Order of Night actions
Actions are posted chronologically.
- Jailor detains target
- Bulletproof vests are used
- Target switches and role-blockers
- Priority order is Witches, Bus Drivers, then role-blockers (Escort or Consort). It then repeats that cycle a random number of times to deal with complicated webs of events and paradoxes.
- Killing roles and suicides act simultaneously (Jailor, Vigilante, Mafioso and Godfather, Serial Killer, Arsonist, Mass Murderer, Jester, Disguiser, and leavers in that order (being killed in a previous event does not matter, however); Bodyguard, Bus Driver, and Witch indirect kills/suicides happen throughout in the applicable areas).
- Janitor cleans a target
- Investigative roles detect (Sheriff, Investigator, Consigliere)
- Disguiser replaces his target if the kill was successful.
- Mason Leader recruits someone to become a Mason.
- The Cult recruits someone to be a Cultist

Tie Breakers
When a game of Mafia goes for three days and three nights without any player dying a tiebreaker formula is executed:
- If the Town outnumbers the Mafia then the Town wins
- If the Mafia have equal or greater numbers to the Town then the Mafia Wins
- If the neutral pairings have equal or greater numbers than the town then the neutrals will win
- For example if there were two Serial Killers and 2 Escorts left who were continuously blocking the Serial Killers then the Serial Killers would still win
When the game comes down to a one versus one scenario the game is automatically concluded with the roles winning in the following order:
- There is an option that allows for the Serial Killer to win over the Arsonist
Random Role Constraints
Certain roles cannot be randomed in situations in which they would have no effect on the game. These roles include:
- Masons by themselves - they will always spawn as a pair, or in greater numbers.
- Coroners when there is no Janitor in the game and/or the mode is not Clue variant.
- Mason Leader will not spawn from random roles (not including Mafia Variant).
- Note: Spies and some other roles such as Sheriffs are exempt from this rule and still spawn even if there are no Mafia-aligned roles or Masons in the game - this, however, is incredibly rare.

Russian Roulette Mini-game
Mafia features a Russian Roulette mini-game that players can partake it upon dying during the actual game.
- The game begins by having one player type -roulette in the graveyard chat
- By typing -roulette # # players you can set a minimum bet and number of chambers in the revolver, respectively
- Other players can then join the game by subsequently typing -join
- Players can also type -observe to observe the game
- Players can then bet points on the game by typing -bet #
- At the end of betting, the bets are normalized so no one player bets more points than the other players combined. Therefore, a 1v1 game will always result in both players betting equal amounts.
- The game is a standard game of Russian Roulette with a six-barrel revolver (unless changed in the settings) and one bullet
- Upon beginning the game one player receives the gun and can type -pull to pull the trigger or -pass to pass the gun along
- Recipients of the gun after it has been passed must pull the trigger at least once before passing the gun again
- Once a player has been killed the surviving players split the points bet by that player between them
- Players who bet more points receive more winnings
- Players who pulled the trigger multiple times consecutively during play receive more winnings.
- Once a player has been killed in a game of Russian Roulette they cannot join any subsequent games
- If the game of Mafia comes to a conclusion during a game of Russian Roulette the game will NOT be aborted.
- Bets are silently removed at the beginning of the game and are given back at the end; leaving when you know your odds are bad (50% or 100% to die) will still make you lose the points you bet.
