsperson. ALIGNMENT: Town YOU WIN if at any checkpoint (Dawn or Dusk) all 14 Scum players (Wolves + Mafia) are dead. BACKGROUND: Hello! Glad you could join us. We’ll be getting started... **ALSO!** In addition to the PMs shown at the location above, some players will receive an additional PM. In this game, certain powers will run off of switches, which are simple toggles. Each power is associated with two switches, each given to a different player. Activation or deactivation of these switches is an independent ability that can be performed at any Dawn or Dusk _as a separate action that does not prevent the player from using any personal abilities._ Additional information on switches may, or may not, be provided at a later date 🙂 ---

Also, when you are trying to push out a bunch of PMs and answer a bunch of questions but you only have limited time to do it all it…it’s super frustrating that you have to wait 60 seconds between PMs. #modworldproblems Here is some mood music for the party, because I have to do something while I wait.

Oh hey a PM. Ooh and I just found the game thread, just catching up now, oh the mods have posted a link to all the roles…14 PAGES OF GOOGLE DOC. This game is going to be…intensive. ---

If I’m reading that correctly, Town has something like 17 Power Roles. But there are at least two Scum who can switch them off. Not to mention third parties. This will be fun! ---

So we don’t know how many vanilla town there are, and thus can’t deduce the number of third party roles. ---

A few questions: Can the watcher see the scum factional kills being performed? It looks like no, they’re not tied to any given player, but I’d like to be sure. Does the hitman/outrider kill a target who is not protected, or are they anti-doctor only? Does the informant/bloodhound get full role information, or just X visited Y? ---

No. Faction kills are not performed by a single player. 2. No - if the hitman or outrider targets a player who is not protected, nothing at all happens. Bonus fun fact: the hitman or outrider will kill a self-protecting doctor. 3. Just X visited Y ---

The scum are so good at killing not even the watcher can spot them making their normal kill. Almost supernatural really. Hitman/out rider is only anti protector. The person they target is a ok. The informant does not get role info. \*\* [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-reunion-night-zero/776315.md?page=6) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-reunion-night-zero/776315.md?page=8)
