KIND IMAGES
Mother
Mother, regardless of who she is or how much she terrorized you, always remains Mother. Only now do you realize how much you love her, despite everything.
Traits:
1. Parental Authority. Double vote. Cannot be executed on the first attempt.
NA:
1. Overcare. Forces the target to stay home all day. Block+isolation.
Ult. Take to the summer house to help grandma. Removes the target from the game for the entire night and the following day.
Status:
3D / aggressive
Vladik
Your only true friend since school, who, to your great disappointment, moved to Poland for his studies. Although you correspond periodically, you no longer feel the former closeness, leaving a gaping hole inside you. But now you realize that he was the only one who cared about you, the only one you could rely on all this time. Maybe that's why he came into your head now to save you from nightmares?
Traits:
1. True Friendship. Immunity to the Hypocrite's actions.
2. Reliability. One natural defense against attacks. Upon death, maims the attacker, depriving them of all NAs for the next night.
NA:
1. Help in Trouble. Watches the target; if they are attacked, redirects the attack to himself.
Status:
3D / chill
Knight
Your favorite character in the MOBA computer game that you've played exclusively lately. Strong, just, cool—in short, he is everything you ever wanted to be. Perhaps all this time you were simply sublimating by playing as him.
Traits:
1. Sturdy Armor. One natural defense against attacks.
NA:
1. Farming Creeps in Lane. Chooses one player—for this night, he is their support. Knight learns any one status of the target of choice and protects them from being killed. If no one attacked the target, restores his own defense (if it was lost previously not as a result of a maniac's mockery).
2. Gank. Kill target. On success, loses his defense. If he kills a civilian, loses this NA until the end of the game. Cannot be redirected.
Status:
2D / aggressive
First Love
Maybe you should have gathered the courage and confessed to her at graduation. Who knows how your life would have turned out in that case? Maybe nothing would have come of it, or maybe you would have finally found that person who would save you from loneliness.
Traits:
1. Regrets. An additional clue is given upon her death.
NA:
1. Sweet Conversation about Interests. Learns the second status of the target.
Ult. Date. Learns the full status of the target and gains immunity from their actions for the next two nights. Not replaced by board games, does not burn out upon block.
Status:
3D / chill
PSL
Your favorite rapper. You never understood music, often listening to whatever. And PSL is objectively trash. But his lyrics are simple and close to you, so you don't care.
NA:
1. Flip a Coin. 50% target protection, 50% target block.
Ult. Spark, Storm, Madness. Holds a concert, disrupting all city and mafia NAs occurring after this ult, except checks and the maniac's kill. Works on the principle of a block, but pierces roles immune to blocking.
Status:
3D / aggressive
Board Games
You sincerely miss those times when you could go to the club several times a week after school and relax there with Vlad and other buddies. Alas, in your first year, you gave it all up because of your condition, but maybe the fact that board games came to your rescue in your delirium is a sign that you can try again?
Traits:
1. There are many of us, and we are all different! Cannot be redirected by the maniac.
NA:
1. Game for Three. Names 3 players, among whom a winner is randomly determined. The winner gets the opportunity to perform an additional NA the next night (can be different ones, killing NAs and ults cannot be duplicated). For the other two players, their NA targets are swapped (if a target performs several NAs per night, the first one in order is swapped).
Status:
2D / chill
Waifu
A waifu is a waifu. Even you, not such a big anime fan, have one. And she is beautiful.
Traits:
1. Jealousy. If she comes to First Love, disrupts her NA for this and the next night, including the ult.
2. Untouchable. Immunity to all NAs except kills and checks.
NA:
1. Search for the Ideal Kun. Compares the statuses of two targets. Receives the result as "same/similar/different".
Status:
2D / chill
Chief Physician
You didn't even have time to remember his name. You don't even remember what he looks like. But his voice is kind, and you want to believe that he will help you.
Traits:
1. Last Hope. Can use as many NAs as desired per night, but all must be different.
2. Seems Very Smart. Receives an extra clue at the start of the day regarding one of the kills that occurred during the night.
NA:
1. Healing Injection. Heals the target.
2. Sedative. Moves the target's NA according to the NA order to almost the very end of the list, before his own healing.
3. Medical Exam. Checks a player for the reality of their existence. Learns the first status.
Status:
3D / chill
NIGHTMARES
Father
Where are you, Dad? Where did you go? Why did you leave me and Mom? Maybe you have another family? Maybe you have another son whom you love and protect? Tell me, do you even sometimes remember me?
Traits:
1. Vanishing from Life. If inactive, gains immunity to all NAs except checks.
2. Abusive Relationship. Immunity to Mother's NAs. After her death, receives a double vote.
3. Greatest Fear. Cannot be executed on the first attempt.
NA:
1. Beatings. Target dies the next night. Immunity to Vladik's trait. Pierces Mother's isolation. Can be healed on both nights. Cannot be redirected. Leaves no clues. Considered a killing NA.
2. Murder. If alone in the team.
Status:
3D / aggressive
Hypocrite
In reality, nobody cares about you. They are all just using you, mocking your weaknesses behind your back.
Traits:
1. Faceless Mass. Not blocked by PSL. The NA target is not replaced by a loss in board games.
NA:
1. Murder. By choice, ignores either the external protection of PSL and Knight, or redirection.
2. Invite for a Drink. Block.
Ult. Treat with a Tab. Blocks the target for 2 nights and deprives them of a vote for 2 days.
Status:
3D / aggressive
Reaper
She is beautiful and merciless. Perhaps you are trying to idealize death so it isn't so scary. It's much more pleasant to imagine that a beautiful anime girl will come for you, rather than burning from within in agony.
Traits:
1. Otherworldly. Two natural defenses against attacks.
NA:
1. Murder, pierces natural defense.
2. Final Judgment. Learns one of the target's statuses by choice.
Status:
2D / chill

It is the embodiment of all your subconscious fears and phobias. You thought you were an adult and didn't think about it, but it has finally come for you.
Traits:
1. Powerful. One natural defense against attacks.
NA:
1. Devouring. Kills the target, healing does not save.
2. Chain Beast. Protects the target. Not redirected by the Doppelganger.
Ult. Hide Under the Bed. Kills the target and everyone who visited them. None of the victims are saved by healing. Not redirected. Ult does not burn out upon block.
Status:
2D / aggressive
SUBCONSCIOUS
Doppelganger
I am you. I know everything about you. Stop running from your fears and hiding behind illusions of the past. Accept your true self, accept yourself as you are. With my own hands, I will destroy everything you hope for and rely on, for only then can you become a new person.
Traits:
1. Persistent. Two natural defenses against attacks. Cannot be executed on the first attempt. 2 NAs per night.
2. Omniscient. Checks one chosen status for each of his NA targets.
3. Vengeful. If his murder failed due to a block or external protection, he may declare the next night that he is going for revenge. In this case, the target of his murder NA is replaced by the corresponding role that hindered him. He does not learn the player's identity. Cannot seek revenge on Mother.
NA:
1. Murder.
2. Suggestion. Redirects a player to a chosen target.
3. Intimidation. Steals a vote from the target.
4. Mockery. Removes one natural defense from the target until the end of the game.
Ult. Subjugation. Resurrects someone who died last night or was executed last day by choice. That person becomes his puppet; the Doppelganger controls all the target's NAs and votes.

GAME RULES:
1. Game Mage Guild - Tox. Contact via forum PMs, but preferably via Skype or Telegram (toxinushka on both).
2. The game begins with the night. During the night, players send their night actions (NA). If you decide not to use an NA, notify the GM, otherwise it will be considered offline and may lead to a modkill. The GM must confirm receipt of the NA. The sooner the GM receives all NAs, the earlier the day begins. Night limit – 24 hours, after which NAs are not accepted. No one has the right to write anything in the game thread during the night, even in "deleted posts."
3. Day lasts 24 hours. Early termination of the day is possible by the wish of the majority of players.
4. Voting for execution takes place during the day. To vote, you must write "**Execute [Player Nick]**" in the game thread. An "NNV" option is possible, meaning "No One Hang." If you want to cancel a player's execution, you must write "**Cancel execution [Player Nick]**". Player execution occurs at the end of the day, at which point voting results are summarized. A majority of votes is required to execute a player. Double votes, deprivation/theft of votes are taken into account during voting, but are displayed in the results only if they affect the execution.
5. Clues are given for murders. A clue points to some detail of a player's profile, usually through a logical chain built on facts from Wikipedia. Links via articles of the Russian Wikipedia exclusively are used.
6. NAs cannot be directed at the person applying that very NA for any reason.
7. The mafia has 3 NAs per night, no more than one killing. The choice of NA for the night is made collectively. If one of the mafia members is offline, the remaining participants can make a decision without them.
8. Discussing the game outside this thread (i.e., in PMs, chats, etc.) is strictly forbidden for everyone. Only the mafia has its own collective chat where it has the right to discuss the game.
9. Eliminated players and non-participants are forbidden from writing in the game thread, discussing the game with participants, or posting information about their own/others' roles anywhere.
10. Directly revealing your own or others' roles, disclosing details of your role, or information obtained through your actions is forbidden. Phrases like "well, I also know something about him that I can't say" are also considered violations, regardless of whether you actually know something or are lying.
11. There are no notes in the game.
12. Unsuccessful murders are not displayed. Exception - successful Knight protection and healing. Non-killing NAs directed at a role immune to them are displayed as usual, if they are supposed to appear in the newspaper.
13. When doubling NAs with board games and using the same NA twice, the player must state which of their targets will go first and which second. Thus, potential redirection will disrupt specifically the target listed first.
14. Modkill (in rare cases - replacement) is performed:
- In case of violation of any rule point.
- In case of a player's absence from the game for two nights, two days, or one day and one night.
15. First night immunity is given to the following players:
- Those killed on the first night in the previous game.
- The host of the previous game.
- Players playing mafia on this portal for the first time.
- Players who missed three or more consecutive previous games on this portal.
16. Feedback on game management, balance, and rules is accepted at any moment of the game, but can directly influence changes in the setting only before the start of the first day.
17. This is just a game. Try not to fight and play beautifully. Have fun and enjoy the HW mafia comeback!

Auto-translated
Your name is Ilya, you are 20 years old, and you are an ordinary resident of a large city in the CIS.
Life hasn't been particularly great since childhood: your father left the family, and your mother struggled to provide for the household. You spent your entire life in a small one-room apartment on the outskirts of town, but when you were in school, you didn't complain much.
You mostly enjoyed studying, even though you weren't a straight-A student. You loved hanging out with classmates, playing games, and occasionally visiting a board game club during high school.
But as soon as you entered university, your life went downhill. You couldn't get a government-funded spot, you have no scholarship, your mother has only treated you worse over the years, old friends aren't really friends anymore, and your best friend moved to another country for his studies.
The only joys you have left are anime, computer games—since you have neither the desire nor the money to go out for board games—and occasional drinking bouts with former classmates with whom you managed to maintain decent relations.
Naturally, against the backdrop of all this, your socialization skills deteriorated significantly, and you developed depression and self-hatred.
Perhaps that's why your survival instinct failed when former classmates invited you to a summer house back in the summer of 2k20. The thing was, you were sick then and felt frankly unwell. But the urge to escape reality won.
And that survival instinct remained silent again when some guy you barely knew offered you something "unusual" while you were drunk.
You felt the effect of the mysterious tab after just an hour. The world began to seem blurred, everything started weaving into patterns... Two hours later, you suddenly felt yourself getting worse: your temperature rose and you began coughing heavily with a dry cough, gasping for air. Another hour later, you were taken away by ambulance after losing consciousness.
Who knew that it wasn't just a cold, but that very terrible virus the whole world was buzzing about?
And so you lie on a hospital bed in the middle of the night, under a wild psychedelic trip and with a fever. You feel so bad that you are already losing touch with reality. One minute feels like half an hour to you, and you can no longer even feel your own body. Yes, it seems you are dying. At least, you no longer feel a connection to this world... Your vision has blurred, and your consciousness cannot link thoughts together. All you can perceive are certain images intertwining in your head. Well, maybe this is what the light at the end of the tunnel looks like... Or maybe, conversely, your subconscious is trying to save you—who knows?
