Order of Night actions

Actions are posted chronologically.

• Jailor detains target

• Night discussion (Mafia chat, Mason chat, and Jailor chat)

• 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.

• Framer frames someone, Arsonist douses/undouses, and other miscellaneous role actions happen.

• Killing roles and suicides act simultaneously (Jailor, Vigilante, Mafioso and Godfather, Serial Killer, Arsonist, 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.

Random Roles

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
• Coroners when there is no Janitor in the game and/or the mode is not Clue variant
• Mason Leader will not spawn if there are no Citizens in the game

• Note: Spies 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
• Other players can then join the game by subsequently typing -join
• Players can then bet points on the game by typing -bet #
• The game is a standard game of Russian Roulette with a six-barrel revolver 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
• Pulling the trigger multiple times without passing and surviving increases the share of the points the player receives
• 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 pool between them
• 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 with be aborted
