Chaos Mafia Version 4: 2011

• Mafia may abstain from killing. If they do so, the other Mafia member(s) can target the kill on their own. This controls who is seen as visiting as part of the kill and fixes breaks like prostitute blocking.

• Universal Roles! These roles come up in games at the discretion of whoever is God and they modify aspects of the game regardless of whether or not a living player has them. Example: Coroner.

• Rally Actions! These haven't been posted yet, but God may choose to randomly select a Rally Action from a list. This is available to players as a group night action, where each player has one vote per game. The action is conducted if half the players who still have a vote use it at the same time doing the same thing.

• Places! Some roles make places, which like possessions (that are like permanent transferable roles) places make a separate space that acts as a second group chat. Players can still kill, target and vote normally, right down to the announcements of current vote tallies. People can enter/leave a place once per day through a public announcement. Example: Old Hag

• Many roles have been given the keyword Term Limit. Example: Hobo

• Many roles have been made Innocent Only. Example: Vigilante

• Visiting now exists. Mafia kills, attempted rally actions and the visiting line on roles all show where players "go" at night. Some roles can use this as a source of information. Examples: Watcher and Tracker.

•If you want a role, new or old, to be reviewed and posted, leave it in a suggestion on the tumblr. Multiple suggestions in one message won't be honored. Tumblr link

God Tips: How To Randomize

When setting up a game, you have two steps: Choosing roles and assigning stuff. Here are some tips:

For selecting roles, you need one of each category. Use http://www.random.org/sequences/ to get random numbers, but basically do the below:

Saving: If there are 10 saving roles, get a random number from 1-11. If you get 11, instead get a random Universal role to replace the Saving role

Investigative: If there are 10 investigative roles, get a random number from 1-11. If you get 11, instead get a random Universal role to replace the Investigative role. If there is already a Universal role, ignore choosing a second.

Repeat this for each category and then post links to the seven roles. If you got a Universal role, you may have to repeat the process to follow changes to game setup.

Then it's time to assign stuff to players. Using the same randomizer, go ahead and get the numbers of the random players who are to be mafia, then random players to have roles. make sure all the mafia don't have roles! If needed, randomize a few more times to assign secondary roles. Remember: secondary roles can be given to roled and mafia players, even multiple times. We once had a player with three secondary roles.

If you get a chance, also make notes on your player and role list about things to watch out for, like keywords and blocks.

Goo luck!

Version 4 Diversity Advocate Test

Version 4 allows roles called Universal roles to be in play from time to time. These usually add or remove entire mechanics from the game (such as insanity/lunatic, wills, rally actions, flavor, etc) or change game setup. This game has a role called Diversity Advocate, which changes the set-up to having all Oddball roles. In the future there will be one to make single-category games for each category (even game-changing). These roles only show up occasionally and there cannot be two of the same in one game.
