Posts from Mafia 83. Doctor Who: Aliens in London Auto-translated

This is the first time I've come across a topic of this kind. I really enjoy the classic game of Mafia (where you have the mafia, the cop, the medic, the... uh, typical European, and the townspeople), but here (no offense), it all seems very complicated and unclear. While reading about one "character," I forget about the previous ones. It looks interesting, but I'm afraid I won't be able to understand these character descriptions, the many abbreviations used in the descriptions, etc. However, if someone could explain the essence of the roles and what they do in a simple and detailed way, I would be grateful.

umm, typical European

This role has been called many things, but I'm seeing this interpretation for the first time! ) I personally got used to calling it "librarian." It makes you read books, you know. --

I can try.

They've called this role by many names, but I'm seeing this interpretation for the first time! I personally got used to calling it "librarian." It makes you read books, which is good.

The fourth role is associated with negativity and mockery) and reading books is a good activity) The librarian is better off being among the peaceful inhabitants)
Try it) In this thread or in PM?

Here, in this section, it's the same standard Mafia game, but the roles are simply adapted to specific characters (in this case, characters from an old science fiction series) to make the game less boring.

Third place.

From this moment on, each participant will receive a turnip.

Where is my turnip?

Can I re-register?
I'll write in the general discussion section.

I'll try to sign up tomorrow or on Thursday. Although I was planning to wait until I get vaccinated. But for now – good luck, Kosha. The setting is interesting, the only problem is the time.

I'll try to play. Number 5 for me.
IMHO, for easier understanding of the characters, it would be helpful to clearly divide them into "mafia" and "non-mafia," and list all the abilities in a table. I looked at the previous topics, and things became more or less clear.

In my opinion, for better understanding of the characters, it would be helpful to clearly divide them into "mafia" and "non-mafia" groups.

Actually, yes. I remember when I first joined the Egyptian mafia, I didn't immediately understand who belonged to which team. For a newbie, it might not be so obvious.

And there might be few players because many people simply don't know that we play mafia on our forum. Most people come here because of Heroes, and they often don't pay attention to other sections. I, for example, initially registered to upload my map for Heroes 4, and only a few months later did I accidentally notice the mafia topic. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would be interested in playing, but they just don't know about the game. What do you think, should we somehow make this known to a wider audience? Of course, we don't need to aggressively promote signing up, just convey the information as a fact.

How are roles assigned? By a random number generator, or does the host assign them? What is an ultimate action? How does it interact with the night action?

What is an ultimate action? How does it combine with a night action?

The first option is usually used.

It's a one-time night action. Sometimes it has multiple charges.

Some experienced game masters (like myself) use colors to distinguish the factions, which is quite obvious. Here, I've also added names to each faction, and there are win conditions, which should also be clear. Another challenge is that there are two independent mafia factions and one smaller faction playing for the city, which isn't typical for experienced players.

Only random assignment, only hardcore.

At the current rate, I'm afraid we won't be able to recruit enough players in time.
